      What time is it being shown on ABC2

  • I know he was made popular with his song Jay Ho. They are not going to repeat that song the whole night are they?

    • a lot of bands get popular with a couple of songs. they dont repeat those songs the whole night.

      anyway, hes got sales of 100 million albums++… im pretty sure he wont find it hard to find a setlist amongst that :)

    Actually he was made popular only to the rest of the world with the song Jai Ho. Before that, he was already VERY popular in India and Sri Lanka.

  • This guy is a megastar in the sub-continent, he has been producing music for last 20 years or so (he only became known to Hollywood after JaiHo) but has truly produced some of the most amazing music of the last decade). The west will hear more about AR Rahman for years to come.

  • This should be good. I'm going to watch it on the ABC.

      Yes, me too, I don't feel up to braving the crowds. But note that it's on ABC2, the digital channel, from 8:30 to 11:00 pm. So better have a digital TV or a STB.
