      When I first Googled "Let It Go" I came up with another artist. I don't remember who now? It took me a few days to figure out that it was Idina. The other one was good. Idina hits the high notes better. No wonder they hired her

    Be the good girl you always have to be
    Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know
    Well, now they know
    Let it go, let it go
    Can't hold it back anymore
    Let it go, let it go
    Turn away and slam the door

Can You feel the Love Tonight and so many lose yourself is it is a very powerful song about somebody who just lived in Detroit, Michigan and somehow found his Fame. Dirty Dancing is a very movie. Makes you just want to get up and dance. It does to me all the time. I have never seen Skyfall cuz I'm not really a big James Bond fan like I was with Sir Roger Moore Coco remember me? Oh my God such a beautiful song. I feel so sorry for the guy who wrote the song. Not only was he you know killed but his family you know had to give up music because his wife thought you know something different that she he left her to raise their daughter Coco by herself and that's how they she became like a shoe maker kind of way thing. But yeah it kind of hits you right here with somebody that you lost and you only have like one one memory one song from them. I love music.

    I think the singers should be considered to win an Oscar as well even if they didn't write or compose the song the singer is the one that gives the song life, power they make you feel the lyrics, I think it is a strong contributor to the writers and composers, its a collaboration after all. I know its not the Grammys but we are talking about best original song and the singing is as important as everything else in my humble opinion.

    * George Benson's rendition of Michael Masser and Linda Creed's "The Greatest Love of All".
    * Mike Curb Congregation's "Burning Bridges".
    And a stack of other songs should have won Oscars.

    I'm really surprised that Skyfall was the first Bond theme to win an Oscar. Not because it's anything less than haunting and brilliant, but because I am surprised 'Live and Let Die' by the Beatles didn't win earlier.

    Somewhere over The Rainbow 🌈 is a beautiful song and I’m glad they kept it in the movie because I don’t think the movie wouldn’t have been the same without it and it was definitely an Oscar wining song some goes for all the other songs in this list like Skyfall, Lose Yourself, Beauty and The Beast, What Was I Made for, You’ll be in my Heart and Can You feel the Love tonight ❤️❤️

    I think in the case of Mary Poppins, "Feed the Birds" should have won the Oscar instead of "Chim Chim Cher-ee". After all, "Feed the Birds" was not only the song that won over P.L. Travers to sign over the movie rights to Mary Poppins, but it's also the most meaningful song in the movie. What does "Chim Chim Cher-ee" mean?

    I liked Sheena Eastern singing For Your Eyes Only as a Bond theme and Goldfinger sung by Shirley Bassey.
    Also sad that Bright Eyes from Watership Down and Born Free😢 did not make it.
    Also Against All Odds by Phil Collins.

    White Christmas was the best selling recording of all time until Sir Elton John and Bernie Taupin rewrote Candle In The Wind. Sir Elton performed this version in 1997 at Princess Diana’s funeral and later recorded it.
