When was the last time you got caught copying..? Once in our lives knowingly or unknowingly we tend to copy others. Copying is a creativity killer in places like music industry . Copy cat music directors have to be put to shame before law and people. Recently i heard a copy cat song – “unakena naan..” by vijay antony in kadhalil vizhundhen tamil movie that made my blood boil like lava. These are exactly the kind of things that keep me away from listening to tamil music. Lack of orginality and greed to get famous drives such artists to fame. Should we allow them.? is in our hands!
Imagine a lazy student and a brilliant one appearing at an exam. The brilliant guy just thinks creatively to answer the questions but the dumb guy peaks at the brilliant guy’s answer and writes down all the answers when the inviligilator comes back after a coffee he looks at the dumb guy’s paper first and gets impressed. If the tamil music lovers want to “see” music and shell themselves from the rest of the world.. well… thats all that can be done. Anyone can play existing music and plugin their own lyrics but it takes creativity and innovation that makes a music director . If vijay antony can’t deliver that.. he is probably not fit to be one..
This blog may sound outragious but the last thing i want is one crack MD copying a song i love and make it sound even worse… Someone should put him out of his misery please.!!

Actually the unakena naan song from kadhalil vilundein is not done by vijay antony. Its done by the director of the movie named prakash. you can even search for that.
I dont think copying music is not that. may be we should not give credit to the composer when the song is copied. But on the audience point of view, they get to hear good and gread composition from other language. Its better than hearing crappy compositions of such composers.

I may not agree with you. Vijay antony was the “sound track” composer.Have you ever heard Rihanna’s unfaithful? if not just take your time off and listen to http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=v_4-zRVFLnY
Her voice is so sexy and the song has emotional touch on me. The unakenna naan song just makes me puke whenever i am “exposed” to it.
Anyway, i think these kinda things are not new to tamil music industry….
If people are music lovers they should enjoy real music. The originality of tamil music industry lies in not supporting such copy cats.
