Amazing!. I rediscovered this musical recently and fell in love all over again. Though its worse than blasphemy I have to say the Broadway versions were complete flops in my view. Patti Lupone, while iconic, could not pull off this role musically. The new Evita, well I shudder when I think of it. The woman playing Eva Peron could shatter glass, and not in an impressive Julie Andrews Victor/Victoria way. Madonna has a beautiful voice in this version. I will also admit to being very partial to Antonio Banderas as Che. He may be a tad difficult to understand at times, however his voice is delightful. I wish he sang more often in films. In short, listen to the clips and if you disagree buy a different copy, but this remains my one choice for Evita.

WOnderful!. I luv this so much banderas and madonna are wonderful and they are fantastic in the movie! Its great : )

WOW. I'm not a fan of musicals BUT I am a MADONNA fan! I can't believe how she transformed her voice (and her physical look in the film). She is PERFECTION!!!

Madonna Ccicome and Antonio Banderas in Evita. Starstriking. A Triumph!

Very good movie but..... This movie was great, but if you want the music from Evita buy the soundtrack with patti lupone, it's 10 times better. Antonio Banderas is probably the only reason you should buy any of these versions of the songs.

LOVE THIS. I'm a huge ALW fan (well, Phantom is pretty much the best thing EVER) and so it made sense to me that I fell in love with this when my mother brought it home when I was eleven. We listened to it obsessively and I'm so glad it's only ten bucks now on iTunes!! This is a WONDERFUL achievement for ALW, and I'm so glad I have my own copy now. :)

Madonna and Bandares are Rainbow High. I will admit to be introduced to Evita through this movie and soundtrack so it is my preferred primer. But I have a copy also of the original 1979 cast recording. While LuPone is a stronger vocalist by far, I prefer the film soundtrack for many reasons. Antonio Banderas' Che is excellent. This version also includes "The Lady's got Potential" which is simply stunning. This is Madonna's best work, singing and acting. I believed her as Evita...and her singing is less forced or stagey than LuPone. This Evita is human, flawed and terrific, and if the theatre training is missing with M, the emotion of the story is certainly not. Hello and Goodbye, Che and Eva's Waltz, and Another Suitcase and Another Hall are stronger here. I do give the nod to LuPone for the signature Don't Cry for Me...but M does an admirable job. A true Evita fan will own all versions, and this especially for the two new songs.

Great Movie, Great Song. Evita is great and Madonna is fabulous as always. These songs are so catchy. I just cant stop singing them!

It's okay.... The only thing that draws me to this soundtrack is antonio banderas and the beautiful lyrics, thanks to tim rice and andrew lloyd webber. But otherwise, i try so hard to listen to Madonna but she's so very bland. To be honest she's not the best singer and a strong part like evita should go to a strong singer. I feel like this soundtrack could be so much better if the part of Evita went to another. I'll stick to the broadway recordings for now...

I Love The Broadway & Film's production!! BUT Madonna SHINES!. The broadway production and film's are very different...so it depend who you're talking to, but its true The film's soundtrack is WONDERFUL...Madonna's voice is BEAUTIFUL, EPIC.

Good. Broadway is 10 times better.. Evita has always been one of my favorite musicals. I've almost grown up with it in a sense. Anyway, when I first heard there was a movie of it, I immieditely rushed out to buy it. The singing, is alright. Madonna is FABULOUS compared to her 'normal' singing I guess you could call it. Antonio Banderas is a good singer, but is horrible at pronoucing things, which in my opinion (since it is an operaretta) is VERY important. Alan Parker is ALRIGHT, but Jimmy Nail (though his part being minor) really is fantastic. Anyway, I'll get to my point. The album by itself is good. The only problem I really had with this album by itself is Antonio Banderas's prononciation of things sometimes. If you are fan of the movie, then by all means buy it. It's a great deal (31 songs for 10.00!). If you are looking to learn about Evita, and only planning on buying 1 album INVEST 30 DOLLARS IN THE ORGINAL CAST! Trust me! I have listened to every Evita soundtrack and the orginal Broadway cast is with no doubt THE BEST! This album, although good I felt almost butchered the songs by making them pop songs. They're still enjoyable none-the-less, which is why it earns 4 stars. So all-in-all. Good overall album. Very pop, still enjoyable. If you're looking to learn about Evita and only buying 1 album, buy the orginal cast, it's a million times better

Solid film recording. The first Evita album I ever heard was actually the '76 concept album, and many of those performances remain near and dear even now. Julie Covington is my favorite Evita. Patti LuPone has some mad talent, but I don't like her extremely dramatic interpretations. *ducks rotten tomatoes* She's still better than Madonna, though, and she is the primary reason I don't enjoy this as much as I'd like to. I saw the film back when it came out, and Madonna looked the part; she could do both street urchin and first lady pretty well, and watching her glam '40s attire tended to distract me from her incredibly weak vocals. Now that there are no visuals, it's even more glaringly obvious, though. No hate for Madonna, though, it's just not what she does. I didn't find Antonio Banderas's accent off-putting at all. It lent a bit more authenticity to the performance for me, although he's obviously not from Argentina. Maybe if I spoke Spanish or could at least hear the differences between accents, then it might be distracting. But he's a great singer and an even better actor (although you miss some of that with an audio recording, of course), and I like his interpretation of this role a lot; in fact I'd say he's my favorite (NOT because he's hot, although that doesn't hurt). Most Chés I hear just sound too…NICE. Ricky Martin is a prime example, and how that performance earned a Tony nomination is beyond me. The rest of the cast is good, nothing earth-shattering, but a solid cast for a Hollywood film. And our two leading men, Jonathan Pryce and Jimmy Nail, were a real surprise to me when I first saw the film. I had no idea either of them sang at all! I personally bought this for two major reasons: 1) Antonio Banderas, and 2) the orchestrations. Some recordings do compensate for the limitations of a theater orchestra pit by bringing in a larger one for official recordings. But a major Hollywood movie, especially a musical, will almost always have larger orchestras, and ALW's music deserves to be heard this way. If you are planning to purchase just one Evita album, I wouldn't recommend this one--but I say that as someone who enjoys stage musicals, so it depends on your taste. If you have only seen the film, I recommend you at least preview some songs on other recordings before you make your purchase. You may find the more traditional theatre-style of singing not to your liking--or you may fall in love with one of them. You never know. Happy listening!

I have no idea what BwayGirl is saying but.... Antonio Banderes can mispronounce anything and still be sexy as hell. My first musical I ever saw live was evita and it was in Washington dc (at the Warner theater). This musical is truely amazing but having performed in this musical years later and listening to many different variations of the songs, I find that the madonna version is much better quality recording than the 79 album (obviously since they were done so far apart) and I thought that Antonio Banderes did an excellent job with his role (plus that sexy voice of his and his good looks didn't hurt either).

Great!!!. Love this movie and the singing is great!!!
