Jai Ho - Slumdog Millionaire - Peter Hollens Feat. Alaa Wardi

[@PeterHollens]

Have you seen my brand new video with my favorite middle eastern musician Alaa Wardi? kzbin.info/www/bejne/op-XYpZjbNqEbJY

[@trustek]

Hahaha, new Peter's look in 1:06 :D

[@trustek]

Beautiful voice Alaa Wardi :) Do you have a google+ account?

[@KiraHays]

Feet are tapping as I sit here in bed listening.. Another AMAZING cover Sirs! Peter I really like that you didn't default to English for the majority of the song. It brings a deeper authenticity to the song.

[@bellabecool1]

Cool

[@clansiri]

So great! I did a bollywood dancing class a few years ago and Jai Ho was one of our songs. Wish it had been your version!

[@deepae8343]

Amazing!!! As an Indian, I was dreading it and putting off hearing it, but I was proved so wonderfully wrong. Beautifully sung by you and Alaa Wardi. Your pronunciation is very well done.

[@drex3698]

The day when I see Pentatonix and Peter Hollens collaborate is the day when I can finally breathe a long, satisfying sigh...

[@junrocks9000]

He collabed with Scott and Avi. Is that good enough?

[@chungleandthebims167]

junrocks That's 2/5.

[@brennabrodbeck5183]

Crystal H don't forget Alex he did one with her

[@chungleandthebims167]

Brenna Brodbeck Not what I was talking about. Jun said "[Peter] collabed with Scott and Avi..." That's 2/5 of Pentatonix. You also can't have a pentatonic with only 2 notes.

[@northernfizz2626]

I'm very confused as to what Alex has to do with this at all.

[@chickwit2575]

This is the best thing I've seen in a while. What makes it best is that you've taken so much effort for it. Hindi is not the easiest language. And you chose to sing the original instead of the English version. Kudos for that. Hats off..Great cover, awesone singing

[@ninaelsbethgustavsen2131]

How can this song sound even remotely right in english ?

[@iSamratC]

i give them a lot of credit for singing in a different language so well

[@PeterHollens]

Jai Ho - Peter Hollens Feat. Alaa Wardi - Newest video is up! Link: Jai Ho - Slumdog Millionaire - Peter Hollens Feat. Alaa Wardi What do you think of our Cross-Continental Collab?

[@clansiri]

Oh YESSSS!

[@BillyWilson1]

I quite like it ***** !

[@Devin3Anthologie]

Lovin the sound

[@smiljanastrbac4794]

I'm speechless...too good ! :)

[@SummerSunflower]

My five year old watched this one with me and after it's over he says, "I want to watch it again!" lol :-)

[@Arm4g3dd0nX]

I am so impressed that you even tried to cover this song. Honestly, I clicked the link with a sense of dread even though I knew are talented. And by God, you came really close! That is just incredible.

[@FarheenMeraj]

You guys did a great job :) It's really hard to sing in a completely different language especially something like Hindi (for non Hindi speakers). And it's true, music knows no boundaries :)

[@barbaro267]

I am now in love with Alaa Wardi

[@theone7932]

Yes he is good

[@azhar9384]

Do you know what is Merthur ??

[@barbaro267]

@@azhar9384 Unfortunately, the negative side of the Merlin fandom has not escaped my eye. Yes, I know what it is.

[@JdPapiHardcore]

OMG The power of both of their voices is absolute stunning! Its like gold is seeping into my speakers right now...Its amazing! The bass part was ridiculous as well! I don't listen to a lot of middle eastern music... but if I were to have a favorite, it would be this one! Good job Peter and Alaa~!!!! I am buying this song on iTunes right now~!!!!!!!!!! Also, peter, It is true...Music is probably the only thing that sets everything about our tensions apart...

[@muditay.1790]

DUUUDE!!! Your Hindi is so on point! This is awesome! :D

[@Ellie-c7y]

The Peters at the top at 1:30 are just like "Forget this, I'm done"

[@black1thunder88]

xD

[@Wysteryful]

I wish there was an acapella Lion Sleeps Tonight!

[@WeRtheScarletMystery]

Ooh ooh! Yeah! Yeah! I want Peter to do that!

[@JamesDavis-ps6yy]

There are plenty. Look up Soweto Gospel Choir's version , "Mbube"

[@MrsAnnaK17]

I am literally watching this with my mouth open... WOW!

[@sabrinaiqbal772]

Both of your voices are totally addictive. You can literally give every singer run for their money. Ever so talented. Lovin it

[@Galathea230]

I loved it!! I feel like a bolliwood dancer when I hear it!! Thank you to share this amazing work with us!!

[@horriblejam5600]

You guys are amazing together!

[@xxfira786xx]

This is so amazing! I love how you learned the words too! :D

[@xxfira786xx]

Lol! Send me the link to those songs, I want to see that! It sounds interesting! :D (just to be clear though, I was talking about Peter)

[@mr.koolkarni4357]

***** Is it the Skyrim song he made with Lindsey ?? it had lyrics but not english ..!

[@xxfira786xx]

i think he said he sang in German too. although I'm not sure.

[@jonnysetzler5859]

The skyrim song is in Dragon Language, which I guess is a fake language

[@xxfira786xx]

oh okay, ill check it out :)

[@Chuckzillaman]

This is an awesome song. Peter Hollens is the best singer to ever sing. Probably because he makes all his sounds with his mouth and not with random instruments.

[@realBlueMoonMusic]

The way Alaa rolled his R's! Perfect!

[@TheRisingKarma]

You guys have just nailed it thoroughly! Makes me so proud as an indian to watch this video!

[@IceColdGrotto]

I absolutely love this song. I've had it stuck in my head for a while now. Love you guys!

[@jonnysetzler5859]

Thank you Soaryn for playing this awesome music on his streams.

[@James_Haskell]

That's where I found this song from :P

[@thatepicbanana7499]

agreed

[@apexworld7454]

Indian song

[@gooseygirl1]

I love this so much...and Alaa has the most beautiful, kind eyes.

[@suespike381]

I'm awed by Peter's gift of singing in other languages. It's amazing.

[@riarosej]

Wow, you guys nailed this. Amazing cover

[@Taqlash]

when "The East" meets "The West" in "The Middle"

[@jezahlie3793]

i can never get enough of this cover, Peter! it is beautiful.

[@ruwangimunasinghe8123]

love love looooooooovvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeee............ and Excellent pronunciation too Peter...

[@jeanmeyer5900]

The two of you are absolutely amazing!! True talent displayed. Thank you sooo much for this. I could enjoy this song with you.... Please produce more of this!!

[@johnbosco5279]

THIS IS TALENT

[@mprakash00]

this is unbelievably amazing!!! The pronunciations are on point!

[@GittaganaBiinswii]

Every time i check out your videos i keep coming back to this one most love the language and the music it self, great job Peter Hollens

[@57Strudel]

Me too! I don't even know what it means but the entirety of it just fills me with joy. And they're both so good. ---- and I just found the translation in the description, so color me feeling silly. It's still so great :)

[@j.a.maldonado4169]

I also enjoy this version of Jai Ho! Both Peter and Alaa Wardi do an excellent job!

[@sangyasharma4649]

I can't stop saying "wonderful!!! "

[@cameronthompson1208]

Peter you are the best a cappella singer I have ever heard of!!

[@jtalbot34]

+xurdegg, both Peter & Alaa are A Capella singers who use no instruments other than their voices and body! No they don't use any auto tuning! You need to check out their other videos they have on their channels. Peter competed on the tv show called "The Sing Off" so YES it is without instruments.. He records each part separately and layers them on top of one another to get this amazing sound! Alaa does the same thing on his channel as well as him playing with his band who is part of a great foundation called "Bands Without Borders".

[@roxieskywalker]

I would definitely love to see more collabs between you two!

[@alaesyl1279]

OMG MY HEART IS BEATING SO FAST I smiled THE WHOLE video :D I got really shoked when you started singing in Hindi and without any Accend. the best part is that I understod everything :P Although I am not Indian... O am Pakistani 😝😍 one of your Best videos

[@TheBloodkillz]

if he could sing skyrim song, this song should be next to effortless

[@alaesyl1279]

Omg yas

[@AniruddhaRoyChowdhury3001]

Hi from India. Rahman saab's music is for whole world and sticking band aids over those old wounds of ours. You proved it.

[@aathmikagovindh7639]

exactly love his songs from sri Lanka

[@MrSMARGS]

I have listened to this song three to four times already such nice voices mashallah and listening our local language through a foreigner makes us feel proud God bless you guys

[@jocelyneyansunyuen2961]

Peter & Alaa, what a pleasant surprise, beyond borders. This song brought me back to India where girls and boys from an orphanage showed us, a group on pilgrimage, how to dance to Jai Jo's tune. You bring love, light, dance, joy, and music to the world. Thank you.

[@MrAbhilashjavaji]

Hey guys, I watched this and as an Indian, I understand how the lyrics are supposed to sound and learning a new language myself I know how hard it can be, but I think you'll did an absolutely brilliant job. I really enjoyed it and would love to see you guys work on more AR Rahman music. But I really love it :D

[@mohammed9005]

that alaa ward is pretty good

[@milhoodkie]

Hope you make another collaboration with Alaa Wardi. Your voice blend together so well and the video is so well done. More please and thank you.

[@vitoriaregia6779]

two talents together...thanks from Brazil

[@nilouferyasmeen]

Absolutely wonderful to see the two of you together...double treat

[@AchyuthanSrikanthan]

Big fan of both you , This one is just too awesome. and the best teaming up for the kind of song chosen. thank you for this nice track. looking forward to hear more tracks from the east .. Best

[@katherineparks6800]

So glad my son found your channel (thru Lindsay Stirling), you are an incredible talent, as she is. Looking forward to buying more of your music through Amazon in the future. (I wake up to Skyrim cover every morning.)

[@WilletteMitchell]

...WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE!!!

[@mohammadawad2684]

Love of music is a language that unites us all... Greetings from a fan from the Middle East.. Big Respect for you and your work, Peter!!

[@mansoorkhalfey591]

Dear Peter, Hearing you first time got it through a link from A.R.Rahman's FB page, great voice, great tribute and very good diction and pronunciation of the words. From an Indian thanks for appreciating this and singing it.

[@TheDeepikachu]

very impressed Peter :) I respect you singing in another language, must have been very challenging and I think you did really good for not speaking the language!

[@ellisnozomi]

amazing collab , the disney one was also fantastic

[@susmitham44]

Dang! Your Hindi is amazing! So is your singing! I absolutely loved this!!!

[@elishamorrison1652]

I never realized how amazing Peter's eyes are. They glow.

[@ElanaWolf830]

I love watching the faces you two make, let alone listening to the awesome music.

[@Jerrymyesudas]

Excellent!!!lovd it

[@greymushroom1]

dude this is so fking baddass. I feel like getting up and kicking anyone I see. like literally one the sickest acappella covers. you need to do another middle eastern/hindi cover with Alaa Wardi, that dude is sick! I really respect you learning the pronunciation. awesome job.

[@SirQuantization]

> Kicking anyone I see. Yeah if you feel like that you need to see a GP.

[@alanissophia332]

HE KILLED THIS SONG RIGHT!!!! and the pronunciation! lmao "to the kicking anyone i see".....lol

[@rachaelmcallister3133]

I don't know about you guys, but I LOVE the yodel-like notes of Middle Eastern music....

[@omaralhandoud865]

Alaa Wardi he is from Saudi Arabia check out his channel really good

[@JustAnXboxGamer]

***** he LIVES in Saudi Arabia but he's from Jordan

[@nsserawy333]

***** he is from Iran used to live and study in Jordan, and lives in Saudi Arabia as of 2012 or 2013

[@oisindayo]

One of the singers here is Middle Eastern but the music itself is Indian.

[@nourasa9227]

Alaa wardi Is saudi he's from saudi arabia ;)

[@jupiter2243]

I'm playing this song with my band and you are much better than when we play.💙💙💙💙

[@amybakrania5548]

peter did such a good job singing the hindi parts!! so proud!! xx

[@nandi6962]

people stop dissing the accent do understand dhow hard it must be to sing in another language, like imagine me singing in french???

[@xevira]

they are also completely disregarding the fact that *Rahman* pronounces it "Jay Ho"... I've yet to hear him pronounce it any differently in ANY of the videos where it's performed. Not to mention, I seriously doubt India is free of regional accents.

[@themskakashiluver]

xevira They are pronouncing it Jay Ho

[@themskakashiluver]

xevira Oh wow I'm sorry, I just realized you were helping defend it...

[@Amodh1257]

Nandika Chand Funny part, is that the accent isn't that bad really...

[@SealSensei]

I don't need to buy it, it's stuck in my head, so whenever I think of Peter hollens the song just plays in my head like Spotify

[@jennaboles7263]

We did this song in choir and it was awesome, I love how you do the goofy things with your faces and i absolutely thought it was brilliant how you threw in some middle eastern singing accents, it really brought it together! There was some mispronunciation,, but overall it was great!

[@Legofans2011]

I don't understand a single word of this BUT is another one in my favorites

[@emmaschmalz4615]

I sang this song last year in choir for my hs and when I saw this video I nearly screamed!! I loved singing this song and seeing you sing it made me love it even more!!

[@Roboman01851]

hey look, soaryn is streaming!

[@Isteak80]

Would love to see an acappella version of Sting's "Desert Rose" with Peter Hollens and Alaa Wardi.

[@c0ronariu5]

Just came from that video. Did you predict the future?

[@ShrubRustle]

You both have the _same_ beard. The exact. Same. Beard.

[@Epicesify]

ShrubRustle Whoa, wtf

[@berruva]

Funniest comment so far 😂

[@raphaelherrera1115]

[@melissandeDfan]

J'adore le rythme et le fait que pour une fois ce n'est pas une chanson en anglais. Ça donne un sacré tonus pour la journée.

[@josiedeck]

This is one of my favorite Peter Hollens song. I love the upbeat sound.

[@g.s.l1196]

Shubham Jadhav yh it is Punjabi cause this is from slumdog millionaire, if I'm wrong it's Hindi I get mixed up

[@sairas9176]

Iam amazed with peter abilities. Cz indian song is very difficult.. u both the most talented persons iv ever seen

[@ShakSterTV]

amazing...my dream to work with someone like u man *****

[@dreamadept]

This is incredible! I have a feeling you'd be very good with imitating the proper accents when speaking other languages, especially since hearing this song (and a few of your other songs where you sing in a language other than English). Do you speak any other languages? And I would love to hear more non-English songs from you too!

[@jenniferbloomfield2486]

Why is it that most Bollywood music kind of just makes you want to dance!

[@davids.5467]

Music, THE universal language of the world! beautiful Arabic piece the two of you did! as a Soldier it's wonderful to hear such a beautiful collaboration with our Middle Eastern brothers and sisters!

[@mahmoud87ful]
