Patti LuPone Rainbow High

[@burlybear1963]

She's a monster. A fabulous Broadway monster. Bow down to Patti. X

[@zebrastreet9993]

She definitely is a monster all right and no I won’t, ever

[@KryptoniteStuff]

I don't understand people who don't get Patti Lupone. This is Broadway 101. Old fashioned way. She takes a song and NAILS it. I adore her.

[@Goldie4tv]

I don't think, at least I've never heard than Evita had mental problems and was hysteric as she portrays her

[@mr.crumbie3866]

SHES BOONKED ON COCAINE

[@xq280764]

Nails it?! WTF? She fuckin acts like Godzilla while singing this! Lmfao ..and SHE'S FLAT on a note or two! Please tell me you're joking.

[@xq280764]

What a fuckin CRACKPOT! Up until this moment I thought it was Madonna who lacked talent. This woman is definitely NOT RIGHT IN THE HEAD! Madonna's the one who nailed it. ..just ask the critics who's opinions count like um.. Andrew Lloyd-Webber, Tim Rice, Gene Siskel, Roger Ebert.

[@yoututubus]

She's just screaming this out of her throat as if she was drunk. Don't like it at all! Madonna's interpretation was beautiful and powerful.

[@jacobsamples5480]

She is f*cking incredible...her stage presence is ridiculously strong...she managed to keep her feet planted the entire time and still command the stage. I don't think people realize how hard it is to do that..

[@mr.crumbie3866]

Jacob Samples its easier when you're on cocaine

[@ChocolAnimeV4]

This is my favorite performance of this song, brings chills. She puts tons of energy in it, her strong voice makes your bones vibrate. She is a star, and a true diva, you just need to look at her eyes to realize it. Outstanding vitality, she's an inspiration of how a true performer should use his passion.

[@clacla336]

This performance of Patti Lupone of rainbow high is now my whole personality

[@betterversionn]

Holy hell, what tf did I just watch? I've seen the movie a few times, and even saw the show on broadway about 10 years ago, and it's almost like I've never seen it before? Why oh why have I never seen Evita with Patti LuPone?! That one performance puts a totally different spin on the character that I've never seen before. That was amazing.

[@evangee423]

Back in the day when people ACTUALLY performed live. The woman has pipes like nobody in the history of Broadway.

[@robcrisall787]

Except for Elaine Paige

[@andyvanm1]

Ethel Merman really sang

[@oldvlognewtricks]

@@robcrisall787 Elaine was slowly killing her voice - the comparison doesn’t hold

[@dohaperson1]

None of you get it. She's not singing it the way she sang it on stage. She's taken a song totally out of context, minus the back-up singers and is just singing the hell out of it for fun. It's the version from her night club act and no she isn't screaming. If she sang it the same way wherever she went it would get boring.

[@lamiserehq3031]

Correct. While it is similar to how she actually sang it onstage it is also purposely played up. Onstage, she is getting dressed in a quick-change sequence during this song. Here, she just standing there and I'm sure she wanted to inject some extra Ooomph! since it's now all about her and not her and the staging, costumes, lighting, show. With that talent, I don't blame her one bit, hehe.

[@chrisayala4507]

Yes she did a different take but no the less her conviction and the level of sound she is abil to reach is truly outstanding. She did this night after night live for years

[@xq280764]

She's FUCKING SCREAMMMMINNNNG!

[@enderdogzzz]

The way she sings just consumes my whole being... extremely appealing and attractive

[@ameliamooneyham6935]

She couldn't be any more wonderful !! And for all of you that are saying she overdid this performance, she played it the way the directors wanted her too for over 1700 performances !! So, If I were her, I would want to change things up a bit too, and I personally think she did it marvelously!!

[@Oldag75]

Wonderful. It is extremely interesting, hearing her sing this rendition without the background vocals (eyes hair mouth figure etc etc). A great performance.

[@Jackie-cw7qz]

Not only is she an amazing performer and a great person but also insanely beautiful. I seriously can’t

[@tamerlano]

Coke fueled performances are really amazing. They are intoxicating.

[@IanThaddiam]

She was rainbow high. :-)

I think I've watched this a million times. GENIUS.

[@Cc-is3is]

she is amazing in every way her vocals alone then put her acting skills on top....

[@aragon77]

If people think she's over the top. Well, they don't know Broadway. It's different than acting in movies or TV. She did great!

[@chrisayala4507]

Out standing these people in the audience had no idea what was installed for them. Outstanding

[@paigemckay5917]

Patti is the ultimate broadway queen

[@analyzeit6882]

I went to see Evita the year it hit Broadway. I was excited about seeing Mandy Patinkin who I was familiar with, but then I saw Lupone. I had not seen her before, I think she did mostly off-Broadway. I absolutely loved her performance. I thought that she was amazing.

[@mothcub]

I love her so much!

[@t77777]

"So Lauren Bacall me"... Lauren Bacall passed away just yesterday. Playing this song thinking of her.

[@icypeanutpolo]

Agreed, but there is a better version available than this one

[@alexi8741]

Lol I’m her memoir she said she was high on coke when she did this performance.

[@sheismymom]

she was a major coke head

[@justess797]

I adore her honesty tho! Everyone would have denied it

[@osahju914]

What show is this on? How did you know it was this performance lol

[@alexi8741]

[@osahju914]

Alex I apparently it was Merv Griffin. I guess she didn’t mention it by name. I was just curious how you knew it was this one

[@rickram1961]

[@MistressMary...22-u9j]

[@scotty3034]

This is what's called a montage folks. And she was really the only Evita besides the actual Evita.....

[@osahju914]

Montage? Isn’t that when they combine clips?

[@snc0023]

Maybe homage...??

[@Stoni_Mitchell]

Patti is badass.

[@danielbaskins6601]

You can defend Madonna all you want but this is the way it's suppose to sound. If you want to know what Andrew intended then listen to Patti and Elaine. They went through the process of having the role written for them. Yes Madonna sounds good, but as far as Evitas go she sucked. She changed the keys for like half the song and didn't literally anything. The entire novelty of the show is that it helped revolutionize Broadway belting. Patti is QUEEN

[@MatheusOliveira-sw5zj]

Que maravilhosa 😍😊👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@wokeisnonsense]

I think she just slayed Madonna.

[@RockinDaBoombox]

SLAYED? lol. You could barely make out a word Lupone was singing. I can't imagine a 2hr movie with this kind of singing. Everyone and their mom knows Madonna was fantastic in Evita. Her voice had never sounded better. This performance looks like something that the anything BUT born this way singer, Gaga, would do. Lupone and Goobs are for Broadway and lounges. Nothing wrong with that, but Goober completely lacks any of the 'it' or X factor to be a pop star. Tis why her pop star burnt out in 2011.

[@joshuablauvelt9662]

You're comparing apples to oranges. They both brought something different to each role. I also saw Patti as strong, commanding Latin woman, unapologetic, telling her people how things were gonna be, she made it out of poverty and was never looking back, whereas Madonna seemed more vulnerable, seeking the love of her people, seeking validation and permission, who couldn't quite shake her poor roots. Madonna's Evita got swept up by what was going on, whereas Patti's CAUSED it.

[@mx4690]

TRENT You might need to have your ears checked.

[@Chaneloweenz]

Trent Totally LMAO NO Madonna sucked! She can’t act she’s a hell of a performer though like in her concerts. She can sing but her singing ability isn’t good enough for musical theatre.

[@echeleteich3347]

A master class....no pun intended since she did Master Class on Broadway. She is Broadway royalty.

[@ariannewingard1660]

Well than, there needs to be a villain song on Steven Universe and this woman needs to sing it.

I don’t really care for Miss Lupone’s peculiar vocal style, but I think her performance, here, is the best I’ve heard of this song.

[@CRISFREEWAY]

EVEN THOUGH I THINK PATTI IS ONE OF THE MOST TALENTED MUSICAL ACTRESSES OF ALL TIME I THINK THE DIRECTOR ASKED HER TO BE JUST TOO MUCH, MAKING A PARODY OF EVITA. IT WAS SIMPLY OVER THE TOP. BESIDES THAT PATTI IS OUTSTANDING

[@ciociosan]

Electrifying.

[@lisas5211]

The BEST OF SONDEHEIM BROADWAY

[@sherstinearsenian7857]

I am laughing reading these comments because they’re either one extreme or the other (love her or hate her). There’s no denying she’s super talented, but I have to agree that this performance is overdone. She is a diva. Watch her KZbin video in which she stops the performance of Gypsy to yell at audience members using cellphones.

[@sheismymom]

she was on cocaine

[@augmentedcarmen]

Yellow Diamond got some pipes!

[@Ebokm9]

you can't even put Madonna in the same category as Patti...Madonna's Evita was more than underwhelming. Patti's Eva is timeless. #checkit

[@utoo87]

+Kobe McKelvey Sorry, but Patti's singing hurts my ears...and her expressions make the song osund "dumb and silly"

[@Goldie4tv]

I don't think, at least I've never heard than Evita had mental problems and was hysteric as she portrays her

[@paulft272]

Patti sounds like an angry Jewish mother from Brooklyn. SHe sings the same way on every song. MAdonna brought humanity to the character. Not to mention, she looks a lot like Eva did.

[@ellisc3466]

PAUL FT u know this song was literally written for Patti, right?

[@AngelofMusic04]

Each works for their respective mediums. Patti is a larger than life Eva for Broadway and Madonna is an intimate presence for film.

[@kojikicklighter371]

Why is she yelling and dropping the end of the "high?" She's slouching the note into an awkward flat tone. Cringe. This isn't even good karaoke. Patti's voice is harsh and lacks music/depth. I'm baffled.

[@Haper]

What a disaster, no feelings at al, vocal frying! My god

[@alleneck7074]

She called madonna box office poison with dead eyes, at least she doesn't sound like she snorted 3 lines before singing ...

[@sheismymom]

she did more than 3 trust

[@ScrapNfight]

She's singing it too fast and without the backup chorus. It's basically trampling on both the lyrics and the melody.

[@jamesroman9576]

Christ almighty. She's taking this song and beating everyone over the head with it!! Broadway or not, this is overdoing it.

[@iceroby72]

Patti... LESS is the key.

I prefer Julie Covington the 'original Evita' (albeit only on the concept album.) Her voice was so soft and delicately emotional.

[@mikejr41387]

[@fergusmurray1828]

You’d be surprised how many ‘straight’ plays LuPone has done. She received a lot of criticism from critics when she returned to non-musicals after Evita.

[@LUCIANON25]

[@jordanhillier3837]

at 1:06 it sounded like she messed up a note

[@Tanishasays]

She’s waiting for the music to catch up

[@joemarchese5219]

Terrible acting, horrid phrasing, words running into each other, slurring vocal delivery and style, strange and ugly tones. There is no beauty in this voice. Just power. The unpleasant characteristics mentioned above are deployed in every song she sings. Has absolutely no understanding of different shades, colors or nuance when singing. She is even worse on faster songs. She is dead behind the vocal chords.

[@diesel6888]

Not a fan all I can here is a load of screeching! Can’t hear the words lol

she never felt Evita. she shouts like Omen!!!! Madonna has less strong voice but as also Webber said she was better that anyone!
