Dear Friends,

Let us vote for 'Adi Rakkamma' from THALAPATHI as our choice for the World's Top Ten Songs poll conducted by BBC!

I am suggesting this song because if in case the BBC people listen to the nominated songs, they will feel knocked out on hearing our Maestro's 150 Vioins' Strings Ensemble!

Let us all do it at:

Yours Always Musically,
Vijay.

  Karthik, tat was an interesting tale. but why shud this Ygeetha person be ashamed to be called a HCARRF. We know most HCIRFs deny they r HCIRFs (but can we blame them?), but wat's wrong wit being a HCARRF?
  ""Alai meedhu is a stunning song from Kadhal Kavithai in such-and-such-raaga""
  tch tch, she had bad taste.
  "and then follow up with 10 posts that called IR a jerk."
  hmm, now i'm starting to like her.
  
  and hope this post didnt sound too balanced.

  >>>>>> More than 98 % of them said that Ilayaraja is far superior as a composer & the remaining said that they are equal. Not even a single person said Rahman was better.
  
  This must take the cake for being the stupidest statement of this century.
  
  If what is being claimed is true, why is ARR selling better than IR in every country listed there? In fact, IR's cannot even compete with a copy-cat like Deva, leave alone ARR.
  
  Could be all the IR fans are riggers to the core?

  OISG,Whenever you say something,even you act balanced,your posting always have a hidden agenda........all this comparison b/w IR n ARR is bcos people think ARR replaced IR(which he cant do....nobody else will)....You think IR replaced MSV(which he didnt do).....so ur logic is simple ethiriyin ethiri nanban.....

  hmm.... don't know how long u will be keeping on using the "decent" flag..... wonder what is the name u gave to the "decent" things u do :-)...

  Some examples of DECENCY are :
  
  recognising good in people
  honouring people for their achievements
  being humble
  respect differing views
  not resorting to vulgarity

  WN,
  
  Quiet. Ah ... I can hear the sound of my posts going whizzing past your head.
  
  What more can I expect from a juvenile that thinks losing the 'h' is a cool thing to do. In your rich tradition, may I tell you that you are sit :) Offence Meant.

  wat happened? ran out of ur creative steam when ur little story lost its spark and came flying back at u. dont confuse ur bird brain wit some delusion of having made an impact in tis world wit ur pathetic posts.
  First u make a totally silly remark to OISG abt his posts sounding balanced and when ur stupidity landed on ur face, u tried ur hand at shooting in the dark wit some conspiracy theory. And now, lost for words, u do wat ur kind is famed for doing: swear. And ur silly head tells u tat abbvns r used bcos they r cool. :D grow some guts bozo. U can't make 3 consecutive posts witout showing ur true colours, and u thot u cud preach to OISG abt how is posts shud sound?

  Sabs, what happened to you?
  
  Why don't you become a voice of reason and dignify the IR fans instead of breeding more HCIRFs like the poster below yours?
  
  Sometimes, silence is golden.

  Alvn - true - silence is GOLDEN :-).... well, i will get used to it (Aalavandhaan, personally, it hurts to read IR fans are not decent and ARR fans are DECENT - the first part does'nt bother, but the second part bother's, cause that aint' true!!!!!! hey, "oru thulli VISHAAM and oru andaaa VISHAAAM", does it make a difference ? VISHAM is VISHAAM, right ?).....

  Sabs:
  
  I can see the honesty in your postings..well..if peoplelike you NagaS and other start voicing against many craps like in your camp then there won't be any problem. Ya..people in our side too indulge in that...but most of the time it comes out of a reaction. ANd those few who spill venom against IR unwarrantedly go away from the forum the next day..Its very hard to point out one single person from ARR who keeps on ditching out at IR...Now I am not preaching..well both sides have dust to clean..what I say is if people start cleaning their home house then they need not hear advices from neighbour...
  
  Once when a fellow called IR by his caste name I immediately condenmed him thread after thread and where is that person now...such people come and just vanish in oblivion..the next day.

  Well said Aalavandhan, but some people never learn.
  
  Did anyone notice tis on the BBC site?
  
  "Waa Qalanjo yaab leh
  (She has an amazing beauty like a wonderful star)
  by Hassan Adan Samatar
  Why: This song is moving because it's about a man who is relieved that the woman he loves isn't already married. He says his beloved is so beautiful that any man who sees her will surely immediately fall in love with her. Only her modesty has kept her safe for him.

  Quite funny...
  Mr Ismail Omar Ghelle, President Of Djibouti Republic should have lot of time in his land for all these things...
  
  Had there been Cong & BJP, Hindu & Muslim then he will have no time for songs or dance...fight one and appease the other.

  By the way, in the latest Rolling Stones magazine Dec26th edition, this was mentioned on bottom right corner of the 20th page:
  
  MODERN TRIVIA:
  According to a bbc poll, the most popular song on the planet is "Rakkamma Kaiyya Thattu' from a 1991 Indian film soundtrack.

  From the talking point link,
  
  "Boy, you don't want to get into world's best song and then only vote for English-language songs. Musically, my favourite song is a Hindi song called "Dheeme Dheeme". Lyrically, you can't compare songs because you are bound by language, and english-language songs have a decided edge because most of the Internet is in English (87%), and most of the Internet community speaks English. Oh, and I don't speak Hindi and am not Indian.
  mike, USA"
  
  Wat is Dheeme Dheeme? Is it Dheemi Dheemi from Earth? Tho i know Earth had an intnl release, the last line sounds corny.

  Mike, USA: Hindi songs is a good starting point, but please find your way into some Tirrukkural & IR songs and give one more write up like the above ;---)

  It's amazing to see that the Indian maestro Ilayaraja been chosen. His songs won't make us dance but they are melodious and of course they will make the listeners light hearted and get peace of mind.
  Ginesh Gandhi, India
  
  Silent Night - this song has crossed countless boundaries - both physical and mental. I even have a Hindi version.
  John Broadway, UK
  
  A real genius in music is Dr Ilayaraja. I support this poll as it has brought to light the genius of music Dr Ilayaraja who has composed a symphony with the London Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and has scored music for more than 800 films and over 4,000 songs. I am happy to see this real talent being focused on now. I hope now the world music lovers can cherish his evergreen song.

  VM leads in Asia, Americas and Africa. Wonder why HCARR fans spared Europe and Middle East? ;-)
