Dear rahmanic Thanks for your support, its really shame for those who comment negatively on ARR, he is god's gift to indian people, we should be proud of him to have in our country. BHARAT RATNA is still waiting for his pick-up,,,. guru

Even though I'm not an Indian, i loved the track. After couple of hearing, i felt inspired. I knew that i may be biased,so went on giving the song to all my friends, and even family members, and honestly speaking everyone loved it. It's a truly international, stimulating anthem. Even though with ARR's talent he could have done wonders with this song, but he kept it pretty simple. And i think it's because he wanted it to reach all the masses. But for the last two days i can only see negativity coming from the media, which is very saddening.There are only pointing to those few comments that went against the song, but completely have been ignoring the thousands of positive comments and love towards the CWH theme song. When i went to the theme blog, i only saw good, sublime comments. Yes, there's definitely some people who did;t like the song. When for the first time waka waka and waving flag came out, hundreds of blogers and reviewers totally wrote these songs off. But look at them now. Different people have different perspectives, that's normal. Not everyone will love your work. But after reading the Indian newspapers and couple of senior crappy composer's comments, it seems that they were waiting for rahman's CWG song to be released, and pounded like a shameless naked cat on it and started bashing it. I read an article on this song in mailtoday i guess. The reporter(i'm sure is an owner of zero musical knowledge) was constantly dragging the fact that AR Rahman was paid 5.5 crore for it. What a cheap shot. Shame on that reporter and the editor, Shame on you ppl. He earned it. They were insisting on the fact that indian Govt' shoud have hired shakira or other international artists. I don't get it He is a double oscar winner. He himself is a global musical icon. He's achievements are far superior than any shakira or any xyz. Very sad, very disappointing. Even in this fan forum there are some ppl who are not supporting rahman, the way they should. Anyways, i loved the song and Can't wait the video to come out. Shakib A true rahmaniac
