definitely miming but who cares! Takes me back to the Prince Edward Theatre !! Incredible chemistry. Elaine used to cry real tears when performing this musical with Tommy and I went 6 times......LOVE it so much.
Just beautifully sung and acted by both. Tommy owns this part in perpetuity. I have to close my eyes and try to forget this was the era of the ubiquitous European lip-sync. Nice kiss at the end - sadly missing in the concert performances where they were stuck at podiums miles from each other…the heat dissipating in the distance between them….
I saw them in concert performing this and other CHESS songs in 90's in Auckland. NZ. I shall never forget. Korberg has a magnificent voice. Love them both.
Um, what was up with that crowd? Tommy and Elaine just gave them everything; blood, sweat, tears, epic vocals, epic emotion, their whole lives..........and THAT'S the reaction they get?
Lipsynch possibly because 'Sondagsoppet' producers could not afford/accommodate the London Symphony Orchestra and The Ambrosian Singers - despite this, truly masterful performances by superb artists. (I don't think the 'counter'' works - I have played this video numerous times and the count remains.................7790)
The show 'Open Sundays' (Söndagsöppet) only did play-back performances no matter who entered the stage. Boy did I wish for at least some sing-back for this show, but never happened that I'm aware.
Nah, it's pretty clearly taken off the concept album- you can even hear the cut when they switch from the first part of the song to the final post-"Story of Chess" chorus. No discredit to them, obviously, but yeah, this is lip-synching.
Sorry folks Elaine does her best and a great effort but the Swedish duo Tommy and Helen Sjoholm still the definitive version ( Du och jag ). Wonderful song from the ABBA boys and Tim Rice.
This song gives me the shivers. Their voices are in perfect harmony
the best performance of this song, ever !!!!!!!!!!

Likewise. Its fabulous. They are fabulous. The music and lyrics are fabulous.
He's not miming
Ah....Elaine Paige and Tommy Körberg, two of my favorite singers in a duet.
Seeing this several times at the Prince Edward with the original cast was fantastic, as was the experience of being in the orchestra pit one night.
These two are just perfection
Holy crap Tommy's voice! Whoa!

Sensational! Very moving, fantastic song, superb singers, beautifully performed. As for the ending...well, that kiss wasn't mimed!

Still a beautiful sublime duet, wistful and evocative. Obviously this was mimed to playback.
So beautiful, I just listen
too good to be true )))
Gorgeous
playbaaaaaack !..

Bravo!

Went to the London premiere of Chess, a fantasic show!
Tommy is good, but Elaine is spectacular!
Åndeløst: uanset kritik af syncronisering. vidunderligt stykke musik af to musiske kæmper. Tak
Frank DK.
another duet from Chess that I like very much; great voices
This isn't a live recording - it is mimed.
wrong
Yes, mimed. From the original Chess soundtrack!
prob decision was outwith their control. they can both belt like there is no tomorrow!
@Chatharsis It is..I have seen it on TH-cam.
Obviously singing live, just a problem with the sound and video being in synch - they wouldn't mime would they? ha ha ha. I still love this so much

They aren't singing live - it's a playback
Unfortunately this is indeed mimed (and very rarely have I seen Elaine mime). A shame, but still one of the best songs ever written.
@1936juniper whoops - the 'counter' is working - 7826 now - probably all mine - can't get enough!
Ingen som har fler engelska låtar med Tommy Körberg att posta?
@wilhub there probably was no live music..not their choice...the show's choice.
It would have been nice to hear it live, rather than lipsyncing to the 1984 album! Still, its a great song
Sorry folks Elaine does her best and a great effort but the Swedish duo Tommy and Helen Sjoholm still the definitive version ( Du och jag ). Wonderful song from the ABBA boys and Tim Rice.
Totally agree.
Totally agree...Helen and Tommy. So great together.
Är nog den enda gången de två inte sjunigt live... Synd att de behövde köra playback här, de är inte den sortens sångare som mimar..
live nah x
not live ! but sublimissimissmo
