Jay Sean - my first meeting with a "celebrity"

It's no doubt I love Indian movies and music. When I found out my fave gal, Bipasha Basu, was going to be in a video. I was so excited! The music was by an Indian hottie that goes by the name of Jay Sean. The music has desi beats mixed with English lyrics. In addition, it had a bit of R&B flavor which is my favorite type of American music to listen. I fell completely in love with Jay Sean. He's good looking and have a great voice!

Thanks to one of my buddies who hooked me up with seeing Jay Sean when he came to Atlanta to perform on Friday, May 20, 2005. It's been 3 years but till this day, I have never had a better celebrity interaction.
(Other celebrity encounters - Arjun garba encounter, Rockstars concert, Dev Anand meeting)

There were a lot of performers who opened up for Jay Sean. I honestly don't remember any of them because I didn't know any of them! Besides I was anxiously anticipating seeing Jay. But I do remember one - Deep G since he pulled me on stage to dance with him!! He's a rapper with Punjabi beats.

When Jay came out, he was so amazed by the love. His album wasn't even released in the USA yet he has so many fans supporting him. He's a British-Indian singer.

Sorry had to tag pics









I was fortunate enough to go VIP style to meet and talk to Jay. My friend and I were the last ones to meet Jay - which was a good thing!! When we went back stage, Deep G saw me and was saying I was the girl who he pulled on stage. That's right. So took a picture with him for memories.

Warning - don't be scared of my pics - it was May 2005 and I was blonde

We got to talk to him for a long time. He asked me how I got to know about him. I told him it's because of Bipasha Basu since I'm a huge fan of hers. He was impressed since he has heard many females not liking her because of her sexy image. (Gotta think, this was in 2005) Everything from what's the last Bollywood movie I saw, fave stars, to am I going to the after-party club afterwards. So I took a picture with Jay.

I had 5 posters made by the wonderful Reema (at that time, I was homeless, no kidding. It's a long story - short - fire in house, lost almost everything so I wasn't able to make any posters). Jay signed all 5 posters! So sweet of him! He signed one with my name and the rest with just his signature. I gave one of the posters to Reema because she was sweet enough to make the posters for me.

The poster on the top-right, Jay signed "Nicki, Loads of love + thanks for your support. Jay Sean" and he signed "Love, Jay Sean" on all the others.

Sorry it's not that detailed. It's been several years. Gosh, I was so star struck and nothing could come out of my mouth. The following are some songs that Jay performed at the concert.

"Stolen" - how I knew about him. That's Bips in the video!

"Eyes on You" - one of my favorite from the soundtrack

"Dil Mera" - which is also on the Kya Kool Hai Hum movie - Jay performs (gotta review this and also for Ajnabi because she asked about Isha Koppikar's movies)

And Jay just gets sexier every time. After so many years, he

finally released his second album (2008) after many complications. I'm into R&B and his second album has more R&B and less "Indian" flavor than his first. I know some of my desi friends don't like his new style but I love it! Plus he cut that hair. I looooove it!

"Maybe"
