Koena Mitra is in skies over her performance with Nelly Furtado

Koena Mitra, who is waiting for a good break in bollywood, is excited over her New Year’s Eve performance with the wellknown, Canadian Grammy winner and singer Nelly Furtado.

Koena Mitra said, “It was a night I’d never forget. It wasn’t just the best live show I’ve performed in, but the best live show I’ve ever seen.”

Koena was extremely excited and couldn’t stop raving about the experience at the show, after she finished performing with Furtado, composer A R Rahman, Priyanka Chopra and Shahid Kapoor.

“For four hours the young crowds were on their feet. I had never performed in front of a standing crowd before. Normally, when you’ve a seated crowd you could end up with the worst deal… audiences eating, or worse drinking, as you perform. For once the crowds were totally with us. All of us - Nelly, Priyanka, Shahid, Rahmanji and me –felt so alive. There was no room to get tired. The audiences’ enthusiasm just kept our energy level going.”

Koena is very much impressed over by the sheer professionalism of Nelly. “And at the end we were all invited by Rahmanji on stage to bring in 2007 at midnight. We all sang ‘Humma humma’ (from ‘Bombay’) to bring in the New Year. Really, it was four hours of undiluted fun. I can’t think of a better way to bring in the New Year.” added Koena.

The guys danced to their feet , so much, that after the show Koena hardly had any energy to do anything else. She admitted,”I just came home and kept watching clippings of our show on television. The next few days, I’m just chilling at home visiting friends and shopping.”

The Canadian Grammy winner began her performance with an acoustic version of I’m like a bird and also stunned the audience with a rendition of Kabhie Kabhie and Yeh Samaa. Performances by Priyanka Chopra, Koena Mitra, Shahid Kapur and AR Rehman paled in comparison.
