The Oscars is less than a week away, and to heighten the excitement, I have decided to celebrate Music Thursday by posting the songs from the Best Original Song category.
Enjoy :)
SKYFALL
from Skyfall
Music and Lyrics By: Adele Adkins and Paul Epworth
Performed By: Adele
After bagging numerous awards - from the Critic's Choice to the Golden Globes - Skyfall appears to be the sure fire winner in the category. Well, nobody can deny Adele's artistry, and her sultry delivery of the song is simply captivating.
BEFORE MY TIME
from Chasing Ice
Music and Lyrics By: J. Ralph
Performed By: Scarlett Johansson and Joshua Bell
The fact that this song was partly sung by Scarlett Johansson surprised me. I didn't know that she sings! Anyway, I really like the feel of this track, and its lyrics are written really well. However, I do not see this one winning the naked gold man on the 24th.
EVERYBODY NEEDS A BEST FRIEND
from Ted
Music and Lyrics By: Walter Murphy and Seth McFarlane
Performed By: Norah Jones
I dunno if it's the Seth McFarlane factor or this song just reminds me of Family Guy. But whatever! Everybody Needs A Best Friend is the only nominated song that you can call "fun", and that can be considered as an edge. Who knows? This might just be the dark horse in the category.
PI'S LULLABY
from Life of Pi
Music and Lyrics By: Mychael Danna and Bombay Jayashri
Performed By: Bombay Jayashri
Perhaps, it would be fair enough to say that Pi's Lullaby brings a different flavour to the category. It's sung in Tamil and the French twang in its melody makes it stand out. I personally love this song, but the controversy behind this track might just break its possibility to win.
SUDDENLY
from Les Misérables
Music and Lyrics By: Herbert Kretzmer, Alain
Boublil, and Claude-Michel Schönberg
Performed By: Hugh Jackman
Specially written for the film, Suddenly doesn't deviate from the rest of the songs in Les Misérables. It's got the same emotional vibe to it that's very likeable amongst musical theatre fans, but I don't see it winning the Oscar trophy either.
