Guys
Last night, I had been to the Jai Ho show - New York.. Here is a quick
review..
Prominent Singers were: Hariharan, Benny and Blazee ( I don't remember
or I don't know the others who performed)
* Athiradee, Nazare Milana, Taxi Taxi (slowly transformed after
Rahman sung the initial portion of Urvashi Urvashi)
* Dilse re (must see to believe the crowd's happiness for this song
even today after hearing at least 100 times).
* Luka Chupi (Rahman singing with the huge image of Lata
Mangeshkar's earlier performance was a great idea)
* Benny Dayal and Blazze looked similar (except Blazee wearing
baggie). BTW, Benny danced greatly as if he is a pro dancer.
* Ended with Jai Ho
* Sivamani was missing but, the guy who took his place (a Chinese or
some Asian) was clearly on par with Sivamani.
* Great combination of orchestra and colorful lighting arrangements
like one of the shows in Las Vegas
But the connectivity was surely missing for some or other reasons.
(may be due to the absence of regular performers such as Sivamani,
Sukwinder, Naresh Iyer, Chinmayee and the rest).
However, another great show from Rahman to challenge other kind of shows
like this. It was clear when the crowd was reluctant from moving out
even after the show was ended.
