Donna Murphy not only sings this song but makes but lives and feels every note. Donna makes you feel like your heart will break with hers. This is not even a pale reflection. Look at the Donna Murphy version and see how it should be done.

La verdad que criticar por la pronunciación a una mujer que de casi la nada es aceptada de esta manera en Inglaterra y se desenvuelve hermosamente, me indica que buscan el pelo en la leche. Dejense de joder y disfruten de una voz e interpretación privilegiada. O es envidia???? Qué mal!!!

[MSam2]

Why the fuck does this video have so many dislikes?!

[Colakills]

This is why I LEV, You are why I LEV

[antonelagia]

Her voice is flat.

[santoloquasto]

Found it rather boring. Beautiful voice (she's showing that she can do more than shout like she did in "Evita") but dull performance. She should also improve her accent.

[MaruArnaudo]

@santoloquasto I agree... I'm from Argentina like her, and i'm having a hard time believing the success that she has had and she seems to not care about improving her English! I'm a singer too, and i'm always demanding myself to pronounce correctly when i sing in other languagues...

[santoloquasto]

@MaruArnaudo Yo también soy argentino, ja! De todos modos una vez la escuché decir que estaba aprendiendo ciertos "truquitos", como los llama ella, para pronunciar mejor. Así que no sé, por ahí lo intenta pero le cuesta, será así?

[MaruArnaudo]

@santoloquasto Muy gracioso escribirnos en inglés siendo los dos argentinos! Y puede ser, ojalá esté aprendiendo ella.. A mí me da como una sensación de que no le calienta mucho ja! no sé por qué.. Apenas hacía Piaf, vaya y pase... pero cuánto tiempo hace que se fue a Londres? Cuántos espectáculos hizo ya? Me sorprende que la gente de Londres le deje pasar eso, pónganle un teacher YA!!! jajaja Yo me caliento por eso, pero tampoco la quiero prejuzgar, no conozco que pasa por su cabeza jaj

[MaruArnaudo]

@MaruArnaudo Dije "cuando fue a hacer Piaf"... disculpe, je.. creo que primero fue a hacer "Evita" no? En fin, me refería a eso... los primeros meses vaya y pase, pero póngase las pilas mujer!! jaja Gerónimo Rauch canta en España marcando la " z " española y esta mujer abre las vocales inglesas como que le importa poco!!!! jajajaja :P

[TheNewyorker009]

The accent is very distracting and I find her delivery a bit dull and flat.

[SondheimFanatic1]

It is so funny...all the Fosca's I have ever seen are gorgeous in real life...

[autopolydidact]

She looks (and kinda sounds) like a cross between Barbra Streisand and Donna Murphy. Beautiful performance. It (the song) doesn't have the same depth of character conflict that I feel a lot of Sondheim seems to have, which I realised in this monotone, but not uneventful, delivery of the song. Her eyes are magical. I view Passion as a thoughtful, but fundamentally satirical work. Again though, beautifully done. Would love to see her sing more.

[MUSICALANGIE]

@autopolydidact I don't find Passion satirical like some of Sondheim's other works. It's one of the most sincere.

[autopolydidact]

@MUSICALANGIE I wrote that comment before I had the chance to view the piece. I'm a lot more involved with it now, and yes, I don't think I'd use satirical to describe it any more. I always found Fosca's idea of love to be a little surreal, but now I realise the place that has in the story. It's nonetheless all very sincere, yes.

[traod8]

Beautiful! Loved her in Evita, wish I could've seen her in this!

[MrMonono1980]

Grande Elena!!
