Today is the final day for the Round of 32. Final results and stats for the round will be posted tomorrow. Next week will be the Sweet Sixteen with two matchups each day, Mon through Thurs.
Today's matchups:
3 We Don't Talk About Bruno vs 6 The Bare Necessities
4 Remember Me vs 5 Can You Feel the Love Tonight
We Don't Talk About Bruno - A song from the 2021 film Encanto, with music and lyrics written by Lin-Manuel Miranda. Performed by mainly Carolina Gaitán, Mauro Castillo, Adassa, Rhenzy Feliz, Diane Guerrero and Stephanie Beatriz, and a few others in minor roles. Miranda pitched the song as an ensemble because he wanted to create musical themes to represent every family member, especially "those who do not necessarily get their solo". He said he looked to "A Weekend in the Country" from A Little Night Music and "Christmas Bells" from Rent.
It reached number one on the Billboard Global 200 chart dated February 12, 2022, becoming the second number-one song from a Disney animated film, after "A Whole New World". It was not nominated for an Academy Award, but was performed live at the Academy Award ceremony.
The Bare Necessities - A jazz song, written by Terry Gilkyson, from the 1967 film The Jungle Book, sung by Phil Harris as Baloo and Bruce Reitherman as Mowgli. Originally, it was written for an earlier draft of the film that was never produced. The Sherman Brothers, who wrote the other songs of the final version of the film, kept The Bare Necessities as the only song used from the previous version. The song was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song but lost to "Talk to the Animals" from Doctor Dolittle.
