Vocal Coach Reacts to Madonna 'You Must Love Me' LIVE 69th Academy Awards

[@jtrover]

Regardless of skill or technique, Madonna really does have an incredible ability to really make you feel what's she's singing. There's some technically perfect singers that can't even do that.

[@andreasnorlen2002]

I have never ever seen a technically better singer like Streisand, Lupone or Ellen Page bring the emotion and a beliveable Evita like Madonna did.

[@ManuelLopez-vo5qp]

She's bad, that's all. 😁

[@benj7100]

@@andreasnorlen2002 Agree- I much prefer her performance to Lupone’s; far more engaging and better at conveying emotion.

[@aab8429]

That is so true

[@robertfraser9873]

She may not be the best or strongest technical singer but she can convey emotions using her voice. When she sings the final couple of songs in the movie where Eva is dying people in the movie theatre actually were crying. Glad that Billy Crystal commented on her being over looked by the Academy. When she won the best actress award at the Golden Globes people assumed that the academy would at least short list her. ❤️❤️

[@moisessena1307]

She's not the best but she is the greatest. All respect to Madonna.

People forget that what it makes you unique is not a great voice... its what that voice transmit... she sings a lot better that what people think

[@karlochamorro7885]

This performance made me cry when I saw it that night it aired. Definitely proved to the naysayers she can sing

[@dirkandi]

🤣🤣🤣

[@kristianberg4264]

It truly is one the most underrated & under appreciated vocal transformations, she had during Evita of any artist. If you go back to her vocals throughout the 80’s / 90’s, this woman’s growth is stunning. I get so tired of people saying “She doesn’t have the best voice”, instead of celebrating her tremendous growth. Love this reaction, so happy you appreciate it.

[@FuckVirginMary]

The mistake that people made was comparing Madonna to other singers. Madonna has a unique style of singing and making music that is all of her own. She also has a unique voice. She is her own creation. What make Madonna's ballads great is her ability to sing with emotions. You can hear and feel the raw pains in her voice. Sometimes the best singers don't have the ability to allow their emotions and vulnerability to come through their songs. You just hear them singing loudly and hitting all the right notes, but there are no feelings or emotions behind it. They are so focus on hitting the high notes correctly, that they forgot to put feelings and emotions into their songs.

[@NeilChase-r1z]

Madonna's vocal ability is shunned because she has sold 200 million more than any other female artist, and those others have more extraordinary voices. however, madonna can sing better than most.

[@Dr_Madonna]

Her performing that night was a big deal, everyone thought she would not attend because she was snubbed for the Oscar nomination, but she showed class and stuck with the film right until the very end AND performed in front of the lions den to the entire academy that didn't vote for her. Major respect, and double major respect for her debuting a live performance of a song from the Evita soundtrack for the very first time ... and it won the Oscar.

[@davidcrazyrides]

How did she not win for this it's crazy I know Madonna isn't same as she used be now but this performance was really good

[@cocochansel]

This is one, if not the most vulnerable live performances Madonna has givin & I have seen every performance Madonna has given since my 5th birthday. Even after not being nominated for the rightful award, she showed amazing class & gave one of the most heart felt performances of all time by a female vocalist & proved her point. She can not denied. A living legend- Long Live the Queen of Pop!

[@Kongkos]

I don't know a shit about notes and music and staffs like these. All I know even when I was a child is that the voice of this woman makes my heart beats like a drum. And she is the only singer that I can recognize on radio. I hear about great voices bla bla bla but who realy cares? If Madonna's voice put an arrow in your heart then it's the best voice of the world.

[@mrqs1549]

I feel the same about her.

You're right, not just about Madonna for me. It's the emotional connection the person has to the song and the way it makes others feel

[@adambensouda5886]

The song won the Oscar for best song! Wasn’t written by her but she brought it to life

[@siennatgirl]

But it was written for her which is as good

[@ibelser_4325]

I’ve always had an appreciation for Madonna’s voice, especially throughout the 90’s, she’s an artist that works hard at what she wants to succeed in. And that is a real talent to achieve what you work so hard for. 😍❤️

[@M4DGESTY]

She’s back with more Madonna content!!! Could you react to Sooner or Later (Oscars 1991)

Madonna always sounds different. When she sings ballads, she invests so much emotion into them. It's one of the things william orbit has always said about her.

[@alexq3532]

Damn you just made me open my eyes and ears… she invests so much emotion!

[@BJcatq]

I loved the old madonna girly vocals from her early days… but she’s one artist that had beautifully evolved and IS a great singer now with a few hiccups here and there. but this one was her best!

[@scottgarbo1288]

Yes, Madonna, we love you ❤ There are no other artists, female or male, who can inspire an audience through such diverse music like Madonna can, whether it's her timeless dance songs or beautiful, moving ballads like "You Must Love Me" or "Take a Bow." Sure, Madonna is not technically the best singer but there is an emotional quality to her voice that transcends technical perfection. That's the quality that connects with her millions and millions of fans.

[@ricar5113]

Madonna certainly isn´t the best vocalist, but she definitely is the best artist ever.

[@brucebannerlondon190]

Her vocals were good enough for me! Not everybody could be Christina or Whitney.

[@jbashful]

I received the Evita soundtrack as a gift when it came out and listened on repeat. Did not actually see the movie until recently. I felt I had already seen it the soundtrack was so good!

[@kirkrelf1402]

I was so angry when Madonna bought the rights to produce Evita. And then she did this. An astounding performance that changed how I looked at her immense talent. I always said that she was a performer, but not a singer. Everything she did in Evita changed my mind. I now treasure her. I've always been a bit of a contrarian when it comes to pop culture, categorically rejecting certain genres. Not only is this emotive for the Evita persona but it also is emotive for Madonna. I hear both of them singing this song. And I must love her.

[@nathanieljohnson5908]

She's not just any other pop singer. She's different and unique

[@ashleyfrost8906]

Beautiful comment ✨

[@thomasofarabia]

First of your videos that's interested me in ages. More Madonna please.

[@mrbooklover1032]

I love how this song works in two ways. You can sing it as Eva desperately demanding Perón's love, but you can also sing it as Eva realizing that Perón actually loves her despite her flaws.

[@grahamturner288]

Totally this. A lot of people seem to overlook the (intentional) double meaning. It’s since been added to the stage version of most productions and when I saw it again in that context it seems that there’s another layer: that, as well as Perón, she’s also singing it to the people of Argentina too. That, they too, must have loved her to stay true during the good and bad times. In that way I think it bookends the ‘I love you and hope you love me...’ sentiment from ‘Don’t Cry For Me Argentina’.

[@neo2764]

So beautiful and vulnerable. Should’ve been nominated for an Oscar for Evita!

[@paulgrande1090]

One special thing about Madonna is how good she sounds a cappella. The last three notes after the orchestra ends are particularly beautiful

[@QRIOART]

Highly agree! Essence. And self awareness.

[@MCMNasty2]

Always give mad props to Madonna. She was never a lip syncher. She sang live all the time and she always was performing her face off.

[@Heidenheim75]

She lyp synced the complete Berlin Concert in Berlin on her Sticky and sweet tour. She just spoke a few words "live" during her songs. And you could here the difference.

[@jjcm2771]

I can't help but wonder if some of that emotion being strung into this live performance was coming from a place of hurt, especially after being passed over for a nomination to one, if not, her best performances as the role of Eva Perron. Her vocals, along with the emotion strung into each lyric was incredible here and to see it done so vulnerably was chilling and heart-wrenching.

[@seanp7dc]

Yay a Madonna review! Madonna was so nervous for this performance. Aside from the 'me' choice that Georgina pointed out, it was flawless. The final 'me' was beautiful. But there was so much emotion at the right stages throughout this performance - spectacular. She'll never sing like this again, so enjoy it!

[@thefirm4606]

She’s not the best singer, but by far at the forefront of what she does. She’s in a class of her own.

[@joachimwebster7699]

Hey Georgina - Billy Crystals opening remarks were edited. What he actually said after 'showing a great deal of class' was 'Here to sing 'Don't Cry For Me Cause I'll Get Back At You If It Takes Me The Rest Of My Life', the one and only Madonna!

[@mikerickard2434]

I had forgotten about this performance, but it is indeed one of her best performances EVER! One thing to remember about her - she ALWAYS gets incredibly nervous when performing at awards shows, which I think showed a little at the beginning. But the dynamics and technique she used here…beautiful!!

[@cizar2000]

Although her vibrato is historically bad and worsened by emotional condition, the most important thing was not mentioned, is that she sang with differences in intensity, she got the first part softer, giving strength and power in the second part when she repeats the higher notes. Dynamics is always a challenge in performances with orchestras and I live there.

[@jimiweir923]

madonna was my school project too...90s kidz

I remember seeing an interview of Barbra Streisand giving High compliment to Madonna for this performance

[@charlesr63]

I still get emotional when I watch this and I’ve seen it countless times. She did a phenomenal job with Evita, singing, dancing, acting, promoting, all while becoming a mother for the first time. This performance just wrapped that all up even though the snooty Academy didn’t recognize her. I know people say she’s not technically the best vocalist but her voice has always been amazing to me.

[@robertzielinski2475]

I'm a big Madonna fan too. However, my favorite performance from her is "Sooner or later" from another Oscars 91'.

She should have been nominated. Heartbreaking performance. It’s literally a death song and she was able to convey pain so wonderfully through her tone. She did win for this song though.

Madonna is severely underrated bc her tone is so beautiful and allows her to transition from genre to genre and it all works unlike many technically superior vocalists with larger vocal ranges. She also has incredible emotive qualities that many lack and artistic visionary qualities that make her the greatest female artist and entertainer of all time. I love Mariah and Whitney but always find myself listening to Madonna far more especially her 3 90s masterpieces Erotica, Bedtime Stories and Ray of Light. She truly made nothing but brilliant albums up to 2012 (although I do like 2015s Rebel Heart).
