I haven’t watched K Pop Demon Hunters yet, but I did watch the “Golden” performance at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and thought it sounded like just… an average pop song? Was kind of confused by its seemingly immense popularity but what do I know?
I haven’t seen the other nominated films/listened to the other nominated songs besides Sinners and Wicked: For Good. I enjoyed the Wicked sequel, but definitely thought the songs were so-so. So for me, personally, I’d give Sinners the edge.
“As Alive As You Need Me To Be” from “Tron: Ares”
“Dear Me” from “Diane Warren: Relentless”
“Dream As One” from “Avatar: Fire and Ash”
“Drive” from “F1”

“The Girl In The Bubble” from “Wicked: For Good”
“Golden” from “KPop Demon Hunters”
“Highest 2 Lowest” from “Highest 2 Lowest”
“I Lied To You” from “Sinners”
“Last Time (I Seen The Sun)” from “Sinners”
“No Place Like Home” from “Wicked: For Good”

The only correct choice. The performance was great, too.
That made it worse Wicked: For Good and Kiss of the Spider Woman weren't nommed. "Golden" would've still won, but the show would've had better songs to break up the monotony. I liked "No Place Like Home" more in the film itself, but overall still more partial to "The Girl in the Bubble." That would've been fun to see a performance of last night.
Listening to most often lately:
Christina Aguilera ~ "Cruz"
Sombr ~ "homewrecker"
Megan Moroney ~ "Beautiful Things"
