The songbook is familiar to a generation of theater-goers. Antonio Banderas is at least as good a singer as John Travolta was in Grease. And there are three star turns from the Material Girl–the celebrated “You Must Love Me,” as well as “Don’t Cry for Me, Argentina,” and “Another Suitcase in Another Hall.” –Jeff Bateman

I am a big Madonna fan and all , but this album is just plain horrible all the songs are really horid and resemble “Phantom of the Opera” or some other Broadway musical–dont waste your money on this crap if you are a Madonna fan, buy it if you are a musical fan

She never had any talent, and she never will, either.

As usual, You have all these people that think Madonna is great. Not only is the music grotesque, but so is the acting. Broadway music at its worst. Madonna cannot sing or act. Her only talent is how to manipulate young teenyboppers into buying her CD’s. Madonna wishes she was Barbara Streiand.

OK, HERE’S THE DEAL. THIS CD IS NOT VERY GOOD AT ALL. I LIKED THE ORIGINAL PATTIE LuPONE VERSION MUCH BETTER. SEE, I’M NOT SAYING MADONNA IS A BAD SINGER, SHE JUST CAN’T SING FOR THE PART OF EVA PERON. AND I DON’T KNOW WHO PLAYED THE PART FOR CHE, BUT HE DID AWFUL AT IT. HE’S SUPPOSED TO SOUND LIKE A COOL GUY WHO HAS TO DECIDED A LOT. THIS GUY MADE IT SO YOU CAN HEAR THE LYRICS TOO CLEAR. I MEAN, I KNOW THERE IS NO DIOLOUGE IN EVITA, BUT THERE ISN’T DIOLOUGE IN JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR OR CATS EITHER. HE SOUNDED LIKE HE WAS SOOOOOOO TIRED AND SOOOOOO BORED.
OH YEAH, AND THE ACCENTS ARE AWFUL. COME ON! THIS STORY TAKES PLACE IN SOUTH AMERICA! NOT NEW YORK OR PENNSILVANA! ALSO, MADDONA SOUNDED LIKE SHE WAS TALKING WHEN SHE WAS SU PPOSED TO BE SINGING. EXAMPLE, BUNIOUS AIRES IS A WONDERFUL COLORFUL SONG. WHEN PATTIE LuPONE SANG IT, IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS TIME RICE EVER WROTE. THIS VERSION WAS BAD AND SOUNDED LIKE A 9 YEAR OLD WAS SINGING IT A PROM OR FOR MONEY. ANOTHER EXAPLE:A NEW ARGENTINA IS MY FAVORITE SONG IN THE SCORE. THIS VERSION SOUNDED LIKE PEOPLE WERE CRYING AND MOPPING, AND humma…jummana…WHEN PATTIE LuPONE SANG IT, IT WAS SOOOOOOO GREAT AND AWSOME, I’VE BEEN SINGING IT TO MYSELF FOR WEEKS. THIS VERSION SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS FROM BATMAN. IF YOU ARE STILL READING THIS REALLY LONG REVIEW, YOUR PROBOBLY THINKING WHY I GAVE IT A 2. WELL, I THOUGHT MADDONA DID AN EXELLENT JOB SINGING DON’T CRY FOR ME ARGENTINA. DO NOT BUY THIS CD IF YOU HAVN’T SEEN PATTIE LuPONE’S FABULOUSE VERSION. BUY THAT CD FIRST. GOODNIGHT NEW YORK!

Madonna’s weak attempt at repriseing the role that rightfully belongs to Patti Lupone is pitiful. Antonio Bandaras though easy on the eyes can’t live up to mandi Patinkin
