Two of the biggest female stars in pop history. A composition as exotic as it is engaging. Cult artists and one of the great geniuses that music has given us in recent decades. And Diane Warren, of course. Five songs. Five candidates. An Oscar waiting to be collected and celebrated at the height it deserves.
Oscars 2023: Analysis of the best song
1 ‘Applause’ – ‘Tell it like a woman’
Easy pop that doesn’t even have a great chorus to save her, the nomination of this boring and flat “Tell It Like a Woman” “Applause” can only be understood if we think that the Academy actually enjoys seeing Diane Warren lose. And is that, with her 14th nomination, this doesn’t look like the year that the composer achieves her coveted her statuette. Also, in case she did, it would be one of the most negative and incomprehensible surprises of the night. By far the worst of this year’s nominated songs.

2 ‘This is a life’ – ‘All at once everywhere’
Careful. If the night turns into “All At Once Everywhere,” which it very well could, we shouldn’t rule out the possibility that Ryan Lott, Mitski, and stand-up legendary David Byrne end up taking home this Oscar. . And the truth is that, in addition to being one of the great favorites of the night, we are facing a song that is formidable in its containment, hypnotic in its melody, brilliant in its production and truly emotional in its interpretation. A great little jewel that further enhances the extraordinary film it represents.

3 “Hold My Hand” – “Top Gun: Maverick”
Ok, it’s not ‘Take my breath away’, not even close, but this ‘Hold my hand’ has all the spirit, force, epic and excessive bombast that the sequel to ‘Top Gun’ needed. Idols of the air’. Performed with the colossal talent that characterizes Lady Gaga, this Ballad of Eighties shapes, lighters in the air and long loose hair in slow motionall this perfectly reflected in its video clip, is another of the many virtues of ‘Top Gun: Maverick’, the great commercial phenomenon of the film of 2022 and one of the best successes of the last decade.
4 “Lift Me Up” – “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever”
It may not be the signature pop anthem full of flow and style that most of us expected, but this Rihanna “Lift me up,” which shares credits with director Ryan Coogler and the great Ludwig Göransson, is one of the best ballads in his repertoire. Equal parts gentle and emotional, this beautiful tune with a catchy chorus uses the minimal elements to bring out the maximum potential and more of a rip. An authentic beauty that we mustn’t rule out as an alternative to winning an Oscar.

5 ‘Naatu Naatu’ – ‘RRR’
Like almost everything that happened with “RRR,” the “Naatu Naatu” joke is going too far. And the truth is, if we take the award race into consideration, we’re talking about the big favorite to win the Oscar for best song. Seeing (and hearing) is believing. A certain grace is worth having in the overrated film, but when approached without the support of the images, what is left is a repetitive, tacky and irritating theme. However I insist we are in front of the rival to beat.

In a category so accustomed to surprise right from the moment of the nominations, a tradition which, on this occasion, clearly had a negative influence on the ‘Ciao Papa’ of Guillermo del Toro’s magnificent ‘Pinocchio’ and benefited, here too, to ‘Tutto in once anywhere’, we need to prepare thoroughly for any scenario. A priori, although one of the weaker candidates, the favorite is ‘Naatu Naatu’, but We’re in one of those Oscar-worthy lands that can make swimming pools burst.
And it is that, at the moment of truth, any victory would make sense. Who wouldn’t love to watch giants like Rihanna, Lady Gaga or David Byrne pick up an Oscar? Who wouldn’t wildly applaud the triumph of a Diane Warren who accumulates 13 defeats and a total of zero statuettes? Well, there’s no wrong way.
