"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."

Hours after she finished performing with Nelly Furtado, A R. Rahman, Priyanka Chopra and Shahid Khan, Koena can't stop raving about the experience at the Andheri Sports Complex.

"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, Rahman-ji and I --felt so alive. There was no room to get tired. The audiences' enthusiasm just kept our energy level going."

Koena is ga-ga about Nelly Furtado. "Now I know why she's who she is. She's truly fantastic on stage. And when she was joined by the NRI band Josh the crowds went truly berserk."

Koena's medley of all her hit songs was followed by a together act with Priyanka. "And at the end we were all invited by Rahman-ji on stage to bring in 2007 at midnight. We all sang Humma humma 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."

Koena is bowled over by the sheer professionalism of the firangis. "I'm not just talking about the sound and equipment, but also the sheer ambience created."

After the show the show-girl had no energy to do anything else. "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."
