@@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!
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.
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.
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!?
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.
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.
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
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!
@@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.
@@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.
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.
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...
We love Evita but then when someone embodies the real deal, we're like "naaah, gimme Patty." I'll take a real Argentine QUEEN like Elena any day ... a true Evita! Raw and passionate and really, deeply beautiful.
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.
+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.
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
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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
What's new Buenos Aires? I'm new--I want to say I'm just a little stuck on you You'll be on me too! I get out here Buenos Aires Stand back--you ought to know what'cha gonna get in me Just a little touch of star quality! Fill me up with your heat, with your noise, with your dirt, overdo me Let me dance to your beat, make it loud. let it hurt, run it through me Don't hold back you are certain to impress Tell the driver this is where I'm staying Hello Buenos Aires! Get this--just look at me, dressed up somewhere to go We'll put on a show! Take me in at your flood, give me speed, give me lights, set me humming Shoot me up with your blood, wine me up with your nights, watch me coming All I want is a whole lot of excess Tell the singer this is where I'm playing Stand back Buenos Aires!

Florida! Corrientes! Nueve de Julio! All I want to know! Stand back Buenos Aires! Because you oughta know what'cha gonna get in me Just a little touch of Just a little touch of Just a little touch of star quality!
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 !!!
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 :)

Between the 2012 cast recording and the 1996 soundtrack, I have a lot of favorites from both. Elena Roger did a terrific job on this song! I prefer this version to Madonna's Buenos Aires. That said, I prefer the film version of Goodnight and Thank You
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!
I think it's funny all the critics who say Elena was not qualified to sing the role on Broadway, when the composer himself hand selected her for both the 2006 and 2012 productions 😆
Gracias universo por enviarme a los ángeles cantores del 🌎🌎 Gracias Gracias Gracias ³³ Bendicion y protección por siempre. Éxitos totales por siempre. Es hermoso escuchar a los 😇😇😇 Cantores 👩🎤👩🎤👩🎤🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🇦🇷🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🌎
No entiendo de musicales pero el hecho de que no cante "Buenes ares, ruio de la plata, floria, coriente y neve de julio es un montón" !! Un argentino más.
I feel like Elena gave Eva more energy than Madonna did. And I totally prefer Antonio Banderas as Che So give me a remake and put Elena and Antonio together. That'd be brilliant
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.
I love this version best in my opinion. Now I’m getting nostalgic bc I was in a rip-off version of this show (same show with same music it just wasn’t as big) and this is the version we practiced the Buenos Aires dance to :,)
I love Elena Roger, one of the best Evitas ever! I like Ricky Martin a lot, but he does not do it for me so much as Che. Nonetheless, I love Elena as Evita and she makes it worth watching over and over!
Me pegue la loto 55.5555..jaja hay le donare a Ricky martin unos chavitos para su fundacion de los niňos. ....lindos del cielo....por lo menos puedo dar algo .no pobrecitos los niňos..les invito a que colaboren ...con esta linda obra del artista...Rm
He speaks English without an accent normally so it probably is unnatural even though he speaks Spanish. I'm bilingual and to add back a Spanish accent into English is weird, especially after I worked so long to get rid of it.
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
