inspirations?

Recently i was watching a children"s singing competition on telly and was wondering on just how talented today"s kids are..Are..They are up to every trick in the trade...Keeping to sruthi and beat much better than some of the judges who are sitting there,...they are singing most difficult of the numbers...i mean where originally the records have been made with umpteen rehearsals and track mixings and what not...

But what i want to mention here is about one number from the movie Aadavalla maatalaku arthale verule----.We saw the film, and at that time i was vaguely aware --(you,see, i am not one of those multi talented whizz kids who can do thousand things at a time..when i am told to watch a movie, i watch it)-- that the number EVAINDI EE VELA?, and background score was real good..though the picturisation did not look too hot...When i saw a boy singing it on the show,some how it caught on me and i realised it was a very melodious number and also ..reminding me faintly of an earlier number i could not quite place ...

These days more and more numbers are sounding just like this and i heard music directors are calling them as "inspired music---obviously...No..i am not insinuating anything..After all there are only 72 melakartha ragas and seven notes..On the other hand , i really appreciate the novelty these people bring to the older versions and developing on the tunes...I thought the "voni kattina deepavali"from Pandem kodi sounded almost similar to the Mannade"s Dil ka bhawar kare pukar..pyar ka raag suno re"...So also were Sivaji"s "sahana",.."mayilarage" from "ah AAh...and premanna nuvve from Manmadhudu...I kept wondering where i have heard them..

O.k...Well...and ...good..May be the human race has reached a saturation point in creativity in music and there is now nothing more to be invented ..I am not complaining..for i did like the orchestration they weave around the original tunes...and that is no less a mean task..
