If you loved that, you'll love Elaine Paige singing Memory from Cats: th-cam.com/video/mdBVJbzkoqo/w-d-xo.html
Far better than that new film!
@@thatssofetch3481 yes, her performance is better of course, but the new film is great. The dancing is stunning. The cockney cats, awesome. Misto is fab. Railway cat stunning. Costumes. And dench addressing a cat is inspired. And it has Rebel!

Очаровательная Богиня! Очаровательная девчёнка!!!
Очаровательная Елен! Кстати-самая лучшая в Мире ГРИЗАБЕЛЛА!!!,,, Вот так,,,
No one is more brilliant in singing this song then Elaine Paige. Her understanding of the text, her acting, her extraordinary tone quality and that gorgeous voice cannot be eclipsed. She owns this piece. No other performance even comes close. Enjoy!!!!
She is dressed so elegant and her voice is like angels singing.
I would have made the black red. Imagine that!!!
Love it's perfect!!!
Not elegant! Flamboyant rather
Honestly, it feels like that coat was just draped over the dress she wore for Memory.
I agree, she did look elegant in that gown, and she sang wonderfully.
Elaine Paige's facial expressions lend a quality of sincerity to every performance she graces!
This is how it is meant to be sung! The composer and lyricist chose her,an a unknown at the time to take the role of Evita and she along with the other original cast members made it the Worldwide success it is today.
Ahh no, Elaine was second choice for the role of Eva Peron after Julie Covington who was on the original record, but declined to perform it on stage as she didn't like Eva Peron.
@@stevored1989 I didn’t say she was ‘first choice’ I said she was chosen by Rice and Lloyd Webber as an unknown.
Please read comment before replying and we all know that Julie Covington was first choice.
21 yrs ago I used to sing my grandaughter to sleep with this it all ways did the trick she laughs now when I remind her of this
You are SOOO right, Freaksy!!! Love me some Elaine Page❤!!!
Sorry don't agree with you Julie Covington did the best rendition
That is PERFECTION... she talks, she whispers, she acts, but, she still sings...I can watch this piece million times and will never get bored...
Excellent
And her dress is astonishingly good.
This song has always spoken to me about rising to the pinnacle and realizing the futility of our actions. It is such a sorrowful lament….brilliantly done here.
I guess it's a good thing then that I've never risen to the pinnacle. 🤣
Years and years listening to “it” and her yet still yearning to watch and listen everlastingly! Glorious performance; ni doubt.
Elaine, was beautiful & very talented. Her voice was a gift from God 🌹🌹
A real Lady. 💐💜💐
Isn't she still?
The first time I even heard of Elaine Paige was when Susan Boyle said she wanted to be like her on Britain's Got Talent. So now I've started to watch some of Elaine's other videos and I have to say in this particular video she is magnificent! She truly has a stunning voice.
😅
Exactly the same for me. Never heard of her before Susan Boyle’s mention. She is fabulous
I'm ashamed to say - same for me (brought here by Susan Boyle). But totally agree - this performance is astounding, perfectly executed and timeless. What's more amazing is that she was in her mid-sixties at this performance.
Same for me. I was Susan who let me know one of the best singer
Same here!!
I will take Elaine Page over Madonna any time anywhere
Not comparison , not even close Elaine Page singuing is true pleasure
I like both versions but I can understand how one can be preferred to the other...... both ladies did an exceptional job with this song
I agree! Elaine Paige is a stellar performer! I could listen to her sing this song on loop!
Best performance
This is live
Elaine has sung "Don't Cry for me Argentina" countless times with perfection ... but this performance at the ALW 25th Anniversary at Royal Albert Hall has got to be her finest performance ... her voice ... her projection ... her gestures ... the orchestra ... all synergize into something that will immortally endure well into the future ...
So what’s this song mean?
Madonna is a close second.
@@judichristophersen7238in context it’s a political speech delivered by Evita at the beginning of the second act of the show. Juan Peron has just won the presidency of Argentina and Evita is facing criticism because of her lavish lifestyle. This is her response a song filled with platitudes and empty rhetoric designed to please the people. And it works.
Here We Are 3 Years Later ... Still, No One Can Approach, Much Less Exceed, Elaine Singing "Don't Cry for me Argentina" - Bart
I saw Elaine Paige concert in Royal Albert Hall in the 80's. I had goosebumps and I felt the tears running down my cheeks when she sang Memory. Will never forget.
From my stall I could see Tim Rice, Bjørn Ulvæus and Benny Anderson on the first row cheering.
Amazing
Elaine will always be Eva and Grizabella ❤️
and Edith Piaf and Norma Desmond ❤️️
🙌🏻 she will always be the queen of weird kinda bad musicals that were saved exclusively by the choreography and amazing original cast that is now being dragged across the world for money, ruining the original grace.
I don’t know if you can tell how passionate I feel about this 😂
Totally agree .Barbara Streisand kills memory.
She is amazing, the tone of her voice is just sublime. She actually tells a really funny story about her dress arriving literally minutes before she was due on stage for this performance and having to frantically run around the theatre to find her entrance. Her heart was thudding in her chest from exertion as she made her way down the stairs only for the stage hand to not have set the height for her mike correctly! You cant tell of course, she is the consummate pro❤
TBH I never even paid the move she makes adjusting the mike stand any thought. It just seemed so natural, almost like it never happened.
Yeah, I was wondering why it wasn't already set at the right height.
She made it seem like it was all part of the performance... like Evita is just the kinda gal who adjusts her own mike stands. Brilliant.
What was the story about her dress and where did you hear her telling it? I'd love to listen to that if you can tell me
@@kboyer1 I honestly cannot remembet where i saw/heard it - it was some sort of interview where they mentioned or showed this clip and she went on to give that anecdote. She was laughing about it! Basically her dress was being custom made (designer ofc) and literally arrived about 15 mins before she was due on stage. So the costume lady was trying to alter her dress and get it on her, all the while they wre running about back stage trying to figure out where she makes her entrance. She said her heart was racing from exersion by the time she made her appearance and was walking down that staircase. Only to be dismayed that her mike wasnt at the right height!
Elaine Page blows away today's so called singers!!
Completely agry
She's nailed that song! She is as beautiful as her gown, too. Loved her on Cats. Weber knows how to pick them.
Esa vestimenta es vulgar y de mal gusto si hay algo que tenía la señora Eva perón era buen gusto ese disfraz es espantoso es de mal gusto no está bueno ridiculizar a una mujer qué hace muchos años descansa en paz en cuanto a la cantante Tiene voz de gata en celo!!!
Great voice almost beyond compare but that dress. It is as if the designer took their cue from a 1950's gown but decided ''style'' was unimportant and ''concept'' was all that was needed with no thought to flattering the wearer. Elaine looks like she is sticking her head out of a poorly made up bed.
@ageingdrummerboy Sarah brightman is amazing singer
@@davidparris7167 yes she is overdressed 🙂
THIS is how a real diva dresses.
Oh my heart, her VOICE.
this dress is ugly
@@hans-jurgenromhild863 You're entitled to your wrong opinion.
one fine Lady..............class with a capital " C "
She can carry the dress, it would subdue an other, less powerful person!
It's hard to believe that there is no autotune, but it is her natural voice. She is so blessed to be given the gift she has! Such passion in her performance!
To those who say of artistes that he/she is 'just' a musical theatre performer, not a real singer... Musical theatre requires so much of its performers; not only the ability to carry a tune but also the ability to tell a story and express emotion, often through no more than the most subtle tonal shift or catch in the voice--and to do it day in, day out, everyday and live every time.
Elaine Paige is a star of the West End and a truly a great singer--as this video so amply demonstrates. Compare this live performance with the highly polished but ultimately bland and emotionless performance of the same song by Madonna in the film version.
yes that's why thenliterati love the theatre
I hated the song because of the movie. So when I saw this video and saw it was sung by Elaine Paige, I had clicked on it because she was going to sing it. It was an amazing version. And I prefer this one over that movie version (which was constantly played on mtv or other music stations on tv and radio when it came out).
@@KaraMorassco Rice & Webber - you'll never hear better - I was listening to this in th 80's when Madonna was still 'like a virgin'
Who in the hell would say that Elaine Page doesn't sing well, tell me and i will lill them fr that is the mst stuñid thing to say
superstar nothing else
The benchmark for all performing arts vocalists ❤
Towards the end, Elaine looks around surveying the theatre. It was a look that seemed to realize this might be the last time she would reenact her iconic role that she had performed on stage so many times for decades, and yet she nailed it. What a timelessly beautiful, triumphant, and perfect performance.
My mom always said that this song must have been written for Elaine Paige. It was the most beautiful and haunting song she ever heard.
This is my all time favorite Andrew Lloyd Webber song. The song is so haunting and the introduction of he soaring violins and then French horns is beautiful.
Nobody sings it as good as Elaine Page. Her voice is so distinct I've always remembered it from the 1970s. Hmm, 2 thumbs down from 2 persons who had their mute button on.
queenbodicea Patti
I down-voted it because her voice here doesn't fit the part, she is singing the part too "nicely". She is unconvincing.
The two thumbs down came from Madonna and Patti LOL
The original, Julie Covington is the best in my view.
Those who disliked it are probably disappointed that Evita wouldn’t be available for streaming
A few years ago I realized Elaine Paige was Elaine Bickerstaff and that I went to high school with her. I remember her at school because she was in all the school productions. She had a lovely voice back then and I saw her last Friday on tv for the first time. I moved to the US in 1980.
Wow!!
So much nostalgia. Bickerstaff is not very Opera friendly name :)))
Wait! Elaine Paige is not famous in the US? Or aren't you familiar with musicals?
Invite her over. We can cook out, but she has to wear a mask and stand her distance. Second though, perhaps a video chat is best! Tell her to have a song ready.
Diana Lovell But she played the role in London in 1977...of course, from opening night, tickets were impossible to get until after 1980...and she was done by then, anyway. I saw it in London in 1980...New Years, in Madrid inn1981, with the understudy, and in NY, that summer, with some replace,ent understudy. I aaa pretty into the show!
I like how she took her time to walk that long walk to the center of the stage, it's breathtaking!
that's a Performer and this is how you give a Performance!
Elaine is standing there on a bare stage and a stylized gown and she is brining tears to my eyes.
Coming down that staircase in all of her pageantry is the best. This is theatre we all love. And the Creme de la Creme is Elaine's spoken song.
Elaine was sensational with this performance. She is brilliant with memory later on in the show.
I have to agree with the earlier comment saying Elaine's take on this lovely song is far, far, better than Madonna's. She IS beautiful as is her performance. Whenever I feel immensely sad at mankind's inhumanity, beautiful music like this gives me hope.
I saw it when I lived in London... I can't believe it was over 40 years ago but EP makes it sound like ?? this year!
Whenever I watch this part of the film "Evita" - I cry like a baby.
I honestly just came upon this not expecting anything, I was just half-heartedly scrolling through stuff and clicked on it...I couldn't have known how moved I would be by this vocal performance, this master class in How It Is Done. Bravissimo, Dear Lady. You have left me in tears.
Her voice, her beauty, her grace, what a superb gift she is to us. I hope she's having a wonderful life
Her smile at the end says, “Yeah, I am good.” Yes, you are. Can’t get enough of this performance.
NOBODY can sing this wonderful song like Elaine Paige IMHO. This is simply HER song. Magnificent, thank you.
In the movie Evita..Madonna held her own singing this song. Personally, I like Madonna's version a little bit more
Elaine Page, what a theatrical name. Just like a name out of a novel. I can feel that name from countless novels I have read.
The most polished beautiful performance of this song.. The clarity of the voice and beauty she exudes is mezmerising ... Love you Elaine Page.. ❤️👌
I saw Elaine in Cats in Toronto, Pantages Theatre, 10 times! ...OMG! i cant tell you when she sang Memory! She blew everyone away! what an awesome performance! i still get so emotional! love you Darlin!
Elaine never starred in Cats in Toronto
@@kevinwilson3609 I'm from toronto and I don't recall her being there either.
I saw her in SF. Cats performance at the Geary Theater in 1983. Sat in the third row, isle seat. Loved how the cats interacted with the audience. Going on stage to meet Deuteronomy was fantastic. The props were amazing. Will never forget.
Oh my God this brings back some memories my mum always used to play this out loud like I used to think here she goes again My mum passed away 20 years ago in September but every time I hear this puts a smile on my face but Sometimes it makes me cry as well
@@lucymcdee9109 Oh my God do you know how to make someone cry thank you for your kind message
BREATHTAKING!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Nobody sings this like her, moves me to tears. Amazing talent 😮❤👌👏
The best of all.
What a beautiful voice!
To me , arguably one of the best performing singers ever . I'm lucky I have seen a lot of live shows and she stands out.
What a gift to be able to sing like that!
Soy argentino y me emociono al escuchar esta canción, una gran nación para los que vivimos acá, para los que se fueron a otras latitudes , para los que la llevamos en lo más profundo de nuestra alma y corazón...❤
Lástima que no la cante en castellano..
@@gladysesterperez4114 las versiones de Paloma San Basilio, de Valeria Lynch y de Nacha Guevara son en castellano y dignas de escuchar. 😊
Beautiful lady with beautiful beautiful voice. Thank you for singing🍀🍀🍀
The original and the best.
Queen of The West End 👏👏👏👏🌹
I LOVE THAT DRESS! Ms.Paige does justice to it as she did to Don't Cry For Me Argentina in Evita. Beautiful dress, Beautiful hair-do, Beautiful woman, Beautiful song. Ms. Paige was also fabulous in her role in Lloyd Weber's Cats and especially when she sang Memory: it still brings teardrops to me everytime I hear her sing it.
Muhteşem
Love that dress man that lady can sing
Elaine Paige sings this song the best!!! Bravo!!
Worked with this woman about fifty years ago
She was splendid then and even more splendid now!
I feel so fortunate to have seen Evita in London in 1983.
I saw Elaine Paige in Evita in 1979 in the West End production. This song has never left my head since.
Amazing .... happy birthday to this fabulous lady today! Still gives me goosebumps.. like a great big pimply goose!
This, i repeat, THIS is the best performance of this lovely song. Ever!!!
You obviously have never heard Madonna's rendition. Better. Much better to be honest.
Patti Lupone A1
Julie Covington sings this a thousand times better. Go listen.
@@carolinemorgan1712no matter what Elaine is the original Eva Peron so in that way she will always be superior and then of course her voice is like an angel from heaven🥹
EXCELLENT SONG, THE MOST BEAUTIFULL THANK YOU
Wow, this came perfectly.
Okay, so, storytime: I'm a senior in high school, and I've always wanted to be part of our school's pit orchestra (for the musical) since I was a freshman. I didn't get in my freshman year, but a few months back, I was asked to join the pit orchestra for this year's musical. I happily accepted the invitation. That musical? Evita. It started to look like a very promising end to my senior year. However, on opening night, due to COVID-19, it was canceled. There was always the hope that it would be rescheduled. Unfortunately, today, our state got news that schools for would be closed for the rest of the school year. I definitely needed this video.
A similar thing happened at my school. My last production was cancelled due to Covid
Definitely feel for yoy
I'm so sorry your senior year has been stolen from you.
I'm very sorry for you mate.
Aww, so sorry to year. I'm praying for all seniors who are missing out on so much. Hopefully you guys can get a delayed prom.
Oops. *hear
There aren't enough superlatives to capture the brilliance of Elaine Paige's performance. It's true her rendition as well as the song itself will wring tears from even the hardest of hearts. Incredible!
I so love this song - Don't cry for me Argentina.
Ms Paige has one of the PUREST voices I've heard in term of tone and quality in years
I adore this song. Elaine sings it magnificently.💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😀😀😀😀
Absolutely Perfect, the inflections were spot on, every word was heard.... MAGIC
I was in middle school when my dad took me to Evita at the Kennedy Center.....fell in love with the Broadway after that.
She was brilliant
What a performer. Elaine Paige is one of the very best ever. That gives me goosebumps.
At last we hear the "original" from Elaine Paige. This is the one, true version!! Really, nothing else comes close, despite so many "copies!!'. Perfection at last!!
Yes. Perfectly executed and with polished panache.
But lacking in raw emotion and supreme passion. For this I give you Sinéad O’Connor’s version.
I still find this to be the best version of EVITA.
That is the best performance arigada ARGENTINA CONDELENCE TO YOU FOR YOUR FUTURE
Dear Lord, what a superb rendition. Legend.
She set the gold standard.
An orchestrated marvel that put Argentina on top of the world map....Bravo!!❤🎉2023.
J'adore, MAGNIFIQUE chanteuse ELAINE PAIGE SUPERBE ON NE SE LASSE PAS,DE L'ÉCOUTER NI DE LA REGARDER, MERCI POUR VOTRE PRESTATION. 🇫🇷💗😍
Please bring her back to Broadway. What a great talent. Write a show for her. The world needs to hear more of her fabulous voice ❤
elaine will always be a queen ❤️❤️
For my 16th birthday I got a double cd of the very best of Andrew Loyd Weber. I was a big fan then, still enjoy the music with the original artists. Elaine Paige was a true inspiration for me as I sang in Choir and Musicals through High School. Also Sarah Brightman, I always wished I could sing like Sarah Brightman. This is my kind of music. So beautiful!
Saw this in West End of London. Elaine Paige is just unbelievable.
I saw London stage show of Evita, with Elaine Paige & David Essex, it was amazing, loved every minute of it.
Me, too. I wasn't keen on seeing it since I was 20 something and didn't know who Evita was. My sister promised to fill me in if I felt lost so I went. OMG! I was obsessed, read lots of biographies and listened to the CD endlessly
Me too!

@@marydoll1100 I saw Elaine Paige in Evita in the West End in 1979. She sang this song several times in the show in different ways to convey Evita's life trajectory. She sang a the song in exultation when she achieved power. She sang a the song in defiance when she was challenged. She sang a the song in sadness when she was diagnosed with cancer.
She looks absolutely stunning in this outfit . Beautiful voice too.
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
Wow what a beautiful performance. !!
Can't get any better !!!
I saw Elaine Paige sing this in 1978. I admire that she is still singing it but man, the London show with her and David Essex was spectacular.
I miss David Essex. A beautiful man with a beautiful voice.
Dire meravigliosa è riduttivo!! Ti "entra" nel cuore!!! Straordinariamente bravissima! Classe infinita e interpretazione magistrale!
One of my muses. Ms. Paige's🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 rendition may be the best....ever
Evita...La estadista màs grande de todos los tiempos !
The best. The very best. What a magnificent performance
ok but elaine is ABSOULUTLY STUNNING LIKE HONEY WHAT-
Wonderfull SONG Argentina
Best performace of this song i've heard...congradulations..
The best version I heard of this song. Congratulations, from Argentina
Nada. Madonna's rendition is more dramatic & better overall.
listen julie covington
elaine has class
No one's gonna talk about how ironic it is that this comment is from Argentina? No? Just me? Okay.
She continues to be one of the best - class love the look, the passion her voice glows with excitement the moment she appears - lovely.!!!
Amazing and captivating performance. So love this version of the song and Elaine gets better with age.
I think she was 63 when she did this performance. Beautiful voice and a beautiful lady.
She's awesome. World's gem. I love Elaine so much!
Wow... Brilliant performance by all.....
The diva has arrived. I so love her and she is amazing as Evita.
The voice, the looks and the acting chops - what an amazing Evita!
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
