    You really feel what Grizabella is feeling when the songs starts. Without Elaine, there would never have been Memory

      At the risk of sounding incredibly snooty... Without Elaine; we would have gotten Judy Dench singing Memory since she was originally cast in the role, but she dropped out due to an injury she sustained during rehearsal. It's one of the reasons she was cast as Old Deuteronomy in the film.

    It's amazing how in a completely different space, none of the makeup, none of the costuming, all on her own, she still absolutely embodies the character. That isn't just a top tier singer, that is a top tier actress.

    For anyone who wants to sing along😊:
    Midnight, not a sound from the pavement.
    Has the moon lost her memory? She is smiling alone.
    In the lamp light the whithered leaves collect at my feet,
    and the wind, begins to moan.
    Memory, all alone in the moonlight.
    I can dream of the old days, life was beautiful then.
    I remember, the time I knew what happiness was.
    Let the memory live again.
    Every street lamp seems to beat, a fatalistic warning.
    Someone mutters and a street lamp gutters, and soon it will be morning.
    Daylight, I must wait for the sun rise,
    I must think of a new night, and I mustn’t give in.
    When the dawn comes, tonight will be a memory too,
    And a new day will begin.
    Burnt out ends of smoky days, the stale cold smell of morning.
    A street lamp dies, another night is over, another day is dawning.
    Touch me, its so easy to leave me
    All alone with the memory, of my days in the sun.
    If you touch me, you'll understand what happiness is.
    Look, a new day has begun.

  • @robertwilson123

    Elaine is just a UK national treasure! I get so tired of people trying to compare other female vocalist to her, and judging her by the voice alone. First of all, Elaine has a beautiful voice, and powerful when she wants to be...what makes her not only the original, but the best at this song is how she connects ALL of her being to this song, and commits to it. Voice, body, soul...she sings, and PERFORMS the emotions as well. Elaine OWNS this song forever! Same as Dame Judy Dench OWNS "Send in the Clowns"...yes, others sing that song better, but same as Elaine, Judy PERFORMS the song with voice, body, soul, and DICTION...the give the writer EXACTLY what he wanted the songs to represent. THEY OWN these songs forever!!!!

    My goodness. What a treat this week has been for this 76 year old lady! I had my 6 & 9 year old grandchildren watch it with me. I needed to explain the story but they were fascinated by the dancing. They already love “Joseph” and know the words. They’ve seen parts of “Jesus Christ Superstar”. They are lifetime fans of Andrew Lloyd Webber.
