You forgot about Purple Rain 😂

Next, a list of the best movie songs that should have won the Oscar. With 🎶This is Me 🎶 being #1. That song was a rallying cry to the marginalized.

I saw Elsa before you started. That woman had amazing pipes. What was her name, Idina? You can find two women that sang this

@@everlenaoliver6912 How about We don’t talk about Bruno, from Encanto? Can’t believe it wasn’t even nominated

@@JonWillis1 I Blame Disney for that one.

Exactly.

Rolling stone is trash

@@vechris2001 I agree.

Agree!

You got that right!

Believe it was just the same story with Angela Lansbury and Beauty and the Beast… and after she voiced worry that she was not a professional enough singer to do it well and recommended they get one who is more so. They asked her to simply try it once… and it was done in one take!

Happy that Into the West was named one.

me too, yes it is prefect

I know right! Can you imagine that?! My sister and I were thinking the other day about what Disney life would’ve been like before 1940 when that song hadn’t come out…I know there were other movies but I just can’t put my head around Disney without that classic, iconic and beautiful song…

​@@rubygracemoseley8144 While I certainly get your point, Disney was fairly new back then and Pinocchio was only the second feature film they made. So, I doubt anyone was thinking 'Hey, these guys really need a theme song that everyone in the freaking world will recognize in less than half a second'! xD

@Sara Mauricio That is true. But I was talking like what if we somehow ended up back in time knowing that that song hadn’t come out yet and knowing that a huge deal it would become but nobody else knowing that since it was the 30s

​@@rubygracemoseley8144 Oh, I 100% agree on that one!

I completely agree with you!

I have similar feelings for the song, knowing that my brother was a huge Tolkien/LOTR fan and dearly loved those movies. It helps to have something to remember them by, though Warren Zevon's "Keep Me in Your Heart" is the one I most remember him by as we watched Zevon's last appearance on Letterman days before he died. I'm pleased to read that you've moved on, as much as one can, and have found happiness and a new love.

Glad you’re happy again Debbie ❤

Your husband is safe in Valinor

No no, it deserves to be on this list.

Probably because it beat out The Prayer by Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli, which to me, was a superior song.

Oscar-Winning...Did you miss the title?

Agreed, I always consider When You Believe as the greatest song in history because it makes all us believe in the Lord.

@@yevettebamber4273 “When You Believe” DID win an Oscar!!! If it didn’t, I wouldn’t even be saying anything!!! Look up the winners of the awards for 1996

Love will find a way is way more romantic than that

I 💯 Percent Agree!

@@marionneary1128 with who?😅

i love this song

@@selinakurz8754 I agree with Herique

Another fun fact… James Horner preferred the song he composed for The Land Before Time “If We Go On Together” sung by Diana Ross more so than “My Heart Will Go On”

It was indeed in one take. A testament to the phenomenal power and control Celina had over her voice. I feel so much for her now and how difficult her condition must be for her. 😢

I’m surprised ‘Because you loved me ‘ wasn’t in there

Maybe she was crying because they hadn't showed her the juvenile lyrics they were shoving off on her until right then.

@@bookemdano7567 He also wanted Sissel to sing the title song, not Celine because of her tremendous range and clarity. Sissel did ALL the rest... all the humming throughout this movie was by Sissel because of her range.

That movie is dumb anyways.

came to find this! What is Indian language? I expected @msmojo to know better! SMH!

Never forget there is an English version sang by Pussy Cat Dolls 😋🫢

Nitpicking

I cringed when they said that.

mine too

I love that movie since I was little. My mom actually had Beauty and the Beast as the theme of my 1st bday party

It's one of my faves too I got to play Gaston for my county theater when I was younger it was awesome

It’s my favorite movie and I LOVE that song

100% those songs are truly a masterpiece and they will pass the time as some of the greatest songs ever made and generations after generations will have the honor to hear this song until the end of times

Can You Feel the Love Tonight is by far my fave song. that and Digga Tunnel lol

Same here!

Omg yesssss that's one of the greatest songs ever made!!! I LOVE LOVE THAT SONG and it was sang by 2 of the greatest singers in HISTORY

“ i’m genuinely surprised that a song from an animated movie sung by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey would be successful at the Oscars”

​@ahlethescout8404 seeing as how much religion in general is being hated on by Hollywood, it is shocking.

@@Muhammadwasapedo Stupidity is a disease though it is not infectious nor is it a genetic disorder though in most cases, it is incurable.

I agree. I love When You Believe.

You are so right. Rainbow Connection is a wonderful, wondrous, inspirational and gently calming piece of magic.

I thought of that song, too. It was nominated in 1979, but lost to It Goes Like It Goes from Norma Rae. (It probably would make my list of 100 favorite songs.)

@poolside123canadian7 Just so you know, lmo is an abbreviation for "Let's make out". This is not just imo. I googled it.

@@lalithdealwis4610 next time I won’t capitalize my I then :)

From Toy Story 2 "When She Loved Me" made me cry.😢

I love Remember Me.

NO Kidding!!!!

😂 no wonder she said it's a language barrier

I would say written in "HINDI"

Indians are now triggered. 1.4 billion people will not respond

I did a simple Wikipedia check: it’s written in Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu. So not only not in imaginary language “Indian”, it’s written in three languages

I couldn’t ignore it either , hopefully they can fix that

…it didn’t win the Oscar for Best Original Song. It was originally written, performed, and recorded by Dolly Parton in the 70’s.

For a song to qualify for an Oscar, it has to be an original song composed specifically for the film in which it appears. "I Will Always Love You" was written and recorded by Dolly Parton in 1973. Therefore, it did not qualify for the Oscar since Whitney Houston's recording was a cover version. Case in point: None of the songs in "Evita" (1996) qualified for an Oscar because they were all old material from the various stage productions. Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice composed a new song for the movie version, "You Must Love Me," so the song would be eligible for a qualifying "Best Song" award. "You Must Love Me" won the Oscar that year for "Best Original Song."

I don't think it was nominated because it was not written originally for that film. I would have to check. Dolly Parton would have won an Oscar for writing it.

I do not like Whitney's version better than Dollys. I got tired of Whitney's "i-ee-i-ee-i will always love you".

@@emeraldisle8406 I totally understand.

You're right. Over the Rainbow by Judy Garland should easily be number1. The only two other Oscar winning songs that I can think of that have become real true classics are When You Wish Upon a Star from Pinocchio and from 1956 the Doris Day classic Que Sera Sera which won for best song.

​@@michaelverbakel7632The modern era has so much thrown at them from so many different types of venues that it has missed out on the true greatest voices of early America. Judy Garland and Doris Day are just the tip of what Hollywood and early Disney stars showed.

Same here and I always imagine hearing the music 'Into The West' at the ending of Avengers Endgame as it's similar to The Return Of The King.

It's a great song, but Kiss at the end of the Rainbow should have won the Oscar.

​@@TristanandIsoltno one even remembers that song

@@driftwood8613 Everyone remembers that song. Nobody gives a shit about into the west.

The name in the lyrics sounds the same to me. Could let me know how they mispronounced it?

@@as3957 They say it "Jay Ho" but it's pronounced "Jai Ho," with Jai rhyming with My or Tie

@@ClassicalMusic2002 Thanks for explaining.

Oh good I am glad I am not the only one who has 292+ most favorite songs..

When I was a young musician, I got to perform Moon River as a solo violinist with my orchestra. It’s always held a place in my heart as what let me explore my emotional artistry.

let it go

"Live and Let Die" is my favorite James Bond theme. It took decades for any of the terrific Bond themes to win.

I’m still annoyed ‘Live and Let Die’ didn’t win. It’s my favorite Bond theme even above Adele’s ‘Skyfall’ (and I adore Adele)! Also love ‘A View to a Kill’

Didn't win

YES!! I agree 100%; one of my top 3 love songs of all time

This! It was honestly a game changer. It had a least as big, if not a bigger impact than 'Lose Yourself'. I remember watching it live. Electric!

I agree. Considering, who put the list together, I'm not surprised it didn't make the list.

Indeed!

Also, A Whole New World.

I'm pretty sure Born Free did win the Oscar.

it did in 1966.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 and I am writing this in American 🤣🤣🤣

that is one her best song she has ever done

Great performance but I loved Tina Turner's "Goldeneye" more.

singin' in the rain is a classic

The song was over 20 years old when the movie was made, so it wasn't eligible.

@@HJohnson7567 I didn't know this. I thought it is an original song made specially for Singin' In Th Rain (OST)

Indians are now triggered. 1.4 billion people will now respond

Guess they think they don't need to do research because they're convinced "Indian" is a language.

I was going to write that. I can't take a list seriously that leaves out that song and, IMO, should have been No. 1 on the list. There isn't a celebrator of Christmas that does not know and sing that song. And to me, that's what makes a song one of the best. Some of the songs on this list will not be remembered or sung 50 years from now but White Christmas will be. They really missed the mark on this one. And 'As Time Goes By' should have been No. 2.

exactly and as such this list and Ms Mojo lacks a lot of credibility ; White Christmas should be 1st

Was it the winner, when the academy robbed Dolly Parton ("Travelin Thru") again?
