Great tracks from 2008

the year belonged to ARR..thx to Jodha Akbar, Ada, JTYJN, Yuvraaj, Slumdog and Ghajini

Kabhi Kabhi Aditi (JTYJN): This was my fav track of the year....the song is very peppy and is unlike any of the prev ARR numbers...Rashid has a gr8 future....

Jaane Kyu (Dostana): Follows closely behind Kabhi Kabhi..Vishal does complete justice to the song..alongwith Aditi I wld say that Jaane Kyu is one of the peppiest tracks that I have heard in last few yrs..

Jashn-e-Bahaara (Jodha Akbar): Pure brilliance...simply love the song and the lyrics...

Kaise Mujhe (Ghajini): Nice composition...Benny is ably assisted by Shreya

Ahista Ahista (Bachna Ae Haseeno): a pacy number from Lucky Ali....beats are too good..

Teri Ore (Singh Is King): another romantic number from Shreya...Shreya is so good at romantic numbers that I wld definitely put her on par with greats like Lata, Alka and Sadhna Sargam...Rahat too is brilliant..

Zara si dil (Jannat): The combo of KK and Pritam always guarantee a hit..

Mar Jaawa (Fashion): rendered well by Shruti

U Me aur Hum: one more romantic number from Shreya

Ajnabi Khwab (Superstar): it never got the recognition that it deserved...

Tu Muskura (Yuvraaj):  Alka sings a great track after a very long time and she still sounds fresh...
