Just wanted to point out these two are the examples of being revered by the masses. Vairamuthu was good initially, even now he comes out with good numbers now and then, but he is more into self promotion now a days, thinking too much of himself. Kannadasan was a class apart, I agree.Chenthilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11865750827704844908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5057873.post-1141834180943132722006-03-08T21:39:00.000+05:302006-03-08T21:39:00.000+05:30Chenthil, I strongly object to your talking of Kan...Chenthil, I strongly object to your talking of Kannadasan and Vairamuthu in the same breath. The only similarity was that both were lyricists. Kannadasan was and is head and shoulders above the rest. Probably Pattukottai Kalyanasundaranar was the one who came closest to Kannadasan. The rest were... let's leave them alone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5057873.post-1141824308427198812006-03-08T18:55:00.000+05:302006-03-08T18:55:00.000+05:30Krithika, thanks.
