Greatest Contribution of Ilayaraja to TFM

Topic started by Gowri (@ 161.142.100.86) on Wed Feb 13 23:08:16 EST 2002.
All times in EST +10:30 for IST.

What is Contribution? It means doing some thing that has never been done before. Or playing a significant role. In Thamizh, the word that comes to mind is "puratchi."
I believe every aspect of our great Isai Gnani has been explored in this forum except for a particular genre of songs. In this particular kind of songs, Ilayaraja is the mudisoodaa mannan. No one from MSV, KVM, ARR can touch Ilayaraja in this matter.

Okay, enough of this, let me get to the matter at hand. I urge all Fans, Fanatics, Dissenters and everyone else to contribute to this thread. Let me do the Pillayar Suzhi:

1. Nethu rathiri yemma (ursurpassed description of what happened)
2. Nilaa kaayuthu (who would have thought that munungals can be put to tune)
3. Antha nilavathaan naa kaiyule pudichen (by the master himself)
4. Eduthu vach paalum virichu vacha paayum (if music can be sexy, this is it)
5. Maaman oru naal malliyapoo koduthaan (innocent but deadly)
6. Orampo orampo rukkumani vandi varuthu (no doublespeak here - every thing is direct)
7. Raathiriyil poothirukkum (what a romatic song!)
8. Vaada vaattuthu (yet another masterpiece by the master himself)

  in your list only 1,3,4, 12,13 & 14 are folk-based, imho.
  
  thalayam poo mudichu is a wonderful song. who is the md? kvm?
  
  people would go on saying that ir is a dead horse. when you he ar the roaing, you know well that it is the king.

  Adhavan,
  
  I would still like to know who the MDs are for Gowri's list. Can you or someone help me out here please?

  ...But who in their right mind would want to flog a dead horse...
  
  I think you meant dead cat, and we all know a cat has nine lives. So IR has 8 more left! :)

  tigger, why dont u do what I do-just ignore them?I can think of a hundred replies.I dont see any point in trying to convince these chaps.
  Aadhavan, I hope u r still working on those translations!
  //nee enakkuL pudhaiyaledukka naanum unakkuL pudhaiyaledukka uyirin aazham senRu thaedu thaedu//
  //iru kaigal theendadha penmaiyai un kangal pandhadudho//

  while we discover the treasures in each other, we search deeper and deeper into our souls.
  [how romantic, wat song is this from?]

  whynot,
  i did select some more songs for adhavan and you.but,this thread has outlived its interest.that is why all these meanderings into village songs and what not.
  good day!

  yaaro, that was sad. When u come up with bawdy lyrics, the least you can is to do a good job at it. The ones you gave above were just too harmless, hence I cudn't resist translating them.
  If it is obvious the thread has outlived its interest, why did u post those lyrics in the first place? And that's meandering too, cos this thread is here to discuss only IR era.

  Something is very wrong here. Why do I need your approval or consensus to begin this thread? And what has remembering lines to some old songs have to do with this thread? Are you trying to confuse the issue? Nice try, though. :)
  
  And why the fuss over country/village/folk songs? The scope for TFM is much much bigger than these.

  I stand alone in this? My! Tell that to the 100s of schoolboys who received smacking for singing Ilayaraaja songs in the 70s and 80s. :)
  
  As to your other issue, I believe ROTFL has suffiecntly answered it. :)
  Although I wish, he would not get personal.

  I liked the tone of your posting very much. Do keep it up. But I am sorry that YHO is wrong. All the songs are very much village based.

  And coming to yaaro. Looks like oorukku upathesam to me. :)
  
  First line says, to ignore and the subsequent line says to the contrary! LOL.
  
  This thread has outlived its interest?
  Keep on hoping, my dear yaaro. When many over here are hoping that Ilayaraaja's competition blows away in the storm (!), what is wrong in your hoping that this thread is of no interest any more. :)
  
  Before you raise an accusatory finger, please show me one thread that has not had any digression?
  
  Yaaro, can I suggest a way out for you? Pretend that you didn't see all these stuff addressed to you (since this thread has outlived your interest) and no one will be any wiser. :)

  yaaro, if you can't argue with merit, stop stooping down to personal attacks. it's getting tiring to hear people mud-slinging Gowri, simply bcos they can't put forward anything constructive to counter her arguments.

  whynot,you are also becoming a bore.truth hurts.I have enough to keep this thread going for few more weeks.obviously,gowri does not.hence all this digression.a suggestion:go get some life instead of jumping in to support people like gowri.I think,any IRF will agree that IR is a master in this type.so,what is there to disagree?you know,you remind me of a pettai rowdy threatening anyone who does not agree with you.hell hath no fury like ......

  yaaro,you are also becoming a bore. truth hurts. for example you have enough to keep this thread going for few more weeks, obviously with all this digression. a suggestion: go get some life instead of jumping in to support people like tigger. I think, anyone will agree that IR is a master in this type. so, what is there to disagree? you know,you remind me of a coward who can't make any valid point and has to resort to phrases like 'hell hath no fury like ......' but doesn't even have the guts to complete the sentence.

  No it is not. What we hear is the HCIRFs roaring! :)
  
  
  tigger, why dont u do what I do-just ignore them?
  
  Well, no one can say that you were not given a fair chance. :)
  
  
  Although I wish, he would not get personal.
  
  Sometimes it helps, Gowri. Sometimes, it is the only way to reach these guys. :)
  
  
  everyone has their moment under the spotlight.this is yours.enjoy.yaaaaaaawn.what a bore you have become.go get some life.
  
  On the contrary, this thread is very interesting, as can be evidenced by your repeated posting. :)
  
  
  whynot,you are also becoming a bore.truth hurts.
  
  That's 100% correct. That's the reason why you (yaaro) are so hurt, that you are so unaware of your lashing out's. :)
  
  
  I have enough to keep this thread going for few more weeks.obviously,gowri does not.
  
  It is very obvious to us that YOU have nothing, and that is why you are going in circles with useless arguments. :)
  
  
  -....like a woman scorned.
  Hold on there! The hell I see being raised here is by yaaro and not WhyNot.... :)

  Basically you accused me of not knowing any of the old songs and I "proved" you wrong by giving the lyrics for some of them. I just wanted to make sure that you didn't get those songs just by doing a search on Google or any other search engine. This way I know that I am talking to someone who knows his/her stuff and not someone just out to cause mischief (BTW are you a he or she?)
  
  And old songs are relevant to this thread. I am just trying to explain my contention that IR's greatest contribution is in this area.

  ROTFL rushes to rescue!gowri,ROTFL and whynot have formed a cosy mutual admiration society.pat each one on your backs and tell how smart you are and carry on.
  -//....like a woman scorned.
  Hold on there! The hell I see being raised here is by yaaro and not WhyNot.... :)//
  this was an observation on this posting by whynot in response to this
  //Django was right ... this is all utter nonsense (the only reason I'm here is because this reflected as one of the returns for a search i made)... and WhyNot - no need to get so defensive. Grow up, will you? //
  If i did not agree with the title we can argue till doomsday.since we DO agree,what is there to argue?grow up guys.this is the fourth time I am telling you we all agree that IR is the king is this genre.get the message?I can give you 100 other songs by IR.
  gowri, dont allow tigger to deviate the topic by discussing about village songs and whatnots.what does IR know about villages?completely city educated isnt he?
