Great news, music and movie lovers: Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo are slated as performers at Oscars 2025! These two powerhouses from *Wicked* have everyone buzzing with excitement about their upcoming performance at this prestigious award show.
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*. With this being Ariana's debut nomination and Cynthia potentially making history, there's plenty at stake!
Peeking Into Their Oscars Performance
The air's thick with curiosity about what exactly they'll perform, but whispers in Hollywood circles suggest a spectacular medley from *Wicked* might headline. Some say that Oscars' producers Raj Kapoor and Katy Mullan hope it'll set a thrilling tone. Yet, others on The Hollywood Reporter nod that final calls haven't been made. 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.
Top Picks: Songs That Might Just Make The Cut
Wicked Medley
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!
"For Good"
Even if primarily about *Wicked*'s first film, slipping in "For Good" from its sequel could wrap their set with an emotional hug. It touches on friendship and change, perfect teasers ahead.
