After kannadasan, its definitely Valee.

The beauty about Valee is that you can call him

After Kannadasan
After Vairamuthy
After Pa Vijay

The reason is he has done what Kannadasan has done (specially MGR thathuva paadalgal) he has done what Vairamuthu has done (pure poetic tamil), he has done what Pa Vijay has done (simple but yet meaningful tamil). More over he can do what he is best at, mix and match. If ARR and Surya is inviting him to write lyrics for New and Aa Aah, that simply shows what an unimaginable imagination he must have.

NJV,

Point taken.

Valee's strengths are - He can address all types of songs.

Thin line of difference between Kannadasan and Valee . KD had given thought provoking songs. Valee also had given through MGR.

Valee had variety.

Not sure about Vairamuthu. He is very poetic

Lets debate , lets explore.

Valee and Vairamuthu come close to the seat after Kannadasan.

Valee had been in the industry for more than 30 years now. Amazing as he has stood the test of times.

VM is also equally good in his own way.

But, I dont see anybody after these 2 guys worth noting

No doubt....it is Valee, Valee and Valee only. I am telling for somany reasons:

He is surviving for more than 44 years, without any 'sarukkal' (he entered in 1962. Karpagam (1963) and Padakotti (1964) brought him to bright light). No any lyric writer survive this much long period (including Kannadasan).

As 'njv' said, he is possessing the stuffness of Kannadasan, Vairamuthu, Pa.Vijay and others. He can write for MGR & Shivaji films and also for the present youngsters taste (example: Boys).

Once (about 1968) a press reporter interviewing Kannadasan and asked him "Which of your latest songs, you are hearing often with interest?". Kannadasan replied, "Yes I am hearing a latest song often, but it was not written by me. It was written by Valee. It is none other than "maadahavi pon mayilaal... thogai viriththaal" from Iru Malargal. How nice Valee has written". Kannadasan admired with open hearted.

vaali is uncomparable to any of these day singers including vairamuthu(who is most of the times recycles his own song or includes Poetic lines)

Valee has high sense of humour.

Once one press man asked him

Mettuketha paatu or paatuketha mettu

Valee promptly said - DHUDUKETHA PAATU !!!

Thats valee for you !!!

"After Kannadasan Who ??"

definitely saidapeta shankaru....enna thathuvama pozhiyuvaru theriyuma????shuld i call him into this discussion so that he can display his prowess????

hey jokes apart...even i'll go for valee......wat vairamuthu struggles to convey valee conveys it with ease......and he seems to grow younger with age.......listen to maro maro(boys).....gr8 man...just like javed saab in Hindi........

**S.Balaji** · 22nd July 2005, 03:06 PM

Valee has multiple faces - he can write love songs, sentimental songs, kolgai parappu songs for MGR, songs like Raja kayya vecha also etc etc

VM is somewhat serious character and a core subject oriented guy.
