Quick review of Evita - Madonna
Review of Evita - Madonna by emma_leigh

If you like the movie then youjust have to get this CD it is amazing. This, in my opinion, is one of the best CDs vocals wise. You can tell she has really trained hard vocally for this part, and she deserved it.

Local Girl Makes Bad
Review of Evita - Madonna by  SueMagee

Advantages: Some very good tracks
Disadvantages: Some pretty poor ones too.

...I can't understand it, you know. I don't like musicals. I don't like Madonna. The tracks swing between the dreadful and the good but this CD is one I play regularly. It's a guilty secret and even I don't know why I do it. It's an original soundtrack recording from the 1996 motion picture, which was based loosely on the life of Maria Eva Duarte de Perón, commonly known as Evita. It's loosely based because the movie and this CD, if you listen to it as a story, will lead you to think sympathetically of Evita, whereas the truth is that she was one of the most hated and powerful women of the age despite having died at the relatively young age of 33. In its turn the movie grew from the nineteen-seventies stage musical of the same name, with lyrics by Tim Rice and orchestration by Andrew Lloyd Webber. As you might expect it... Read review

Madonna, not just the queen of pop.
Review of Evita - Madonna by  rabbitfighter

Advantages: Lots of emotions and antonios Banderas voice
Disadvantages: Mostly slow songs, some depressing

...This soundtrack and film shows a surprising amount of vocal talent for crowned quuen of pop. I have always been a fan but this is the other end of the spectrum formher usuall `holiday` and `whose that girl` days. Maddona shows that she can act a powerful role and hold a powerful and emotional tune which does Andrew Lloyd Webber proud. Every song is full of emotion, songs such as `you must love me`, another suitcase another hall and the classic theme ` don't cry for me argentina'. You almost get wrapped up inthe emotion and feel the triumph but sadness of the charecters. There is the slightly depressing `requiem for evita' but completely fitting for the film. We also have a sample of the lovely Antonia Banderas voice in ` oh what a circus, which he carries of with his lovely ancent, and makes a change from the other slow... Read review

Viva Madonna
Review of Evita - Madonna by  Musica

Advantages: Madonna's stonger voice
Disadvantages: Not Madonna's usual mix of music

...The soundtrack to the screen musical, Madonna certainly shows why she was born to play the part! After having singing lessons, Madonna shows us that her voice is bigger and better than ever. Official not a Madonna album (chart officials class it as an original soundtrack album) she still brings in her own unique style to the album. Outstanding tracks include Buenos Aires, Waltz for Eva & Che and Don't Cry for me Argentina. Although she takes no credit for any of the writing, not even the new song 'You Must Love Me', she takes the music 'by the horns' and gives us possible one of the best soundtrack albums for many years, even if her voice seems to 'crack' in some of the songs. If you're a fan of musicals, you'll love this album!... Read review
