She used to babysit for my cousins when she lived in Northport, on Long Island. I remember when she got famous in Evita, my aunt and uncle saw her backstage and brought me back an autographed Playbill. I eventually met Patti after her concert in Albany, NY. I was able to get a note to her telling her who I was related to, and she recognized my last name and invited me backstage. She was really nice and so appreciative of the praise. Her brother Robert was in the original cast of A Chorus Line back in 1975. I bowled with him at a charity bowling event in NYC and he also remembered my last name. Nice people and VERY talented!

Great voice back then. And those lips. The cast album rendition is much better. Evita was Mandy patinkin’s show in previews when I saw it. Nowhere near this. My partner went back 6 months later and said she was great. S saw them both just a few years ago together in concert. Mandy outshone patti once again.

truth pattis problem is she killed her voice triyng to over showboat on those jumps elaine suffered some vocal problems once in a great while during performing evita all actresses have but patti over did it and damaged her vocal chords several times. by the time patti got to australia she had a wonderful vocal coach there that taught her how to handle the score without ruining those amazing vocal chords.

This is when she liked Evita. After Sunset Boulevard, she suddenly changed her mind and says Evita and Sunset are terrible and ALW can't write music. Unfortunately, Patti, your career and legacy will always be connected to him - a bad composer in your mind.

I love how firm it is, she's a woman filled with a desperate obsession for power. The song builds bigger and bigger to accommodate her vanity, I really don't think it should be sung softly in any way. As for her vibrato, at certain points she doesnt stay on pitch but by doing it the same at every point the line is sung it becomes a stylistic choice. So its a bit harsh to say that her vibrato is all over the place. But as you say were all entitled. Out of interest do you like her voice in other songs or is it her vocal style your not a fan off.

she did rainbow high this way in he rles mouches performances as well. she was irritated and exasperated with the score patti didnt get the coaching or support that say elaine paige, loni ackerman, derin altay, katherine evans, florence lacey and so on did. the worst problem was patti was told do it like elaine did instead of letting her develop her own nuances on evita. she had very little preparation compared to elaine. even still elaine her under study susannah fellows and all her replacements in london did suffer some because of the vocal demands of the score. after a few years they had to give the understudy some of the performances during the week on broadway and in the west end so the lead actresses could get some vocal rest. there were so many times before that the actresses were doing 8 performances 2 matinees a week with no break. a little insider info for you ;)

I wouldn’t say she’s awful, yes the performance is a bit strange but that’s because it was a modified version of the song and she’s singing it out of context from the show. Also at the time of this being recorded she had done that show 8 times a week for 13 months, that’s got to have a lot of effect on her voice to be belting this out everyday. Ok bye bye have a nice day!
