Who is this Harris Jeyaraj?
Apart from being a keyboard player for ARR, what is his history?
He wasnt in the news until he came up with this album of Minnale, which defly deserves a mention.
Dhina who was in news quite sometime is no more to be found. HJ came in limelight with his first mega release, which my friend in Chennai says has become a hit overnight. Post news links to HJ here.

  Vaseegara is a wonderful song!
  
  
• From: MusicFan (@ 38.149.123.2) on: Mon Dec 4 22:55:01 EST 2000
  
  overall the album is okay !!
  
  B- approx = 70 %
  
  1.
  Azhagiye ....is very similar to Mustafa...
  especially the first interlude....and the
  chorus (oh oh ...)....By Harish Ragavendra
  This is the best one. Gets's 85 %
  
  2.Vaseegara is good....flute interludes are pretty
  good. By Bombay jayashree...gets 85 % too
  The song starts with a flute piece and right
  before the vocal starts there is a small pause.
  The pause actually sounds really odd, it sounds
  like they have cut and pasted the flute piece.
  But it sounds different. Listen to it again. !
  
  3.Verenna Vendum - by unni and harini...is okay too 60 % nothing special
  
  4.Ore Nyabagam with just the guitar and
  is okay too...devan should improve his
  tamil pronounciation....60 %
  
  5.Ooh Mama by Shankar Mahadevan, Tipu
  SUCKS - 45%
  
  6. Venmathiye Venmathiye Nillu
  Its a pretty good one. gets 80%.
  The first interlude right after
  the flute piece is an exact copy of
  Evano Oruvan Vaaseekeraan from Alai Payuthey
  (Swarnalatha's) Other than that
  the song is good.
  
  Lots n Lot of similarities !. He worked with
  Rahman so he has his style. Like Raaja most of the time he uses two flutes high one and the base one together.

  Although Vaseegara is copied from PS,Shanker-Ganesh,Pattikattu Raaja song Konjum Kili Vandhadu..especially this song's Saranam...Naan Thane..Putham Pudhu Thendhane is the basic beat for VASEEGARA... the interludes and different voice of B.J. had made this song so popular already..In Chennai almost ALL college girls sing this song now ...H.J, certainly another sensation...Super Hit Music now is Minnale...A.A.

  AA.,
  Just curious, Neenga ethaavathu Ad agencyla irukkeengaLaa ?
  
  Its just 3/4 days since the album was released and you say ALL college girls sing this song., EngaLukku chinna vayasileeyee kaathu kuththiyaachchu sir.,
  
  Paaraatta veNdiyathuthaan., But Over migaip paduththal will spoil the sport.
  
  The song is good., I agree., But I don't think it deserves this much Hype.

  Me thinks HJ is doing a la Deva for ARR. Six songs, two are inspired heavily. AzhagiyE == mustafa and venmathiye == columbus columbus.
  Doesn't anybody want to be original these days ?
  
  
• From: Highly jobless (@ 216.68.113.231) on: Tue Dec 5 14:53:37 EST 2000
  
  Kiru,
  
  Don't you think ARR and IR are quite original?-)
  Just curious.That's all

  NagaS,
  Just a friendly comment.
  I have noticed you praising IR's mediocre albums with all the exaggerations one can think of and expect others not to even state the facts about what's going on in Chennai about a song from a new MD?.
  
  Come on shed this prejudice and be fair.
  
  
• From: vijay (@ 129.252.23.163) on: Tue Dec 5 15:57:52 EST 2000
  
  well as i said before, depending on how Vasegara is picturized the song could be inn Top 10 for a long time. the album as such is pretty mediocre save for this song. Anice tune, and a nice flute piece to go with it. and unlike most of ARRs recent songs the song doesnt lose its flavor even in the charanams. but after listening to the other songs in this album u wonder whether this one was a fluke composition ;))
  
  and its no surprise to me if its a hit in madras

  digression
  
  http://www.kumudam.com/lightsonline/pg3.html
  
  friends please see this site. imho i don't know how people got so much forseeing power in saying that HJ is going to beat ARR and all sorts of junks.
  
  based on all ur earlier postings in this thread and the author's idea in the above mentioned link i just could think HJ as Deva of ARR(as kiru said). but i haven't yet listened to any of minnalae songs.
  
  well one shud shun such too much hypes created by the media and business circle in vested interest for a person even b4 he/she actually becomes popular. only then v can do justice to a budding artist(e).
  
  lets wait and see whether HJ beats ARR or stirs like Deva or turns out to be junk MD with lots of hype(my favourite SAR) or another mushroom of yesterday's rains.
  
  so i think HJ doesn't deserve a thread yet. after all greates like IR about 15 yrs later than his arrival and ARR got a thread about 4/5 yrs later.
  
  end digression

  Guys(especially to IR fanatics),
  Stop talking abt the past. Even i was IR's big time fan once. But not anymore...I'm totally pissed off with IR's compositions right after the arrival of Rehman. Can ya list a good album of IR after 1992? Even if u could i'm sure it'll be crap and u r trying to defend IR. So,instead of poking at the new Mds, try to appreciate them and welcome them. Film music is a business nowadays. Rehman is the king of that trade and now Harris Jeyaraj with his "Minnale" has proved that he is the prince. Minnale songs are already the top cassette sellers in chennai. Simply if u call it a copy of old songs it doesn't mean so...Do ya think the people in channai are fools and u guys are the only bunch of music lovers? Better grow up guys...Come out of IR's ring. He is out...He is already out of the commercial tamil music.

  Dorai.,
  I don't mean to say exaggerations should not be there., But they should make some sense. If I say 'When I listen to this song, I feel like crying'., It may be TRUE or I am just exaggerating. But just imagine a statement like 'ALL the people in Chennai are listening this song' or 'ALL the people in Madurai are crying when they hear this song'., Don't you see the difference ?
  
  'Nilavu oru peNNaagi ulavukinDRa azakoo' enpathaiyum 'Vaay peesum poovee nee, ettaavathu athisayamee' enpathaiyum ennaal eeTRuk koLLa mudikiRathu., ('Coz I know he is exaggerating :-)., But 'Ava sirichchaa., sirichchathum., 100 paeru seththup poittaan' enDRaal, erichchalthaan varukiRathu. Hope you get the point.
  
  New MDs are to be given support by people like us., I agree., The same happened when Dhina was booked for a MR movie. Please refer to my posting there., I am not against New MDs yaar, :-)
  
  I am an IR Fan and I like him more than any other MD., But that doesn't mean I will start throwing stones at people who praise other MDs in this page. I feel I am not as biased as you have stated.
  
  BTW., Vaseegara really grows on me. :-), Particularly the tune, the way Bombay Jayashree has sung without any Tamil kolai and music not dominating the lyrics. Any idea who is the lyricst ?
