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!

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

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

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.

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. :)
