Doja Cat branded a ‘mess’ over Oscars 2025 Diamonds Are Forever performance: ‘Who booked this!’

Doja Cat was roundly slammed for her ‘terrible’ performance of iconic James Bond hit, Diamonds Are Forever, at the 2025 Oscars Sunday.

The popstar, 29, best known for her rapping, boldly took on the Shirley Bassey anthem at the Hollywood awards show, but was blasted over her rendition of the 1971 hit in a performance alongside Lisa, 37, who sang Live and Let Die and Raye, 27, who belted out Skyfall.

Doja was heard struggling on some of the higher notes with one fan writing: ‘Doja Cat sounds like a dead cat.’

Others wrote: ‘WOW DOJA CAT SOUNDED TERRIBLE HELP

‘WHY THE F**K DO THEY HAVE DOJA CAT SINGNNG DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER….WHO BOOK THIS

‘Doja Cat that was actually a horrible vocal performance what the fck were you thinking

‘Doja Cat does not have the vocal range to do that song justice tbh

‘Not Doja Cat obliterating Diamonds Are Forever in this random Bond performance.’

Others praised the star for giving ‘vocals’ and lauded her as a ‘queen’ for taking on a ballad rather than rap.

Demi Moore was left disappointed as Mikey Madison earned a shock win over her at the 2025 Oscars for the coveted Best Actress award on a night where Anora led the way with five including top honor Best Picture.

Demi’s, 62, fury was palpable as the 25-year-old rising star’s name was called out toward the end of the 97th Academy Awards – which featured a star-studded red carpet – at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on Sunday night.

Another big winner included Zoe Saldana in the Best Supporting Actress category for the controversial Emilia Perez.

Adrien Brody bested Timothee Chalamet for the Best Actor gong for The Brutalist as Kieran Culkin kicked off the night with a Best Supporting Actor win for A Real Pain.

Meanwhile Demi could be seen with a clenched jaw as her name wasn’t called but did say ‘nice’ to herself as she applauded Mikey’s big win.

It was definitely considered an upset as Demi had earned the same prize at most of the awards season events for her work on The Substance as the field was completed by Cynthia Erivo — Wicked, Karla Sofía Gascón — Emilia Pérez, and Fernanda Torres — I’m Still Here.
