prasad,

I will fully agree with you on Bhavatharini. That Raja gave her songs because she was the daughter. But in case of Yuvan, and I have been arguing this on twitter as well, Raja has kept him at a safe distance. He has only called him when some 'fun' songs were needed, as in 'Kadhal Jaathi'. In those cases, because the voices were supposed to be bad and Yuvan's voice fitted that to the 'T'. Can you give me one example where for a nice melody Raja has used Yuvan earlier? So I think it is very unfair to level this charge against Raja in the case of Yuvan, while it is perfectly fine in the case of Bhavatharini.

My personal take is, that using Yuvan would have been a decision taken upon GVM's request. For all the scorn shown, Yuvan seems to have his own set of youth fans. Now that makes no sense to me but the youth of today seem to have a predilection to bad voices and bad accent. Honestly do you think Udit Narayan or Sadna Sargam would have sung so many songs in Tamil had the youth been intolerant to the massacre of the language. As I said earlier, it seems to have been some sort of strategy to attract the youth and hence Yuvan got to sing the song. Maybe they think this will also become a hit like the 'oru kal oru kannadi' song from 'SMS'.

So before we throw stones at Raja, which we love to do at every occasion, and compare him unfavorably with others, try and find out why this happened, especially given the track record of Raja never using Yuvan for such songs earlier. That's the least we can do to Raja rather than come up with accusation of nepotism.

Ok one question to all ye meesicals - mispronunciation is by no means the only offence Yuvan could be booked under IPC for, right?

Youth south ellaam balderdash. This line of justification (adhuvum from Raaja fans) is an insult to him. Yuvan is not a singer, period. Bhava-va use panradhe thappu but idhu ulagamaha crame. Just think where this song would have gone with a *singer*

P_R,

Yes, Yuvan is no way comparable to Udit, who is a singer. I just wanted to bring to attention that not everything that we hold dear is something which everyone wants. And there may be circumstances where people have been OK with bad singers, bad pronunciation etc. (Even in the 'semmozhi paadal' we had rap for variety!!!) And we have seen that happen repeatedly with songs sung by Yuvan being 'hits' !!!

Bala,

I don't think there is any quarrel about Yuvan not being a singer. It is a question of why he used him. Was it something the makers wanted or something he wanted? That is my question. My feeling is that Raja may be more inclined to go with 'modern trends' where, whether we like it or not, a set of fans exists for Yuvan's singing. Only how the song performs in the market will give us an indication if the thinking by Raja and GVM was right or wrong. Given the type of songs I listen on FM when I go to Chennai and the sort of voices I hear, I am more than sure this will be accepted by the general public.

Personally, in this song, I can live with Yuvan's voice. Much better than how he sings in his own music.

phew! what a spiteful bashing of u1. He has a unique voice fit for "soul" songs.
"Oru naaLil Vaazhkkai ingu" (from Pudhu paettai) - idhellaam rajave touch pannaadha sila areas thannoda voicela
U1 touch panni irukkaar. - There are some emotions and situations suited for his voice .
Even KArthik Rajaa's soft voice is apt for certain songs. and indha songukku pallavila his voice suits. period.
how the tune flows in charanam and how his voice turns out in totality is one more thing and if it is a bit song
all the better..
