At the forefront of memories

During the recent Oscar telecast there were many changes, one of which was the way in which those that passed away in the last year were honored. This year, Queen Latifah sang a song while a video played in the background. While that was a nice touch, on television it was not a great spectacle and we could hardly make out who was being honored. There was too much emphasis on showing Latifah singing rather than staying focused on those that had passed away (I'd link to that but it has been removed from Youtube by the MPAA, here's a TV capture of it).

Here is how it should have been shown, with Latifah only being heard in the background.
