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.

  Also...the song "Oh Mama...Mama" is more like "Columbus" from Jeans..the lyrics also have enhanced the songs....ARR has maintained supremacy because of his refined and sophisticated use of choruses, interludes etc...Harris has learnt well too..

  One master stroke is the use of Roopkumar Rathod in "Vanmathe"...watch out for more of RR in Tamil music...though the song beat is an Arabic rhythm which ARR had used in "Snehithane" in Alaipayuthe...

  I was not impressed with HJ at all. In fact I found that he too has just been hyped up. If he wasn't ARR's keyboardist, would we have been so curious to hear the album. I feel it has been quite a let down after all the hype I heard. Even KR's vanchnathan was better.

  S, YSR is probably to busy with his girlfriend in London to accept any projects.

  azhagiya theeya has more resemblence to "O Bhavre" from Daud. Can anyone throw light on this ?

  Harris is doing the Hindi version of Minnalae with the same team, Gautam and Maadhavan.

  Well said Venki. The songs are differently tuned and the melody is intact. The usage of Bombay Jayashree is excellent for Vaseegara. Tamil voice for a tamil song after a long time!

  Guys
  I read in Vikatan,that Harris is now demanding a whooping Rs90 lakhs per movie this he says as a tactic to get away from lots of Dirs Q thats waiting before his house.
  I heard he is being paid around Rs35lakh for his next movie. Or it may be even higher way to go man!!

  Hello,
  I saw the movie minnale and heard all the songs. Vasegara is just a very average song. I can't understand all the hype people have created for this song.

  No doubt Minnale is a good album. Nothing not great to demand 30 lakhs or 90 lakhs for the next movie. I personally feel the same hype was not created for Bharathwaj's Parthen Rasithen. It had excellent songs.

  Fliflo, Sats -
  Kuppayum Gopuram Aagum, Ithu Cinema varalaru. IR, SAR ellam appadithaan,.
  Any new talent has to be healthily criticised without any bias.
  No doubt, Vasseegara sung by a different voice, Bombay Jayashree is very good and melodious. Even YSR has used her after this in Thulluvatho ilamai. Kuppai droplets have approved Harris Jayarajs appropriate use of different voices. Harris is definite to create a record in using all types of voices in his songs, considering the way he has started.

  adaengappa Kripa
  
  how come you are able to judge this in a single film??? actually had you said it about ARR then its definetely acceptable not to HJ whose second album is yet to be released.
  
  and fyi, in an interview Harris had said that he was planning to use Vasundara Das for this song and situation(or something) made him to use Bombay Jayashree and you know what is his opinion about her voice, it is very OLD (might be meant as shaking) voice; and that is a indication of he was not for using her(bombay jayashree's) voice at all. In the same interview(that too for the same question) he told that earlier he was planning to use Vali to pen the lyrics for this song and when producer/director asked him to use thamarai he was bit sceptical but was amazed after seeing the lyrics. After saying this he came to talk about the voice-vasundaradas-BombayJayashree-Oldvoice and finally added that I did not expect this song to be this much hit. This final line shows his humility(i accept). But his remarks about BJ also clearly shows that using BJ's voice was not a planned one by him to show his appropriateness in use of different voices and any determination to create a record in using all types of voices in his songs.
  
  Lets wait and see atleast two of his albums. Why to jump too many conclusions at this early stage???

  unarchi vasa padadheenga...everybody has right to express their opinion about MDs.
  
  one more thing veriyan, i think Kripa has mentioned Kuppai as the background from which IR and SAR have come from, i.e from a poor background to this much height (this is in my interpretation and in my opinion)....

  Harris Jayarajs composition 'Vaseegara' is melodious and good, when compared to most of the songs which we hear today. Good Job! All the best to HJ for (most expected) next album!

  I am totally amazed by the 'VASEEGARA' song. I liked the 'relaxing.. heavenly..' music. But who is the singer? The voice too was a treat.

  his compositions are good lacks craftsmanship I cannot decide he is the supreme untill the release of next album,any how he cant compete with maestros padmashri A.R.Rahman,Illayaraja.Its very silly to demand Rupees 30 or 40 for a project ,Dont be greed time will come !!!!!
