The Pussycat Dolls Do Slumdog Millionaire’s “Jai Ho”

The Pussycat Dolls Do Slumdog Millionaires Jai Ho covers

Pussycat Dolls – Jai Ho (A.R. Rahman cover)

Sadly, yes I’m being completely serious. I wasn’t sure whether to call this a cover or a remake or even a remix. Basically, PCD decided to add their vocals to this Polow Da Don produced take on A.R. Rahman’s Academy Award nominated Slumdog Millionaire closer. The scary part is that “Jai Ho” has really good chance of winning the Oscar for best song.

No word on why this song was ever recorded, but I have noticed that someone doesn’t want this song on the internet — all of the links I’ve found, so far, have been deleted. But I managed to cop an mp3, listen to it below:

UPDATE: Apparently PCD is planning on doing a covers album. So far they have covered the Rihanna & Chris Brown duet “Bad Girl” (that might be a bit insensitive now…) and now “Jai Ho,” the Slumdog closer. Continue reading →

Inconsistencies keep consistencies less suicide-inducing

Inconsistencies keep consistencies less suicide inducing covers
Now and then I like to mix up how I run things ’round here, Pretty Much Amazing. If you’ve been here for a few months, you may have caught the blog in a phase where I liked to mash one day’s worth of posts into one, extra-large post. I want to give that another crack.

Why? I guess you can say I’m not a huge fan of the monotonous life. This blog started out as a fun hobby, I’ll be damned before I let my hobby become monotonous.

Enough ranting, let jump into the music. I have some great mp3s for everyone including The Roots doing Weezy’s “A Milli”, Three (3) New WALE songs, and a KILLER Kanye West remix. Yeah, I bet you really wanna click that link down there, huh?

Top 10 Singles in the World, week 41

Top 10 Singles in the World, week 41 charts musicI’ve always been interested in the music charts — I keep tabs on the happenings of America’s music charts via Idolator’s fantastic column, 100 and Single written by chart guru Chris Monalphy. But much more interesting is the Global Track Chart, which monitors the top songs in the world.

This week at the GTC, Katy Perry’s “I Kissed A Girl” takes the No. 1 spot for the 7th week running. As it turns out, Katy Perry’s bi-curious summer jam caught on late in Europe and Australia. Though “I Kissed A Girl” has dropped off to No. 31 in the US’ Top 100 singles chart (though her new single “Hot ‘N Cold” is currently sitting at No. 6 — expect that to chart worldwide in 2-3 months). The rest of the chart seems pretty straightforward: Rihanna, no surprises here, P!nk, Coldplay, T.I., Kanye West, Pussycat Dolls. The only thing I’d like to mention is Kid Rock’s appearance in the Global chart. In the US, Kid Rock’s radio-friendly “All Summer Long” wasn’t released on iTunes guaranteeing (and limiting) its charting position into the lower 30’s-40’s. However, in Europe, the single has been made available digitally.

With Katy Perry’s washed up single at No. 1 and Kid Rock’s anti-charting song in the Top 10, it’s clear that America’s music chart isn’t as dominating as I thought it was. Talk about reality check.
