Great details and great comments on Madonna's performance.

[Guest Nobody Knows Me]

I loved her Oscar’s performance of You Must Love Me. Can’t wait for the next anniversary of the song so her team can upload the performance to her channel in 140p quality.

It was such a beautiful performance. And she looked just stunning as well.

I always thought the hair was rather basic, but the performance and that gown were simply stunning

Her performance was really beautiful. And she looked stunning

5 minutes before showtime she decided to give herself those bangs..

The performance was very classy, but personally I don't connect with the Evita era Madonna at all.

Same. I actually don't like any of the songs from that era, probably because Madonna wasn't involved in writing any of them iirc. Also I just never liked the movie that much in the first place.

"When we recorded You Must Love Me with Madonna, she was getting bored of all the re-takes...."
'Do I have to sing this AGAIN !', she wailed at one point.

"If you could 'sing' it once, that'd be lovely, then we can all go home."  (c) Tim Rice.

They (Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice) were so nasty to her recording "Evita"... they both have towards her that Elton John's attitude of "you don't belong here, with the real musicians", when music is about connecting with people in the end, not only perfect skills.

I hope she DESTROYS them in the biopic.
