Sangeetha Kalanidhi 2017

Post by melam72 »

The forums have been too quiet of late, so I decided to start this thread.

Something tells me TMK is going to get it this year.

Post your thoughts below!

Kolanidhi ah ? Her renditions are bhava filled . What aspect of her music do you find to be irritating ?

She lacks azhuththam, her music is superficial, and she doesn't take any effort to select rare pieces. Her USP is that she was an Oscar nominee.

She will get Sangeetha Kalanidhi, don't worry, because the Music Academy benefits. But, to me, she is just a modern day Mani Krishaswamy.

The other day, Maduraimini asked me: the SK speculations haven't started yet? Said: it isn't June yet. I was fooled. Melam 'spring's (it) in...

Sachi,
There we go...:)

Ravi,
'Modern day Mani Krishnaswami'? Your take now...;)

Melam72,
Admittedly, you want to stir the pot, enjoy the delectable aromas of discussion, and have your say. So this thread is going to flourish 👍

But don't sabotage the thread so early by blacklisting musicians. It's your opinion about Bombay Jayashri. Period. You get only one vote. Not veto power 😀

Have you watched this movie? I strongly recommend it, for many aesthetic reasons:

Is there a pestilence upon this thread already? (nothing personal: saw the word here today, it is one one of my favourites.)

Necessarily, there must be some controversy and a little back biting in our annual SK thread. But on page one!

Hey Ho, Perhaps the mods should just rename last year's thread. After all, we are going to come out with the same names as we did before. And the same objections.

Here's my 'vote:' Again: Ravikiran. :D

If we all just stick to one name, some of us are bound to be right as the years go past!

Nicholas,
You are a pet in saying so (mere play on words, pardon me). Oh, pestilence is an effective word--has to be used sparingly, of course :)

Yes, R A V I K I R A N, I am hoping too...

For a pestilence, I can, perhaps, get something from the apothecary. But a plague? :shock:

Arasi, what about our mutual friend (and, indeed, one-time forum member) Neela Ramgopal? but... I think she might have one of those other titles that MA uses to let themselves off the should-have-been-SK hook

From what I can gather, the polls read as follows:

1) RAVIKIRAN is the absolute leader with 5 votes, with other nominees being:

- Pantula Rama
- Sowmya
- VV Subramaniam
- Vikku
- Neela Ramagopal
- OS Thiagarajan
- Dr TS Sathyavathi
- TM Krishna
Add to this list with votes and your comments!

Haha... It is not often that is said of a fifty-year old!

But true.

I support giving the Marketing Kalanidhi to Aruna. Seriously, actually: she certainly gets people into concert halls.

(I did say that some back biting was inevitable in this thread, and I am not innocent of it!)

Sri NSG is a highly deserving candidate . He gives me the impression of a modern day Narada or Tyagaraja while he sings , I don't mean to say anything wrong about them.

'People', eh?

I refuse to call them people. They are bovines, of the highest class, who chew on the Cowherdess' Naughty Boy song or her Epic Rap.

No, not people.

Insult is all about perception. If you choose to be insulted, or see insult where there is none, then it your fault, not mine.

You missed out one group - the porcine, like moi.

We porcine roam around, looking for true Karnataka sangeetham in Tamil Nadu (pun intended, and existent) and elsewhere.

We are akin to Snowball from Orwell's Animal Farm, where we try to use logic to separate truth from jabberwocky.

People may call us trolls, but it hits us not. We shall continue, whether we are fed or not, for that is the porcine path.

*oink* :lol:

It is tradition in the annual SK thread. So who should dare alter it?

As an off-topic aside, it should be pointed out that, in the current political climate, bovine is where it's at. Humans are nothing on the scale. :twisted:

Seriously about insulting artists: I don't think we should be vindictive or hurtful. But if they are artists, then criticism of their art, by both the informed and the uninformed, is part of the deal and they must be able to deal with it.

Personally, I would rather keep quiet about those I do not like and talk about those that I do. But I don't mind being blunt about the likes of Boy Racer or the Kickboxer, because I find their antics, whether of voice face or arms, simply inappropriate and unacceptable. That, to me, is not where this music should be going and people should say so. But I bet there's at least one future SK in the couple that I mention. :evil:

And... just in the past couple of weeks, I have found out what Harimau had against abhangs. And subscribed to it. :lol:

Here we go round the Kalanidhi bush--an annual ritual, a tad early this year, it seems...
Porcines smelling out (or spreading??) trouble rather than truffle, folks :(

Now, along with varAhA, comes into view a hippotomus rolling a pea.
Ah, our annual celebration in the hallowed hall of CM :roll:

Right..I have been seeing the thread title but did not have time to get into it but figured/feared that this tradition may rear its head going from good satire/putdowns to ugly muckraking. Keep it with in the bounds of good taste, folks.

The trouble is that rasikas.org swings the pendulum between being overly offensive and overly prissy.

Let us be neither. But let us be blunt.
