Rahman..overhyped?

Well south indian film industry can proudly boast of having some of the greatest Composers in the country and world....u want some names??here i go then...Ghantasala,K.V.Mahadevan,M.S.Vishwanathan,Salu Rajeshwar Rao,Chakravarthy,Ilayaraaja,A.R.Rahman..etc....well the people doin the rounds as of now are the great Ilayaraaja and A.R.Rahman.Well Rahaman is more popular in the country due to his recent victory at the oscars...i think thats a great achievement!but the question was did he deserve it for slumdog??i mean i personally heard greater works than that...and i think i heard better works of his..i dont know if i can say they cud win the oscars but definitely not this work of his!and these days every work of his gets a better rating than it deserves.. i think hes too over hyped..i agree hes a great talent and i personally think some of his works are brilliant!!but for me hes a person who changed the music industry completely!for good or bad i do not know...gone are dose days of live recording...its more of electronic music and computerised work..i guess the computer works more than the composer these days...no quality music at all...not even from this man Rahman though i still dont no how he manages to get good revies for his music...i have nothin against him and i think hes a great talent...but i feel his knowledge is limited...just western music and again in that i dont rememeber him doin all the genres in western music...and hes constantly hailed India's best composer...i rally dont like it when i hear dat man!coz i know der is sum1 who i know is worldclass and his knowledge is unmappable!!i hope u know who im speakin about..its none other than Isaignani Ilayaraaja...for us musicians hes god!hes one who tried all genres of western and has composed classical,hindustani,folk music too...well sad that none of works got an oscar like Rahma...but there are things i like Rahman for...his discipline,humbleness inspite of all his success,his hardworking nature, his motive to spread only love..he has this great power to spread love!
Well if a Rahman work is in public it gets a good review even though its bad..i think many a times hes hyped a lot more than he should be...i dont know y but i can remember him only for the reason for introducing electronic music and making it more digital..it would have happeend anyways but he made it happen a lot more sooner....and one more thing people keep sayin that this man will beat Raaja sir...with due repsect to Rahman and his admirers i dont think theyl ever be a day when hes gonna eclipse the Maestro in terms of talent or his songs!
comin to his music i think his work is ordinary with good tunes...his bass work is average..he was good in Roja and all his previous works..he hasnt shown any ability to orchestrate..and his tunes are playable easily(this might not matter for general public but musicians like it when its challenging)...his assets are great tunes and himself!
but being the person he his i still repsect him a lot and many a times i was truely inspired by him and was in awe of him!i wish him luck for his future and i only hope he gets back a few good old things of music recording..
