Comparing Barbara to Madonna is like comparing Streisand to Britney Spears. There is simply no comparison. Check out Madonna singing this on YouTube - can anyone HONESTLY say that Madge's version comes anywhere near this? Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice knew what they were doing when they offered this song to Barbara, still a relative unknown at the time, on the original studio album of Evita.

I dont think Madonnas voice carries the pathos of a vulnerable prostitute...cos i dont think Madonnas ever been a victim of life...
Barbara Dickson's tender voice over Elaine Paiges caterwauling anyday

Let's put it this way. Madonna singing it this live situation would sound very disappointing! Even if she dared do it, she would have her voice drenched in reverb to give it some sort of presence.

The lyrics almost make me cry...full of quiet desperation and uncertainty, but she sings it with such grace and restraint it almost makes that notion seem pretty and enjoyable.
Strange but likable, well thats my take on it anyhow.



The definitive version, thanks for posting. When was this performance recorded?

It was in either 1997 or 1998 - it's a beautiful arrangement of the song!
