On February 25, it was revealed by The Academy that these incredible talents will hit up Oscars' 97th edition on Sunday, March 2. Both artists are also walking in with nominations under their belts, thanks in part, or in whole, both incomparable roles in *Wicked: Part 1*.

Peeking Into Their Oscars Performance

Whatever unfolds, anticipation's only growing.
On social media, fans are all over wondering which tracks will make it. Let me share a few frontrunners that everyone's talking about.

Why not kick things off with a medley? It'd be an electric intro, capturing *Wicked*'s magic through its top tunes. Such an act could certainly steal hearts as an opener.
"Defying Gravity"
Can you imagine a more fitting choice than "Defying Gravity"? As a centerpiece in *Wicked*, its powerful notes have fans clamoring online, hoping Erivo and Grande will belt it out.
"One Short Day"
"One Short Day" could bring some fun and surprise cameos from Broadway icons Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth, who wouldn't want that? Its lively vibe could turn out as a showstopper.
"What Is This Feeling?"
A playful duet like "What Is This Feeling?" could mix humor and sass, showcasing Grande and Erivo's playful chemistry. Fans are all over social media with memes and wishes about seeing this live!
