AR rahman sucks in my opinion. Its not DIVINE like illayaraja. I think you need difefrenet brain. AR rahman all show no substance. Illyaraja no show but substance isai medayil still ring in my ear
In the name of improvisation Hariharan sings his own songs differently at different times. That's bad....a song is a product of the composer and lyricist....a minor improvisation is ok in live shows... Totally changing the meter and feel is actually song assasination. That's not creativity. An already recorded and famous song should always be sung as it is! That's my take.
@@sudhakariyer14 Improvisation is good. Shows the expertise of singer but that can't be done blindly for the sake of it. Different pitch, tone and specs which kills originality. Personally watching live concerts for the past 15 years (mostly online). I find for present singers, Karthik is a fine musician who sings very well in live. Improvises only when there is a need to. Otherwise stay ori. Never take unnecessary risk. Although Hariharan is veteran in the industry, I think he should learn from his junior on not to irritate and annoy audience with shrilling voice and irritating singing
@@royalprince5878even I don’t like improvisation. But unfortunately many music lovers come to concert not to hear the exact same song, they can do that elsewhere or through cds or RUclips. They like to hear their favourite singer do some magic with their favourite songs.
Usha uthup was always flop she cant even sing classical she is only famous because of her sisters asha and lata.Hariharan is a classical singer and is very trained.
I know right,when Saathiya came I was like it's ok...but then a year later when I really heard the songs and my mind was completely blown. Aye udi udi,chupke se,mangalaym still give me goosebumps to this day.
This phenomenon only started after 2007. Most of his hit songs before 2007 were instantly likeable. This is not a bad thing or a good thing. He just changed his music style drastically in the recent years.
Hari haran ji is one of my fav since childhood along with SPB, udit ji and shanker mahadevan.....Whole Telugu states ppl are in awe of hariharan saab's sweet voice...he has sung many greatest songs with ARR, mani sharma, dsp, s a rajkumar n few...love you sirr..stay blessed🥰
I came to this video by chance and he mentions about hai rama song.. I have been listening to that song since last 3 days after a long long time.. hai rama is still fresh.. wow!! ARR's music is eternal!!
There are so many bucket list songs here. I heard him live in 2007 (the experience of listening to ay hairathe and tu hi re was almost religious). Plus the humility. When he speaks it almost feels like a fan speaking rather than a master.
During my college days I used to sing your songs sir…..I thought now a days there is no individuality in the voice because of digital recording….but after hearing your voice even in this digital recording I am amazed to see how exact it is….may be in this age the issue is with singers not putting the effort and practice. Thank you Sir.
OMG. When I first watched Roja. Mesmerizing music by AR. Still takes me back to that time...in an instant. Also the only song that made me stop and listen..when the credits were rolling at the end of the film. I also had the casette of Colonial Cousins. Loved it.
I had purchased the Colonial Cousins album released by Magnasound. Brilliant songs like Krishna, Sa Ni Dha Pa, Indian Rain. Both Leslie and Hari Haran sang. They don't make music albums like those anymore.
I am a huge ARR fan and been always finding ways to put into words what his music feels like but today is the day I realised why after what Hariharan said, his music is not in your face it's so subtle yet powerful and you don't know that you are getting addicted. I know there are many music directors out there creating music but they don't have the same feel like ARR and might fade away within a few years. ARR music still feel fresh after 30 odd years. Tell me someone else who could do this.❤❤❤
@TonyStark-mm6qy Ilayaraja's music is amazing but it sounds very old, that's the beauty of it. AR Rahman's music feels fresh like it released yesterday.
@@safamohideen8240 Even now Ilayaraja songs are listen more than Rahman songs, Ilayaraja songs seem to be more connecting and relatable to people than Rahman songs will ever be - Spotify, RUclips and other online platforms census doesn't show it coz Ilayaraja songs are mostly downloaded, copied to pandrive and then played !!!!!
This phenomenon only started after 2007. Most of his hit songs before 2007 were instantly likeable. This is neither a bad thing nor a good thing. He just changed his music style drastically in the recent years.
@@abusid4588 His sound engineer for over 20 years, H Sridhar , was my close batchmate's father. Unfortunately he passed away at a very young age :( H Sridar was the magician behind ARR's music!
@@ashwinoashwin Yes, sound engineer is a great asset too and H Sridhar is undoubtedly very gifted, which explains it. Even now ARR keeps changing sound engineers cause i believe he's still looking for another unique working engineer like H Sridhar whose mixing and mastering techniques is a bit ingenious and unorthodox.
If you had seen one Arr interview in Tamil, he said many musicians started to incorporate his style of music, therefore he intentionally left his old style of groove- catchy kinda songs. As hariharan said Arr employed strokes on a canvas. Tapestry of layers which ultimately ends with a vibrant colourful painting.
@@sumanshekar4777 Exactly! I'd this era of his music, he's mostly giving in to his experimental improv side where he's actually exploring all the different musical styles there is and trying to incorporate in it. And he himself said after 2000 he wanted to have this approach, even if it means he'll take a hit in popularity. Cause doing only groovy songs with a hook will also pigeonhole any artist too long run and he'll be repetitive. And I'm glad he's doing that and i also wish he does more independent studio albums where he can showcase his improv skills and love for jazz like he did in *Connections* album. *Mylapore Blues* still haunts me to this day(and I'm a jazz connoisseur). Ik he's doing an orchestral album with his Firadus Orchestra which will have 16 tracks in it and will release as singles throughout this year. So I'm intrigued about it.
Thank u Mr Ahmed ,I wish ur political establishment wud show us the same love and respect or failing that at least leave us alone and stop it cross border terrorism and focus on their own country
What he said at last was right arr songs are like slow poison not like other songs just trending for 2 to 3 months then feded arr songs are fresh even after years actually he changed the sound of Bollywood music
Hariharan Sir, how is it possible for you to look younger than you did in 1995? I was a big fan of your colonial cousins album and used to listen to it on CD Walkman or Discman as it was called.
Vida Karo from Chamkila was recently released and doesn't have lot of views in RUclips/YTMusic now but eventually this song willl grow on people and they will start to realize how good it is
I think most ppl misunderstood me. I am definitely not against improvisation....i like listening to Malkauns, bhairavi, darbari, shivaranjini etc in many different ways that it is sung. All bandishes are nice. But when it comes to film songs that have become cult songs....then they become monumental....something like Tajmahal or Eiffel tower or Tanjore temple.....i dont like people drawing those monuments differently. The artist cannot say its my creativity so I have added few floors or minars to TajMahal..... Take a bandish ....sing as you like. But i like people singing pal pal dil ke paas as kishoreda sang. New singers try remixes .....but they perish from memory in few weeks time. Again it is my personal view. I am definitely not saying, I am right. Its just my preference!
Rahmans old songs never used to be slow poison.... they were instant poison...the slow poison is just an excuse for his mediocre songs .....he needs to create the 90s brand of music now....
Exactly who can say Chaiyya Chaiyya Rangeela Re Barso Re Megha Muqabala Ye Haseen Waadiya Taal Se Taal Mila Tu Hi Re are slow poison They were instant poison that hits your heart at the very first second of any particular song of Rehman that I mentioned
@@AaushKumar-ob6wc seems like you have just heard 2% of his discography. He must have composed close to 800 tracks now, for nearly 150 films. I myself have only about 450 songs of his, in my playlist and is still surprised when a new album comes out to see what new experimentation he has done this time.
@AaushKumar-ob6wc I know, that's why I am telling you that most of his songs, even during the 90s, have been experimental and rejected by the masses. The masses celebrate only his selected discography like Roja, Dil se, Taal, Rangeela, etc.

It happens to all music directors....sooner or later they run out of original tunes....it happened with RD....LP...and now with AR.
Yes sir you said it exactly what I was thinking. I tried to listen arr's unlistened tracks from tamil and hindi, english... But it was really boring.. Hard to believe even if it was arr.. Sad 😢😢

AR rahman sucks in my opinion. Its not DIVINE like illayaraja. I think you need difefrenet brain. AR rahman all show no substance. Illyaraja no show but substance isai medayil still ring in my ear
AR Rehman's music is a reflection of his introvert nature. He takes you in his own world which takes time to enter.
Very nice comment
Super uncle
Great observation
👍
Beautiful explanation
"Yeh haseen vaadiyan..." actually transports you to serene & beautiful snow capped locales. What a song!
Qq11
The original version in Tamil sung by Unni Menon is also excellent.
By the way it was not sung by him - it was sung by SP Balasubramaniam
@@souravroadie123and, I wasn’t pleased that Hari Ji skipped mentioning SPB ji but only said Chitra ji did a great job..😚
Usha utup ji was true , hari haran never sings the song same way . He keeps changing the tune lol

Usha uthup is the sister of Asha and Lata ???? What are you saying ??? Please check your facts sir....that is usha mangeshkar not usha uthup
One of the best songs he sang for ARR is ‘Azhagiya Cinderella’… one of the top notch songs
Not to forget his Udaya Udaya song its also topnotch one
I am from Rajasthan can't understand the language but I love this song ❤️
Pookum Malarai from Udhaya !
damn.. i was thinking about this song..and then your comment..!!
Absolutely...All songs of Kangalal Kaidu Sei beautifully composed...But unfortunately it got unnoticed...
Great fan of ARR from 30 years but still when a new song comes I personally don't like it first but after 2-3 listening It gets into the soul❤️❤️
I know right,when Saathiya came I was like it's ok...but then a year later when I really heard the songs and my mind was completely blown.
Aye udi udi,chupke se,mangalaym still give me goosebumps to this day.
The thing about AR Rahman is most of his song, no one likes at first. But later it gets inside of us🥰🥰
This phenomenon only started after 2007. Most of his hit songs before 2007 were instantly likeable. This is not a bad thing or a good thing. He just changed his music style drastically in the recent years.
@@marshallislandsg5630It is a good change according to me
Correct, first it got inside me,, Now it's in my spleen, last year it was in my large intestine

AR Rehman creates music in his own unique way. Hariharan sings in a unique way. Both are fantastic

Anirudh and others was dummy pice😊

ARR + Hariharan = Melody, Magic, Evergreen Song
Hariharan is not only an incredible singer, his moves on the stage are out of the world.
I was listening ae hairathe Aashiqui at morning. And the interview appears to me
Great video. Hariharan revisited nearly all of his mega hits with ARR, including the underrated Dheemi Dheemi from Earth 1947.
Legend, only 90's kids will understand
90’s kids were newborn babies when Roja released.
@@SurajInd8990s kids means most of their growing up years In 90s; they might be born after 85s as well

Tu hi re = Hari sir❤️❤️❤️and I loved when you serve same dish (song)with different spices 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Your voice is heaven!
You should interview the Legendary KS Chitraji,the singer who has sung the maximum number of AR Rahman compositions...
My all time favorite Hariharan sir. Love from Jaffna
What a deadly combination ARR + Hariharan
Its a treat to listen to hari sir . . I would go on for hours . . Baton mein bhi sur hain . . Love you sir . .
More than Hariharan Sir's singing.. I always admired his looks and style... 😅... He was so funky back in the days
If had come for headline it's starts at 8:50
Oh man! So good to see hariharan! Gosh, this guy made my 90s!
♥ 😘 from Pakistan 🇵🇰 ♥ 😘 to our beloved India 🇮🇳 ♥ 😘
Thank u Mr Ahmed ,I wish ur political establishment wud show us the same love and respect or failing that at least leave us alone and stop it cross border terrorism and focus on their own country
❤❤❤
❤ from india
One of the best interviews i have come across so far.
I listen hanuman chalisa sung by hariharan ji 🙏🙌
Lovely! More such videos about Rahman please
Pachi nirame from alaipayuthe is my all time favourite from this combo
That song gives me goose bumps!
Udaya udaya, Thoda thoda pyaar hogaya, Yuhi chala, so many hits by hariji in a.r.rahman composition
Loved to see him after so many years.. vanakkam sir
Seriously feeling so bad. Hariharan has a huge hit list with Harris jayraj. Why no one is mentioning that?
What he said at last was right arr songs are like slow poison not like other songs just trending for 2 to 3 months then feded arr songs are fresh even after years actually he changed the sound of Bollywood music
The chorus crescendo of Tamizha tamizha - gives goosbumps everytime we listen to.. uff.. what a song..
Do an interview with him about his experiences with Maestro Illayaraja ji. It will be very interesting as well. Thank you
I'm very glad that he mentioned Chitraji ❤❤and Sujatha ji ❤❤ along with Latha ji and Ashaji.......True legend they are...................❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
His voice is as sweet and calm as he is 💙
He looks aged finally😢 usually he is forever young. Hope he is in good health
Yeah, I was thinking the same
Hariharan Sir, how is it possible for you to look younger than you did in 1995? I was a big fan of your colonial cousins album and used to listen to it on CD Walkman or Discman as it was called.
Power of dyeing the hair I may be but you are right
Hariharan sir ,your Hanuman Chalisa is Over 600 crores view on You Tube & innumerable plays on cassette & CD's. Heavenly voice❤
One of the underrated singers of music industry.
Thamizha thamizhais myf favourite sir❤really its heartbroken song😊
What a voice... !! Love you sir... from Hyderabad... ❤
Always love for hari ji ❤
Looks like Hariharan himself is a big fan of arr❤
ARR song is like exploring uncharted places so it will take time to grow on you and then gives whole new perspective
Beautiful interview. Now, I am going to listen to these songs.
❤ HARIHARAN SIR BEST SINGER ❤
Oh wait a min....that's Hariharan? What happened? He is totally unrecognizable.
Love from Karachi ❤
Yes. That silence. ❤
Ar rahman is like slow poison.
What a voice he can still sing..
Vida Karo from Chamkila was recently released and doesn't have lot of views in RUclips/YTMusic now but eventually this song willl grow on people and they will start to realize how good it is
Sir you are heaven. If there is one who really love what he does is you sir.
mere dushman mere bhai from border and mere pass hai tu from taal is my alltime fvt.
Hariharan and Rahaman ji is a living legend
Thanks for the English subtitle for what he references in Hindi 🙏
Rahman's first movie Roja is his best to date even after so many decades
Its unique but not necesarrily great always
1 alg awaj jisme sbko 1 alg duniya me le jane ki taqat hai..
Hariharan sir bollywood songs sunke bada huwa hu...
What a lovely interview 🎉
ARR..he brings new dimension for film music.
Rang de basanti is the hidden gems of ARR
After watching killer soup i liked tu hi re wonderfully plotted on series 🎉
A R Rahman God of Music..❤
Nonsense. Which god ? Allah ?
Hariharan sir
God's blessing u are
Rockstar was just wowww
Love you Sir You are my Favourite
*I have worked on one song with Hariharan Ji*
Song? Ur name?
When people pseudo named him Isai puyal (musical storm) i felt not right. his music is always felt so calming and melodic than any other composers.
Your Urdu is fabulous just like your Urdu song and ghazal
Atlast slow poison ku oru explanation
❤ what a voice
Udhaya Udhaya Is my favorite song. It is very tough to sing.
After jagjit singh hari is the best ghazal singer
More videos on Maestro Ilaiyaraaja pls
🤮🤮🤮
❤HARIHARAN❤
A R Rahman ❤❤
You are looking very young now 👍
I think most ppl misunderstood me. I am definitely not against improvisation....i like listening to Malkauns, bhairavi, darbari, shivaranjini etc in many different ways that it is sung. All bandishes are nice.
But when it comes to film songs that have become cult songs....then they become monumental....something like Tajmahal or Eiffel tower or Tanjore temple.....i dont like people drawing those monuments differently.
The artist cannot say its my creativity so I have added few floors or minars to TajMahal.....
Take a bandish ....sing as you like.
But i like people singing pal pal dil ke paas as kishoreda sang.
New singers try remixes .....but they perish from memory in few weeks time.
Again it is my personal view. I am definitely not saying, I am right. Its just my preference!
But the creator here the main singer has all the right to improvise but not to others
I am one of his craziest fan but I want to listen to his songs without looking at him.
Heaven of a difference!
ARRAHMANIYA
Now days it takes years to grow
Not for me
Great sense of humor

Loved it most..
