Oscars 2022: Beyoncé puts a spotlight on Compton with ‘Be Alive’ performance on local tennis courts
kicked off with a surprise performance by Beyoncé Knowles at tennis courts in Compton singing her Best Original Song-nominated, “Be Alive,” from the movie “King Richard.”
Just weeks after Compton was celebrated at the Super Bowl LVI halftime show by Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar and other performers, Beyoncé put the spotlight back on the city that is also the hometown of tennis legends Venus and Serena Williams. The superstar sisters’ upbringing in Compton was the subject of “King Richard,” in which actor Will Smith portrays their real-life father, Richard Williams.
It was unclear whether the performance was live or pre-recorded. Fans, and especially Los Angeles residents, were thrilled to see Compton honored once again.
