It’s about damn time we got to hear Rachel flex her diva pipes again. As Kurt put it in last night’s episode, “You are as brilliant and talented as you are irritating,†and what better vindication for the diva denied her shot at sectionals than a soul-shattering, face-pulling rendition of the Andrew Lloyd Weber classic, “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina� But not so fast, Berry: You’ve got the likes of Sinead O’Connor, Donna Summer, and Georghe Zamfir, master of the pan flute, hot on your heels.
Watch these versions and tell us: Who did it best?
Sinead O'Connor
One person who wasn't crying for her: Pope John Paul II.
Me First and the Gimme Gimmes
The line about "my wild days" has particular resonance.
Donna Summer
It's a short distance from First Lady of Disco to First Lady of Argentina.
De Kopper -bloazers
Much appreciation to anyone who can teach us how to pronounce their name.
Georghe Zamfir
This is more than performance ... this is communion.
Rachel and Kurt
The only way divas know how to duet: as two separate solos.
