[edit] Song composition and information

After his Oscar win, A. R. Rahman revealed in an interview that it was Subhash Ghai who had asked him to use the words Jai Ho in a song.[2] After its inclusion in Slumdog Millionaire, it was later nominated for best song at the 2008 Broadcast Film Critics Association Awards, the 2008 Satellite Awards and at the 2003 Houston Film Critics Society Awards. In 2009, it won the Academy Award for Best Original Song, beating out WALL-E's "Down to Earth" by Peter Gabriel, and "O…Saya", also of Slumdog Millionaire and by A. R. Rahman and M.I.A.[3]

The lyrics are mostly in Hindi interspersed with some Spanish lyrics.[4] According to Rahman, "Jai Ho," or "Victory to You," was meant to create "a vision of the whole world celebrating this victory".[5] Rahman, who performed "Jai Ho" live on The Oprah Winfrey Show on February 23, 2009 with the rest of the original performers, was asked by Winfrey what the song title means. Rahman stated "Jai Ho" means "May Victory be yours!".

Of the four singers credited, Sukhwinder Singh is the principal vocalist.[1] Vijay Prakash sang the portion with the words "Jai Ho" that takes a high pitch at numerous junctures of the song.[6] Mahalakshmi Iyer sang the Hindi words between the "Jai Ho" chants, as well as those portions of the verses not sung by Singh.[7] Tanvi Shah sang the Spanish words.[8]

In March 2009, Super Cassettes Industries (T-Series), the music company which holds the song's copyright only for India, received nearly $200,000 from the governing Indian National Congress party for its use in its national campaign in the May 13 2009 Indian General Elections.[9][10] This version features altered lyrics sung by Sukhwinder Singh, who performed on the original song. A new video was shot for this version.[11] The song's writers, Gulzar and Rahman, publicly distanced themselves from the use of the song in the campaign, saying "'Jai Ho' belongs to everybody."

The original version also saw fame on the Billboard charts. It reached 8th position on the "Top Digital Tracks" chart of Billboard.[12] The song has also won the Grammy Award for Best Song Written for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media at the 52nd Grammy Awards in 2010.[13]

[edit] Live performances

The song was performed at many major events besides the concerts and musical shows. The song was performed by A. R. Rahman, the composer, at the end part of the 2010 Delhi Commonwealth Games opening ceremony.[14] It was performed by Ravi K Tripathi, a Lucknow based singer, at the closing ceremony of 16th Asian Games.[15]

Quinones, A.R. Rahman, N. Scherzinger and Tanvi Shah. It was released as the third single in Europe (fourth in Oceania, United Kingdom and North America). The song is the English interpretation of the song "Jai Ho!". The English lyrics do not translate directly from the Hindi lyrics.

It was a considerable hit, reaching number one in Australia, Finland, Ireland, Lebanon and Turkey. It also reached the top three in Belgium, France, New Zealand and United Kingdom. In United States it peaked at number fifteen. The music video was shot in Vienna, Austria at a Tramway Museum, recreating the last scene from the movie Slumdog Millionaire . The English version of the song was sung by various voice actors of English children's shows during the 2009 Children in Need Promotional dance video. It was also sung in The Official BBC Children in Need Medley.

[edit] Background

In 2009 Ron Fair and Jimmy Iovine wanted to make "Jai Ho!" a pop record keeping the original melody.[17] After contacting A. R. Rahman, they asked Scherzinger, to re-write and make her own version of the song. On an interview in DesiHits, Nicole revealed that she didn't want to cover "Jai Ho" saying that, "[...] I was scared to death to touch it [and] afraid for people to hear it before I even wrote it."[18] She later explained on MTV that,

"It's crazy how the whole thing came about, [...] I'm a writer, and I've been fortunate enough to write for the Dolls, but when they asked me to look at the movie and do my own version, I was really afraid to take on the task of rewriting the lyrics, [...] because I thought the movie was so profound, I didn't know how to make sure I kept the integrity of the movie and the love story, but also make it cool enough for the Pussycat Dolls and for people all over the world to connect to.[18]

[edit] Writing and inspiration

"Ron Fair ... and Jimmy [Iovine] had a list of writers that they wanted to send a pop version of the ‘Jai Ho!’ song to. They wanted to get a bunch of different versions to see who could nail a version for the Pussycat Dolls. In the end they took parts of The Writing Camp version, parts of Ester Dean's version, and parts of another version, and they put them together, and then Nicole [Scherzinger] and Ron filled in the blanks that they thought were missing. It's a very unique and awkward way of writing a song."[19]

—Evan Bogart described the process of writing "Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)"

"Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)" was written by Evan Bogart, E. Dean, Ron Fair, Erika Nuri, David Quiñones, Nicole Scherzinger C. Thorbourne, Nailah Thorbourne and Nyanda Thorbourne while the music has been produced by Nicole Scherzinger and Ron Fair.[16] The song was recorded in London while Scherzinger and Rahman corresponded via webcam. It was recorded with English lyrics with a different key signature with all vocals from Nicole Scherzinger. She explained that the single is an interpretation rather than a remix.[17] Nicole stated on DesiHits that love and destiny were her key elements and has taken different themes from the movie for the writing of the song. She continued saying that, "I prayed every night to do this right".[20] Scherzinger's version replaces the original tune's Hindi words with English lyrics, including the chorus, "You are the reason that I breathe/ You are the reason that I still believe/ You are my destiny/ Jai ho."[21]

Reviews for "Jai Ho (You Are My Destiny)" were mainly positive. Bill Lamb from About.com gave the song 4.5 out of five stars. "The addition of the Pussycat Dolls to the song may have seemed a questional decision at first glance, but it is this move that is likely to get the joyful explosion on to pop radio playlists. "Jai Ho!" abundantly deserves its place, and the vocals of head Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger will have pop fans singing as well as dancing along. Look for this song to set up a long residency scaling pop charts around the world."[22] Newsround praised the song by saying "[Nicole Scherzinger] sounds right at home – making the most of her soulful R&B voice and hitting all the (incredibly) high notes on this Eastern-themed piece of pop!"[23] Nick Levine from Digital Spy wrote that, "The Hindi original, which soundtracks the Bollywood dance routine at the end of the movie, is far more urgent and atmospheric, but this remake works nicely enough as a slick, shamelessly opportunistic PCD single. Well, that hollered "JAI HO!" makes for a pretty sweet pop hook, you have to admit."[24]

You used to spend your time writhing onstage for the likes of Charlie Sheen, and then you become a "singer" and your career basically becomes an escalation of sexual exploits in videos because even you know that no one is buying your records for the music. [...] Then you have to go on Ellen and perform the song like it means anything to you when obviously you don't care about the song in the least, but you are only there because it beats being in front of Jeremy Piven every night. It must be a sad existence."[47] On 13 May 2009, the Pussycat Dolls performed at American soap opera One Life to Live The plot involves the students of Llanview High School won a radio contest and had been awarded a performance by The Pussycat Dolls.[48] The song was also performed at their Doll Domination Tour, at The Circus Tour, Oceanian and Asian legs.[49][50][51]
