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.

The finale to the ceremony was the official Commonwealth Games theme song, Jiyo Utho Bado Jeeto from A.R. Rahman, a pulsating and catchy tune that many will remember.

The ceremony was heralded in a traditional Indian way by the blowing of a conch or 'shankh', considered auspicious for the start of any event. The highlight was , of course, the live theme song performance by Oscar winner A.R. Rahman

The Delhi Games’ theme song, Jiyo Utho Bado Jeeto (Live, Rise, Ascend, Win), composed by music maestro A R Rahman’s was the other highlight under the breathtaking view of the stadium under thousands of fireworks as it was to hint out of the upcoming fireworks in the sports arena during the next ten days.

As fireworks lit up the night sky, A R Rahman brought the curtains down on an evening of high emotion with his rendering of the Games anthem as well as his famous “Jai Ho” that raised the energy levels once again. It is now up to the athletes to keep that energy going, with action proper all set to begin on Monday.

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).
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!

My parents, who are in their 60s and staunch music lovers and come from the traditional side of India in terms of taste and exposure, are completely in love with ARR and his music now. For many years, they liked his music, but even they too for some time thought his music was too rhythmic and repetitive. But now...completely changed. They can't stop talking about him and his music, esp. knowing how simple and humble he is without any trace of ego or arrogance. That is what sold them to ARR finally...his personal attributes, and hearing some more evergreen tunes from him in the past few years and just being more exposed to ARR's music in general. Here is what my father said in response to that letter from the editor piece from filmfare recently:
"Short and sweet but loaded review of a simple, humble, unassuming living legend, a musician standing tall among a crowd of music makers. An artist who is original, creative, bold and revolutionary in introducing new patterns of blending eastern and western melody and rhythm, that has resulted in so many hits becoming evergreen unlike most popular songs with a short lifespan."
That's my father's take on ARR. I liked this line the most from what he wrote:
"a musician standing tall among a crowd of music makers"
That just completely struck me.
hope you have not read it in the air. links pls.Quote:

'I want to compose a song with Rahman’ -Flo Rida
American rapper and singer Flo Rida, of chartbuster You spin my head right round fame, briefly toured India last week. And post his performances in Bangalore and Pune, the hip-hop star, who was brought down here by Morph Entertainment, only has good things to say about the country.
“I’m in awe of Indian culture,” he says. “India is the place where music originated so it’s seen in a big way by the entertainment industry in the US. It’s got such a rich culture and varied genres of music. Unfortunately, I couldn’t go around much this time but I definitely want to come back again for long.”
The singer is cued into Bollywood as well and says he’d love to team up on a song like the Snoop Dogg-Pritam number Singh is kinng. “I’ve been exposed to Bollywood music and believe it has its own charm and melody,” he says. “I would love to meet and compose a song or two with someone like (AR) Rahman.”
And as Bollywood gets ready for a remake of the Hollywood blockbuster, The Hangover, that featured Flo Rida’s Right round, Flo Rida says he’d be “honoured” to be a part of it: “I would consider it a huge compliment if my music is a part of the movie or any other Bollywood movie for that matter.”
Talking about the song that made him a global superstar, Flo Rida says he got the idea of sampling Dead or Alive’s single You spin me round for his song Right round through his sister first. “I finally recorded it because I wanted to show listeners my musical growth by broadening my horizons, since ROOTS was my second album,” he reveals.
“I think the song managed to influence people internationally because whenever I compose, I think of people all over the world rather than just a local audience.”

True..but the song not worth it,to be honest...Heard that he took 6 months to compose this reasonably "OK" song.Quote:

"ARR is the pride of every Indian. By making India's music as his music, foreigners and "progressive music lovers" have changed him forever. From the failure of CWG song, we can note that ARR has forgotten his childhood and his father RK Sekar.
When Rahman's Jai Ho won Oscar, every Indian felt proud. When he accepted the award in the Oscar stage, he didn't mention a single word about his music guru (his father). He didn't mention one word about Ilaiyraja, India's great musical genius, who had given him the opportunity to play violin when he (ARR) was struggling with poverty. Could Rahman have forgotten to say that Indian culture or music had taken him to Oscars? Never.
It is here that we have to know that Jai Ho has been lifted from Indian music. M.P. Sankunni Nair's Chatram & Chamaram book explains to us that Jai Ho is not Rahman's creation. It is a recreation from Samaveda, the basic block of Indian music. Samaveda is the oldest music 'Sahitya' of India.
In short, Samam means to make happy. With Jai Ho song, Rahman has made both Indians and foreigners happy. Everybody thought whatever Rahman touches will turn to gold.
The music of Ilaiyaraja, which had become stale with ARR's growth, is achieving new lease of life through the veins of South Indians.
The idol of ARR is breaking. The 2010 CWG is not giving pleasant moments to India. .....
The 2010 CWG has shown the true colors of AR Rahman, the praised artist. It is no surprise if patriotic Indians are not shocked upon hearing that he has charged around 6 crores for "Jeeyo Utho" song. We have to remember that Pandit Ravi Shankar, who composed the music for the previous CWG held in India, had not charged even a single penny.
Rahman is forgetting the path he has travelled. Music is 'Sadhana' and 'Aradahana'. It is not fitting of a eminent artist to turn music into an 'item for sale'. He could have earned more fame with the CWG title song than that single Oscar. It would have been a 'Guru Dakshina' to the nation.
It is here that we remember Resul Pookutty, the world artist. No Indian will forget his words during the Oscar awards ceremony.
"This is a Sivarathri gift to my nation" - who else, but Resul Pookutty has got the humility and courage to utter these words. That was the moment where Rahman lost. Now he has shown his true colors through the commonwealth games. The failure of CWG theme song shows that time has punished Rahman for not dedicating his Oscar to his Guru (Ilairaja) or his father (RK Sekar).
Resul Pookutty again wins when we see his response to him winning the National award. Resul has again become a role model by writing a letter to Central Information Ministry to consider Amrit Pritham for the award, as Amrit had worked with him for sound mixing. To share the award that he is getting, Resul is epitome of humility.
Resul Pookutty is providing new direction to young generation. ...<some words of praise for Resul>...
