Oscar For Best Song this Year..
Who's going to follow Adele to win Best Song at next years Oscars?
Out of all the Movies released last year only 14 songs qualified for nominations. This year there are some good songs Emeli Sande - 'Here It Comes' from the movie Trance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xh_tQwVQH9U Florence - 'Over The Love' from The Great Gatsby http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSPOCVjla_4 Lana Del Ray - 'Young and Beautiful' from The Great Gatsby http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgKI7lubTj8 (This may not qualify because it wasn't wrote for the movie to start with) Beyoncé -'Rise Up' from Epic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-Xf91QbTwo Any songs that are in the end credits of any movie can't be nominated. Song due out for movies later in the Year U2 for Avatar 2 Julie Andrews for Saving Mr. Banks Susan Boyle for The Christmas Candle (reported to be end credits). Can anyone think of anymore tracks? |

Obviously I'm biased but Lana's Young and Beautiful would be my choice. BTW, when asked in an interview if it was originally intended for 'Paradise' she denied it lol. Which leads me to think both her and Baz Lurhmann/Jay-Z fancy its chances of being eligible for nomination (and winning). Plus it was the lead single and was is featured extensively in the film. Time will tell

Well on pure quality of song & artistic merit it has to be Lana Del Rey, but if Subo's does end up on the list given her popularity with Demi Moore and co...she may well beat all of them!
Also re: Young and Beautiful: I've heard a few people say it started out as a Paradise track and was just lifted at the last minute for the film, so doesn't therefore qualify. But is there anything that actually supports this view? Every interview I've seen from Del Rey to the Director Baz Luhrmann seems to suggest it was indeed specifically written for the film, so much so that Baz himself has a songwriting credit on the track for adding in a few of his own lyrics. Apparently she kept sending him loose drafts of song ideas she'd written and sang into her mobile phone. Baz liked Young and Beautiful the best, so that became the one. Add to that the fact that song never previously appeared on any of Lana's albums, and the first time anyone has ever heard it was on this film, I therefore don't see any reason why the song shouldn't qualify for an Oscar nomination at all. |

I don't reckon any of them will be up to be honest. Maybe Lana, but there seems to be confusion on whether it was actually written for the film, or was a left over from her previous works.
I haven't got a clue what songs are due for future films I had no idea that Julie Andrews was doing one, mainly because she hasn't sung since the throat surgery ruined her voice and she sued them. |

Any song played during the end credits while the screen is back can't be nominated.
Swift was nominated for The Hunger Games song - Golden Globes but couldn't be nominated for an Oscar, same with Madonna from the movie W/E. Mariah Carey's Almost Home can't be nominated this year. |

I can see a hatchet job being done to get Beyonce an Oscar. She's probably still seeing red about Dreamgirls.

That's nice. I love Julie Andrews anyway, so it's nice to hear her sing again. Stunning voice
Beyonce shouldn't need to be pissed off about Dreamgirls. The better actress won the oscar. The grammys might be up her backside, but thankfully the oscars are not. |

Together by the XX (Great Gatsby) - such an amazing song, possibly their best.
Young and Beautiful - Lana Del Rey (Great Gatsby) those are two of my faves from films currently |

Lana's the only once so far who's had any chart success with her song and that if she's nominated that will give her ahead above the rest.
The Academy like a song that's had some chart success. Just looked up SuBo and her song is religious, can't see that having any chart success within the digital market |

Why do people start hating on Beyonce for no reason? It's like people are uneccessarily threatened by her success. Rise up is a brilliant song and deserves to be nominated as much as he next one.
Every single thread on this music forum becomes a Beyonce hate thread. Bizarre considering she's the biggest start of our time. There must be a deeper reason behind her hate because she is a genuinely nice and charitable person but people pursue hate. I find it weird. |

Florence's song for Gatsby is incredible and deserves the win.

Coen Brother's new movie about the folk music scene in the 60s will probably have some original songs so look out for that
