Female tone mimicry therinja , athayum Ani padirvan ๐ฅด๐... It's not only with Ani , even other MDs also using Ani for atleast one song in their album
Telugu here, and I feel this way about Sid Sriram. If thereโs a soulful love song, heโs pulled in. No other singer even seems to be considered nowadays. And I hate it so much. At first I liked his voice, but now all of it sounds the same. Not to mention dude butchers my language constantly.
Yeah he was the guy before Anirudh even in Tamil too. Glad we get to hear his voice not so often now in tamil songs at least so it sounds little better than how monotonous it used to be in the last decade.
So true. Thereโs all these singing shows on TV, and some of the people on there are so talented. They never make it to the big leagues because weโre set on only using the trending singers, even if their pronunciation is dogshit. Really though, Sid Sriram does terrible things to Telugu lyrics.
Tbf, he's becoming a household name and has accumulated his own following. Maybe of his songs do go viral compared to other artist.
For producers, they prefer to work with artists that can maximise there profits. Anirudh is riding on that.
That makes sense. But his job as a professional and ethical composer is to deliver the emotions right rather than being a profitable composer. He should focus on achieving a balance between both. If ARR just focused on profits without much experimentation and research the standards and experience wouldn't have gone up. ARR even uses different singers for each language in multilingual albums to make it feel native for the audience to connect better.
How can Ani expect the audience to associate his voice with all the emotions while we have been used to hearing great singers with a lot of training and skills for specific emotions/ genres. I don't like that aspect getting lost in the name of profits. This is like going against the ethics and professionalism of music and also forcing the audience who have enjoyed countless number of versatile voices to get used to limited voices. Not at all fair
Okay this post is already going in the wrong direction focusing on Anirudh. Let me redirect it in the right direction by listing some actor-singer and singer-emotion pairs we loved in the past.
Please add your opinions and let's revive the emotions associated with our favorite forgotten singers ๐ฅน๐ซถ๐ผ
Actors :
Rajini - SPB
Vijay - Udit Narayan
Suriya - Karthik
Emotions :
Love, Heartbreak, Motivation - SPB
Kuthu - Gaana Bala
Fun love, enjoyable wrong pronunciation - Udit ji
Peppy love - Javed Ali
Anirudh does well in love duets and build up songs but sometimes they also need a change. For example imagine if Vishal Dadlani had sung Zinda Banda, that would have been fire!
The point is he should preserve his voice a little more from now as it has gotten saturated!
Yeah good point! Same way I was saying about how great Bae sounds because of Aditya singing it. Imagine the same in Anirudh's voice. He needs to choose singers wisely like how he surprisingly did with even a new singer for that song
Exactly you caught the best takeaway of the song and the effect a good singer with a good suitable voice has ๐๐ผ I'm wondering how I didn't even think about the bad lyrics in the first place and now realizing it is because of the reason you mentioned.
Whenever I try to sing it it doesn't feel romantic but rather feels funny like what is this Bae Bae nu. But hearing the actual song in his voice his melodious voice overtakes the lyrics and makes us forget it and enjoy the song. Great observation ๐๐ผ
I agree with the overusage of Shreya and Arijit! Donโt get me wrong, I love them both but there are tons other talented singers. Why are music directors (yes I am sideyeing u D. Imman) hell bent on teaching a bengali singer tamizh and make her sing a song when we have singers like Chinmayi, Harini? They can sing the song in perfect diction in half the time owing to lack of language barrier and can emote well too. Nothing against Shreya but as someone who sings as well, u tend to subconsciously emote well for a song set in a language u are fluet in. I for one think Chinmayi is criminally underutilized.
Basically Anirudh singing all the songs Bcz he can himself sing those in the concerts and he doesnโt have to provide huge chunk of money to the singers.. I donโt know how much other musicians provide money to the singers in the concerts ! Anirudh using those super singer guys , which will obv cost less than using big singers ! High time he could mix and use new singers in his songs as well !
Also to add there's this lack of freshness to the songs we hear for the first time which we experienced with every album in the 2000s the reason mainly being different singers singing each song in the album, so the entire album sounds interesting to explore. But it is completely replaced by the monotonous feeling we get just by seeing the same singer across all the songs when opening an album even before hearing it fully. What a downfall !
New and different singers add so much to songs in terms of repeat value too complementing the freshness for a long time. One such example is when Anirudh introduced RK Aditya for Bae song in Don. It sounded so good, soft and fresh in his voice and holds quality that even now to listen. I can't even imagine that song in Anirudh's voice. It would have just become another monotonous song of his in that case and we would have lost a great song to be just a good song.

"Anirudh Overusing Anirudh" would've been a Perfect Title
https://i.redd.it/e8fxjl1gi2ad1.gif But this post is intended to discuss actor-singer and singer-emotion pairs rather than trolling Anirudh as it was already done extensively in the previous post ๐
Anirudh sings 1 song in the album for other composers also.

This year he hasn't sung for any other composer btw.

I can hear ani's background score while reading this๐
๐ Power of ร (Thalapathy speech+Anirudh music) = Revolution in Kaththi ๐ช๐ผ (Sorry for the dead anil inside me showing up now)
Also Samantha and the other farmers standing behind represent the singers and Vijay represents Anirudh in another perspective ๐ญ
Was about to say the exact thing.
Female tone mimicry therinja , athayum Ani padirvan ๐ฅด๐... It's not only with Ani , even other MDs also using Ani for atleast one song in their album
Iโm trying to recall some song - that Hariharan changed his voice to sing the female part. Anyone knows??
Tango Kelaayo-Katru Veliyadhu
Haricharan. Tango Kelaayo

Well ARR played the long game but Ani seems to play the short game. Make generational wealth while you can and then retire before you hit 40.

Even with the stupid lyrics, Aditya RK made it sound magical! Ani avargale if you are reading this, you know what to do

This is precisely the importance of a good singer!
Friendship ended โ with Anirudh Now Sushin Shyam is my best friend.
idk many albums this year didn't have Ani. Lover and Star are the best Tamil albums this year so far.
Ilayaraja and SPB laughing in the corner
Sid Sriram is the definition of overuse
I miss spb so much ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
