‘Sinners’ Tribute Performance Brings Misty Copeland Out Of Retirement
Miles Caton and Raphael Saadiq performed ‘I Lied to You,’ the nominated original song from ‘Sinners.’ They were joined by other major names in performance, including recently retired ballerina, Misty Copeland, who had a hip replacement three months ago. She recently told VOGUE there’s no way she could’ve passed up the opportunity.
“I just felt like it was a really important moment that I didn’t want to miss,” Copeland said. “It’s an incredible opportunity to put ballet on this stage and for it to be seen in a different light.”
Additionally on the Oscars stage, there was Eric Gales to Buddy Guy, Brittany Howard, Christone ‘Kingfish’ Ingram, Jayme Lawson, Li Jun Li, Bobby Rush, Shaboozey and Alice Smith. The performance was a near-recreation of the scene in ‘Sinners’ where the song is introduced.
It is one of the most memorable moments in the film. A blues song in a Mississippi juke joint opens up to showcase hip-hop DJs, rock ‘n’ roll guitarists, ballerinas and more, illustrating the Black music genre’s place at the foundation of American popular culture. When the live tribute performance to ‘Sinners’ wrapped on stage, the room exploded in applause, and gave it a standing ovation. Meanwhile, Michael B. Jordan nodded and smiled afterward. His reaction was giving: approved by Smoke & Stack.
