NEPV - "discovery" by a blogger

While listening to the awesome songs of Neethane En Ponvasantham (CD | mp3) by Ilaiyaraaja, I made an interesting discovery. To me, it looks all the songs end in the Panchamam (Pa note). Not sure if it is intentional or if it is coincidental. Songs ending with Shadjamam (Sa note) is very common. But all 8 songs (actually 9) from the album ending in Panchamam was interesting.

BTW, the "Rajiv Shankar" this blogger refers to is our hubber skr I think

Gautham "provokes" a blogger to list some negatives

Not many had written negative comments about this music album in any of the online sites that I have come across so far. Some of us have bottled up a few negatives about this music album due to love, gratitude and respect for Ilaiyaraja's contribution to music. I seriously would not have penned these thoughts if not for Gautham Menon's provoking statements.

Of course, these negatives have already been discussed threadbare in the hub...

Your next release will be Gautham Menon's 'Neethane En Ponvasantham'.

I guess so. The music is already topping the charts, and I can't wait for the audience to see the film. I had shed a couple of kilos to fit in the role of a school student for a part of this film. I'm also juggling Bejoy Nambiar's David schedule, and I think this film should also hit screens soon.

Finally getting hold of Vaanam Mella Keezhirangi maNNil vanthaaduthE, thooral thandha vaasam ingu veesuthingE. The tune, orchestration, lyrics and Raja's singing define a new trend in composition. Will write about this celestial beauty very soon.

IMHO, saRRu munbu is National Award material. Except for one place - thEyndha vennila thirumba vaLarumA where she sounds strained Ramya sounds fine. I hope this does not ruin her chances. (V_S, looking forward to your review of vaanam mella - my emotional favorite and saRRu munbu my technical favorite )

One thing about singers struggling in NEPV - the portions aren't that easy.

There's no question the prior-gen singers like SPB-SJ, when in top form, would have oodhith thaLLified the job (and would have even made it appear as if those portions were not tough)...but those portions are not cakewalk when I try to sing along

Actually, all the songs - with the exception of the beer 'ennOdu vA vA enRu' - are 'tough-to-sing' variety.

That way, people will struggle to even hum them in bathroom.

Another reason why 'ennOdu vA vA' will be more popular than others with the masses.

However, Yuvan singing the first line of pallavi ("sAyndhu sAyndhu") in a different mettu on stage was unsahikkable. That song was saved on stage by the orchestra & the female singer. Apart from karNa kodooram, singing in almost a different mettu was not expected from a rAsA vArisu who is also a successful mettu maker

One thing interesting about Yuvan was "almost-not-looking-at-the-paper-and-still-remembering-the-lines",
