A woman had to resort to Urdu to praise Atif Aslam's rendition of Tajdaar-i- Haram, so moved she was left by the message the song conveyed. "Uff, bohat khoobsurat," she said.

One person didn't understand the song Pani Da Bulbula. "I didn't understand the bubble of water." Another said, "Hopefully these are the most fun Pakistani songs I have ever heard."



Some believe the show features the best singers. "A very high level of musical talent," one said.  Others liked it due to the variety of songs.

"I like Coke Studio because it showcases the diversity of Pakistani music," one of them said. It was certainly entertaining to see a man imitate Abrar-ul-Haq's Pani Da Bulbula in his American accent.
