Be Alive (Original Song from the Motion Picture "King Richard") (94th Academy Awards Performance) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aeDlZOD-B0 Beyoncé opens the 94th Academy Awards with a performance of the Oscar-nominated song, “Be Alive,” at the Tragniew Park Tennis Courts in Compton, California, with appearances by Blue Ivy Carter, King Richard actresses, Saniyya Sidney and Demi Singleton, and the Compton Cowboys Junior Equestrians. ---- Best: Venus and Serena Williams and Beyonce kick off the show While there’s been plenty of grumbling over the past few weeks that the Oscars lacked starpower, the show couldn’t have started with a bigger bang: Venus and Serena Williams introducing Beyonce, who performed “Be Alive” on the tennis courts in Compton that the Williams sisters spent hours practicing on en route to becoming two of the greatest athletes ever. An aerial shot before the performance showed a young woman striding toward the courts on a horse, in a nod to the Compton Cowboys. Beyonce’s band, all decked out in monochrome tennis ball yellow, interpolated the synth riff of another Compton classic, Dr. Dre’s “Nuthin’ but a ‘G’ Thang”; before launching into the triumphant song, in which Beyonce sang amidst a group of dancers: “Look how we’ve been fighting to stay alive / So when we win we will have pride.” https://time.com/6161310/oscars-recap-2022/ ---- Dressed in tennis-ball yellow — and proudly introduced by the Williams sisters — Beyoncé instructed her collaborators to “tell these people where we are” before interpolating recognizable elements of 2Pac’s “California Love” and Dr. Dre’s “Nuthin’ But a ‘G’ Thang” into her song — and only weeks after Dre shone an even bigger spotlight on his hometown during last month’s Super Bowl halftime show. https://reurl.cc/9OKKKx (www.latimes.com) --
