Becky G and Luis Fonsi will join five members of the Encanto cast — Adassa, Stephanie Beatriz, Mauro Castillo, Carolina Gaitán and Diane Guerrero – to perform “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” at the 2022 Oscars on Sunday.

This will be the first live performance of the song, which logged five weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, longer than any other song so far this year. It was written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, who is nominated for best original song for another Encanto song, “Dos Oruguitas.”

i don’t understand why people love the song. is it not awful? so much dissonance when they’re all singing over each other.

So odd that they're singing We don't talk about Bruno and not Dos Oruguitas, which is the actually nominated song. I know WDTAB is more popular, but still... This is the Oscars, they should do the nominated song.

Why is this song not nominated instead lmao? It's like they would nominate Love is an Open Door over Let it go.

They said Dos Orugitas represents the essence of the film better. If you ask me, thats just a way to sell it but in reality they just had no idea WDTAB would become so massive and basically ****ed up the submissions.

The deadline for submissions to the Academy was 1 November 2021. WDTAB became popular on streaming services around 26 December 2021. Lin-Manuel Miranda said that “Dos Oruguitas” the best exemplifies the spirit of the movie.
