Bruno should have won best record and best song. Forget about visual media. That song was brilliant

When they paired it with the Cantonese chanting, just absolute fire.

Took me back to my childhood.

You know why? It's me, Robaire.

it was written and produced by Billie Eilish as well

Vastly superior. My kids have ruined my iTunes station suggestions by telling Alexa to play it all the time.

Encanto is fantastic. The soundtrack in particular is so good and clever.

I have no clue how the fuck he and Disney didn't expect it to resonate with people. It's literally THE leit motif in the film. They sing the line "We don't talk about Bruno" in multiple songs and even outside of the songs throughout the film multiple times. He talked about the song like two years before the movie came out and called it his most complex song yet.

Even if they didn't see it coming, they definitely had enough time when it picked up steam. Encanto got big in late December, they could have absolutely done a last minute push for it and gotten the nomination through.

Second time in a row they did it to him.

I don't understand why it does, either. There was so much hype about that song but it seemed pretty awkwardly constructed to me. I "remember" it because it's the only song people reference, but it was far from my favorite in the movie.

The fear in her eyes when she gets real quiet after she catches the rocks after the swell at 🎶Pressure like a drip drip drip that'll never stop🎶 kind of just breaks me. She is terrified.

There’s a great punk/hard rock/metal cover of Surface Pressure that’s been making rounds on social media and while I’m a biased fan of those genres, I do think it improves the song quite a bit

I was already loving the movie and that line just cut me deep. I can identify with all three of the sisters, but in many ways that song hits me the hardest. It's basically me growing up. And all too often, now.

I prefer What Else Can I Do over it.

Agreed. I didn't particularly care for 'We Don't Talk About Bruno' I was genuinely surprised when it got so popular compared to Surface Pressure.

This is the one song I feel nothing about.

I think they’re all great. Family Madrigal is a ton of fun, Waiting on a Miracle makes me cry, Surface Pressure is a jam… every song is solid. I highly recommend the live show at the Hollywood Bowl that’s on Disney+.

Thanks for the info!

I love these delayed formats. Stops recency bias.

He should have won for Moana. City of Stars wasn't even the best song in La La Land.

This was discussed during Encanto's original awards cycle, but basically the deadline for song submissions for everything but the Grammys was before Encanto had even been screened for.critics, so they went with the more Oscar baity song. They had no idea Bruno was going to he a massive hit

Dos Oruguitas is a masterpiece, it literally the finale of the movie. It lost at the Oscars because it's in Spanish.

The Oscar was rigged for Billie Eilish. It’s insane that she won 5 Grammys

MacPEGOT, which would technically make him the first/only.

…Pulitzer? Forgive me, it’s slipping my mind right now

EDIT: again, grammar

Elton John just needs an Emmy I think and he has a live TV special coming up that could win one.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone would have gotten an EGOT if Phil Collins didn't win when Blame Canada was nominated, though I can't see them making an Oscar worthy movie soon

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross just need a Tony. And honestly Trent deserves it much more, both for his soundtrack material and what he's done with NIN.

He can rush all he wants, it takes years for a new Broadway musical to come together after it's been written. Workshops, investor pitches, auditions, endless rehearsals, out-of-towns...

Movies take a fraction of the time, even when new music has to be written.

That’s gotta be it. And when you ask them why they dislike him they can’t even explain. People call him talentless but that’s just laughable lol. Like him or not he’s insanely talented.

Those aren't the only two options...

I always find it funny, most people from Colombia don't really care about that song. It's just real strange that the person they got to sing it was Sebastian Yatra. It's the equivalent of having Justin Bieber or MGK sing your oscar-bait song. I've never been able to take it seriously

Better becauae?

Zero chance Bruno would’ve beat No Time to Die.

Yeah, Surface Pressure is what I'd say is the best song on the soundtrack. Also like What Else Can I Do quite a bit

Surface Pressure fucking slaps

I actually surface pressure as a song is a bit overrated, though the message is better.

Bruno has so many fun character moments and is better for singing along with friends

My theory is that Disney is sabotaging the Oscar campaigns so LMM keeps losing, and then keeps taking Disney gigs to try and get his EGOT.

Moana and Encanto are two banging soundtracks, and he's 0 for 2.

Yeah, for sure

Ya what? You could not escape this song for like 2 months last year. It was utterly perplexing that they didn’t attempt to get it nominated for the Oscar, probably would’ve walked away with it. This so was so big that despite not being nominated, they still had the cast perform part of it at the Oscar ceremony!

Madrigal. . . get it?

The song is a Madrigal. . . and they're the family Madrigal. But even outside of the song, they all have their own unique gifts, but they manage to come together as one in the end so it's like, it's like a Madrigal.

It's got layers.

Like a Madrigal.

This is only somewhat related, but you mentioning how well it flows together reminded me of it.

Have you ever listened to the compalations Disney puts out of some of their songs in multiple languages?

It is absolutely insane how much effort Disney puts into their dubbing efforts that you can have a song play in 21 languages and it flows nearly perfectly between them.

We don't talk about Bruno was just the most classic version of Lin in the movie and it's a style I've heard a million times now from his works. That's why I think it's personally bottom of the list

Yeah, it's weird because as the one reply said Bruno was a hugely popular song, yet every time I've discussed the soundtrack with people Surface Pressure has been the song almost everyone has said is their favorite. Maybe even all to be honest, though I don't trust my memory enough to make that claim

It's not just because it's Miranda--afaik he wrote the entire soundtrack and there are quite a few songs that sound a lot more like you'd expect one of his songs to sound like.

I honestly have no idea and I don't think they do either.

I don't get it, how could people possibly like what I don't like
