Coke Studio's rendition of Sayonee infuriates fans

KARACHI: Music fans in Pakistan were highly disappointed with Coke Studio's cover version of Junoon's popular song Sayonee. They took to micro-blogging website Twitter to post their negative criticism regarding the Sufi song originally sung by Junoon.

NO ONE can sing Sayonee better than Ali Azmat himself! Salman Ahmad should stop ruining Junoon's legacy, its so disappointing for the fans.

Only good thing about Rahat Fateh Ali Khan's Sayonee is that no one will criticize Momina Mustehsan's singing this year.#CokeStudio10

I love Junoon's Sayonee - obviously the original one.

Whose idea was it to defecate all over Sayonee? No one can replace Ali Azmat's energetic vocals! @cokestudio pls stop.

Coke Studio has ruined Sayonee. A song so close to my heart. I'll never forgive them for this. Hurts so much.

Coke Studio's cover, performed by Ali Noor and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, was perhaps the most awaited song of this year's edition. Here is the original version as performed by Junoon.
