Venkki,

The academy consists of around 6000 members. These members may be artistes,technical guys, directors, composers. They will be asked to nominate their picks. And they can do this only for their respective departments. For example, ARR is a member of the academy and he can make his nominations only in the music category. Once the nominations from these 6k members are received, they are audited by an auditing firm. And top 5 ranked nominations are announced for each category. For best film category, the top 10 are considered.

The final voting is more or less the same like nomination process. Ballot papers are sent to these 6k and they have to vote based on preferential rating system. Again the results are audited by the same firm. This time, there will be only one or two from the firm who do the counting. And these two remain the only people who know the results before it is announced officially in the Kodak theatre.

நன்றி அஜய். நீங்கள் சொல்வதைப் பார்க்கும் போது இசை என்ற துறையிலேயே தனது விருப்பமான ஒன்றைத் தேர்ந்தெடுக்க கணிசமான அளவு மெம்பர்கள் இருப்பார்கள் எனத் தோன்றுகிறது. அதுவும் உலகத்தின் ஒவ்வொரு நாடுகளிலும் வந்து (அமெரிக்காவில் இசை பயின்று) ஹாலிவுட் இசைப் பணிகளில் ஈடுபட்டுக்கொண்டிருக்கும் பல மனிதர்கள்.. ஆறாயிரம் மெம்பர்களில் இசைக்கென நூறு நூற்றைம்பது மனிதர்கள் இருக்கிறார்கள் என வைத்துக் கொண்டாலும் இவர்கள் இசை தெரிந்தவர்கள். உலக இசை வடிவங்களை ரசிக்கத் தேர்ந்தவர்கள். ஒவ்வொரு வருடத்திலும் அதிக எண்ணிக்கையினால் தேர்வு செய்யப்படும் நாமிநேஷன்கள், விருதுகள் ஓரளவிற்கு தரமானதாக இருப்பதால் தான், ஆஸ்கர் என்ற தரம் இன்றும் விழாமல் பதக்கப் பட்டியலில் முன்னிலையில் இருக்கிறது என நினைக்கிறேன்.

Athey maathiri than Srinivas sonnathum. One can’t be sure what he really had in mind when he made that statement. But, neenga ellaam unga threads la atha discuss panni avara kalaaikaliyaa? Athey maathiri thaan Ajaybaskar senjathum. I also did not like when Ajaybaskar brought the issue here. But, enna panrathu? It is his right.

hello - cudnt help but notice you equating Srinivas with ARR and IR, in terms of giving credibility to his words

sorry just one question to mr.sakala

if kamal is in rahaman's position and rajini responds like raja what will be your take?

actually, replace kamal with rajini and kamal responds like raja wud be more apt! how many times Kamal has been bombarded by questions from the media abt his box office status compared to that of Rajini ??

IRIR, Why you show this much hatred on Srinivas? He is a hard code Rahman fan. He is into cine music because of Rahman. He knew Rahman very well than any other celebrity in Kodambakkam. Throughout his career so far, he encourages and involves melody part of music and he stands for it anytime. Just because he brought some controversial words, we do not need to bring down him to ground level.

Srinivas, in his FB page, posted a short review about NEPV, during its release. He said that Ennodu Vaa Vaa is a drishti parigaaram inthat album, and praised other songs. I commented him asking if he has guts to mention which songs are drishti parigaarams in ARR albums.

He replied me saying that he has the liberty of saying his comments directly to ARR.

I replied, intha dagaalti ellaam veNaam, can you publicly declare which song of ARR is drishti parigaaram, he deleted both his and my comment!

Meanwhile he said one song of NEPV has resemblance with ABBA ABBA. He deleted that too

Recently during IR's birthday, a mega size Cake was made with his pictures and placed in a Mall, some one invited Srinivas for that launch event and he came. Again some moron asked to sing a song on stage, and he sang an ARR song in an event meant for IR!

Even without all this, agree with irir123 that he is just a sumaar singer!

Sakala,

While replying to Srinivas, why did you ask him to mention the 'dhrishti parigarams' of ARR when the comment was about NEPV songs? From where did ARR come into the discussion? Either you should have proved that his opinion was wrong or substantiated your claim,right? Sometime back you said that IR cannot be with ARR or any current MD. In this case, you have intentionally or unintentionally done exactly that.

If you say that you brought ARR because Srinivas is an ARR fan, then it's even worse. A typical 'Engaalu cycle'la light illamathaan varraaru, ungaalu cycle'eh illama varraaru' type of fan boyish reply.

Srini is not even being considered an above average singer by you. Then why even bother to follow him?

MOHANLAL ON ARR SONG IRUVAR Kannai Katti Kollathe

I was nervous to sing for ARR’NENJUKULLE' FAME SHAKTISREE GOPALAN

A few days ago, Nenjukulle..., a single from Mani Ratnam's Kadal, was premiered on television. And ever since, the voice behind the number, Shakthisree Gopalan's inbox has been flooded with congratulatory messages. "It still hasn't sunk in. The response to the song has been overwhelming, and I feel blessed to receive positive feedback from so many people," she smiles.

So, how did the song happen? "I've been singing backing vocals for A R Rahman for the past couple of years and have worked with him in films like Ghajini and Endhiran. A few months ago, I happened to be in his studio for some official work, and Rahman spotted me. Out of the blue, he asked me if I would like to sing for him. I always carry my demo CD with me, and I immediately thrust one in his hands. It contained some of my original compositions as well. He listened to them right away, and within a couple of hours, I found myself recording Nenjukulle...," she recalls.

Shakthi adds, "Even when I was singing the number, I thought it was just a scratch vocal. Usually, I practise before I go to record even the backing, but on that day, I had not even done the basic warm up. I was quite nervous when Rahman asked me to sing, and was surprised when he retained it!"

Tell her that her rendition have also been criticised for sounding westernised, and she says, "I've trained in Carnatic music for over 13 years, and I've also learnt western vocal for some months. I'm part of a rock band, and I also sing jazz. I've mixed influences, and that's probably reflecting in the way the song sounds."

Nenjukulle... is not the first filmi number that this architect-singer has sung. "My last hit was Makalaya... from Naan. I've also sung for G V Prakash and a few other musicians."

I never follow him! But somehow his account was tied up to Raja Fans group. And its he who brought in ARR in his post! He said so "No one else here(in exception with ARR, who does it totally different) cud have done this!"

While no one one earth is waiting for Srinivas's review, i was irked that he brings ARR in to discussion. Thats why i too asked to list publicly, after that he brought in that abba abba comparision too. Thiruppi pesa enga kitta vishayamaa illai?! But he started deleting comments and so i left
