Evita New Broadway Cast Recording - Buenos Aires ft. Ricky Martin, Elena Roger

[@brianeduardo1234]

What I think is great about Ms. Roger and Mr. Martin is that get the Spanish pronunciations so beautifully and naturally it adds a huge amount

[@TheOGKSJ]

Yeah, one thing that annoyed me about the film was Madonna singing "Buenas Aires" the entire time. You would have thought that someone would have corrected her during the process.

[@brianeduardo1234]

thanks for response... went to see Madonna in Sevilla, (sticky and sweet tour) and she did not even bother with a Spanish greeting.. she asked the crowd to sing with her (in English) and when did they not respond (understandably) she called them mother***kers! Charming.

[@brianeduardo1234]

Probably and the concert was not hectic either.. under-rehearsed one night only and it showed that they were not familiar with the venue... thank God for Ms. Roger and Mr. Martin! You are nice man or woman!?

[@TheOGKSJ]

Woman

[@brianeduardo1234]

Good woman!

[@kristoferwilson6593]

I love they got someone who’s actually from Argentina(Buenos Aires in fact)

[@martinpollet]

who???

[@giovannirastrelli9821]

@@martinpollet Elena Roger is from Argentina.

[@justinlunsford7505]

But nobody wants to address the fact that she’s no good…sad to say. I would have rather had an American who can sing immaculately like Patti.

[@WaterlessWatermelon]

@@justinlunsford7505 Elena can very much sing.

[@justinlunsford7505]

@@WaterlessWatermelon I guess that depends on what you think is good…or singing. If you think this is better than anyone else who may have auditioned (remember this is an equity call) then I can only assume that you do not have a lot of experience and are coming from a consumer perspective only, which is, in its own way valid. But no, she is not a talented singer. And I know that the general consensus among people in the field agree. I’m not saying she’s the worst I’ve heard. But no, not notably good. If you’ve heard something of hers that you thought was remarkable in some way, I would love to hear a suggestion!

[@nikkihernandez4912]

Elena's voice is perfect. How do people not like this?

[@marcoqueme2868]

Nikki Gutierrez probably Ricky

[@eugeanastasia1793]

+David S. she is Argentina like my and is perfect for this song ....kisies David and sorry 😉

[@stravadi548]

@nikki gutierrez Her voice is amazing. But her timing with the music is a tad off.

[@亞歷山卓-o3q]

She's perfect for Evita for me, her voice, style and accent, all fit in the character, maybe LuPone has more singing skill, but Roger's portrait's better.

[@irishmuso7129]

Just been listening to a few versions of this musical in preparation for playing in the pit band for a production. I have to say that I disliked her singing ability at first but Elena's performance has grown on me and I now prefer it to the other 'real' singers' versions. Maybe it's just her accent or the standard of musicianship and arrangements on the 2012 Broadway Cast version or the abandon with which she reaches, not always successfully, for some of the high notes. I saw her recently in 'The German Doctor' and she was just as impressive an actress imho. I think however that if given the choice I would chose Patti to hear perform this live.

[@amyepstein4868]

I love how she is enjoying singing this. Then she dances to the music. I think she is wonderful- her acting her portrayal and characterization is skillful and strong. She dances. And her vocals have an edge and rawness. Different from other Evitas , yes. As she should be.

[@MaaiMercado]

RRRRRRRRRRIOOO DE LA PLATA, FLORIDA, CORRRRRRRRRRIENTES , 9 DE JULIO all I want to know! que genia ♥

[@stecky87]

I know Elena Rodgers gets a *lot* of hate, but I have to give her a ton of credit: This is a very difficult part that requires a range that most people don't have & she's singing in a non-native language. She's not my favorite , but credit where credit is due

[@justinlunsford7505]

…but it’s Broadway…you don’t think they could have gotten someone who is an amazing singer?

[@stephers628]

Elena Rodger isn’t bad, but agreed that some of the ranges may be a stretch for her. I love that she is the first Argentinian to represent Eva Peron. I feel her accent adds to the authenticity of the role and she is up there killing it!

[@DocRunaway]

@@justinlunsford7505 did you just listen to the video? They got Madonna for the movie, who could not reach ANY of the high notes. Roger can, I don't see the problem, not in this video at least.

[@AlexeBriand2002]

@@DocRunaway to be fair, they also changed the keys on the movie soundtrack because loud belting doesn’t translate very well in a film. and at least we got an original song no one has ever been able to top since. Madonna in her prime was an amazing singer when it came to ballads.

[@h14hc124]

You could start by spelling her surname name correctly. It's Roger, not Rodgers

[@tipsy9947]

It always surprises me Ricky Martin can act so well. I wish he would do it more.

[@liamcummings5341]

I love how Elena’s just vibing the whole time 😂

[@Abt10321]

Woman conductor- Woohoo! Fantastic version!

[@TheMaestroCraig]

more and more in theatre, which is good... not sure about studios per se.

[@ericanthonylopezofficial]

Kristen Blodgette- ALW’s longtime collaborator- google her. Legend 😍

[@vallauritz311]

Elena is by far the best Evita there has ever been !! She has an amazingly beautiful and powerful voice and the accent adds so much more depth to the character, without the accent it sounds fake. A true porteña!

[@FredHerrman]

That is some serious rhythm going on there.

[@jonathanmartinsegundera2593]

I had goosebumps when she sang the line, "Rio de la Plata, florida, corrientes, Nueve de Julio"... I thought I heard Evita herself... she fits the role to a perfect T...

[@mikehouston6851]

I love the lady leading the music with a pencil.

[@SeaSparklesLP]

I love Elena's voice!!

[@cart172]

Her voice is such a party! Wow!

[@gabefuller5212]

Elena is my favorite Evita. Her voice is ambitious and unhinged. I think it does nothing but ADD to the role.

[@RamonAlfonsoOMAR]

Love her singing in 1:30 And if i ever go to far...

[@hezekiahpabico2688]

Oh please, people hate Elena Rogers and Ricky Martin because they worship Patti Lupone and Ricky came from pop ancestry. Get over it. This is the best version of Buenos Aires ever.

[@TheRealityfades]

+Hezekiah Pabico That is wrong. I like Patti, but don't think she is the omg!best-singer-ever. I don't like Elena because she was very very screechy live. She sounds good on the recording but on Broadway she sounded much different.

[@seranavolkihar]

You're right and you should say it!

[@skips5502]

I just love this video. A big credit to the videographer team for extracting the dynamism of participating musicians, conductor and most of all, the singers. Oh Elena, I love your moves, so cute. You sing with passion and enthusiasm that makes our hearts beat faster. More please !!!

[@ThatsJustMyBabyDaddy]

1:29 One of the most beautiful bridges in Broadway history. ❤️

[@petulioclark2367]

If real Evita would have the chance to sing this song definitelly would sing it and pronounce it like a native Buenos Aires woman like Elena.

[@cfsupporterify]

Incredible cast with a heroically voiced Che (superb Rick Martin) instead of the whiny one in previous recordings. Elena Roger surpasses by a long stretch all previous Evitas, fluent in both English and Spanish; her singing of Don't Cry in Spanish (No llores) is above that of Paloma San Basilio. Also in this release the Latin adjective "aeternum" corrected to "aeternam" to match with the feminine "requiem". Wish this excellent version were released on a blu ray or at least dvd!

[@PS-DLMA]

Did you seriously call Mandy Patinkin whiny????

[@jozedelacruz]

Lo mejor de todo es que soy de Argentina. Que orgullo ! :')

[@ryanbrown7440]

i genuinely prefer this version to any others. totally agree that Elena's voice is integrally worse than many others (like Lupone) but there's something about it that i love. it's authentic (in many ways) and raw. normally i always go with better vocals, but Elena's voice wins me over every time

[@traod8]

I love the raw edge she gave these numbers as well. Elena's voice is actually incredibly versatile. If you haven't already , see if you can find some of her solo albums. Some numbers on them have her singing very gently, without the harsh quality she gave Eva. She's a unique performer.

[@lluna.18]

ricky y elena me ha encantado

[@rhudsonrte66]

Elena is bewdiful. Ricky is bewdiful. The conductor is bewdiful. Even the orgestra is bewdiful. But that boy with the guitar is hot as hell.

[@gparsinen]

I actually watched this in the Marquis Theatre off of Times Square this past July and being able to watch Elena Roger sing the songs on the CD i purchased is absoloutly spectacular. I absoloutly love Evita and I mean it when I say it: Requiem Evita!

[@naokohunter]

I love this soundtrack! It's nice to hear both the Madonna and Ricky Martin versions.

[@StarlightSong1]

Okay please don't attack me because I'm not trying to say Patti LuPone is not amazing and doesn't have talent. Because she is and she does. But I think I prefer this particular version of this song.

[@nasugbubatangas]

This is definitely ELENA ROGER’s song. Every actress who played Evita would have her song. No one would say Elaine Paige sang YOU MUST LOVE ME better than Madonna. Even the most hardcore Evita fan would say that it is MADONNA’s song. Also, “I’D BE SURPRISINGLY GOOD FOR YOU” is definitely Madonna. As for PATTI, I still have to see someone who could sing “A NEW ARGENTINA” better than her. And “DON’T CRY FOR ME ARGENTINA” is definitely ELAINE PAIGE’s.

[@lepetitchat123]

I have to agree. I have heard other versions numerous times over the years, but this version sends chills down my spine. Finally an Argentine singer was cast in the role and she got it right

[@rhudsonrte66]

I want the whole thing in this format. This is much better than that awful Alan Parker documentary with that voiceless dancing girl. This is a version of Evita that wouldn't make me smash the television. I've lost so many televisions trying to watch the Alan Parker doco. Elena is the new Goddess on the block.

[@Bdawg9891]

I agree with that 100%

[@davidepezzi1606]

I agree with you but maybe these little vocal problems contribute to give strength to the character. I don't like Elena's singing but she is undoubtedly a charismatic Evita

[@ActorsWithIssuespodcast]

I think Elena does justice to Evita. She brings in the authenticity and dancing and voice to the role. Patti, in my opinion, will always the best but Elena definitely reaches her level :)
