It depends on your age of course but go back to the songs in the thirties and forties and listen to the lyrics. Those songs often competed with other great songs. They were the golden years. Way before my time but I guess I like what I like.
Oh Gigi, Have I been standing up too close or back too far? ❤ Those particular lyrics knock me right out of my socks each and every time! Thank You, Ever So much Misters Lerner and Loewe. For all the beautiful music you’ve left us with!
You are slapping every Oscar winning song in the face with your cheap ten second versions. Make up a playlist with all those great songs on it, from 1928-1929 to the present. I'd wait for that playlist to come out, surely.
I actually made such a playlist a few years ago, although I haven't kept it up-to-date with the most recent ones or replacing any that are no longer on RUclips.
We may never love like this again from The Towering Inferno. Loved it when watching the movie,thought it was going to be a gigantic hit.Never heard it again!!!!!! Whatever happened?
@@alvyandana Yeah, beating out probably more recognized songs like Goldfinger, Live and Let Die and A View To A Kill. Live and Let Die was nominated but I think what hurt that song winning (and A View To A Kill not even nominated) was the fact they were rock songs by rock acts, not middle of the road acts, and this was when rock acts had troubles. In fact at the time there was controversy because A View To A Kill not being nominated even though it was the only James Bond song to hit #1 and Duran Duran (who wrote it) being the most popular band in the world at that time. Instead they nominated some real clunkers, like from A Chorus Line. Reportedly someone stated they would never nominate a "punk" band. Not sure where I heard this but it did infuriate me. They are more open about what they nominate now, including hip hop (and Lose Yourself definitely deserved to win), but U2, who is the closest band to Duran Duran musically to be nominated hasn't won yet.
@@RadioLaPrincessLive and Let Die, Nobody Does It Better and For Your Eyes Only were nominated before Skyfall became the first winner in the franchise.
Reviewing the also-rans from the past, some years were just tougher than others when choosing a single song. 1944, for example, with "Swinging On a Star" as the winner and also-rans including "The Trolley Song" and "Long Ago and Far Away." Or how about 1941, with "The Last Time I Saw Paris" beating "Blues In the Night," "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy," and "Chattanooga Choo Choo"? 1937's nod to "Sweet Leilani" still baffles me - it beat "That Old Feeling" and "They Can't Take That Away From Me." On another note, my community chorus performed choral versions of two of the winners. We loved "Jai Ho" and were less than enthusiastic about "Skyfall."
Wonderful! The clips are well-chosen, and just long enough to give you a good idea of the whole song. (Personal favorite here: the clip of Jackie Gleason singing "Call me irresponsible,' taken from the film; I usually see/hear it performed by a trained vocalist.) I'm thinking that it might by like opening Pandora's box - also take way too long - to list what the competition was for the years covered. Anyway, thanks so much for posting this.
Musicals lost their Oscar appeal in recent years except for a few beautiful ones. It used to be a great musical competed against another even greater musical. I hope that time revives itself in film. Theater has not lost that greatness in music ... another reason to see a play.
idk why this moment has stuck in my mind but i distinctly remember when three 6 mafia won for it's hard out here for a pimp. also i loved that song and had it on my mp3 player listening to it at school. also also taraji p. henson performed it at the oscars which was my introduction to her.
The Best Original Sing winner has come from the Best Picture winner only 5 times so far. These are "Swinging on a Star" from "Going My Way", "Gigi" from "Gigi", "My Heart Will Go On" from "Titanic" and the songs from the 3rd "Lord of the Rings" film and "Slumdog Millionaire". There have also been at least 4 Best Picture winners that featured a song the won Best Original Song when used in an earlier movie: "Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head" - "Forrest Gump" "Call Me Irresponsible" - "American Beauty" "You'll Never Know" - "The Shape of Water" "White Christmas" - "Nomadland"
I wish 9 to 5 had won for Best Original Song of 1980, I See You by Leona Lewis should’ve been nominated and win of 2009 Song of the Heart by Prince ( Happy Feet) should’ve been nominated and won of 2006 Lady Gaga of 2015 I’m Just Ken (Ryan Gosling) - Mark Ronson of 2023
80s and 90s were amazing, only song I truly loved since 2000 is Loose Yourself. The rest since then is so low energy (not necessarily bad, but not always great)
I was happy that "I'm Gonna Love Me Again" won (although "Into The Unknown" is a good song too), because I wanted it for Bernie Taupin, because Elton had already won (Tim Rice was the lyricist). I was disappointed that Taron Egerton wasn't nominated for playing Elton because I thought he was very good. Funnily enough, when my youngest nephew heard "I'm Still Standing" (just Elton at the piano), he started clapping his little hands together. I'd never seen him react like that to any music.
i still don't understand how the only James Bond songs to win are more recent. In fact most of the earlier ones weren't even nominated except Live and Let Die. A View To A Kill is the only theme to reach #1 on the US charts but I remember at the time someone saying (or someone told me this) they would never nominate a "punk" band (same reason why Don't You Forget About Me from the Breakfast Club wasn't nominated either but they nominate flops like a song from A Chorus Line).
"Live And Let Die" is one of my favourite Bond songs and the best song Paul McCartney has ever written. You know it's good when the person who wrote it says it didn't take long.
Ironic that one of the most memorable and best performed songs of the movies, 1977's New York, New York, not only did not win...it wasn't even nominated!
Similarly, "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" from "Meet Me in St. Louis" 1944 was not even nominated; "The Trolley Song" from MMISL was nominated, but did not win. "Merry Little Christmas" is an annual favorite even today, while hardly anyone remembers Oscar winner that year, "Swinging on a Star."
Good song, but I thought that Prince of Egypt song was better. Also, songs from Mulan were better than I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing which was released the same year, but they weren’t even nominated. I think Dianne Warren should have won for Till it Happens to You.
Madonna has never won an Oscar or even been nominated; she did sing Steven Sondheim's 1990 Oscar winning "Sooner or Later I Always Get My Man" from "Dick Tracy." Alan Menken has won 4 Best Song Oscars: "Under the Sea" (1989), "Beauty and the Beast" (1991), "A Whole New World" (1992) and "Colors of the Wind" (1995). He has 8 Oscars total. Robert Lopez and wife Kristen Anderson-Lopez have won 2 Oscars, for "Let It Go" from "Frozen" 2013 and "Remember Me" from "Coco" in 2017. Alan and Marilyn Bergman won twice for "The Way We Were" (1973) and "The Windmills of Your Mind" (1968) from "The Thomas Crown Affair." Al Kasha and Joel Hirschhorn won twice: "There's Got to Be a Morning After" from 1972's "The Poseidon Adventure" and 1974 winner "We May Never Love Like This Again" from "The Towering Inferno." Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer won twice for "The Days of Wine and Roses" (1962) and "Moon River" (1961) from "Breakfast at Tiffanys.

To my ears the boredom sets in from the year 2000 on……till present.
Yep, it just died in 2000 and has got progressively worse, except for the three Bond themes
I think the same thing. For whatever reason , almost all of the great songs were pre 2000 or even 1995
Skyfall by Adele is great though
Some classic, great songs that will be remembered forever. And some duds.
Some MAJOR duds and a handful of masterpieces.
Fred Astaire singing "The Way You Look Tonight" gives me goosebumps. Many of his songs were written with him in mind.
The 80s are BANGER after BANGER
Pretty much every song from 1980-1988 made Billboard's top 5
Yeah
80-87 yes, then a few decent ones in the '90s, then disaster apart from the Bond themes

I can't believe the sound went out on the video during "My Heart Will Go On".

Absolutely agree ❤
All are terrific
Lo que no puedo creer que peliculas como Rocky, Saturday night fever y Midnight Express no hayan ganado oscars con sus temas musicales
80s and 90s the best!
Naatu Naatu and Jai Ho are 2 of my favorite songs. Nearly every song from1934 into the 60s and some until 2024 are still great.
It's because you're an Indian

@@ForceMaximus84 I wonder why For Your Eyes Only was nominated but not A View To A Kill, which is so much better.
@@RadioLaPrincess I don’t know. Probably because For Your Eyes Only was more popular as a movie than A View to a Kill was (and still is).
The 80s wins the battle for Best Original Song Decade.
Yes
In 1936 it never occurred to them that one day the song "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp" would take the statue.
TY for this!!
I LOVED IT! I JUST WISH YOU LET THE LAST 2 decades go a couple seconds longer
Very cool!
MARVELOUS MUSICS ❤❤❤!!!
The Oscars sure love low energy ballads, don't they?
And Disney songs!
Nothing wrong with that
I cried through this collection.
The odd thing is some of these ballads weren't even hits and beat out bigger or better well known songs.
Especially in the 80s.
I didn't realize Billy Eyelash won twice. That's amazing, good for her! 🎉
She is now the youngest person ever to have won 2 Oscars (ages 20 and 22). The second youngest is her brother Finneas (ages 24 and 26).

Sweet Leilani got nominated instead of Someday My Prince will Come from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
I Just Called to Say I Love You beats out Footloose and Ghostbusters for Best Original Song back in the 80s.
I like "Swinging on a Star", but I love "Long Ago and Far Away". Oh well.
Some have REEL staying power.
Most do not.
What!? "Man or Muppet" will live on forever!
@donbrown1284 Love that song! And Sheldon being the human version of Walter is PERFECT!
Billie is sooo deserved!
All Amazing till it gets to the 2000's and then more misses than hits for me...
Yeah. Not every one, but a definite drop in the quality.

Most of the Favourite Oscar's Best Original Songs are from Disney.
Out of 90 years only 12 were from Disney/Pixar, although they were some of the best of the best songs!
Musicals lost their Oscar appeal in recent years except for a few beautiful ones. It used to be a great musical competed against another even greater musical. I hope that time revives itself in film. Theater has not lost that greatness in music ... another reason to see a play.
One Less Bell To Answer was originally recorded by The Fifth Dimension.
I just realized that most of the clips had the singers sing the name of the song in the song :0
Evergreen.
80’s the best
Cool
I wish I could go back to the 50's and start all over. Great times until 2004 and things started falling apart in the world.
Some would say before then like after 9/11 in 2001. Pretty much the 20th century just sucks.
Moon River. 💛
80s baby amazing
2020s is a going to be a spectacular era

People were romantic back then❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm glad a song from mary poppins won but it should have gone to either feed the birds or lets go fly a kite
wow the 80s are so obviously the best years here
To the creator of this. MAKE it so we can push a button on most like songs. Wind it back so we can make our video of the whole song.
Rest in peace, Kris Kristofferson ( a star is born).
I love this list, but why so short pieces??
there was somebody who made longer versions and the video got taken down - i bet the copyright police forced it off.
gotta love how most of the Oscar songs take themselves seriously and then there's AM I A MAN OR A MUPPET
Madonna ❤❤❤❤❤
One Song they are all great but for me SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW is the best baci x
Harold Arlen and Yip Harburg's 1939 winner "Over the Rainbow" ranks number one on the American Film Institute's list of best songs from movies.
@Peter-z9t zi thought It might of been White Christmas baci x
The way we were. Painful.
Música, propriamente dita, só começou a ganhar a partir dos anos 70.
Animações da Disney dominaram os anos 90.
Música popular só ganhou até 2015.
The Best Original Sing winner has come from the Best Picture winner only 5 times so far. These are "Swinging on a Star" from "Going My Way", "Gigi" from "Gigi", "My Heart Will Go On" from "Titanic" and the songs from the 3rd "Lord of the Rings" film and "Slumdog Millionaire".

From the slow and calmness of Billie Eilish to NAATU NAATU NAATU NAATU and then back to Billie Eilish.
The 80s ROCKS!
In the 90s Disney owned the music categories at the Oscars deservedly so mainly thanks to Alan Menken
Shallow is one of the best!
I wish 9 to 5 had won for Best Original Song of 1980,
I See You by Leona Lewis should’ve been nominated and win of 2009
Song of the Heart by Prince ( Happy Feet) should’ve been nominated and won of 2006

80s and 90s were amazing, only song I truly loved since 2000 is Loose Yourself. The rest since then is so low energy (not necessarily bad, but not always great)
i wouldn't say "let it go" is low-energy..
Good selection, but the worst were the ones from 2000 and on.
I would have heard the full song instead of one line a! 💚🇮🇪☘️

Songs from Broadway musicals like "A Chorus Line" are NOT eligible for the Oscar, only songs from films.
Arthur's theme!
Surprisingly no The Sound of Music 😢
Sound of Music was based on an existing musical, so it wouldn't be eligible for this category.
Philadelphia

In my opinion, I don’t want to miss a thing should’ve won the Oscar over when you believe
In my opinion it was either When You Believe or The Prayer.
When You Believe's legacy speaks for itself.
The Prayer for me
In spite of being a HUGE Whitney fan, I have to agree!
Good song, but I thought that Prince of Egypt song was better. Also, songs from Mulan were better than I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing which was released the same year, but they weren’t even nominated. I think Dianne Warren should have won for Till it Happens to You.
