Something sounds a little different this year at Oscars. There is no normal performance of the best original song candidates.
The traditional break was decided in January. Partly due to the lack of monster frontrunners among candidates in response to the Los Angeles wildfires that destroyed the city’s area, and perhaps in part due to the lack of monster frontrunners among candidates. , from a documentary of the same name); “The Journey” (written by Diane Warren, “The Six Triple Eight”), “El Mal”, “Mi Camino” (written by Zoe Saldaña, Karla Sofía Gascón, Selena Gomez, Camille Dalmais and Clément Ducol “Emilia Perez”) and “Bird-like” (Adrian Quesada and Abraham Alexander in “Singing.”).
Instead, according to the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences Brass, the show is through personal reflection and inspiration behind the songwriters and musicians by “celebrating the artistry.”
Naturally, the candidates have bristled their decision to exclude their work in live format.
So, there are no new works to anticipate, so let’s take a look at the dozens of Oscar’s most memorable past.

Only warning: The performance didn’t have to be equivalent to a winning song, but he said the song must be nominated. Otherwise, there’s Lady Gaga in the 2015 Oscar. Oscar was surprised by the homage to “The Sound of Music” at the top of the list.
12. Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston, “When You Believe” (The Prince of Egypt), 1999
This duet featured two voiced acrobatics of the most valuable female singers in contemporary music. Holding hands between Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston feels more staged than the real thing, and the song is instantly recognized as Aerosmith’s competing “I don’t want to miss things” No (possibly the best chance of songwriter Diane Warren still blessed Oscars), no one quips such pure star power. The choir joins the singer in the final third of the song, and as both Houston and Carrie board the plane with their trademark belling, they just sit and marvel.
11. Three6 Mafia and Taraji P. Henson, “Difficult Here for Pimp” (“Hustle & Flow”), 2006
The Memphis Southern Rapper became the first hip-hop group to perform at the Oscars, and the first group to win Best Original Song Award after the ceremony. Their performances are electrified with street-savvy sets (some living rooms, some rough sidewalks), and a combination of group roping songs. Taraji P. Henson, wearing a white Marilyn Monroe-esque dress, delivers an earworm chorus, and clearly enjoys the moonlight on stage, especially when he orders the spotlight of the final brace notes.
10. Swell season, “Slowly falling” (“Once”), 2008
Simplicity can be the most effective approach and can help with brilliant and chill-inducing effects. The folk duo of Irish musician Glenn Hansard and Czech singer/pianist Marcheta Ilglova, the star of the sweet indie film Once, is quiet chemistry. A glance at each other between its release, and soft songs, shows undeniable mutual affection.
9. Diana Ross and Lionel Richie, “Endless Love” (“Endless Love”), 1982
The vibrations between these two pros are evident the moment they arrive from the wings on the opposite side of the stage. Lionel Richie appears to fly in his tint of glasses and a classic tuxedo, while Diana Ross dresses in sublime feathers and snuggles up as they progress through the song. However, as Richie plays her modest foil, they leave enough room for Ross to throw away the Crescendo wallop.
8. U2, “The Hand Who Built America” (“The Gang of New York”), 2003
Although Oscar escaped the band (Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” won the best original song), they certainly didn’t lose out in this exciting ballad rendition. As Edge stroking the acoustic guitar, the calm bono is not yet distinctive for the first poem. But after taking off to take a leisurely walk around the stage, the distinctive frontman hits notes that sound like an operatic cry, and he feels the music deeply. A powerful black and white video of immigrants smiling sweating to help build a New York play behind the quartet through the performance.
7. Beyoncé, Jennifer Hudson, Anika Noni Rose, “Dreamgirls” medley (“Dreamgirls”), 2007
Talk about the power trio. Jennifer Hudson kicks off the medley with “I Love You I Do.” Beyoncé then arrives mid-song, blowing her dress off, blissfully blowing the beams off, and unstoppable voice. However, I am careful about the two trade-offs of “listening.” As a duet for the pair, they probably unintentionally pushed each other’s vocals into the stratosphere, and Beyoncé was eventually in the spotlight with her fierce, courageous performance. The closing “patience” between Anica Noni Rose and Keith Robinson is definitely a clean, modest finale.
6. Adele, “Skyfall” (“Skyfall”), 2013
A decade before she surprised the Las Vegas audience with an astonishing presentation of the prestigious song of the James Bond film, Adele was fascinated by her Oscar performance. The creeping strings and picked guitar offer a cinematic sweep, but it’s Adele’s voice (pure and glassy) and she cements her reputation as the outstanding vocalist of our time It’s a dramatic prosperity that inspires delivery.
5. Robin Williams, “Blame Canada” (South Park: Larger, Longer & Uncut), 1999
Some – OK, most – would call Robin Williams a national treasure. The satirical film comes with the people behind the sauce material, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the architects of “South Park” and the gems of this national anthem. But better than the game, Rubberfaced (and well-maintained!) Williams brings it all to life, marches with townspeople, kicks in the mountains of dance, and our most eerie It makes us smile on the day.
4. Bruce Springsteen, “The Streets of Philadelphia” (“Philadelphia”), 1994
With a gentle backbeat chugging behind him, Bruce Springsteen gives an Oscar award from the Oscar-winning Tom Hanks film about a gay man persecuted for having AIDS. We recruited award-winning ballads, and we sounded appropriately “I was hurt and abused.” This song was generally the perfect tone for the film. However, this performance is merely a clenching Springsteen’s standing and holding the microphone, but when he sings in both a melancholy and hopeful tone, and his background singer adds an unforgettable touch. Everything you need is everything.
3. Celine Dion, “My Heart Continues” (Titanic), 1998
Anyone with ears died in James Cameron’s Opus by the time Oscar rolled, but the heart and veins (Apologies, Jack Dawson) are the worst Only those who are things are not moved. Another master class of Celine Dion singing. On the Stark White set, Orchestra-backed Dion, in contrast to Black, smacking her breasts and waving her arms elegantly, controlling the song through her quiet dip and surgent climaxes, just like she was.
2. RyanGosling, “I’m Just Ken” (Barbie”), 2024
Ah, where should I start? Fuchsia suit and colour? A sweet waltz from the audience to the stage? Is the “Material Girl”/”Diamonds Are Girl’s Best Friend” set filled with gliding “Kens” (including actors Shimriu and KingslebenAdir) in a three-piece suit? Guest appearances from Mark Ronson, Slash and Wolfgang Van Halen? It was all so appealing, self-deprecating and ridiculous in the best sense that Ryan can only praise Ken’s fearless proof everywhere.
1. Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, “Shallow” (“The Stars Are Born”), 2019
There’s chemistry and then smoldering. Shared an undeniable harmony in “The Stars Born,” Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper seamlessly shifted their connections to live audiences with a cleverly staged performance that held your soul. As the cameras pointed to the audience, the pair walked hand-in-hand to the stage, their eyes locked as Cooper sat on a few feet stool in front of Gaga and sang the opening verse. Barely breaking eye contact, Gaga slid behind the piano for the strong parts of the song as Cooper quietly placed himself next to her. Two-iwa was able to share the most intimate moments as the closing lyrics, the eyes were closed and the emotions were revealed.
