Wtf, she has such a shit voice! Why is she doing ANY of these songs? Josh Groban sang the Polar Express song all on his own, so why the fuck is she jumping in there at the Oscars? Isn't Les Choristes a nice little foreign flick? Who the fuck thought Beyonce should sing it?
Quote: Beyonce a Triple Threat at the Oscars
Beyonce Knowles will have her work cut out at the 77th Academy Awards on February 27 - she's singing three of the five nominated songs. The Destiny's Child star had already signed up to duet with Josh Groban on The Polar Express theme "Believe" and now she has agreed to sing the Original Song nominees from Phantom Of The Opera and Les Choristes. Phantom star Minnie Driver was considered the obvious choice to sing Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Learn To Be Lonely" at the Oscars as she sang the tune on the film soundtrack, but Knowles has stepped in to perform. She'll also sing "Look To Your Path" from Les Choristes. Meanwhile, rockers Counting Crows will perform their Shrek 2 Best Song nomination, "Accidentally In Love," while there's no confirmation as to who will sing the fifth nominated song, The Motorcycle Diaries' "Al Otro Lado Del Rey" at the awards show.
But what really, really, REALLY fuckig fries me is that they're getting her to ALSO sing "Learn To Be Lonely" from Phantom of the Opera. My god. It will be a disaster of the vomiting sort. Minnie had such a gorgeous voice for this tune and it almost borders on country. Beyonce's voice will not at all suit it.
And since when are Oscar performances for hire? I don't know three of the nominees, but the films from which they hail are pretty damn diverse, so why they got Beyonce to do ALL of them is pissing me off so badly. I just can't believe this. What bullshit.
