If voices can cast spells

Disclaimer: This is not a review of the album, "Robot" Recently been hearing to " Irumbile or idhayam... ". D'you think Rajni(Dunno why they changed his spelling, silly!) can do justice to ARR's voice? No ways. Surya tried bigtime in matching himself to the voice in "New York Nagaram" but in vain. And let me not mention the ULTIMATE DISGRACE to Rahman's voice caused by S J Surya in " Arrarai Kodi pergalil oruvan" (originally written for Rajini)... such a meaningful song it was, but wasted on that pompous fool. Coming back to Irumbile, his voice just is of killer kind especially, "Saadhal illa saabam vangi man mele vandhene, Theinmaname illa, kadhal kondu vanthene" Robot's lyrics' got too many jargons. No one's to be blamed, even washermen started using such terms. And the next killer voice is of KJ Yesudas. I've heard his songs right from childhood. Beautiful soothing voice. Perfectl
