Hey Diya, Great post. Rahman is surely judged by a different standard and that is unfair, but a price to pay for being a league above everyone else. And I too agree that we should not promote this song if we don't like it. Respect it, yes, but not promote it and pretend we love it when we don't. Great points!
And I too feel that ARR is above all the "mess" that is below him. ARR is like the royal elephant and those who are slandering him and making noise are like a bunch of monkeys trying to attack him from below, but they don't end up doing any real harm. The elephant may get annoyed, but he moves forward with grace, dignity, and continues on with his mission undisturbed. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, "diya" <ganguly_d...@...> wrote: > > Again, this is my personal opinion.
