Best songs of 2006.

Its time to take stock on songs relesed this year. Lets go by the traditional count-down with 10 songs of 2006. This is based on my intrests and my opinion not biased on any movie/music director.

Off late iam not in touch with the latest releases,i catchin-up though, so movies released after Mid-Nov, I'm sorry.

Ok Start musik...


10. Kanavae kalaikirathe.. ...(ALAGAI IRUKIRAI BAYAMAI IRUKIRADHU - AIBU)



Yuvan shankar, he is one of the most succesfull Music.director now. If you see the number of albums this year by him its huge.But neither the quality nor the standard is compramised. Esply his BGM in Pudhupettai is excellent and well acclaimed.

Off late he has become a good singer too. Most of the songs in this movie are sung by him, and esply this song is too good. Simply superb lines from N.Muthukumar.

9. Paartha Mudhal Naalae ....(VETAYADU VILAYADU)



Harris Jeyaraj + Gautham, a succesfull combination again rocked with VV.
Nice song,I dont know the lyricist. A perfect melody from Bombay Jeyashree again. Cinemotagraphy was simple and good. Personally I dont like kamal running behind girls and romancing...ayoo...Kamal, hez not a artisit to make any such normal hero...which anybody can do,I dont want my-kamal to do these roles. Directors, pls think, are we not wasting Kamal, the same mistake we committed on the legend, Shivaji Ganesan ???

8. Idam Porul Parthu .. (CHITTIRAM PESUTHADI)



This movie is a surprise gift for the tamil cinema.Though the "Vaala Meenu" song rocked all the nuke and corner of TN, this is a beautiful song, with a nice choreogrpahy. Iam not sure about other albums of this music director. His music is fresh, re-recording is ok. A good sign of fresh blood in music. Need to wait and watch his other albums.

7. Kannai vittu kannimaikal, vidai kettal.. (PATTIAL)
6. Pooga pooga vanam therikirathe ... (PATTIAL)



This movie, though itis not a super-duber hit, it made a decent box-office. Songs & BGM from Yuvan is one of THE Factor. Well as I already mentioned about Yuvan, this song he personally voiced and , I become a fan of his voice !!! I guess yuvan controls the pulse & taste of tamil-songs-community !!

"Poga poga ..." song is a nice peppy number and the thme is just simple and good !!
"Namma kaatula.." from Raja's voice is a surprise gift in this movie. Overall its a good musical album !!

5. Newyork nagaram...(JILLENDRU ORU KADHAL)



There was a huge fight in an orkut community, that this is the best song of the year !! And the reason could be obviously ARR.
In my view, Yes this is a just a good song, as good as any other numbers , but not to the extent of saying it is the best.
But I like Singer-ARR, more than the Music-Director-ARR in this song. Had the same song been presented by any other music director, would that reached this level ?? I dont think so..it is just ARR factor which pullled this song.

Not because I'm not a great fan of ARR.If you really want to appraise ARR, then listen to RangDeBasanti !! You will realise who ARR really is, not in Jullendru oru kathal. He just rocked in BGM & Songs !!


4. Unparrvayil paithiam aanean...(SOMETHING SOMETHING)


Devisri prasad, though not a full time-tamil-music-director, hez my favourite. Be it a kuthu song (Sachien, Vadi Vadi..) be it a melody (Aaru, Sachien) and BGM too (all movies), Hez different and good. Though he hasn't noted well as compared to Yuvan & Harris , these time, iam always looking forward for his albums !!!

This song is a nice melody, I like the way the song starts and slowly the way it gains tempo in the middle !! Also the flute interlude inbetween, simply superb !!!!


3. Manjal veyil malayaile .. (VETAYADU VILAYADU)


Harris Jeyaraj at his best !!!
Vijay+Hari, romantic-lyrics,nice beats, beautiful choroegraphy !! No wonder why this song here.
Iam not sure about the lyricist (N.Muthukumar??). But he needs a special mention here, pure tamil words (tough these days !!!).

Esply Harris beats @ lines "vannangal vannangal attra valiyil valiyil sila ... nadukkiral-- nadukkiral "
is excellent !!!

2. Oodivaa kathalee, siru kaatrai thalai koothavaa..(AIBI)
This is not biased decission. You will understand if you listen to this song from N.MuthuKumar and vocal from Yuvan, along with the picturization - Excellent !! I donno y this song was not part of the main-stream, it will come as a bit-song, may not exactly bit, may be for 3.5 mts.

This is the reason y I like Yuvan + N.Muthukumar combination.

1. Sudum nilavu, sudatha suriyan...(THAMBI)



Viaramuthu + Vidyasagar + UnniKrishnan
Needless to mention about Vairamuthu, I donno how old he is now, but see the songs.
"Sudum nilavu, sudatha surian..." even a person who dont know about the cast, will tell, for sure, this Must be from Vairamuthu.

A trademark-vairamuthu lines !!

Unnikrishnan, Iam not sure, if hez singing songs these days, but this is to be show-cased !!
Best part of this song is, music, never tries to dominate the lyrics,a much-needed one for Vairamuthu's songs, always (which was alwayst he case of IR's and never happens in ARR's) !! After Chandramuki, Vidyasagar come back strongly with Thambi !!!
