I love the Jai Ho song, but when you are switching to other ARR's songs (on mp3 player) you find something missing in Jai Ho!! Yes, Rahman took only 1/5th of his standard time (as he mentioned) to compose SDM, so we miss his fine nuances & arrangements, polished vocals & that Rehmanish mood...
But on other way, I find "Jai Ho" a Grand fusion song which has universal appeal with it's authentic indian vocal, western instruments, bollywood flavour, and techno feel . --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, "ramakrisha laxmana subramanian siva gopala acharya iyer .aiyooo amma idli wada dosa sambar chatni ." <sriramiye...@...> wrote: > > I like JAI HO, I remember AR mentioning that he also likes JAI HO, after so many people around the world have, when asked to pick his fav from the SlmD album, he chose 'Latika's theme, Mausam & Escape'... > > > JAI HO won coz it's a good song (not extra-ordinary)AND ALSO because it was better than the other nominated ones.

I feel that it's a part of such a talented and a versatile industry. In fact, 'Jai Ho' was not even a patch of what A.R.Rahman is capable of. He definitely deserved an Oscar but I wish the West had heard his Taal, Dil Se and Rangeela. > > > > > > http://www.santabanta.com/cinema.asp?pid=29228 > > > > > >
