I agree with what people are saying, that she should own it and run with it. Was it bad? Yea. People would probably love her if she ran with it and laughed about it with everyone else instead of taking it so personally and serious.

It was a powerful moment that lifted women up. A moment that provided a safe space for Woman Kings and Angela Bassett to do her things.

Thank you, Ariana.

Don't let the bullies get you down.

This just in-Ariana will headline the opening number at this year’s Academy Awards in a “multiverse medley” where we’ll see simultaneous images of Ariana as Judd Hirsch’s character in The Fabelmans, Michellle Yeoh’s character in Everything Everywhere All at Once and Felix Kammerer’s character in All Quiet on the Western Front.

Thank You, R12. This is my time hearing this performer sing. She may very well be a talented lady, but I couldn't tell from what I heard.

The bulk of her problem is that she's bogged down by a HORRID musical arrangement. Even before that humiliating "rap" began! And not only that but it seems as no one even bothered to make sure the music was in the proper key. They were too busy trying to present a FIERCE production number with no thought given to the music. Was there no rehearsal time?

I have no idea what Miss Debose's area of vocal expertise is, but this just goes to show that every singer can't sing everything.

If it was that damn Ricky Minor, this would all make sense. He's Hollywood's first call/go-to for these sort of functions and has been subjecting us to bland, milquetoast, unimaginative and corny arrangements for at least 30 years now. I'll be glad be when that fucker retires for good!

Did they rehearse it? Because if they did, someone should have let her stand still and not wind up so winded. She really did not have good breath control. Made me wonder if she’s a smoker.

I love the reactions. Ana De Armas looks like she's thinking "please shut this bitch up," Danielle Deadwyler had a look like she was thinking "don't you dare bring my name into this mess," and Jamie Lee Curtis definitely deserves that Academy Award for her performance there, acting like it was anything but embarrassing.

I felt like she was trying to imitate Madonna's rap in Vogue but it was more like 2023 Madonna trying to be cool and failing miserably, not Madonna back when she actually was.

I had never heard of They/Them/It before this latest dust-up. And I'm less & less impressed with each "performance" I view. I guess I just don't like it's "singing". And the fact that this idiot labels itself "non-binary", "Latin X", "Queer", etc, makes them even less appealing. For all of its screeching & theatrics, it's voice is shaky, soulless and doesn't project much of anything.

Just listen to this nutjob tackle the familiar old favorite ', Midnight Train To Georgia'. I didn't think anyone could screw it up......Boy, was I wrong!!! Gladys Knight's face said it all

Angela Bassett is winning the Oscar regardless. She got the Globe, the Critics Choice, and tomorrow we will see if she gets the SAG (she most likely will). No one expected her to win BAFTA. Her loss wasn’t a shock there. She got nominated, which is a positive. BAFTA doesn’t acknowledge roles that get a lot of love here in the states all the time. Denzel has never received a BAFTA nomination, for instance.
