Well nobody than Elaine can sing this song as good as her. Elaine deserves all the adulation that as far as any prominent Theatre Stage Actress or Actor .Let's not forget Singer goes. She makes the audience feel so stimulated .Well done Elaine x
I love Ms. Paige - always have. But her version of this doesn't quite work. It lacks the necessary drama built into the lyric.And, vocally, she just doesn't deliver. But, I've seen such greatness from her so often. I wonder what the back story is. Cuz something's a bit off here.
I love this added song to Chess when it came to Broadway, without Elaine of course. She does great justice to it in her 40th anniversary concert run, DVD as stated was filmed in Sydney where the CD was recorded in Dublin.
Not only does she stagger but it's way too pacy and feels rushed. Rhythm is off by a mile too unfortuantely - it's a kind of waltz with the accents on the first and third beats. Great voice and a quite professional singer though so it's regrettable she couldn't make it more justice here.
I disagree I like her take on it it’s a pop take it’s out of context from the show I like the pop things that she does but being a singer who Pop izes songs I would. I give it two thumbs up!
wow. I never knew that our Elaine sang this, given that it was a song that was added for the Broadway run and not included in the London production or original album that both starred Elaine. Any ideas of the venue?
I don't know if it's because I heard karin's version first ,but it sounded better ,thé rest of thé songs belong to Elaine ,especially heaven help and nobody's side!
I usually love Elaine Page but she misses the mark with this song. It doesn’t compare to the version by Judy Kuhn. Ms. Kuhn injects so much emotion into this song and her voice projects so well, she hits the last row in the balcony.
hmmm....it's as if she is deliberately trying to just slop her way through the song. She might as well be singing the telephone book. Her performance in Cats is the gold standard. I was hoping for something like that. Very sad.
Utterly beautiful.
Anyone going into theater should study Elaine! What a model for all. I love how she can just control her voice in any situation!
I Love You ♥️🤩👏👌🙏🎶🎆
great song fantastic performer!! she really is the first lady of musikal theatre.

I'm not sure if she's the only one who can sing it as good as her. Hellen Sjöholm in the Swedish version sounds fantastic.
Kerry Ellis also does a fantastic job
I think Judy Kuhn sang it better, especially since the song was written for her.
I think this is from her 40th anniversary dvd, recorded during her tour in 2008. in Sydney I think.

lol.. can you show us how to sing?
Her voice has not aged well. She doesn’t have the power or range in her chest voice anymore - that’s why she ‘styles’ the song as she does.
Fantastic

chess is elaine-tommy-murray !
no one else !
Hm, musically Chess is Benny,
LOVE Her! So fortunate to see her perform this in London. But disastrous plastic surgery. So Sad!
Listen to Helen Sjoholm th-cam.com/video/myZt9c2Tips/w-d-xo.html to experience singing and interpretation of the highest level.
Absolutely!
Lea Salonga!
Ron Laurence Gross Elaine fantastic before. This is Lea Salonga s song now. Incredible Lea Salonga!
Lea Salonga's version is still the best for far.
Not only does she stagger but it's way too pacy and feels rushed. Rhythm is off by a mile too unfortuantely - it's a kind of waltz with the accents on the first and third beats. Great voice and a quite professional singer though so it's regrettable she couldn't make it more justice here.
It is better if they made the song slower so that the audience would really feel the lyrics. Good performance tho.
Elaine made some very bizarre style choices in this performance. Just strange.
Wow beautiful ❤️❤️❤️🎆🎶🙏👌👏🤩♥️

Did you hear Karin version ?
I usually love Elaine Page but she misses the mark with this song. It doesn’t compare to the version by Judy Kuhn. Ms. Kuhn injects so much emotion into this song and her voice projects so well, she hits the last row in the balcony.
this version lacks the simplicity of honesty in the woman's voice. this version is "performed".
she kind of brushes off every line
Love elaine, but she should have left this song alone. It belongs to Judy Kuhan xxx
She’s struggling.
hmmm....it's as if she is deliberately trying to just slop her way through the song. She might as well be singing the telephone book. Her performance in Cats is the gold standard. I was hoping for something like that. Very sad.
Yes, she was singing the notes, not the song...
Great song, but Elaine's voice is sounding old...
Good grief she’s 65 here.
@@cathyb-cbradioband6523 Elaine is 61 here she was 60 in 2008 and this was filmed in 2009
same style of singing.
Not great.
Really not great….
Lea salonga sings this better
She is struggling with the notes and it’s a pain to watch.
