Who Won Best Song-1996

 

Well, it’s still a shit show with my friend who had to call the cops, again, on her ex, since he came with a UHaul and started taking her old furniture which he always belittled. She got a protection order yesterday which will prevent him from coming into the home when she is not there and can be arrested. The 2 daughters seem to be “coming around” and apologized for their actions last week. They are entitled brats but I do love them. Thanksgiving Monday I spent the day helping her move stuff out and to just be there since I can’t really lift or do much of anything. My friend is seeing her lawyer today and now I pray this house sells! 

Now onto the show! Monday Music Moves Me is Freebie week and I am talking about which song won Best Oscar for 1997, let’s see if you can guess which won, which was nominated and which song got nuttin’!

1. I FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE SUNG BY BARBRA STREISAND 

Babs was a powerhouse becoming, not only a diva chanteuse and actress, but producer and director. This song comes from the film, “The Mirror Has Two Faces”  and was written by her and Canadian icon, Bryan Adams.  This song has been covered by many singers over the years.

2. I BELIEVE I CAN FLY SUNG BY R. KELLY

This is a song written and sung by R. Kelly for the film, “Space Jam”  that stars Bugs Bunny and the Looney Tunes gang along with Michael Jordan who are trying to save the world via a basketball gang. This song became a huge hit.

3. YOU MUST LOVE ME SUNG BY MADONNA

Madonna was at her best in the 1990s breaking out into movies with mixed reviews but she did really well in the Broadway hit made into a hit film, “Evita” . She played Eva Peron who is, to this day, revered by the people of Argentina. She was the poor woman who became an actress and, finally, the First Lady to the corrupt President, Juan Peron. Antonio Banderas played the revolutionary, Che Guevara, who is great in this film, by the way. This song was written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice.

So..which song won, which was nominated and which song got nuttin’?
