'Pushing Daisies' Kristin Chenoweth to sing at Oscars

For all those “Pushing Daisies” fans who’ve been aching for some more songs from sweetie-pie Olive Snook, tune in to the Oscars Sunday night—when Kristin Chenoweth has her Oscar moment.
The cuter-than-cute “Daisies” star has been tapped to sing one of the nominated songs from the fairy-tale film “Enchanted.” She’ll duet with Marlon Saunders, and we’ve no fear that she’ll knock this one outta the Kodak Theatre.
She’s a Tony winner after all, you know. And if you didn’t, well, you’ve just had to catch her on ABC’s “Daisies,” where she’s warbled “Hopelessly Devoted to You” and “Birdhouse in Your Soul,” to know how incredibly talented she is.
But it wouldn’t be the Academy Awards without a little drama.
Already folks are upset that “Enchanted” star Amy Adams—a former Oscar nominee—won’t be crooning Chenoweth’s number, “That’s How You Know.”
Adams hasn’t been slighted, though. She’ll sing another nominated tune from the movie, “Happy Working Song.” (People are annoyed because Chenoweth’s song is considered the real show-stopper.)
If you haven’t yet caught “Enchanted,” go here to check out a film clip of Adams singing “That’s How You Know.”
Then catch Chenoweth’s version Sunday night—and of course, to see what ol’ Olive wears on the red carpet! (A pie-shaped purse, perhaps?)

Of course i'm upset that Amy Adams won't be singing.
First off, I still cannot rub off my eyes the fact that Amy is not nominated in the Best Actress category. Her snub upsets me; what a wonderful performance she gave as Giselle in 'Enchanted'.
Second off, the song that Kristin will sing, as I have heard only today, really shows tunes off more than the one Amy will be singing. Although I have heard that Amy is not comfortable singing live, I choose not to believe it. I don't believe that Amy has said that, since she did want to become a Broadway star before wanting to become an actress, I have read.
Third, if Amy was only to sing one of the two songs she can sing (the other song nominated if of course only the show for Jon McLaughlin,) why let Amy only sing the one that does not show off her tunes? Amy can sing amazing. So can Kristin. But why let someone, who was not even involved behind and/or in front of the creation of Enchanted sing the song? I may partially understand Idina Menzel singing, as she was in the movie, after all, but not at all Kristin Chenoweth.
Disney has reasoned that it's because many people are comparing Amy to this generations Julie Andrews (a la 'Mary Poppins') and they apparently do not want her to be stereotyped in that matter. Do they not believe that someone with such talent and charisma as Amy Adams cannot handle the song?
Unbelievable. I surely must be along with a million others who are upset with this issue. I hope they change their minds before there is going to be a whirwind of issues during the Academy day.
