in the movie, theres a song called the ladys got potential. i know it was on the evita "white album," but not on the OCR (arent u happy that i didnt call it a soundtrack?). was it in the show? also, there were other little changes between the show and the movie, i noticed many in the songs. did sir andy write anything especially for the movie?

I do think THE LADY'S GOT POTENTIAL is on the original concept album. I also think the musical sound is more like the original concept album. I'm not sure if the extra "zaz soap" verse is new for the movie. But I think it is. It is not in OBC recording and I don't remember if Patti sang that verse on stage (even though I saw her).
A lot of the different lines are from the original concept recording.

You Must Love Me was written especially for the movie. I haven't seen the movie in so long that I don't remember the little things in certain songs.

From the evil she done Lord Set her free, Set her free, Set me free Don't let my sorrow Make evil of me

They always write at least one new song when a musical is made into a movie, so they have something to submit for an Oscar nomination. Frequently, they just play the song during the closing credits to make it eligible. This has always been a pet peeve of mine. To me, the song should have to actually be in the movie to get an Oscar. Oh well, I'll get over it.

In the case of the movie EVITA, I actually liked the new song when it was used with no vocals in the Wedding sequence.
