According to a report on HitFix.com, there will be no 'Best Song' Performance, "Reports indicate that the producers informed the nominees during the luncheon that none of the nominated songs would be performed live by the nominees (or guest stars for that matter). Instead, the songs will be interspersed with footage of the films throughout the show (no doubt under :30 each). While this has been tweaked a number of times over the years this deviates from a long standing tradition and it appears a few of the honorees are "outraged" they won't be able to get their moment on the big stage."
In addition, it appears that dancers from the dance talent competition series 'So You Think You Can Dance' may perform on stage. "Your Oscar dancers may include contestants from "So You Think You Can Dance". Rumors have been floating about this for awhile, but no one was really taking it seriously. That appears to be a mistake."

David walked into the valley
With a stone clutched in his hand
He was only a boy
But he knew someone must take a stand
There will always be a valley
Always mountains one must scale
There will always be perilous waters
Which someone must sail
-Into the Fire
Scarlet Pimpernel
