Rediff inspired by my review?

Posted by: Karthik In: Uncategorized

Update 2: End of the issue. Rediff removes the review thanks to Prem Panicker, who got notified about this by another blogger, Amit of India Uncut! Thanks folks.

Update 1: Well, its the darndest thing! Rediff removes the review by S Sudha! Here’s the back-up version, just in case you wish to see it! In PDF (194 KB) | Zipped PDF (182 KB)

My 100 words on Emdan Magan, with music by Vidyasagar went up on August 16th. Rediff’s review was posted by S Sudha on August 21st.

Do I see a Kaavya-styled internalized lift here? Sample these!

Mine: “As a soundtrack, Emdan Magan disappoints…”
Rediff: “Vidyasagar’s score for Emden Magan is not great; in fact, it is disappointing…”

Mine: “Varaaru is marginally catchy, which will need significant help from its picturization to impress better”
Rediff: “Vaararu Varaaru is marginally catchy, but will need significant help from its accompanying visuals to impress.”

Mine: “Kalloori is a routine youngster’s track in the usual Vidyasagar mode.”
Rediff: “Kalloori is a routine youth track in the usual Vidyasagar style.”

Mine: “The composer returns to his Thambi-styled melodies in Koligundu kannu and Mannmeedhu – both are beautifully tuned and very well sung.”
Rediff: “He comes up with his Thambi-style melodies in Koligundu Kannu and Mannmeedhu, both of which are tastefully tuned and very well sung.”

What do you think…do I have a case?

    Normally, other composers copy from Raaja sir's compositions and modify it and release it under their name to sell de album, however, in dis case copyin' de write-up (mine is not music review, though...jus an interpretation of HIS Music) of poor fan/devotee of Raaja sir :)

    Ambe Vaani:

    Indiaglitz: the song is a complete carnatic treat from the soul stealers, the musician and the singer of international acclaim. Yesudas with his magnetic voice always gives his extreme best in these types of songs.

    Me: Anbe Vaani - a complete carnatic treat by both de soul stealers. Overwhelmin, Yesudas wid his magnetic voice...

    Ishtakkari

    Indiaglitz: lovely tune with rhythmic bass percussions

    Me: lovely tune wid Raaja sir’s contemporary style as backin orchestra. Wow, charamans starts wid bass percussion (Bass percussion, its a wrong term, though...lol)

    Manase Manase:

    Indiaglitz: The song and its percussion's have a touch of Rajasab’s Oliyilae Therivadhu song.

    Me: programmed percussion sounds like Oliyilae therivadhu song (Maybe he/she has felt de same as wut I did

    Paattellaam :

    Indiaglitz: The classical violin in first interlude of the song and electric guitar & classical violin in the second interlude are highpoint of the song, (ditto)

    Me: Solo classical violin in 1st interlude of dis song and electric guitar & classical violin in 2nd interlude are rockin’ n highpoint.

    Conclusion:

    Indiaglitz: But the album may be real musical feast in this noisy musical era, to the lovers of classical and serious listeners of music

    ME: A real musical feast in dis noisy musical era…Overall, I feel peacock feathers were been fluttering on mah ears.
