Madonna - Evita - 13 Rainbow High (1996)

Madonna - Evita - 13 Rainbow High (1996)

There again I've more to do
Than simply get the message through
I haven't started
Let's get this show on the road
Let's make it obvious
Peron is off and rolling

Eyes, hair, mouth, figure
Dress, voice, style, movement
Hands, magic, rings, glamour
Face, diamonds, excitement, image

I came from the people, they need to adore me
So Christian Dior me from my head to my toes
I need to be dazzling, I want to be Rainbow High
They must have excitement, and so must I

Eyes, hair, mouth, figure
Dress, voice, style, image

I'm their product, it's vital you sell me
So Machiavell me, make an Argentine Rose
I need to be thrilling, I want to be Rainbow High
They need their escape, and so do I

Eyes, hair, mouth, figure
Dress, voice, style, movement
Hands, magic, rings, glamour
Face, diamonds, excitement, image

All my descamisados expect me to outshine the enemy
I won't disappoint them
I'm their savior, that's what they call me
So Lauren Bacall me, anything goes
To make me fantastic, I have to be Rainbow High
In magical colors

You're not decorating a girl for a night on the town
And I'm not a second-rate queen getting kicks with a crown

Next stop will be Europe
The Rainbow's gonna tour, dressed up, somewhere to go
We'll put on a show

Look out, mighty Europe
Because you oughta know whatcha gonna get in me
Just a little touch of
Just a little touch of
Argentina's brand of star quality

@pearlypops I'm just here to offer a peaceful argument. I'll admit, Eva was highly ambitious and that killed her in the end, but she was truly caring and wanted the best for her people. She did sleep with two of her employers but she had a reason...to keep her job and not get left behind in cities when her acting groups toured. She was blackmailed into sleeping with them. Everyone has their opinions and I respect yours. I just hope you'll respect mine as well.

madonna's voice has some unique essence :P

[cmcorrie]

I own several version of Evita soundtracks and I have to say that Madonna is my preferred Eva. She isn't as screechy as LuPone or as good-girl sounding as Julie Covington. But she could still use a little more power to her voice.

@FlaxenHairedBeauty I, too, love the Lauren Bacall reference. Bacall is such a star!

[tfutrell000]

I love the ending to this song, "star quality." No truer words spoken for Eva (or M for that matter.)

[papliunmillon]

@abb9211 The movie version of this songs must to be soft, a little loud-less. You are watching a movie not seeing a broadway performance. If in the movie I hear the Patti LuPone's screams, I go crazy!!

[gamblerjag]

she was so great in this scene.

[Frasier2098]

this is brilliant

DADDY THE SULTAN OF BRUNAI, YOU SEE ANTONIO BANDERES HE LEFT AND I HAD TO SING FOR ARGENTINA UNTIL HE DECIDED TO BE MY COMPANY.

YEAH BUDDY MY NAME IS EVITA.

@emlodik Really? Hmmm... I've always thought Parker imbibed every moment with action and intention that existed beyond the music. I feel the same way about The Wall and Fame. He knows so well how to create drama onscreen.
