i just cant fathom as to why Taher syed seems to be okay with this new found publicity. i mean the guy is being trolled like anything on the internet for crying out loud! i just wish that someone had put some sense into him while he was writing and singing the song. Makes me think that the people around him at that time were just as senseless and ludicrous as him!!
My account was suspended because I sees Eye to eye -
i simply loved the melody. lets take it simple and appreciate :) Yar bhai ka confidence ghazab ka hay. (1 Pound fish is past now )
He probably paid them for publicity, so that readers go and increase the number of views he gets
His twitter account was suspended because it was suspended and the reason why it got suspened was because it was suspended. The suspension occurred due to the reason his account was suspended ... Ooo Wow! I can work at Tribune news desk :p
This cheap act from Twitter will not stop the world from going #EyeToEye.
This song is a National Tragedy :-/
Pathetic Song and Video!!! it can only be famous on account of his high level of sickness and awfulness.
My eyes, my sad eyes ET didn't tell people why my account was suspended - My crying eyes My laser eyes My eyes my eyes
OMG.......“Eye to Eye” immediately took the world of internet by storm........seriously ???
Don' tell me there's an Urdu version also!
People who are asking the question "Why?" clearly have never used twitter. The best possible explanation to the suspension of his account can be attributed to a large number of people reporting his account as abusive or spam. In short, he got trolled.
I'd say fire the interns already ET!
Well, ET is a sort of shock-jock tabloid newspaper, like the Daily Mirror. Dont expect any journalist standards from it. Supposedly, it speaks for the "left" in Pakistan, whatever that means these days.
Just ruined 5mins of my life...
He destroyed Twitter's Eyes...through his Spectrum Eyes...
But WHY? This IS the question. As Bilal said, hire better reporters.
Why was he suspended? And who suspended him? Anyone?
Im speechless!
This is what Pakistan has been up to while Ive been out!!!
Ok so I'm lost.
I watched the video on youtube but I'm not sure why it's famous. This story just made me really confused. If you're going to write about it, write a bit more. Why was it trending and why was he banned from twitter?
What?? . I thought news items are meant to answer 'Why'. You have failed to inform us Why his account was suspended!
And the news article abruptly stops. Poorly written. Who is this guy? Why was he suspended? Who suspended him? What happened to freedom of speech? ET please hire better journalists. Thanks
Can someone at the web desk explain why his twitter account eas suspended & who suspended it are are supposed to guess this?
