Singer Srinivas :

In 1992, in Coimbatore, was when I went to see Maniratnam's Roja because it was a Maniratnam movie. Dreams of playback singing had taken a back seat; I was in Coimbatore and travelling and didn't know how to approach it now. I was just taken aback by the freshness of Roja's music. After a long time, I had bought a tamil film audio cassette. This new person, Rahman, had introduced so many singers; the re-entry of Sujatha, Hariharan (my favorite!), Minmini (God knows who she was at that time!) and Unnimenon. Immediately, I realized that this person has an attitude towards introducing new artists, his music sounds fresh and he was definitely here to stay! On one of my official trips to Chennai, I got hold of Rahman's address and went to see him directly. At that time, he was very accessible (he had just started working on Pudhiya Mugam). He conducted a voice test; I sang a Mehdi Hassan ghazal and he liked it. I mentioned that I lived in Coimbatore and he said that if I moved to Chennai, he might be able to work with me. By the time I came to Chennai in 1994-95, he had shot through the roof!.. The gates had become bigger at Rahman's place (laughs!). It was difficult to even get through to his office. With persistance and a little bit of luck, I was finally able to see him again. As soon as he saw me, he remembered. That's Rahman!.. He's human... and he's got GOD inside him as well! He slowly started giving me singing assignments.

The Different of ARR and Illai: (by srinivas)
How does Rahman usually go about doing a song? Does he tune it first or does he let you sing and improvise as the song progresses?


Rahman's approach is totally different which now many people have started following.(such as Harris Jeyaraj-the clone-said by me,dinesh) For example, Raja Sir has the whole thing in his mind from the very beginning. You don't have a doubt about what you should sing and you better not! (laughs). Two totally different schools of music. With Rahman, when you go in, nothing is ready. He just feeds in some basic chords. When you listen to them on your headphones, you are transported to some other world. Within two minutes, he creates a masterpiece of a loop. Those chords are just magic. You feel like singing so much! He incredibly motivates you when singing, which is also the reason why artists (singers and instrumentalists alike) give him the very best.

  ok ok...for Prabhu who requires my answer...
  
  here it comes (pudichiko naina)
  
  Dear Prabhu...u see the difference with ur accusation and mine are :
  1) I never accused IR fans generally..i always say ...SOME
  2) I look at really nasty, dirty posting...(cant post it here, or else..there will be no diff. from them and me)
  3) I always respects IR's true fan (OK, this reason is only to make the no. of point ODD...he he he)
  
  and Prabhu...i don't think Vaathhiyaar and Ruben are the same person man...i think they are different...
  
  **************************************
  Anyway PRabhu...ur last posting shows, how bad u could be at times too.....don't post something stupid like that man...

  Look at Prabhu the Moron who pretends to be a holy cow talking! LOL!
  
  This is not surprising since IR is the King of vulgarity, therefore his fans like Prabhu the Moron also has fantasies of the lower senses of life.

  Paran, naakkai pudinggikkira maathiri appadi kelu! LOL!
  
  Don't forget that this moron accused you of being Platinov, just a few days ago. Now he shamelessly seeks your support.
  
  And see how easily accuses ARR. This is the moron who has no b@lls to take a stand and pretends to be neutral. LOL!

  Paran, no I am not him and am nowhere near him. LOL!
  
  If this Prabhu the Moron had not pulled in my name unnecessarily I would not be here so long posting so much.
  
  But I must admit that it is fun to tear thsi moron apart. LOL!

  Sure Paran!
  
  Unlike Prabhu the Moron, I have a life and don't want to spend all my time here.

  Prabhu the Moron
  
  Good that you have finally proven to all posting here that you are nothing but an a$$hole. Do you think you can use your stupid idiotic tricks to stop me from posting here? You are a real a$$hole if there was one.
  
  And what is this obsession with pigs? You even make similar noises. Have YOU degenrated from sex with males to sex with pigs now? I will be the least surprised, seeing how moronic and stupid, not to mention sex-crazed, you are.
  
  OK, let us now do an analysis of Prabhu the Moron now:
  
  1. Prabhu the Moron came to an obviously stupid conclusion that only one person can post from 100s of IP address.
  
  2. When given proof that he was wrong, Prabhu the Moron instead of graciously admitting defeat, took a complete different path and started singing a different tune.
  
  3. When proven that Prabhu the Moron was looking for gay sex, Prabhu the Moron started using obscenities and began fantasising about mothers (ivanum oru thamizhanaa!)
  
  4. When he felt that he was losing ground Prabhu the Moron began seeking support. And what a support he sought, someone who he had just abused a few days ago.
  
  5. When Prabhu the Moron failed to get the support he thought he would get, he now began to abuse the innocent third party.
  
  6. Now Prabhu the Moron pretends to be the victim, when all the while he has been harrasing people who had differing opinions. If he had not pulled my name unnecsaarily, this analysis of his filthiness would not have happened and no one would be wiser to Prabhu the Moron's a$$hole ways.
  Now Prabhu the Moron's mask has been torn apart for the whole wide world to see. LOL
  
  Lastly, note Prabhu the Moron's last few words and you will notice his fascination with the posterior.
  
  Come on Prabhu the Moron, this is NOT the place to look for gay sex! LOL!

  Ruben,
  when others keep quite and don't reply to you, you think you can write whatever you want?
  It's so hard to ignore you. why do you keep provoking IRfans?? Haven't you had enough fight?
  
  IR is greedy???
  IR is the point of rediculousness???
  and what else did you say?
  IR is the king of vulgarity???
  Can you not undertand the simple thing that only lyrics can be vulgar and not the music? hmm?
  
  For once stop bashing IR. When people are not fighting you back, it doesn't mean that whatever you write is true. It only means that they are sick and tired of you. Hope you understand that.

  Do you want your a$$ to be kicked like Prabhu?
  Looks like you guys love to be abused?
  
  Yes, I reiterate that IR WAS and IS greedy. Who cares if you get provocated? That does not mean I cannot tell the truth. If you cannot handle the truth, go kiss a rat's a$$. See if I care.
  
  And yes, IR is lewd, obscene, vulgar and dirty. Prabhu and YOU are living proofs of it. Go and listen to Nilaa kaayuthu and sink further into vulgarity. Tell me how come pre-IR and post-IR Tamil songs have suddenly become less vulgar? Doesn't that mean that IR had a hand in the class of songs.
  
  There is some thing else I really dare not talk about, that connects IR to vulgarity and sexual-abuse.
  
  I am sure some of the people here know about it. Quite a number in Kodambakkam know about it too, but sorry I ain't talking about it. It will make most of you puke.

  Ruben,
  blah.. blah..blah.. who do you think you are?....you really thought that you have kicked some a$$ here?? People are just learning to ignore your damn it! that makes you feel that you are on top. You got that? I can list a whole lot of new songs with more vulgarity than what came out in IR's period but you know what? decent people can't argue with you...so keep barking...IR and sexual abuse???? can't stop laughing...man! you ARE SOMETHING!!!
  
  This newtfmpage needs to learn a lot from you... you must thank them for giving you this great opportunity to prove what kind of person you are....
