| I couldn't agree more. Unless you were reading the lyrics while listening to the score, you'd have no f'ing clue what she was trying to say. Not only does no one in Buenos Aires say "Big Apple," -- manzana grande? -- they also don't abbreviate Buenos Aires as BA. They write BsAs. I think Tim Rice is guilty of awkward lyrics all the fuck over the place. Don't even get me started on CHESS. - GMB, who has spent so much time in Buenos Aires that he can tell you were to find the city's best empanadas |

| It's wonderful and confirmed my impression of Patti when I saw her in the show way back then. Great voice, excellent stage presence, but what the fuck is she saying half the time! | |

| Yes, Tim Rice has MANY MANY offenses in his lyric writing. But he also has done a lot of good work too, so i'm pretty conflicted on him. But sadly of all the bad lyricists ALW has worked with, and I don't think he's ever worked with a consistently good one, Rice isn't even the worst.. and is maybe the best. |
