Songs like ‘Heal The World’ and ‘Malaika’, were given a unique twist as the crowd clapped and asked for more. <br />The audience comprised people from all age groups. Samantha Ark, a fashion designer, who was from Scotland, said that it was interesting to see people of all ages in the audience.<br /><br />“This clearly shows how different the music loving crowd of Bengaluru is,” she added.<br /><br />The surprise element of the show was the Bollywood number ‘Dilbar mere kab tak mujhe’, which was sung by the group.<br /><br />“It was really surprising to hear the international artistes singing the Hindi number with so much pride and enthusiasm. A lot of us from the audience including me joined in rendition,” said Rithika K, a student who came with her family to watch the show. <br /><br />Sagarika Clement, a music teacher, who came with daughter Aishwarya, said that she was glad to see classics and popular songs being presented.<br /><br /> “The event clearly showcased the amount of practice and dedication that has gone behind the whole format. Everything about the event, including the heart-touching music to the bright smiling faces of the young artistes, will stay in our memory for a long while.”<br /><br /></p>
