There is no doubt that Disney’s Encanto was the center of the night at this year’s Oscars ceremony, from Sebastian Yatra’s emotive performance of “Dos Oruguitas” to winning multiple Oscars, including Best Animated Feature.
On top of that, this year’s ceremony included the first-ever live performance of “We Don’t Talk About Bruno,” featuring the original Encanto cast — but also… singers Luis Fonsi, Becky G, and Megan Thee Stallion. Megan performed a self-penned new verse to the viral hit.
The internet was divided by the remixed performance, with some loving Megan’s verse and appearance on the Oscars stage:
A user expressed their excitement at Megan’s appearance:
Megan ate on ‘We Don’t Talk About Bruno’ #Oscars pic.twitter.com/6zNvm5a7gM
One user applauded Megan’s remix of the verse, and how she added her own flair to the track:
EXCUSE ME??? MEGAN THEE STALLION X WE DONT TALK ABOUT BRUNO collab was NOT on my #Oscars2022 Bingo CARD but bishhhhh!!! “It’s young Tina Snow and we don’t talk about Bruno”??? #Oscars pic.twitter.com/2OtqartAZ7
Another user pointed out the star-studded crowd’s reaction to Megan’s surprise appearance:
timothée and zendaya sitting on either side of megan devouring her we don’t talk about bruno verse is kind of the most legendaric moment in oscars history
Others didn’t take so kindly to the inclusion of Megan, Luis, and Becky in this performance.
One user expressed confusion over the arrangement: “I mean, is this “We Don’t Talk About Bruno”? Or what? Why were Megan, Luis Fonsi, and Becky in the center if the main characters of the song had to be there?”
Osea, es "we don't talk about Bruno"? O que? Por qué estaba megan, Luis fonsi, y Becky en el centro si tenían que estar los principales de la canción?
Another user memed their reaction, saying: “Me, watching Megan, Becky G, and Luis Fonsi ruin the presentation of “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” and stealing the spotlight from Colombia”
Yo viendo como megan, becky g y luis fonsi arruinaron la presentación de we don’t talk about bruno y le robaron todo el protagonismo a colombia#Oscars pic.twitter.com/9zKCXzmVGN
Another user joined in on showing their distaste for the performance: “I still can’t get over them doing “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” like that, what was the reason to force Megan, Fonsi, and Becky, nothing to do with [the song]”
Todavía no supero que se hayan tirado We Don't Talk About Bruno de esa manera, qué necesidad de meter a fuerza a Megan, Fonsi y Becky, nada que ver #Oscars pic.twitter.com/VxTUfB5Rib
How do you feel about the remixed performance?
