Dude, you need to correct your senses like Jagjit singh.. If you go in that thinking..everyone will accept that jai ho didnt deserve an oscar..for someone it would be yeh jo des hai tera, for some other it wud be maa tuje salam, it wuould go on on and on..
The question to ask here is..How many Rahman songs till date has been nominated for oscars? Some of you are talking as if every year a Rahman song or other gets nominated and fail to win award..This was the first time Rahman got the nomination..and out of the nominated songs for this year..Jai Ho was a deserved winner...no doubts in that... Jagjit singh just wants to promote his albums..he is restoring to cheap tactics..if you see..he has made these comments at the time of release of his album...Its only when you say these kind of things, the event will get a good publicity..Even last time when he attacked rahman, it was some sort of event..which i am not able to recollect it...These are nothing but cheap publicity stunts. --- On Tue, 4/7/09, Anish Gupte <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Anish Gupte <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [arr] 'Jai Ho' did not deserve an Oscar: Jagjit Singh > To: [email protected] > Date: Tuesday, April 7, 2009, 8:56 AM > I'm afraid i agree with jagjit singh. > > jai ho is hardly rahmans best. > .... i guess 'mitwa' from lagaan aroused more > emotions for me than jai ho. > > On Tue, Apr 7, 2009 at 5:17 AM, Bivin Chandra > <[email protected]>wrote: > > > New Delhi, Apr 7 (PTI) The world might be ga ga over > A R Rahman's Oscar > > winning composition 'Jai Ho' but legendary > Ghazal singer, Jagjit Singh finds > > the song overrated. > > > > The 68-year-old legend who is famous for his candid > nature believes that > > getting the Academy award was a golden moment in > Indian history but the song > > per se did not deserve the honour. > > > > "Getting an Oscar is no doubt a great achievement > but the song, for which > > we got the award, is not so special.
