Edward Bornilla this comment is so underrated!!! Needs more likes!! Lool

HAHAHA!

hahahahha this comment should be 12million likes.. hahahha

Edward Bornilla that’s hilarious!!!

I am a native Argentine.. and we do not pronounce the "T" as an engligh "TH" sound.. so I am not sure why she is pronouncing it that way. The T in Argentina is a strong clear crist T sound. Nevertheless, I love her voice and her interpretation of the song.

@@gusreggio5218 estaba pensando lo mismo, en todo caso tendría que haber intentado decir la “g” bien

It's an affectation. What she thinks she's imitating is actually Castilian, but she even got that wrong. Still, fine performance.

@@James-gk8ip Isn't she of Filipino descent? Maybe it's simply a Filipino pronunciation.

@@gusreggio5218 en español" t" como en idiomas eslavos. Hola de Seberia

Yes yes I wish too

She is doing two solo concerts at the Boulevard Theatre in London next week and will be singing musical numbers!

Dontcha?

Jamaal Iqbal is there any footage from this !!!

Yessss and add the phantom of the opera 👏

Amy Marie I agree

Elaine Zhao she's definitely not underrated, she chose her career path and she's happy with it. Even in her PCD songs and her solo pop songs she still uses her pipes. But choosing the path that sold the easiest (sexy pop) she opened up opportunities for herself to do things like this. She is more than pleased with what she's done in her life :)

that is all very true Laeric Thomas

I get what you mean, but on the other hand I get what Amy meant. It's like, so many people think that she's a two-bit pop singer, when really she has such a stunning voice and can perform with such beauty and emotion. Yeah, sure, she's probably happy, but it's a shame so many people don't know her true talent.

Agreed

No shes not underrated. Shes a international superstar.

I think it's because The Pussycat Dolls didn't really do anything for her. That's just my opinion.

well karma is a bitch, if you undermine your colleagues you wont get anything good from the universe

@absoftitanium Titanium, don't try to explain anything to @chaos -- there's no harmony in chaos so it's unlikely that he'd understand anything

and she's the hardest working gal in the biz, truly

@@bogdanlevi7483 peace man.

Lenaturnsgreen oh my God! Me too! standout

You should see her performance with the Phantoms

+Ellie S. that's the best performance of her 😍

Indeed she does standout, What a set of hooters.

Wonderful

Totally agree with your comment. She is an amazing talented singer and performer.

HER solo songs Are Boring unfortunately but her covers are great 👍🏽

​@@borneo_I totally disagree. You just don't care for her solo work. It's only your opinion, not fact.

***** Ah true. I have listened to one of her solo songs and it was awful. I liked the Pussy Cat Dolls but that venture set her back by so much because no one took them seriously. I really hope she does Broadway.

kyungsoo!!

sebastian Davalos :D I love when people point him out lol. Always nice to see K-pop fans ^.^

it's just a shame she is always half naked, signing pop crap in her videos, she really doesn't have to do that because she is so talented.

junsu is that you ;AAA;

Sure was, but the tits n arse sold records eh

@@OpiumBride Ariana Grande isnt the best example, shes pretty incredible live too. Katy Perry is more of a corporate product.

i never knew she was actually a power house singer until today.

She's a classically trained opera singer so this has always been her thing. I personally think she should do this and what ever else makes her happy!! She's incredibly talented!!

She turned Andrew's offer to do Evita on Broadway down, to do XFactor. Easy, instant money over long term serious artist recognition & a fortune in spin off musical albums & collabs with the Alfie Boe's etc of musical theatre. Odd. Musical theater not cool enough? Judging talent shows pays well but it's not a respected career.

I like her covered in cooking oil.

The original singer from Evita on Broadway Patti LuPone performed and won an Emmy for it. Nicole is the first person that has measured up and also gave me chills.

I completely agree with you

@@cleigh8753 100% agree

Check out Lea Salonga 's version ..

​@@jym2229 Lea sing this as Lea. But Nicole sang it as Evita. She gave life to Evita

It's so pure. My biceps have chills. I didn't know that could happen.

Lea Salonga

Only when sung by an angel send from heaven - ah wait thats the reason why

Best version I've heard.

This is the difference between singing a song, and *performing* a song. Truly epic!

AMEN!!

That's a common thing in Europe. It's obvious to be quiet during any performance (theatre, opera etc.). Sign of respect.

This really only happens in US I think. It’s so fucking annoying. Someone sings a note 3 steps higher and the crowd WAILLLSS. Like shut up.

@@jakelindsey6737, did you ever watch Susan Boyle's audition on "Britain's Got Talent"?

Yes take on every note, every word then applause at the end

I know I'm standing

+CassieJazz96 I'm not sure that it is underrated as much as unknown. A lot of people are surprised.

+Anton Green agreed. people know of her, they just think of her singing that "dontcha wish your girlfriend was hot like me" bullshit

Shannon Millsap that would lead to underrated. If people know her but don't think generally that she's capable of this, that's being underrated

CassieJazz96 dude why are you replying to a comment feed from 2 years ago?

CassieJazz96 when I heard her at Pussy Cat Dolls, I thought this girl could sing! Then they gave them those crappy songs which could not show the full range of her talent. Finally, I'm happy to hear her this way!

ikr? that part killed me!

Totally agree. No version i've ever heard was so passionate and captivating as this. No one else, at least that i have heard, used a Spanish accent on Argentina.

In my opinion, she pronounced it wrong.

Faqyuman she can't speek that spanish "g" but she did well on the "t" in my opinion...🤔 oh and Americans can never roll the "r"😂

Sharior the problem is with the T in ArgenTina. She pronounces it like ArgenDina, absolutely wrong (I'm a spaniard), but she's spectacular anyway.

I agree Morgan.....so beautiful and talented

Same!! She’s so good!

Agreed Colon! Smart, talented and beautiful!

She murdered it alright.

Yes, I come back listening to it regularly

+IW Nunn She's ok, somewhat overrated in my opinion.

+DaOrigTruthSeeker What????? What are you listening to?? This is better than both Julie's and Madonna's versions.

Shushanto Bose Madonna is not really a good singer, never was....so your comparison is weak.

DaOrigTruthSeeker 1) Madonna sang this song well in the movie 2) Regardless of Madonna or anyone else Nicole sang this incredibly well. She is clearly a trained singer not just an amateur pop singer.

Shushanto Bose The only way Madonna will ever sing well is if she has auto tune to help her out.

Nicole Scherzinger was classically trained before she became a pop singer.

I actually didn't like it. Not powerful enough

She is this awesome.

here here ..

Look her up singing Memory.

Yeah, I read that ALW was frustrated with Madonnas approach to the song, from what I've read he loved Nicole's interpretation.

+Maries Notes this version is sooo camp

lol

+Kobe Busia Madonna knew it would be a bomb, so it sounded such with her child like voice that has pardon me, has lasted way further than it should have.

D BEARDEN so true!

I recommend the version from André Rieu and Suzan Arens. But this one here is also very beautiful

Isso me deixar triste :/. Enquanto isso a maioria dessas cantoras pop atuais usam playback e cantam mal pra porra

Dan Hildebrand 0q

Thiago Costa kl

Best rendition ever

Can we list songs we need on this album?? I Dreamed a Dream is my nomination.

I co-sign this 100

you have to listen to her singing memory from cats!! its so good

Listen Opera of phantom

She was the mum in Moana 🥰

@@onyxxx08 opera of phantom lmao

Weird flex, but ok

I agree 100 percent!!!

absoftitanium true she does not age, but she has had them. I’m not one to tell someone what to do with their face but she really didn’t need the surgery she was already beautiful. She still is!

STFU.

So very true. Well written!!🙏🏾

She was amazing in this performance. I absolutely love it

Me too. Excellent!

you should watch her when she sang 'the phantom of the opera' !

MoMoMyPup10 She actually used to be the lead singer of a girl group called the Pussycat Dolls.

Marc Lloyd-Princeton Yeah I don't call that singing...

digitalmediafan n

A Latina one right?

Jino Espera Burgos but she’s not Latina

@@rhomeNmpire I knew that. She's a German / Filipino. A Filipino inspired Disney princess is highly unlikely. 😂

@@rhomeNmpire P.S. - I'm Filipino, BTW.

Jino Espera Burgos Ok, then she would fit right in with Nea Salonga, she’s both Jasmine, and Mulan’s singing voice, the ultimate Disney princess and Filipina as well

It’s traditionally sung like this

@@jasonstimson3359 I know... I'm saying I prefer her singing THIS than when she's singing pop music.

No need to go all binary friend, you are allowed to enjoy both.

@Rooby Roo Horse manure, this rendition is perfect.

I love both

Domenico Zappone I couldn't agree more!

It’s unfortunate that she’s been boxed in by the industry as a pop girl, but what many don’t know is she’s a classically trained vocalist. I agree! Broadway is def where she’ll shine.

Bravo to your comment!

Oh man, Couldn't have said it any better

AMEN Alexander...it's so breathtakingly beautiful!!! Love when she sings The Phantom of the Opera with a number of Broadway's Phantoms too. She does an AMAZING job!!! I listen to this all the time!! :)

Wonderfully put, Alexander! I've now nothing to say!

Alexander Garcia everything i wanted to say, but in a more articulate and artistic version with depth of musicality.....love it Alex

Absolutly fantastic.

Have you seen her Phantom of the Opera video. It knocked me for six x

I had no idea either. Her voice is so amazing I feel a little teary eyed not just by her talent but by the fact that I didn't know. I listened to her sing phantom of the opera but this is my favorite so far. Going on a Nicole youtube binge now lol

I ❤️ your songs 🎵 GOD BLESS

Check out her Phantom of the Opera at the Royal Variety Performance. Incredible.

she sang it so glorious and with honour and love and sensuality all in one. just perfection.

Brandon R You’re absolutely right

The music is finally alive

That’s like, the best compliment a singer could hear. ☺️

First time I’ve gotten goosebumps almost from the first note of this song. Fantastic rendition

the truth is most singers properly can sing like this but chooses not to or feel comfortable to sing like it

Andrew Booth WHAT are you smoking? Most singers have to go through extensive training to attain the level of skill she exhibits. I assume you meant to say probably.

Actually I wasn't referring to her level of ability in her singing. Im talking about how although she can perform really well in this style, she properly don't feel natural to her or like singing in this particular style

+Carlos pires Ah the man himself picked her and loved her rendition not the first time she sang for him

+Carlos pires Listen to what original? Madonna? ha ha ha! As a vocal instructor with 20+ years of experience and having had students perform this song numerous times over the years, I challenge you to show me exactly where Nicole adds ornaments. And even if she did--This is HER interpretation not yours or how you think it should be interpreted! This isn't a classical aria where the emphasis is put upon singing it technically note for note. This is musical theatre, where its all about the actors' interpretation and their perception of the character. I'm not a Nicole fan, I was honestly looking for a good version to send to a student who is thinking of performing this song for an audition. I had listened to Patti LuPone, Elaine Paige, and Donna Summer sing it. I accidentally clicked on Nicole's version and it caught my attention immediately because of the emotion in her voice in the beginning. I had no idea she had this much talent.

Me too

Me tooo

yeah they are both underated

Ethentent couldn't agree more!!!!

Too bad she didnt do alot of singing in moana

Agree Sirus...Beautiful !

sirus judon very true

My thoughts EXACTLY. ALW needs to get busy with an all-new production of "Evita" starring THIS girl! Yep, let's just go ahead and retcon Madonna Evita, lol.

MRG09100 I’m sorry to let you know that Eva Peron is not white she died her hair blonde and she avoided the sunI believe she captured her perfectly as is.

MRG09100 Because she is an authentic Latino

@@stopthelies4249 That's not how it works, genius. Latinos come in all skin colors, because it only refers to a geographical region, not a race. An "authentic latino" can be blonde with blue eyes or black with thick curly black hair. Educate yourself.

Shes half filipino half German, not latino

Analogy 👏👏👏

Perfectly said..

Because she can.

Great analogy! I'm going to have to use that some time... Thanks!

Olivia, I love this lol. I'll steal this van gogh reference 😂

Hello,Try to listen to Lea Salonga version Thanks.

@@melodeereyes3911 ...or PALOMA SAN BASILIO (spanish version)

Patti is still my fave.

@@carblarson8868 I saw Patti play Evita in the 80’s. She was electrifying.

@@Raina430 What a memory! I would have given anything to have seen her.

+Charles W je suis d accord ! ....

+Charles W - Didn't know she could sing so well...

+Charles W Thats not where she's making her money unfortunately as none of her songs have been huge hits. Hence why she's hosting, judging or making appearances and spreading herself across many platforms. You are so right though when you say her vocal talent is wasted........she's going down the wrong route

Imaani Brown Wow, didn't know that. Was she kind of big for a while when she was part of the pussycat dolls?

She was the main one in the Pussycat Dolls. She had the best vocals and what most would consider, the best looks and image. The band were successful here in the UK. She had the most success outside of the band although her music never really set the charts on fire. I think she's had the most success here in the UK, although none of her singles remained on the charts for long. She scored a number 1 before it sank in to obscurity. She made quite a few tv appearances here in the UK, either co-presenting, appearing as a guest or acting as a judge on the X Factor panel. I really loved her, but people didn't really warm to her. She absolutely blew the socks off everyone when she sang this duet with Sam Bailey at the X Factor finals. I dont think many people knew she had such a strong vocal range!

KimmimaruSai A-fkn-men!!!! I held my breath there

Perfect description. This performance is stunning.

Darn you hit the nail on the head, thank you and greetings from Buenos Aires!

What a beautiful voice I love this song nice memories still listening! how're you Rosa?

EXACTLY!

Your comment made me laugh so hard. What you mean by bend her morals? She was literally the lead singer of pussycat dolls hahahaha

@@heberthvieira6260 Oh man...where have you been? Hollywood is a dark place. Young beautiful women like her are targets for male grooming...from you know..... Executives who want to have a "business meeting" in their penthouse apartment or hotel room. You don't wonder how people who lack real singing ability and dancing ability become superstars??? You know there are occultic, and satanic symbols and rituals that artists are asked to participate in as harmless fun. Just search Lucerferianusm in Hollywood and see what people in "the know" has to say about it themselves. And also sexual grooming in Hollywood. It's more than just dressing provocatively in videos and singing the run of mill pop song. What's being asked of some artists is an encroachment of who they are offstage. Who wants to cozy up to and entertain an old sagging music Exec just cause he can "help your career". Disgusting! And don't dare REFUSE..... you get black listed! See what happened to Mariah Carey when she was only 19 in the music business and how a married EXEC groomed her. That same man ended up dating Jennifer Lopez.... whose career eventually blew up. Don't try to save yourself for marriage offstage... you'll get laughed at as one model who left the industry described after she refused topless photos that weren't apart of her contract. The expectation is that what you are on stage has to be who you are offstage..... is what they push. Models pushed into nude photos that weren't communicated beforehand and being groped by folks and pushed into private meetings with Execs at hotels. I saw a documentary of a male model who was sexually assaulted by an Exec. Disgusting! As beautiful as Nicole is.... no doubt she was approached by a sicko Exec's assistant for a "meeting".

Meaning she won’t sell her soul

She absolutely is a superstar….

lol she is one .. :D

Wow!

she's more famous than any broadway singer I know. lol

She is on record saying she refused to sell her soul "to the devil". Meaning she stuck to her morals and values in hollywood. Superstardom in Hollywood is GIVEN not necessarily always EARNED! Some of the most talented people never hit it big...And some of the least talented people are mega stars. and FAITH is typically the problem. Her beauty is also a curse. No doubt she was a target of grooming for wealthy executives who wanted a piece. Occult hand signals are done by almost ALL huge artists....which is strange and telling. The industry is ran by the occult hidden in plain sight. Money is an evil when enough of it can buy you almost anything. The sick stories I've heard about the wealthiest in the industry will have you questioning mankind.

Glad I'm not the only one!

Same here

Snap!

Sometimes the human imperfections of a live performance make it more powerful

It's vibrato....and it's incredible.

I would watch a version with Nicole xD

Madonna's version is low on my list. Before this my favorite was Karen Carpenter--but this was unbelievable.

I loved Madonna's.. All I could think though though this was, well by near the end, I was thinking ... "she really sounds like, or I hear heavy Striesand influence "... Low and behold - I look to the right and the playlist says "Memory" - which should be "moemories" as far as I remember, but whatever.. And, so okay, I was right. Makes sense. She has a very heavy Striesand inflection to her tone of voice - to my ear anyway. Which is - well, wow, but there could be some serious heavier "insults" considering the magnitude of Striesand's fame at one time - her records were absolutely in my house as a child, so I might know what I'm saying. At least a tiny bit. :)And for anyone who (still)l realizes the actual .. compliment, and ..magnitude of the reference. Anyway, that's my two cents Shocked, and impressed

You need to hear the original by Julie Covington. Nicole is wonderful though. The best current female voice by miles.

Julie Covington

Howard Skeivys, I totally agree with assessment of this artist, she is great!

Outstanding in every way!!!

Ruby Golani, Indeed!

Same here! Love this so much!

She looks like how I imagine Evita would look and be. Magnificent. ❤ God can cook, (create.) 😄

i love her phantom wow

Easily pleased

She was born in Hawaii and knows how to sing with her hands, her body and her voice! Incredible!

Gave me chills when she sang that part

I live the portion where she tilts her head for the violin music 3:03

She's been cast as Grizabella in the London revival of Cats this winter so you can see her in that!

you know nothing Jon Snow

***** Been and seen her in Cats. She stole the show. I live in London and go to many shows but not seen anyone like her in a long time.

Barry Bullimore Same here! I got to see her twice and she was INCREDIBLE!

She was awesome in cats!! xx

Kara Harrison omg I'm doing the same exact thing

I´m blown away

Shit the bed 😂😂😂

In Spanish it would be "¡cágate lorito!" Take a shit little parrot!

Two years later I'm doing the same thing

What a beautiful voice I love this song nice memories still listening! how're you Renee?
