they show Barbara Streisand when he is saying the intro because she refused to sing her song because she was't nominated where Madonna went gladly.....Madonna is a class act.
Exactly, and also you know , she wasnt nominated , just for total jealousy of the rest of the actors, who very happy were after the show in her big oscar party, , so fake people, MADONNA, deserves a nomination at least, it was the performance of her life, and Hollywood was afraid of her.
MrKomninakis And you know what? Immediately after the nominations were announced and she wasn't nominated Madonna contacted the shows producers and told him she wanted to sing, as Billy pointed out. She is a class act indeed.
Streisand only sang twice at the Academy Awards show. In 1977 when she won an Oscar for Evergreen (love theme from A Star is Born) which she wrote with Paul Williams, and in 2014, when she sang The Way We Were in the "in memorian" segment, as a tribute to her long time friend Marvin Hamlisch, who wrote that song with Alan&Marilyn Bergman. She didn't sing The Way Were in 1974, How Lycky Can You Get. (Funny Lady) in 1976, Papa Can You Hear Me / The Way He Makes Me Feel (YENTL) in 1984 and I Finally Found Someone (The mirror has two Faces) in 1997, because , somehow, she knew none of those songs would win. The Way We Were, did win an Oscar, but it was for Hamlisch and the Bergmans. She did sing Evergreen because she knew she was going to win and receive the Oscar.
Imagine how nerve racking that must be as a pop star who has been slated for years for her vocal ability and then not nominated. I'm front of the world of Hollywood. I for one thought she was brilliant
This wonderful performance came after vocal coaching with Joan Lader for 'Evita' film, but I have always felt Madonna has excelled at big emotional ballads (Live to Tell, Oh Father, Something to Remember, to name a few) filling them with emotion/feeling/heart, that can be missing from some other (considered) better singers. Well done Madonna! Simply amazing?
I agree, this is the best performance of You must love me, whits such an emotional avalanche, all that Broadway stars who sing better were not close to this.
I would add her evocative cover of Love Doesn’t Live Here Anymore (the music video version) to her excellent ballads (it’s also included in her ballad compilation album of Something To Remember).
WOW... just wow this is why she excepted the invatation to slience & stun the crowd in eqaul doses ! this era was the turning point for Madonna & Evita paved the way for the Epic Rayoflight 3 years later. 💜 Nothing but love
Madonna is such a very professional performer. She accepted their invitation in the Oscars even she wasn't nominated. A big slap for Barbra Streisand. 😂😂😂 I love Madonna forever!
Unnecessary. Barbra wasn't going to attend, so Natalie Cole rehearsed her song, but then fell ill. Barbra decided to attend last minute and offered to sing but Celine had already rehearsed it.
@@germartamor4735 The guy next to her is James Brolin, her husband. To me, it looked like he was hamming it up for the camera in an effort to embarrass her and she said, “stop it.” Who knows but that’s what it seemed like to me.
Beautiful Madonna! I love you 😍 great performance! you never needed awards and approvals from the critics to become the best selling female artist in history! Your performance in Evita was amazing! and your name say everything... Madonna... 👑🙌❤️😍😘
I bought the Evita soundtrack, watched the film, loved a few tracks, but this song seemed to escape me back in 1996. I remember a friend of mine raving about it and the lyrics. It's not until now that the greatness of the song has caught my attention. Wonderfully written song.
Evita is undoubtedly her FINEST filmed work, and she was in top vocal form for this performance. VERY touching. It almost felt like she was singing to the audience as a thank you for at LEAST recognizing her by giving her the Golden Globe for her work in Evita. ❤️ Madonna. She made me VERY PROUD of tackling ALW to begin with, and I ❤️'d her as Eva Peron.
Um… she was nervous the first half of this performance and knocked it out of the park the second half. Starting with an ‘Um’ diminishes her vocal ability during this performance, which is catty and typical. She did great and sounded great. Period.
Sheer perfection! to think Babs was in the audience. Im sure this was a nerve-wracking moment for Madonna but she pulled this off magnificently. Bravo Madonna. PS. I think Billy Crystal is a huge Madonna fan :)
Andrew Lloyd Webber and Stephen Sondheim shares the same birthday and their ONLY Oscars were sung by Madonna. Also, both Sondheim and Lloyd Webber only had good things to say about her.
Transition & reinvention takes time & talent...It's madonna's unpredictability to being held down & kept in a box that Scares the haters the most. But it's also the main reason we all love her so much more👑
Madonna has such great versatility with her music. She can make very danceable upbeat songs and at the same time, she can sing very heartfelt and emotional love songs. Very few artists have this ability. A lot of singers only make good love songs or only make good high energy songs, but Madonna can do both equality good.
69th awards and Madge repeatedly says you must love her in a bigger-than-life Bob Mackey-esque gown (despite her lack of nomination). Life is such a stage!!!
Being selected from many great & aspiring actors to play the part, Getting the approval, respect & honor from Andrew Llyod Webber, Tim Rice & Alan Parker is a big Win to Madonna even though the Academy snub her great performance. She doesn't need the voice of Patti Lupone but she's a great story teller & performer that touches the heart of many viewers.
I’ve always said there may be people who are technically better vocalists but she has something that many of them don’t - a distinctive voice. You know it’s her when you hear her.
@@zivo24 nailed it. She's far from being even remotely mentioned in the same bracket as other famous singers but when you hear her sing you distinctly know it's Madonna❤
Barbara Streisand, Goldie Hawn, Bette Midler and Diane Keaton ALL made fun of Madonna on National Television as if they were indestructible. Cut to 2020 and Madonna will forever be remembered for her contribution to world culture than any of those has-been "artists".
Nervous as hell. We can notice that by her voice. The first verses she is so nervous her voice shakes. But it's ok, it's very difficult to sing at the Oscars. All you're the industry is there watching you. Especially those who don't like you. And it's broadcast to the whole world. Madonna is beautiful and I like her voice very much.
I feel like she was just delivering the song as it’s intended. Eva Perón in this moment of the musical is so broken and feels useless to her country now that she’s been diagnosed with metastatic cancer. Either way, she fucking nailed it!
Wise words just i wanted to say, and yes , she really felt the song , and the emotion was overwelming, , , by the way the song was made specially for her in the movie.. so well done MADONNA, sorry patty , , but you dont have any connection with Argentina , and that i vital , for that role.
I have many friends from Argentina, some of them like Eva Perón some of them not. The same with Madonna as Evita, some of them like the role or some of them not. But I guess is more about the character that her acting in the movie...
All these negative comments about Madonna & her acting. Yes, she's sucked @ times & has a bad habit of choosing bad roles in crappy movies. However, in Evita she really shined. What so many seem to forget is,how difficult it was for her to have to dance, sing, & act that part. And she did it really well.
This woman was wronged by the Academy of the Oscar's. Not even a indicate for your work in Evita. It's a shame! The role of her film career and the Academy of the Oscar's simply snub her potential as an actress.
Eu já conheço esta canção há imenso tempo, e esta é a primeira vez que considerei esta tradução do título. Embora ache que a que eu considerei até agora a mais correta ("you must love me" = você deve amar-me, não em jeito de necessidade mas antes como que um pressentimento, um palpite) pensar na sua tradução dá um sentido completamente diferente à canção!
"You Must Love Me" Madonna (Live at the 69th Academy Awards 1997) #EVITA Where do we go from here? This isn't where we intended to be We had it all, you believed in me I believed in you Certainties disappear What do we do for our dream to survive? How do we keep all our passions alive As we used to do? Deep in my heart I'm concealing Things that I'm longing to say Scared to confess what I'm feeling Frightened you'll slip away You must love me You must love me Why are you at my side? How can I be any use to you now? Give me a chance and I'll let you see how Nothing has changed Deep in my heart I'm concealing Things that I'm longing to say Scared to confess what I'm feeling Frightened you'll slip away You must love me You must love me You must love me
The significant time in her life arrived at this time for Madonna. The Erotica Era took on a path that escalated her further as an artist and sexual fantasies imagined then presented. The chaos and commotion took on heart and the soulfulness with Bedtime Stories. Evita was a musical that struck a chord with her creatively, in her personal life too. Her pregnancy and her connection to her mother both intertwined. Life opens doors. Her performance of this song was written for the film as the heart of the human experience. Love and vulnerability. Madonna received so much more that she was willing to share her talent.
