Excellant,Electrifying musical concert
by Rajponn on 4/3/18Eagle Bank Arena - FairfaxIlayaraja is a Musical Genius He has composed more than 6500 songs and provided film scores for more than 1000 movies. Unlike some so called composers Ilayaraja writes his own Original Music. Ilayaraja doesn't copy others work. Anyway I went to see his concert in Connecticut and I was not satisfied and I wanted more So I went to see his concert in Virginia. The songs he played were different. There were all mesmerizing beautiful songs. He played for 4 hrs. How can you expect anyone to play continuously for more than 4 hrs. Of course he can't satisfy all of the audience. By the way he can speak English very fluently, I would say he can speak English better than the one who complained over this forum. He spoke in Tamil and Telugu because most of his fans are Both Tamils and Telugu speaking people. Trust me Ilayaraja writes his own Original Music unlike others ( for instance AR and GV Prakash) Ilayaraja should have been awarded Oscar and Emmy long time ago , The only Reason AR got award because Hollywood always gives Oscar for the movies which don't t do well at the Box office, (in theaters). So that's the only reason AR. Rahman got award. However Ilayaraja Got award in heaven and from everyone all over the world . He won everyone's heart and soul. There is no way he could have satisfied everyone at the concert. I would go and watch his concert every year from now onwards. He is a musical genius. Ilayaraja also can sing very well and when he sings people can listen to him and they feel peace in their heart and mind. Unlike other so called composers when they start singing I have to turn off the TV (AR).Give me a break. I would advice some musicians Please don't open your mouth unless you can sing, for (AR Rahman), May be I spent more than $1200.00 to see his both concerts but every penny I spent was worth it. I would do it every year from now onwards.
