Nicole Scherzinger: Don't Cry For Me Argentina (2013)

From "Andrew Lloyd Webber: 40 Musical Years", first shown on ITV on March 31, 2013.

[@Michi865]

She's so underrated it's upsetting. She has such an amazing, beautiful, talented, fantastic voice. She's so spectacular.

[@elaine378]

Amy Marie I agree

[@lrc4263]

Elaine Zhao she's definitely not underrated, she chose her career path and she's happy with it. Even in her PCD songs and her solo pop songs she still uses her pipes. But choosing the path that sold the easiest (sexy pop) she opened up opportunities for herself to do things like this. She is more than pleased with what she's done in her life :)

[@elaine378]

that is all very true Laeric Thomas

[@Althalus2010]

I get what you mean, but on the other hand I get what Amy meant. It's like, so many people think that she's a two-bit pop singer, when really she has such a stunning voice and can perform with such beauty and emotion. Yeah, sure, she's probably happy, but it's a shame so many people don't know her true talent.

[@StarlightDreamDolls]

[@henrytudor8537]

ikr? that part killed me!

[@scottnickerson3918]

Totally agree. No version i've ever heard was so passionate and captivating as this. No one else, at least that i have heard, used a Spanish accent on Argentina.

[@Faqyuman]

In my opinion, she pronounced it wrong.

[@franksl1532]

+DaOrigTruthSeeker What????? What are you listening to?? This is better than both Julie's and Madonna's versions.

[@DaOrigTruthSeeker]

Shushanto Bose Madonna is not really a good singer, never was....so your comparison is weak.

[@shushanto]

DaOrigTruthSeeker 1) Madonna sang this song well in the movie 2) Regardless of Madonna or anyone else Nicole sang this incredibly well. She is clearly a trained singer not just an amateur pop singer.

[@DaOrigTruthSeeker]

Shushanto Bose The only way Madonna will ever sing well is if she has auto tune to help her out.

I am a native Argentine.. and we do not pronounce the "T" as an engligh "TH" sound.. so I am not sure why she is pronouncing it that way. The T in Argentina is a strong clear crist T sound. Nevertheless, I love her voice and her interpretation of the song.

[@Freeonthree2]

+Carlos pires Ah the man himself picked her and loved her rendition not the first time she sang for him

[@Larimer_Music]

+Carlos pires Listen to what original? Madonna? ha ha ha! As a vocal instructor with 20+ years of experience and having had students perform this song numerous times over the years, I challenge you to show me exactly where Nicole adds ornaments. And even if she did--This is HER interpretation not yours or how you think it should be interpreted! This isn't a classical aria where the emphasis is put upon singing it technically note for note. This is musical theatre, where its all about the actors' interpretation and their perception of the character. I'm not a Nicole fan, I was honestly looking for a good version to send to a student who is thinking of performing this song for an audition. I had listened to Patti LuPone, Elaine Paige, and Donna Summer sing it. I accidentally clicked on Nicole's version and it caught my attention immediately because of the emotion in her voice in the beginning. I had no idea she had this much talent.

[@nepunibunio2686]

She is on record saying she refused to sell her soul "to the devil". Meaning she stuck to her morals and values in hollywood. Superstardom in Hollywood is GIVEN not necessarily always EARNED! Some of the most talented people never hit it big...And some of the least talented people are mega stars. and FAITH is typically the problem. Her beauty is also a curse. No doubt she was a target of grooming for wealthy executives who wanted a piece. Occult hand signals are done by almost ALL huge artists....which is strange and telling. The industry is ran by the occult hidden in plain sight. Money is an evil when enough of it can buy you almost anything. The sick stories I've heard about the wealthiest in the industry will have you questioning mankind.

What an incredible moment for Andrew Lloyd Webber, to hear his music sung so beautifully. Perfect !

[@olivethis]

Asking a person with a voice like this to sing silly pop music for a living, is like asking Van Gogh to paint by number for his lunch.

[@Megan6772]

Analogy 👏👏👏

[@allenmartin9375]

Perfectly said..

[@LATINHANDS65]

Because she can.

[@gregbrogan9061]

Great analogy! I'm going to have to use that some time... Thanks!

Olivia, I love this lol. I'll steal this van gogh reference 😂

3:30 im OBSESSED with the way her voice cracks (or whatever that was in the beginning of that line), it made it sound even more powerful!

[@karaharrison4334]

wow.... shit the bed. she's got an amazing voice. just saw her doing the Phantom of the Opera which completely amazed me and now I'm on a Nicole Scherzinger mission 😍😍😍😍incredible talent

She is not only a beautiful woman but she has an amazingly beautiful voice. She is so underrated.

[@TheCounsellor11]

If you want an example of perfect, voice, presentation. dress, make up, choreography, just everything, it is a moment, not a song

[@BostonMarcus]

Perfect description. This performance is stunning.

[@pedrofrancochau2643]

Darn you hit the nail on the head, thank you and greetings from Buenos Aires!

[@thomasmuziani805]

WOW!! Finally someone who not only has the pipes...but the acting skills also. Broadway is where she’ll shine.

[@ravenjadevilla6806]

It’s unfortunate that she’s been boxed in by the industry as a pop girl, but what many don’t know is she’s a classically trained vocalist. I agree! Broadway is def where she’ll shine.

[@melbamaloney4572]

Nicole is headed to Broadway where she will have jaws dropping on the floor as Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard. Saw this mesmerizing performance in London last year and will be there again in Broadway . Nicole and the cast and were mind blowing

[@silversurfer100]

She delivers what all the usual gamut of opera singers fail to do, she puts the emotion of a woman pleading into her voice. What makes this performance outstanding are the harder edges, the throatiness when it's called for, and the softness of penance. All those things we would expect to hear from a woman pleading in front of humanity. Truly one of the best performances of this I've ever heard. She didn't sing it, she lived it.

[@henrytudor8537]

I love her to bits. but callas also puts more emotion to operas. if h haven't watched any callas, I suggest u do.

[@ALHack29]

This is musical theater, not opera. Opera singers don’t sing this. Take a quick KZbin search and you get Pati lupone, lea solanga, Madonna etc. definitely not opera singers. Opera style and technique are very different from musical theater style and technique and should not be compared. Opera singers don’t use microphones to enhance their voice so, singing as this lovely lady did so masterfully is out of the question. They have to sing in a way that allows them to be heard over an orchestra on every note in their range. So your not going to get that grittiness and naturalness that can come from a musical theater sound. However, Nicole was trained classically which shows in the warmth and even support of her voice. No nasality and harshness that you hear so much now. She sang this splendidly. Bravo Nicole.

[@bloop1980]

Opera and musicals are two different things.

[@avogue7831]

Performance worthy of a standing ovation!

[@kellytift6578]

[@karant1378]

This is her absolute best performance. The delicate soft ending to phrases, how she's caressing every small note with such detail and lending emotion to every word. Absolutely breathtaking.

[@frankmisaege3520]

Nicole is stunning as is this beautiful rendition of a timless song. Bravo!!

[@MySaudiboy]

a very professional and excellent singer. great performance.

[@stephencraig5938]

I loved her phrasing.. 'specially the Latin lisp on Argentina.

[@osco4311]

A fantastic touch, and a perfect way to embody the story behind the music.

[@borissibor2638]

[@RoyaleExtreme]

@@OpiumBride Ariana Grande isnt the best example, shes pretty incredible live too. Katy Perry is more of a corporate product.

[@Kevinschart]

i never knew she was actually a power house singer until today.

[@kso4068]

She's a classically trained opera singer so this has always been her thing. I personally think she should do this and what ever else makes her happy!! She's incredibly talented!!

[@sarahholland1375]

She turned Andrew's offer to do Evita on Broadway down, to do XFactor. Easy, instant money over long term serious artist recognition & a fortune in spin off musical albums & collabs with the Alfie Boe's etc of musical theatre. Odd. Musical theater not cool enough? Judging talent shows pays well but it's not a respected career.

[@Alnajir-c4c]

Watching 2024❤❤❤

[@tiyyakeys]

Wow...I didn't realize that she could sing so well! She should be on Broadway!!

[@Crazyjedi2]

she is the singer the in the Broadway play CATS

[@TheRealityfades]

+Crazyjedi2 CATS isn't on Broadway here in NY. It's playing in London only, currently.

[@givdrvr]

I think Attiya means that Nicole is gifted enough to grace any of numerous productions currently on Broadway

[@ptashkaful]

OMG she is stunning! What a beauty. And so elegant and classy looking. It's a great rarity nowadays. She looks like a model from 1950s Vogue magazine. Lovely voice too...

[@TheClassicalAngel]

ptashkaful she is stunning but she wouldn't be in a vogue magazine in the 1950 because of the racism back then

[@UnpleasantSim]

She definitely didn’t look like that during her uh.. Pussycat Dolls phase. I suppose she grew up!

[@TheTurulhawk]

Somehow she reminds me of a brunette Baroness Schraeder from the Sound of Music, with that voluptuous figure and narrow eyebrows. Yes, she's very beautiful and hugely talented.

[@TheTurulhawk]

@helen h A matter of opinion. I thought it was a beautiful, elegant dress. As for breasts "swimming" out of the dress, that style has been reappearing for hundreds of years. It's not likely to go away any time soon. Certainly there's some dresses that are just plain trashy, even with straps or full sleeves. I just saw my voice teacher perform today, wearing an off-the-shoulder gown, very tasteful and modest. I thought she looked gorgeous.

[@394bowser]

4:28 - Her resonance is IMMACULATE!

[@deirdreloraine5653]

The best The most beautiful The strongest clearest voice Absolutely breath taking performance

[@karinasmirniff]

I have always thought Nicole was gorgeous and her pop tunes are catchy but overly sexy for no reason. To find out she has a voice like this and to see her personality on X Factor as a judge......its just mind blowing. Mad respect.

[@helentaylor4649]

She actually has a big heart too:)

[@JaniceWaters-yv8jh]

Best version of this song I have ever heard

[@chandreshlefevre3034]

Always said that Nicole was criminally underrated but this performance was next level. Could hear a pin drop. Her whole presence and vocals command the room. AMAZING

[@MeganFoley-k9n]

No matter how many times I listen to this version it never ceases to amaze me how amazing very voice truly is

[@MRG09100]

I'm looking at her skin and I can see she's not pale. I'm looking at her hair and I can see she's not blonde. But I can't help seeing Eva Perón herself. It only happens when a true talent works its magic.

[@setialphasix]

My thoughts EXACTLY. ALW needs to get busy with an all-new production of "Evita" starring THIS girl! Yep, let's just go ahead and retcon Madonna Evita, lol.

[@stopthelies4249]

MRG09100 I’m sorry to let you know that Eva Peron is not white she died her hair blonde and she avoided the sunI believe she captured her perfectly as is.

[@stopthelies4249]

MRG09100 Because she is an authentic Latino

[@CARRIEFITER]

@@stopthelies4249 That's not how it works, genius. Latinos come in all skin colors, because it only refers to a geographical region, not a race. An "authentic latino" can be blonde with blue eyes or black with thick curly black hair. Educate yourself.

[@angelmagalit8135]

Shes half filipino half German, not latino

[@lisamontoni6421]

Presence that is absolutely locked on, don't move, commanding......Flawless rendition! Chills. Goosebumps. Mesmerized. Deserves so much more! Claiming it for her.

Probably my favourite live performance by an artist ever. Period. I always find I come back to this because of how perfect it is, and how it’s as though this is the last song she will ever sing. Just speechless!

[@lartisteautravail]

Holy cow. I grew up with the Madonna version and I loved the song, but Nicole's rendition has meat on it and will keep satisfied much longer.

[@p.m.6064]

@@denisebetegh7659Madonna‘s version isn’t a single performance out of context, it’s a performance for a movie. And the way she sang it suited the way she and the movie director decided to portray Evita perfectly. This performance by Nicole here is magnificent but it wouldn’t have worked in the movie. Neither would have Patti LuPone‘s way of performing the song.

[@fayenance7454]

I think Madonna did a good job, this version is a little faster than what I've heard before. I like it but she's no Julie Covington.
