00:00Fans confused by song choice for Jelly Rolls Emmys in memoriam performance.

00:05That was weird. Did I miss something? One viewer wondered.

00:10For the second time this year, fans felt frustrated

00:14by what they saw on TV during the Emmy Awards in memoriam tribute segment.

00:19Back in January, the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards,

00:23which was delayed several months as a result of the actors' and writers' strikes,

00:28noticeably didn't include several actors who passed away in the previous year,

00:33including Ray Stevenson, Joyce Randolph, Bill Hayes and others.

00:38Fans reacted with outrage to the exclusions online,

00:42with many questioning how the list of people included in the segment are chosen.

00:47Eight months later, the awards show was back to its normal time slot,

00:51with the ceremony taking place at the Peacock Theatre at Elle.

00:56At Live in Los Angeles, Calif., on Sunday, September 15,

01:01Jelly Rolls stepped onto the stage more than two hours into the show

01:06to introduce a portion of the event that honors those in the industry

01:10who have passed away in the last year.

01:13The country music star performed his new song, What's OK?, as photos of actors,

01:18directors and other industry professionals who lost their lives in the last year,

01:23flashed on the screen behind him.

01:25Peter Marshall, Phil Donahue, Ryan O'Neill, Gina Rowlands, Richard Simmons,

01:31Shannon Doherty, Donald Sutherland and James Earl Jones

01:35were among the actors and actresses remembered during the segment,

01:39but while most agreed that Jelly Rolls' performance was excellent,

01:43it was the song choice that stuck out to many viewers watching the ceremony at home.

01:49I love Jelly Roll, but that this is an odd song choice for an in-memoriam,

01:54one person wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

01:57I don't mean disrespect to Jelly Roll, which already feels ironic,

02:01but choosing to sing a song about depression, suicidal thoughts,

02:06and hanging on is a curious choice for the in-memoriam section of the Emmys.

02:11Did I miss something with the way these folks passed?

02:14Another ex-use asked.

02:16I'm not OK as the song for the in-memoriam,

02:19while these people certainly are not OK.

02:22They're dead, one person pointed out.

02:25And this in-memoriam song choice is so inappropriate and ill-timed,

02:29declared one viewer as another tweeted.

02:32That was weird in-memoriam.

02:34Music aside, some fans also fell apart online

02:38as they wondered about late actors they expected to see included in the segment.

02:43How many people watch awards shows in memoriam segments before they air?

02:48Someone always seems to be forgotten.

02:51Sometimes they're two-time Emmy winners like Andre Brawle.

02:55One fan wrote.

02:56There was particular outrage over the suspected exclusion of Friends star Matthew Perry,

03:02who died in October 2023.

03:05WAIT.

03:07Did they not put Matthew Perry on the in-memoriam?

03:10One person demanded.

03:12However, both Perry and Brawle were included in the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards in Memoriam segment

03:19that aired in January.

03:21A fact that others pointed out in corrections issued to ex-users on the social media platform.
