Editorial Reviews

Selections From Evita boils the original double-disc soundtrack down to a single, 77-minute disc of highlights, featuring such songs as "You Must Love Me," "Don't Cry for Me Argentina," and "Another Suitcase." For fans who liked the hit singles and familiar items from Evita but didn't want the entire soundtrack, Selections is an excellent purchase. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Evita [Motion Picture Soundtrack]by Anonymous

May 13, 2008: Maybe I'm overly critical, because I came in expecting a Phantom of the Opera type of amazingness. After all, it is Andrew Lloyd Webber! I did like all the melodies, so his part was really good. But I find I wasn't thrilled with Antonio Banderez's voice. It was either mediocre or not good at all. Madonna was just Madonna, good but nothing spectacular. Some of the songs I felt shouldn't have been songs but just speaking parts, because they were awkward (or maybe it was just the people singing them). But it did have its redeeming songs: Don't Cry For Me Argentina, Another Suitcase, Another Hall, Buenos Aires, High Flying Adored, and You Must Love Me. But overall, it was simply eh.

October 27, 2003: I've never really been a big fan of Madonna, but I love her performance in Evita. Even better, though, is Antonio Banderas as Che. He is amazing in the movie, and I don't think his performance is diminished in any way on the soundtrack. I like this soundtrack better than the original Broadway production. The song during the waltz between Eva and Che is one of my favorites, because it shows Eva's many sides, from ambitious to vulnerable. Other performances of Evita have left me disliking Eva intensely, but Madonna's performance puts the listener (and viewer, in the case of the movie) in a tough spot trying to decide whether or not to like Eva - the character is just more well-rounded in this version, to me.
