    This was totally disrespectful to the original cast of Encanto. It was like saying: you’re not good enough so let’s throw some “names” into the mix to help… Also totally disrespectful to Lin Manuel Miranda and his work. Not Meghan’s fault nor Becky G nor Luis Fonsi, the guy who produced this and the suits who pushed him to do it, those are the ones to blame! 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

    As Colombian I felt insulted by The Academy. Not only they decided to start the song with some Flamenco guitar notes [Flamenco is from Spain, not from Colombia] but they brought 3 singers to the stage, not even one of them is Colombian or at least was a character of Encanto. They took the stage and now they are the main act while the actors, are in the back. I mean... wow.
    I felt like when I told an American lady I was Colombian and she asked me what part of Mexico is that.

    I agree. Megan slayed, and that dress was amazing. I had no hate for her breakdown in the song. But I feel, as a lot of others do from what I've been reading, that a Broadway-esque staging of the song with the original cast was what we were looking for. Half the song, less than aminute of the actual cast, then a new verse celebrating the Oscars....major misstep and a failure IMO

    Of course, Megan can't read the room and saying people are being haters. Megan in my opinion one of the best rappers out there, but her bragging about crash on song that is supposed to uplift the Colombian culture and being offend that people didn't like it is ridiculous. If that was an all-black cast, they put Ariana Grande up there just for ranking we would be PISSED. But her replacing the best part of the song with a okay verse your going to get backlash no matter who you are.

It is of course not the other singers' fault and we shouldn't be disrespectful to them but having them stand in front of the ORIGINAL CAST at the end as well makes me really sad. And now we still have to wait for a REAL first live performance of "We don't talk about Bruno". They really f***ed up, didn't they?

    Bruno was a fail NOT because of Meghan's part but because of the overall arrangement and lack of talent of other performers. The singing, the staging, the audio, just DISASTER. The other artists' vocals and presence are not there. Meghan is the only exciting part, although you're right, she cuts off the whispering rap. My point is, if you eliminate Meghan, it wouldn't be better. The arrangements of the vocals, the singing parts, the blocking all need to be elevated.

All it was saying was stuff about the Oscars. Then what does zendaya have to do with the song? Haha they should have left the original song and singers alone. Or not do it at all.

    In order to have the entire cast shine and or preform, a different song would need to be chosen because only 3 characters..if I recall correctly, sung "Bruno". So I think changing it so every character had a part was to satisfy that issue. I didn't love it. I would have perfered a mash up of a few songs and allow the cast to sing there own parts. I did like Megan's part. They are doing what tiktokers all over are doing..remixing the song which i thought was super smart and a nod to them. I didn't even recognize the two singers that were added and found them unnecessary too. Overall...I was both disappointed and also excited at the same time to see a Mashup.

    Sorry but no Megan's verse fits about as well as Cardi B's on "Girls like you." Megan and Cardi are very talented but no they don't fit into those respective songs. This was not like Lil Kim's verse in Lady Marmalade. That is true harmony. I mean think of Mya's softness, Pink's sultryness, and Christina's power.. idk why it seems so hard to do this and the business did this again with Don't call me Angel putting together three singers who don't mesh well and it just seems three seperate parts. When you have a organized piece of music you can have different styles and they can harmonize. Megan just seemed to think screw this Disney song, I can just do my thing. At this point I'd take John Legizamo singing it. Still not as bad as the Let it go back in 2013 but definitely not as great as I can see the light in 2011.

The first to sing in the yellow was flat when she started . The woman in red (maybe orange) dress vocals were shaky and weak you could barely hear her over the music. Finally the woman who sang “married in a hurricane” was too sharp(thee most cringy part). But y’all can’t pay any attention to that because you’d rather hate the woman who was asked to step out of her genre. who actually did a great job and made history while doing it.
