AR Rahman Jai Ho Concert 2010 @ Fairfax

I just saw the ARR Jai Ho concert 2010 at Fairfax, VA yesterday evening.

The day he announced he was coming back on a concert tour in dc, i knew i had to be there. I was there when the last time he visited, i think 2007, it was too much fun that night.

I kept delaying buying tickets, and eventually bought expensive tickets to the show. I reached the show 10 minutes late thanks to the traffic at the entrance of the college. Anyway I hate to miss even a single minute of the show, but what can i do........

The show was much more polished, very well organized (choreography, tempo, dances, graphics, backdrops, everything......).

Loved
1. Contortionists who simply stood in one hand.
2. The other aerial acrobats
3. Loved MJ tribute, oh never expected to see that............
4. Loved "Mehendi hai rachne wali", "Only You", "Khwaja mere khawaja".
5. Loved the young kid (Mcnala or wat his name was from the promos).


Fan gripes
1. No Sivamani (not that the other guy didnt do an excellent job, but still sivamani.........).
2. No Sukhwinder Singh (His heartful renditions were missed this time)
3. No Songs from (Yuvraaj, Ghazini, Raavan), why????
4. Hello Mr. Puchkottu (or watever from Iruvar), It was great, It was for a diehard arr buff like me(I listen to tamil rahman songs as well, without understanding a single word of tamil) but you have many more gems especially (Aaromale , god that song is out of this world).
