Rahman Brings CWG Ceremony to Electrifying Climax
New Delhi, Oct 3 – India’s music sensation A.R. Rahman belted out ‘Jiyo Utho Badho Jeeto’ to bring the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony Sunday to an electrifying climax, as the crowds echoed him in equal measure.

Rahman, clad in a white bandhgala jacket, black pants and white shoes, performed the Commonwealth Games 2010 anthem with hundreds of dancers dressed in traditional Indian costumes.

As the spectators joined him, much of the flak the Oscar winning composer has faced for the Rs.500 million Commonwealth Games 2010 anthem seemed to have been washed away.

Fireworks went off and then ‘Jai ho’, Rahman’s Oscar winning song, filled the air. The chant at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, many would swear, was magical.

What the world feels about CWG theme song...

“What’s unique are the dance shows early evening. And the music,” gushes South African boxer Lebogang Kilane. Contrary to the thumbs-down given to A R Rahman’s CWG special song in India, many foreign athletes seem to sway to the slow strains of Oh Yaaro, Yeh India which plays on a loop in the open-air amphitheatre.

“I’ll associate my time in the village with this music, always. It has a very international feel—even some African riffs—and grows on you slowly,” says Bikile, another South African athlete. “It’s soothing but groovy at the same time,” says an English squash player, who prefers to sit and listen to the music all evening.

AR Rahman had the 60,000 strong crowd at the glitzy Commonwealth Games opening ceremony up and dancing here today with his rendition of the theme song 'Jeeyo Utho Badho Jeeto', which had received brickbats when it was first unveiled in August.

The Academy award winning musician had promised to go beyond Shakira's soccer anthem 'Waka Waka' with the composition and he delivered a powerful performance, backed by a spectacle of dancers.
Dressed casually in a white jacket-and-denims combination, the hitmaker was welcomed by loud cheering as he stepped on to the stage to perform the theme song.

True! I had the previlege of watching ARR's rendition during CWG opening ceremony! He hit back with vengeance (not in literal sense).

[baba88]

I just read that ARR first demanded 15 crores for the CWG theme !! The people are critizing him even for the 5 crores fee so what would have happened if he had received 15 crores ???

Guys

As I had written earlier, I am in love with this song!
It rocks!

But again, I am an ARR fan - so its not surprising.

I am very proud and happy to see the kind of reception the song is receiving now, from all quarters. The song has an international appeal.

How correct the Mr India Director (forget his name) is? ARR song grows on you. If Subhash Ghai could reject a Jai Ho, then what else can you say?

ARR Rocks! I hope Sachin does too and wins the test for us!
