The post 2025 Academy Awards: 3 Musical Moments That Stole the Show appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>No musical this year created more buzz than Wicked, and it was only fitting for this film to get some time in the spotlight at the Oscars. Its stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande opened the show with an epic medley that included “Over the Rainbow”, “Home”, and “Defying Gravity”, delivering one of the night’s most memorable moments.
The late composer Quincy Jones was one of the recipients of this year’s Academy Honorary Awards, and the Oscars found a special way to celebrate his legacy. Queen Latifah was in charge of delivering the tribute to Jones, which included the song “Ease on Down the Road” from the hit Broadway musical The Wiz.
James Bond tribute honoring the producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson was also a part of this year’s Oscars. Pop stars Lisa, Doja Cat, and Raye performed some of the hit songs from this beloved action franchise, including “Live and Let Die”, “Diamonds are Forever”, and “Skyfall”, while The Substance star Margaret Qualley danced in the background.

]]>Lisa’s debut solo album Alter Ego created more commotion than any other this week. The Blackpink singer has given us several epic collaborations ahead of its release, and the new track “Rapunzel” feat. Megan Thee Stallion may just be among its best.
This week has been pretty slow for major album releases, but our favorite indie artists have been pretty busy. No new album impressed us more than Banks’ Off with Her Head, and “Delulu” is one of its best songs. Panda Bear made the cut with “Praise” from Sinister Grift, while Architects rocked our world with “Brain Dead” ft. House of Protection from The Sky, the Earth & All Between.
This week also marked Lizzo’s long-awaited comeback, and she made it to our list with her new single “Love in Real Life”. Check out the rest of our list of the best new songs of the week to discover new tracks by the likes of Damiano David, Benson Boone, Girl in Red, and Cynthia Erivo.

]]>Grande and Erivo recently co-starred in the hit musical Wicked and both received Oscar nominations for their respective performances. They’ll reportedly open the ceremony with a medley of the biggest hits from this film, but this rumor hasn’t been officially confirmed by the Academy.
Lisa, Doja Cat, and Raye, who recently collaborated on the song “Born Again” from Lisa’s debut solo album Alter Ego, will also perform at the Oscars. The hip-hop legend Queen Latifah will be a part of the show, which will feature “showstopping performances celebrating the filmmaking community and some of its legends.”
“El Mal” and “Mi Camino” from Emilia Pérez, “The Journey” from The Six Triple Eight, ”Like a Bird” from Sing Sing, and “Never Too Late” from Elton John: Never Too Late are in the running for the best original song, but they won’t be performed during the show, as a response to the Los Angeles wildfires that devastated California last month.
The 2025 Academy Awards will take place on March 2 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, with Conan O’Brien hosting the show.
