I love the cut Ringa Ringa, and it has great kinda suggestive but poetic lyrics.

I first liked Jai Ho a LOT more than O...Saya, and Sukhwinder Singh is one of my favorite singers. Hard to root against him, one of the top singers in India.

O...Saya just happens to be the absolute perfect tempo for my walking for exercise (iPod). That means I have been listening to it a lot and it has been growing on me.

I'll be happy if either song wins. Then maybe people will look to all of ARR's other fantastic film music: Guru, Rang de Basanti, Lagaan, Jodhaa-Akbar, Swades, Dil Se, the new and great Delhi-6...the list is very long and deserves an audience outside south Asia and the NRI community worldwide.

That's so stupid. Why whore yourself for an Oscar? What exactly comes with an Oscar anyway? I mean it's not like this song will be able to go work in more films now that it has won an Oscar!

They should've grabbed their balls and picked O..Saya, it is the better song. As chaotic as it is, it's still more cohesive than Jai Ho.

O...Saya and M.I.A for lyf.

Jai Ho, while most likely to win even before this endeavor, is so not even close to being the best track from Slumdog.
