Off the top of my head I have no idea! But I did just Google quickly and found out The Sound of Music is 50 years old, released in 1965... That would makes sense I guess?

Hmm you perhaps on to something... Keep looking up, Little Detectives.

Welp, there goes all the hope of TIHTY. But I'm still really looking forward to the performance.

reachhhh. Maybe it's a tribute to rape survivors

It has to be Till It Happens To You, they also changed the release date for theatres.. Coincidentally its 5 days after the Oscars..

can you imagine the response and praise she would get if she opened up about her rape (similar to how she did in swinefest) but to 40+ Million viewers in order to be a voice for the voiceless. I know this is such a reach. But it would bring so much media attention to a movie that really does need to be seen by so many

... because the song was from a moooviiiie!!! And guess what? She won an Oscar for it.

 

Because it was nominated for an Oscar that year.

I could've seen her doing TIHTY which is technically a new song :shrug: But now she's doing the tribute so.

"Since breaking in 2008, Lady Gaga has sold over 27 million albums, 130 million singles, and over 4 million tickets globally to her award-winning live performances. Lady Gaga has won a total of 6 Grammy Awards - her most recent this week for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album for Cheek To Cheek, her 2014 collaboration with Tony Bennett which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100."

TIHTY isn't nominated, therefore it has nothing to do with Adele's performance at The Oscars, which is what you used as an example.

They are two entirely different situations.

Lady Gaga is performing at the Oscars. And we don't know why.

This is the kind of mystery that enthralls homos-xual detectives the world over. What could Stefani Germanotta be doing at the most refined event on the planet? She's confirmed she'll be giving a "special performance" at this year's Academy Awards, and that means she has a pretty big opportunity to give a memorable performance. Here are five ways she could thrill us during Neil Patrick Harris' big show.

1. An actual "In Memoriam" to remember

Face it: Anytime Lady Gaga puts the focus squarely on her voice, that quavering, haunted, kooky, damn-near flawless musical instrument, she instantly reminds everyone how distinct a talent she is. The "In Memoriam" segment of the Oscars strikes me as a staid venue for her bravado, for but she could nonetheless rile us with a performance of Charlie Chaplin's "Smile" that would be more bad-ass than most.

2. A sinister medley of "Sooner or Later" and "You Must Love Me"

Look. Some of us could revel in the pop culture feuds of 2011 forever. Lady Gaga and Madonna are still routinely compared, so why not execute "a tribute to movie musicals" (a favorite pastime of the Oscars) by performing, y'know, the two Madonna-sung movie songs that won Academy Awards? Gaga could begin by luxuriating on a piano for the "**** Tracy" jam and conclude at the piano for the "Evita" song. I'm hyperventilating now and need this.

3. Just let her perform "Everything is Awesome" already.

As if this woman doesn't have a Lego suit waiting to be donned.

4. A tribute to Jean Hersholt recipient Harry Belafonte

Lady Gaga loves experimenting with different musical styles, and -- judging by her recent work with Tony Bennett -- she certainly loves conjuring a retro vibe. Since calypso king Harry Belafonte is winning the Jean Hersholt humanitarian Oscar this year, could we be in for a raucous, libidinous retelling of "The Banana Boat Song"? I don't hate it, and neither should you.

5. A musical tribute to Robin Williams

I think this is the best guess as to what Lady Gaga will be doing at the Oscars. Robin Williams was involved in a number of movies with famous musical moments; "Aladdin" alone, featuring the Oscar-winning "A Whole New World," would be worthy enough of Gaga's involvement. Hell, if she recreated Williams' Oscar performance of "Blame Canada," I wouldn't be mad. And neither would Canada, if they knew what was good for them.

I'm pretty sure the performance will either be Best Song related or part of a tribute performance.  Highly doubt she's performing her own work.  Even TIHTY is a stretch.  but who knows.
