  Ravi--Testing Contd.
  My posting in your "advertising & popularity" thread showed up now even tho it looked like it wasn't accepted.
  However, the "En paattinilae Badhil Irukkum" thread is a total blank on my screen.

  Ravi:
  It worked now, tho a bit slower :-) I'm going to check out the "Badhil" thread to see if it's still a blank.
  
  Gokul:
  This is such a great topic! :-))

  Folks ,,,
  
  I am sorry for this delayed response to this topic. I was trying to post yesterday
  but I could not see my postings. I thought it was one of those days for Ravi to do a
  night out recovering the TFM Page. Today I am surprised to see all my postings have
  gone thru and so also this topic.
  
  I was actually scouting for a place to post some general stuff and I could not
  think of appropriate thread name (Also On my way back from Vegas, I found a No Name Exit
  in the interstate 70) hence this topic.
  
  This thread can be used for posting misc info.. such as..
  
  .. I was listening to Khalid's Album (Titled N'ssi or something like that) Guess
  what I found! There came a song which sounded familiar and I traced it to
  "Oh Shabba Oh Shabba adaicha kadavu thirakatha" (Arjun Starrer) and the next song
  in the album had the exact intro music of "Oh Shabba Oh Shabba".
  
  Either VidyaSagar has blended both these songs and given us "Oh Shabba Oh Shabba" or
  Khalid has copied "Oh Shabba Oh Shabba" into 2 songs! Ofcourse it is highly probable
  VS copied from Kahlid.

  Gokul,
  
  It was Vidyasagar who copied from Khaled in "Karna".
  Sirpy copied from Khaled in "Ullaithai Alli Tha".
  Deva copied from Khaled in "Arunachalam".

  Whoever copied from whomever, O shabbA O shabbA, is an excellent
  song. Some developments, measures in the song are very typical of
  Persian music. I am not sure, if anything copied could be that
  good. (Of course, there is thilOththamA in Asai.)
  
  I heard mOghamuL songs last weekend. Absolutely amazing. aruNmozhi
  has done a good job but shrikumAr is the best of the lot. manushan
  seems to have a lot of potential. sollAyO vAith thiRandhu is an
  amazingly beautiful song. Both jAnaki and shrikumAr have done it
  justice. The two songs sung by yEshudhAs are very good but it looks
  (hears?) like KJJ is losing his voice. His voice seems to
  "break" many a time. Hope it's my mishearing and nothing is wrong
  with his vocal cords. Can anyone who has seen the movie please
  confirm if the song "nenjE gurunAdhanin sEvadi ninaindhu" is
  sung after bAbu meets with that other famous student of his
  guru in madras.romba nannA pAdirukkA reNdu pErum.
  
  Another point I would like to make here (or should we start a
  separate thread on this?) is that we (Indian audience) put too
  much pressure on music composers. A good composer in India
  is expected to come up with at least 10 filmi albums every
  year and without any repeats or copies. This kind of expectation
  is way above what can sanely be called expectation. This can
  be correlated against the number of albums released by well-known
  bands (like Pink Floyd, etc.) or individuals (like J.S.Bach if
  you will - again he, Mozart, Saint Seans, are exceptions like,
  hold your breath, IR.) which usually number in double digits over
  their entire lifetime and even in those (at least I find) a lot
  of repeats appear or only one or two songs in every album even good
  to listen to.
  Once we realize this (or is it again my misconception?) we will
  stop calling any composer a copycat. After all there are only
  seven swaras.
  
  Regards,
  aruLarasan.

  Good point on the seven swarams. In an old TV interview, iLayaraja made the same point and demonstrated how some of his songs are "adaptations" of certain MSV tunes, with his(IR's) own signature style woven into them, of course.
  
  Do we, the audience, consider "sampling" to be an inferior practice, even if the composite end product sounds great? Why?
  
  
• From: easwaran hariharan (@ dd10-035.dub.compuserve.com) on: Fri Dec 5 23:33:10 EST 1997
  
  I also feel that as the fans we are putting too
  much pressure on our MDS. Even if a small
  part of music is inspired from other sources,
  we tend to call them as copycat. Is not sampling
  common in pop music?. I think as long as
  one is not copying note to note, and showing
  some creativity of his own, it should be
  ok.
  I will be more happy to see lot of MDS scoring
  few films, than few scoring lot of movies. But sadly
  in TFM, so far the only few are shouldering the
  burden, it is definitely affecting the quality of music.
