Doja Cat Responds to Mixed Reactions to Oscars James Bond Tribute Performance

The performance, featuring Doja Cat, Raye, and Lisa, honored iconic Bond themes but faced criticism for its execution and lack of direct franchise ties.

Doja Cat performed 'Diamonds Are Forever' during a James Bond tribute at the 97th Academy Awards, alongside Raye and Lisa covering other Bond classics.
The tribute also included a dance sequence by actress Margaret Qualley and honored Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson with Honorary Oscars.
Doja Cat acknowledged hitting flat notes during her performance, attributing it to nerves, but expressed pride in pushing herself creatively.
Raye and Lisa also shared their nervousness about performing such iconic songs, with Raye noting the challenge of covering Adele's 'Skyfall.'
Some Bond fans criticized the tribute for its lack of connection to the franchise's future and questioned the choice of performers unrelated to Bond history.
