  YSR is coming across as pretty genuine and simple.
  
  In another recent Kumudam Issue, Drummer Sivamani
  Describes "IR isai Alva saapiduvathu maadiri and ARR isai Cake pola". (IR-ukku alva kodukkamal
  irundhal sari:-)) His interview was quite
  interesting. I will try to post it here.

  People are upset with YSR's mAmA mAmA song. Guys, I think what YSR has tried to do is - give a humorous modern song in the classical format. If the number one MD of the country can pass off a remix kind of song in a big director's movie, why cant some upcoming musicians experiment ?
  BTW, YSR is the only guy I know who records like ARR. It has a very sweet sound. I really wish he helps out his dad on this front.

  Dear Chandy and others,
  
  I had gone through the postings critizing his 'The Blast' album. As such when I listened to the album, I liked them all including 'Mama Mama'. I accept that the lyrics for 'Mama Mama' is very bad. Apart from that I don't care whether it is a modern version of a carnatic song or not. When ARR composes 'Alaipayudhe' in a modern style you say it is not spoiling the original song. Who said? Original is original and what so ever you do after that is a kind of remix. When you modernize a song, is there any rule which says you need to keep the same lyrics. Well if that is the case which category 'Vande Matharam' belongs to. Use same yardstick if you wish to compare. I respect your opinion but others have theirs too. You can try to justify yours and so too everyone else. I find YSR as most promising. I listened to 'Aravindan', 'Velai', 'The Blast', 'Poovellam Kettuppar'. They are all excellent scores and I rate them even better than ARR's. 'Mama Mama' is a humorous song as Kiru rightly mentioned it. There is nothing like it should be done this way or that way. Healty criticism is good for any kind of music. Biased critisms does not serve any purpose

  Gokul,
  
  ARR kuda nera vaanathula irundhu nera MD aanathu pola pala interviewla solli irukaaru. IR perai sonnatha ninaivu illai. Athukku enna seyya? (recenta IRkku 'Punnkai mannan' padathula computer use paanni music arrange pannatha sonnaar). Athavathu ivarthaan computer la music arrange pannatha. Ivarai thalaikanam illatha 'humble' aalu endru neengal sollanum. Naanga ketkanuma sami? ARR MSV music pidikkum, SAR music piddikkumnu solli irukaar. IR music kettathe illaiya?
  
  KR sonna thappu. ARR sonnaa thappu illai. Ada ponga samikala. Aamaa appadi ennathan IR ungalukku thappu panittar? Vazhka Thamizh makkal.

  I am inclined to agree with STS, It is quite true that ARR fights shy of praising IR too much, and he's been doing so from the beginning of his career- Everytime he gave an interview in his earlier days, he used to say MSV pidikkum, G Ramanathan , RD Burman pidikkum etc. Nowadays he adds IR's name too...
  
  Anaavasiyama nammalukku suit aagumbothu oruththara(KR) criticize pannradhu nyaayamaa? Pls.avoid biased criticisms. (though STS ivalavu unarchi vasappada vendam)

  Hari,
  
  Yesterday after going through few postins I really felt bad and became a bit emotional. I thought not to post but could not control. Thanks Hari.
