Am I absolutely insane or does she somehow make this work? I don't mean she makes it work AS Eva, but as another character singing those words under other circumstances.

I only wish I had her wonderful Goya Colada commercial which I saw a million times when I was a child. "Nothing but-a the creme of the creme coconut. They're adopted".

I have searched and searched for that commercial and finally found part of it here. Why don't they make classic commercials like this anymore?

And Hermione should have replaced Elena - the show would have stayed open!

HA! Nice find! They don't make performers like her anymore, that's for darn sure.

I love it! What a great find.

I wonder if Carol Channing ever sang Popular from Wicked ...

That sounded like a Muppet singing.

Muppet? No, it was the brilliant, wonderful CLASSY Hermione Gingold. Sorry if you don't think she's as talented as Lady Gaga or whoever the flavor of the week is.

She is diffenently not for everyone. I did like her singing in A Little Night Music though. I stand by my statement that she sounds like a Muppet and comes off a little cartoonish. I don't think the Evita song did her any favors.

Her voice works in a villain kind of way here. It isn't a pretty voice, but she makes it work. I don't hear a muppet.

Better than Madonna. (But that goes without saying.)
