| When EVITA was first released and I saw in in a theater on opening night, it was quite clear to me from that first viewing that both "She is a Diamond" and the "Lament" were sung live on set by Pryce and Madonna. There are many things I love about the movie, but I think one of the flaws is that in the bulk of the film, where the songs are lip-synched to tracks, the illusion that the actors are singing live is not successfully created. I think mostly because there's something about the acoustic of the vocals and the sound mix that give the whole thing more of a music video feel, and maybe that was intentional. |
