You are again right. Some people indeed tend to create hype apart each 
and every song of ARR. Arey baba, why promote ARR's song here among 
his declared fans. We already are here because we like ARR's songs. 
So, one should not create hype here and should definitely promote 
ARR's music at other arena, even if ARR will not read posts there and 
might not write thanking you.

I once recounted here how a friend of mine heard instrumental of Kisna 
and was blown away. That is one pomotion that I would love to take 
credit of and will always remember myself. That is the way I guess. 
say No to Hype.

Oh Man!! But why do we need this false propaganda? I cant believe people didnt 
like this song. I hear this song all the day and night it has a lot of vibe and 
for the past few days i am starting my day with this song. But ofcourse opinion 
differs, May be they genuinely didnt like this song or didnt have the "so 
called" feel. I accept it but for godsake never ever say that Shakira's Waka 
Waka song is better than CWG theme. I am trying to stay calm but sorry to say 
Its absoutely ridiculous. Its such an amateurish song when compared to his 
composition. Few reasons i could figure why "Waka Wka" was so popular among the 
masses were because 
1: It has Shakira in it 
2: It was about Football
and the reason why "CWG theme" is generating such speculations COULD BE because
1: A.R.Rahman was paid 5+ crores for this song
2: It was about common wealth games (who cares atleast 50%(or even more) of our 
population wouldnt know what are all the games played in the event and where it 
is scheduled to be held this year)
 
If the reasons were not found convincing then better have your friend who had 
neither heard waka waka nor CWG theme and play both the songs one after the 
other. Then ask him which one is best. My friend unanimously said it was CWG 
theme.

Re: [arr] Time for the Fans to do the job

[AJ]

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.

Sorry!! Big blunder in my previous post.

I meant to say "But on the other hand, if after multiple listens some of us 
honestly feel it isn't ARR quality, I really DON'T think we should pretend to 
like it and "artificially" promote it just because it's an ARR creation."


Missed out the "don't" which altered the meaning completely. Should have read 
more carefully before posting. Sorry!

Re: [arr] Time for the Fans to do the job

[diya]

Again, this is my personal opinion. Feel free to differ.

>From what I get from this forum, there are people who really like the song and 
>there are others who don't feel it's that great.

For all those who genuinely like it: by all means do voice your opinion and 
pledge support to the song via all possible channels. It makes perfect sense 
and is justified.

But on the other hand, if after multiple listens some of us honestly feel it 
isn't ARR quality, I really think we should pretend to like it and 
"artificially" promote it just because it's an ARR creation. That would amount 
to lowering our expectations of him, which undermines his immeasurable genius. 
After all he himself has taught us to expect nothing but the best from him. I 
remember hearing him say in an interview to all his fans "Appreciate ONLY good 
music, don't appreciate everything."

He is too great a creative genius to be affected by what's going on. Occasional 
setbacks are inevitable in anyone's life and for someone like ARR, one setback 
isn't going to have any effect on his stature. I know he's being subjected to a 
lot of unjust criticism, but he'll only emerge stronger and better. He really 
is way above such things!

If this song were composed by anyone else, it would not face such harsh 
criticism. Kind of unfair. But then we can't really compare ARR with anyone 
else. He is a class of his own and warrants extreme levels of expectations!
