"Pink swept into the Oscars like a tornado. But instead of opening her usual bag of acrobatic tricks, she decided to let her powerful vocals shine. \nThe pop star belted out \"Somewhere Over The Rainbow\" as a tribute to Judy Garland for the 75th anniversary of The Wizard of Oz at the 86th Academy Awards on Sunday night. The usually outlandish singer gave a surprisingly simple \u2014 yet moving \u2014 performance. Her red, long-sleeved gown sparkled like a ruby slipper throughout the powerful rendition of Garland's signature song.\nSee also: Idina Menzel Shuts Down Oscars With 'Let It Go' Performance\nPink was well received by the entire audience, including Judy Garland's three children, Liza Minnelli, Lorna Luft and Joey Luft, who reunited to honor their mother's memory during the ceremony.\n\n\nWeirdest Things at the 2014 Oscars\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1.
