Brilliantly said, Gayathri. Personally I don't understand this super analysis of every number of ARR like a statistician. How creative can he get on dance numbers and still sound so different from the rest of the folk and that too every single time. And what can the poor guy do about ensuring it becomes a hit every time, as if he controls the destiny of the song? Folks, give him a break.

Enjoy it, dance with it and chill out! What is the whole point of harping on its 'brilliance' or the lack of it, for that matter? Coming to think of it, does all ARR's numbers have to be brilliant and different? If you want brilliant and amazing songs, ARR has given that on Bhoola Thuje, Fiqrana and Rehnuma. Savour them! Chiggy Wiggy is meant to be fun, and entertaining. So treat it as such. If we are going to scrutinize every single song in this way, I'm afraid that very soon, we are just going to forget how to enjoy songs for the way it is! --- On Wed, 9/30/09, V S Rawat <[email protected]> wrote: From: V S Rawat <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [arr] Why Chiggy Wiggy is not a hit ?? - Read on my opinion To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, September 30, 2009, 10:38 AM On 9/30/2009 8:54 PM India Time, _ichord_ wrote: > Chiggy Wiggy a failure?

Let's remember that popularity of a song is not really related with the brilliance of the song. Or at best, popularity is inversely proportional with brilliance. - I had never heard of Indian Airplay list before its mention in this list yesterday. - Radio Mirchi is a private professional channel. There is no logic how they select songs to be played, whether they are charging money or favor or ads from the movie/ music right holders. There is no farmaishi program on Mirchi that might have suggested that listeners are really asking them to play a particular song. And they as well as all private channels do play all the latest songs, without exception, round the clock. Does anyone have any data of how many Water or D6 song reached in Radio Mirchi top 10 to prove the greatness of these songs and how many of Pritam and Himesh songs reached Radio Mirchi top 10 to make them great songs? Let's don't rely on unauthenticated meaningless data to prove ARR's greatness. ARR is great on his own accord even if a rare song of him is not up to his mark. -- Rawat > --- In arrahmanfans@ yahoogroups. com, "Jahanzeb" <jahanzebtippu@ ...> > wrote: >>> The song has harmed the reputation of ARR also, me think.
