enna kanavillaye is a classic example why ARR is not suitable for situational song. It is more suitable for "jolly" type of song. rendering of the song by the singer and the lyrics made it like a melodies, but otherwise, it is not at all a romantic melody
kannukku mei ezhuthu - where are the instruments? |

What is it about ARR that makes people go over the top positively or adversely? Here are some facts:
1) Vidyasagar made his entry into TFM around 1989, three full years ahead of ARR. 2) It was not until about 1996 or so that VS started making his mark in TFM. 3) There may have been some melodies by VS before his second innings but I believe only the melodies after 1996 made him popular. (Please correct me if I am wrong here.) ARR was kicking ass by this time. 4) Some of his melodies (e.g. Poo vasam purappadum penne nee poo varaindhal) have haunting interludes that are wholly due to ARR's influence in TFM. It took VS about ten full years to provide the kind of interludes which ARR excelled from the start of his career. Just imagine that song without those interludes, but with mridangam or tabla instead. The song itself is nice but the interludes are the icing on the cake. In other words, ARR's influence was definitely there in Vs's soft melodies too. 5) If VS melodies were indeed that remarkable, he should have been able to compete with IR, which he didn't. (IR was still going strong around 1989 when his Varusham padhinaaru songs were super duper hits.) So, although VS is very good in melody making, he is still at most on par with ARR, if one wants to be charitable. Now let us compare songs. For every VS melody, one can easily produce a lilting ARR melody. And much more .... 1) Poo vasam purappadum penne versus Santhipoma iruvarum santhipoma. Both are equally pleasant to listen to. 2) Aasai aasai appozhudhu versus Jannal katragi vaa jarigai poovagi vaa. Both are equally enthralling. 3) Un samayal araiyil naan uppa sakkaraya versus Endhan vaanin kaadhal nilave. Both are equally gripping. Give me one VS song that can equal Nenjil jil jil jil jil ... kannathil muthamittal Other ARR melodies: 1) Vellai pookal 2) Sonnalum ketpadhillai 3) Edho edho ondru enakkule nuzhaindhu 4) Oru poiyavadhu sol kanne 5) Chotta chotta nanaiyudhu 6) Porale ponnu thayee 7) En uyir thozhiye I can go on and on, but I hope I have made my point. VS has blotted his copy book recently by producing many crap dabba songs. Give ARR some respect on this point. He has diligently maintained his standards. |
