No one has replaced Kannadasan

Kannadasan has written songs which profound meanings and a moral in every song.
ever since his death, there has been no one to take his mantle.His every song conveyed a meaning, something could be learnt from his lyrics.
But the situation has changed a lot now.
could this be attributed that the lyricists now are incapable of wriiting such songs or its the audience who dont want to hear those kind of lyrics?
could this be attributed to western influence on Indian Culture?
Hey wake up guys! What happend to Tamil culture, culture of India?
I would like to hear the responses from the makkal of tfm.

  Kannadasan was great lyricist by no means. No TFM lyricist has come near him . Vairamuthu has shown flashes of brilliance but on the whole Kannadasan songs are miles ahead.

  I've posted some of this in the Why no female MD's/lyricists.....What about VISHALI KANNADASAN....Isn't she in the same field? Why does she not step into his shoes? I'm not so clued up, but as she's supposed to be talented, I wonder why she's not doing lyrics.....Please comment. Thanks.

  Bharathiyaar had Bharathithaasan to carry on his legacy. Bharathithaasan had Suratha (Subburathinathaasan)to carry on his legacy. Kannathaasan, himself being a thaasan, has made sure no one can emulate him even in name.

  Here is a quote which partially addresses this topic:
  
  "kalaiyin mugaththaik kAyappaduththi vidAmal Ayiram vetRigaLai aLLik kuviththArgaLE andha munnOdigaLai vaNakkaththOdu ninaiththuk koLLa vEndiyirukkiRadhu.
  
  vAzhum thalaimuRaikku thamizh katRuk koduththa vasanangaLaiyum, ilakkiyam katRuk koduththa pAdalgaLaiyum kaNNeerOdu gnAbagam koLLa vENdum pOlirukkiRadhu.
  
  aduththa thalaimuRaiyaip patRi achchamAiyirukkiRadhu.
  
  rasanai mARi irukkiRadhu enbadhu poi. rasanai mAtRappattirukkiRadhu.
  
  rasanai enbadhu mAtRap paduvadhRkuriyadhuthAn enil, ippOdhirukkum rasanai muRaiyai mAtRi amaippadhu kalai mEdhaigaLin kadamai."
  
  The originator of this quote--(gasp!)--vairamuththu. Isn't it ironical that vairamuththu, who has been an integral part of the process of creating the current tastes, would say such a thing? :-)

  Krishnan - You have started this topic at the most appropriate time. Today (20 June)is the birthday of the much respected Kaviarasu. Those who are able to tune in to Malaysia's Radio 6, be prepared for a huge feast. :-)))

  oops! what a response to the topic that I have statred.heheh.For a newbie like this this encourages.The thing i noticed is that most of the makkal of tfm have accepted that there is no one to replace the great Kaviarasu Kannadasan.
  I pray thank god for the fact that it is not the people who have changed , but it is the lyricista who have changed and are unable still to make an impact upon us!!

  A few days ago, I had posted the following in the
  'Sivaji Ganesan' thread. The latest Kungumam has
  viewers' comments on this. I have posted those below.
  
  --------------------------------------------------
  
  Looks like Sivaji Ganesan decided to open his
  mouth wide-out this year. Recently there was a
  grand function in Singapore to honour his great
  achievements in acting. People like KB, BR, VM,
  SowcarG, SDevi, Deva, Hariharan, AnuSriram...
  all showed-up. At the end of the function, in his
  speech, here is one of the things that he said:
  
  vairamE, muththE! nee mattum kaNNadhaasanukku munbu
  piRandhirundhaal kaNNadhaasanai minjiyiruppaay!
  ippOdhum kuRaindhu vidavillai. avarai jeyiththuk
  koNdudhaan irukkiRaay.
  
  It seems there were many who felt very uncomfortable
  with this comment. Later, during dinner some
  approached SivajiG and asked him: enna Sir,
  neenga Vairamuththuvai Kannadhasanudan oppittup
  pEsiyadhu saridhaanaa? To this, the great
  actor answered: naan enna poyyaa sonnEn? avan
  senjittu irukkiRadhaiththaanE sonnEn. ena manasil
  irukkiRadhaiththaan sonnEn.
  
  Folks, what do you think about SivajiG's comment?
