Comparing music is just kind of no-equivalance, coz SEL had good music with regards to Don, U1 will have a good resounding one for the new Billa. I am not trying to compare SEL to U1, but what I am trying to say is there will be a difference, difference is not bad!!.

yes it will lack bcoz ajith is 5'10/11" and amitabh is 6'2/3" Pathetic :lol2:

My previous post is the answer to all speculations by "cinema geniuses" :lol2:

If anyone wants to discuss about the hero come to tamil cinema thread n dont discuss here please.... :huh:

one thing i agree with bulb is that , Ajith or Vijay may not seem that great for ppl. who saw likes oif rajini/kamal in 80's........MIL, i guess u r also caught in that generation gap thingy when u make that "no-matter" statement..... :D

but other than that u1 will do good remix and all is crap.....wat is good remix bulb??? can u enlighten me on that???

and also whom should the creadit go to if a remixed song gets hit - the original composer or the copying composer??

What good remix? Some Songs can really be made to match the modern sound .... its cool.... 8-)

Credit goes 50:50 to original n new one 8-)

Billa songs will rock for sure :smokesmirk:

I think this thread is too early... i dont know why there r lots of speculationsi nhere for a movie that is yet to begin....

MODS i request u to lock this thread 8-)

MSV lovers will readily associate the MSV stamp with that number. The song was a hit due to a combination of good tune, good singing and good music throughout. No more no less :D

Let me know who can do the same job as good as SPB in this particular song. Personally I feel there are lot of songs he has just carried by his voice alone. Yeah, I am a HCIRF but that does not stop me to acknowledge the tune which is good, but definitely not good music. Just listen to the music alone without concentrating the tune/lyrics, you will very well see it.

"Let me know who can do the same job as good as SPB in this particular song."

This is difficult to tell unless someone actually sings it. Until then it will continue be in the realm of conjecture.

"Personally I feel there are lot of songs he has just carried by his voice alone. "

True, but which ones is the question :D

"Yeah, I am a HCIRF but that does not stop me to acknowledge the tune which is good, but definitely not good music. Just listen to the music alone without concentrating the tune/lyrics, you will very well see it."

I think we are in different wavelengths as to what constitutes good or bad music. The music for "My name is Billa" is certainly not a bad one, IMO. I specifically listened today after you asked me to (Not that I need to because the music is still fresh in my memory after all these years.) and I like the music. MSV has given music in line with the mood of the song without needless meandering interludes that was so typical of some songs of that era (early eighties), IMO. I believe that the hallmark of MSV music is to provide interludes mostly in line with what the song demands.

Ok, it is not a bad one. I say it is not a good one either... so where does it fall? average?? Let me know your ratings for tune, voice and music in that song. Tune and voice take over the music easily.

Mr. Judge I was responding to your "bad" to "good" through singing by SPB. Otherwise, my rating of the music is good. I like the interludes a lot. But that may be because I am a HCMSVF :D

Tune ---> good
Singing ----> great
Music ---> good (adequate -- what is needed is given)

Music4Ever,

"I like the interludes a lot. But that may be because I am a HCMSVF"

Now I see the picture clearly :D


"Music ---> good (adequate -- what is needed is given)" - To me what is needed is not given :) Such a powerful song should have more punch in the rhythm dept.

Mr. Judge I respect your opinion but still I will keep mine intact :D
Let us agree we have different views about interludes and captivating music in general. Anyway, good discussing with you and I feel you have been very civil. Maybe we will concur on some other aspect in a future discussion :D Take it easy.

M4E,

I respect your opinion and look forward to your postings in other threads.

And It will be good to see how YSR does it this time with more punch in the rythm dept and without SPB. Both of our wishes may come true, lets wait :)

FYI,

SPB along with Chitra are pairing for Chennai 600028 after long time and lastly SPB had sung for U1 in Nanda.....

There are probabilities that SPB can recreate the original song "My name is Bill" in rehearsed U1's song in Billa !!!
