acko Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 awww lazy, it was her day off on the set of Evita...I know. I remember the 5 second teaser clip MTV ran before the premiere...i was convinced it was a new vocal (hey I was 15) I remember my two lesbian friends gave her a hard time on account of her facial expressions when she emerges from behind the pillar I love her tongue-lipsynch-malcoordination at 3:46 PillarArgentineDonna Shot in Confiteria del Molino in Buenos Aires Unfortunately, this Argentine National Historic Landmark, holding 80 years of conversations and secrets of the Porteño bourgeoisie and aristocratic society within its walls, has been closed since the 23rd February 1997.

ryan Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 "There are no words to describe the weariness I feel today. I have not slept well in days, and when I do, there is no comfort. My dreams are violent and full of betrayal. Like my life, there's no escape. I feel the responsibility of this film. I cannot talk about Evita and her life without defending myself ... Dear God, what have I gotten myself into? What is happening to me? Today we went to shoot a music video for my next song. But I kept forgetting the lyrics, and felt like crying each and every time I did it. It was so frustrating. It's my own song!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuenosAires Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I think it's incredibly beautiful. I know it's not one of her greatest, but she did take time to do this on her downtime while filming EVITA. She looked fantastic as well. No complaints here.

Mattress Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 More from Vanity Fair... Buenos Aires [Tuesday, March 5, 1996] Freddie has come to visit me and brought me massive amounts of caramel corn, Fiddle Faddle, peanut brittle, and licorice whips. This is, by the way, a fairly reliable way to get me to do things I'm not keen on doing. Which is exactly what I did yesterday. A video on my day off! I'm so immersed in the life of Eva Peron and the movie music that I could not remember the words to my own song, no matter how many times I tried. It felt funny to be me with green eyes, hair down, and Gucci caftan. I consciously rejected the idea of being me. I am on strike. I am temporarily laid off, I do not exist until movie is finished. But I did enjoy my candy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karbatal Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 wow, i didn't remember those words related to the video! She seems so sad in the video, and she felt really tired and too immerse in the film. But REALLY GREAT that Freddy when there and told her to film the video. Now she would have said "oh, no more videos. That album is like... six months ago". Love love love the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runa Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 This is a fucking great video. And her voice is just so........ awwwwwww ! I don't think she was lazy. It's difficult to turn this kind of video, a long take with no editing, everything must be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loomer Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 It seemed ludicrous at the time, her having an unexpected fondness for that off all things but it's great for what it is. This was a nice stop gap in the wilderness years, she looks great and above all I love that Soulpower mix, so well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HolidayGuy Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 It's not a very exciting video to watch, but as a filmic representation of a song's about loneliness, a video featuring just her, from far away, leading up to a big close-up shot, is pretty fitting. She shot the video to the STR mix- hence, the "malfunction" at 3:46. For those who prefer a video set to the STR mix, which I prefer of all the mixes/versions- out of sync, which is fine, given how far away she is, until it gets to the "malfunction," at which point the vocals and her miming get in sync: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsaacHarris Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 BOTH VERSIONS really do something to me. Rose Royce's Love Don't Live Here Anymore got frequent play in my childhood household & it wasn't until middle-school, when I got computer access, did I discover M's cover. Listening to her version for the 1st time was hypnotizing. That VOICE! Aint know she had it in her. I kid you not, I played it like 140 times CONSECUTIVELY. I still remember my mother's reaction; 'boy, turn that shit down. Who IS that? Muh-donnah!? REALLY? Oh, Ms. Thang sang that. Okay Madonna...' **side-eye** LDLHA will forever be in my Madonna Top 5.
