இளையராஜாவின் தீவிர ரசிகர் என்கிற தகுதியைக் காப்பாற்றும் விதமாக, பெரும்பாலும் அவரது பாடலின் முதல் வரியைத் தவிர மற்ற எல்லா வரிகளையும் தவறாகவே சொல்லுவார், விக்கி

Yet another HCIRF who does not care about lyrics

Nerd / app / skv / thumburu,

Yes, that's me in the article. And no, I don't have the 'Padithurai' CD with me I do wish I have the CD.

Superb sir. Add me too for padithurai CD when you have

[app_engine]

Yes, that's me in the article.

Sureshji,


BTW, 'ayyO pAvam' to madam

[Sureshs65]

app,

That is Suka's touch I don't torture madam at all.

[MumbaiRamki]

this su.ka fellow's every other katturai ends in a death and a kaNNIr associated with death. No wonder Arya dropped the movie - su.kA must have killed Arya's brother's character in the climax

படம் எடுத்து வெளி விட முடியாத கவலை, வலி அவருக்கு தான் தெரியும்

Definitely Gautam handled Raja better. Raja was in good mood answering the questions for most part. For one question, about "his journey", Raja went to a different mode. But, Gautam quickly brought him back to the older (calmer) mode. mm..this guy has some skills.


At the start of the program, showed gautam's interaction with IR to get the tune (sainthu) and that looked real and a rare raja video.
In the end, Raja talked about "torturing public but not releasing the album".
Raja played the Piono for sainthu, to close the program.


That definitely was one of its kind Raja Interview.

"That definitely was one of its kind Raja Interview"....100% true,*
-GM was at ease during entire interview, appeared very genuine in his personal feelings towards IR.
- Asked some very nice questions
-The Zillion dollar question every HCIRF has...ie.., What goes in his mind when the song is being created ....he *( IR) was too quick to answer , when GM asked if he has any reference/prep etc....., IR goes I don't prepare....it just happens *at that moment...agreed....we have heard *that few times before in BBC interview..and other interviews. However he briefly mentioned....he used to prepare in his early days thinking about different things.....but not any more ...he says, could this be the reason why his 'Extreme experimentation" in his arrangement, orchestrations what we saw in his early days ( specifically late 70's and early 80's) which produced the immortal classics, *is missing now.
If I am not wrong...IR mentioned giving a thought process *is like producing an inhibited *product creation...as opposed to the one which happens uninhibited.*
I am not here to say, his uninhibited creations are not classics....but definitely they are incomparable to a la "Eara Vizhi Kaviyangal" *kind of songs
-His expected ( although less frequent ) off track philosophical statements were handled by GM well,


Waiting for Toronto concert eagerly......
Engeyum Epposdum Raaja.......

prabhudas,
If you hear what he said again carefully, he said, "During AnnakiLi days, I used to write lot of songs and then select the songs from them". This trend continued for only "few films", he said. Also this has nothing do with experimentation. This is just like having some already made tunes ready for the directors to select to save time. By 80 he already completed 100 films. So by few films it cannot be 100 films it can be 5-10 films or even 10-20 films, which may be completed around 77-78 itself. I . am not sure if we are extrapolating to our convenience till Eera Vizhi KaaviyangaL which happened in 1982 (almost 8 years after his debut, he would have completed 150 films by that time). Even EVK in that sense was not prepared at all, right? So now, will EVK also belong to underwhelming experimentation? or am I missing something? Please let me know.
