I know him so well (live) - Elaine Paige & Barbara Dickson

[TheDaftdrew]

You can tell its autotuned because the vibratos are very harsh also the second verse there is alot of chopping of the vocals which is completely unnatural

[TheDaftdrew]

This stinks of autotune, really its quite clear they were autotuned.

[SparkleFairy162]

Agreed @madnad10 x

[icehouston01]

this is sooo touching 

[madnad10]

And THIS is what we need more of! I tell you, if more people actually SUNG instead of the crap we have to put up with now, the world might not seem such a bad place!

[trojanwarrior1982]

@madnad10 yeah you're absolutely right! :)

[cerdikxs]

so this is the original? no matter who is the original singer, i still enjoy this song..

[musicmanoo]

sounds a bit like abba??????????

[princesstootsweet3]

@musicmanoo Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus wrote the music for this musical.

[musicmanoo]

@princesstootsweet3 ah right didn`t know that cheers :O)

[mgclv]

God, I love them!

[BillboardClassic]

what a flawless live performance .. no lip sync , no auto-tuned !

[UmbrellaWatch]

Yet as I am loved and been loved, I have been loved by few and i regret the pains are always still there.I miss and long to be with them, within my haunts. I remain and keep to who I am. for now these two wonderful women seem to know my darkness.

[kauany371]

Sou muito fã delas...Adoro o trabalho delas...Otimas cantoras...

[DKP4]

Beautiful, tragic, pure ABBA

[1779900195363]

@1779900195363 อย่าลิมไลนะ

[JanMelet]

No pad-sound no synthesizer no electronic sound (oh wel, may be the e-piano and e-guitar)). how beautiful

[Niller1955]

Goose bums all over

[santiagocho84]

[Answl82]

@alwayspaul29 I know the show lol, just didnt know what tv prog this was off

[Answl82]

i was just reading that when they recorded it org for the charts they never did it at the same time lol!!!

[ric384]

I love this song. And after I think 20 years, the magical touch of the song and lyrics still excite me. Mabuhay, Ms. Elaine Paige & Ms. Barbara Dickson. from The Philippines.  11/11/11

[Answl82]

where is this from - show?

[alwayspaul29]

@Answl82 This song is from the musical Chess, which was written by Björn and Benny from Abba as well as Tim Rice.

[nelson1eye]

Stunning, simply stunning. Two magnificent singers.

[bongsalazar]

Elaine is brilliant !!!

[MrVljacks]

PUKER Stuff....

ScabbyVille



[viperhalberd]

WTF??? This isn't the chick from Inception? What the fuck???

[Ivonne0423]

Wonderful, Barbara and Elaine just wonderful. Beautiful song....deep.

I close my eyes and saw Frida and Agnetha singing the song.

I was just dreaming a little.!!!!!

[tchin2020]

Elaine, your an amazing singer! Thank you, come back to NYC Broadway, we need your bright smile and amazing voice!

[surferasianboi]

This song makes me cry! I dont know why!

[junevillasoto]

This is one of the most successful musical ever staged. Chess mad a landmark in the world of broadway. Barbara and Elaine made such a wonderful feat in making the piece so moving.

[baniacek]

Fentastic

[TippingWater]

Great singers ! I wish we had more talented people like them and not just eye candies .

[simplystreeptacular]

The lack of eighties hair makes this infinitely superior to the '89 version.

[Piiiikay]

Gosh, Elaine Paige ist still a very beautiful woman...

[coolchris12345]

they really would have been perfect without the autotune!!!!!!!!!! x

[whirlyfan]

can't beat peter kaye and susan boyle verison lol soo funny and good too (love ordginal video for the song )

[Nofredede]

Wonderful voices, great song

[discogareth]

One of my favourite songs of Benny and Bjorn, and the recorded version is amazing. B&B's production has always been out of this world. Maybe Elaine and Barbara should have lip synced! Lots of awful wrong notes. Surprising from Barbara especially! Elaine over the years has got dreadful! :o(

[kinotonberry]

@discogareth I know! I'm shocked! You can catch the glaring autotune corrections! :( They're my favorite duo for this song!

[troylockhart05]

I love the live version so much :)

[aarmarky]

@ramsdenrick

Yes I concede(accept your correction), I hadn't noticed it was 2004. I suppose it may have been caused by my listening to 8 or 9 versions including the 1984 videos back to back, but that's no excuse for being wrong. I have to admit, I consider that the girls were singing live on this clip. If you say it has been auto-tuned then who am I to argue? I do understand that this technology is widely used now but these two CAN sing & were (ironically) slightly off harmony I thought? TY

[Hantharo]

Simply Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!

[EmilijaEma]

ELAINE <3

[lflow100]

Fantastic!

[ramsdenrik]

either the uploader decided to try and autotune these girls or they are using vocal assist and someones turned it up to high it sounds robotic in parts!

[aarmarky]

@ramsdenrik

this was the 1980s ramsdenrick, yes there was studio overdub, multitrack, reverb, self harmony............. This,however, is their voices. No sophisticated programmes.... pc's were very basic then. Synyhs were only just becoming reliable...they used to use a bank of cassette decks (mechanical ones) linked to a whacking great clunky keyboard. The key was pressed and hopefully....the tape played the right recorded note! Give these girls the credit they deserve....they could sing

[ramsdenrik]

@aarmarky it wasn't the 1980's at all it was 2004 read the description, I love these two ladys love the song its just heavily autotuned you can here it!!

[luvhart]

This is a treat...thank you for posting this ;-

)

[fortinero45]

Que maravilla!!

No tengo palabras !!

Son dos Diosas !!

[MsLILUN]

where these actually friends aswell??

[DistantCousin]

@MsLILUN They didn't even know each other when the track was recorded, but they became firm friends after.

[Tsenio]

she's like a bean,while the other is 2 meters tall

[jnsash003]

The singing is good and proper. And after all those years. I enjoyed it very much.

[DanielMS2010]

@jnsash003 They sang this live on Lionel Richie's "All-Time Greatest Love Songs" in 2004.

[6400118]

the best 10 tumbs up...

[multisockmonkey]

Great Ladies both ... and still going strong. Thanks for posting this.

[merylines]

Elaine is the queen :D

[aimeed1968]

i agree it wouldnt b th same without her

[nucciahm]

I love this voices... thanks for sharing this video.

They are really greats singers...

[MTA1966]

OMG! Elaine has worn better than Barbara hasn't she? She still looks fab, but Barbara looks like her Grandmother.

[rightmoment]

@MTA1966

OMG You're very very stupid.

[3373157]

Dickson is the singer here. Paige is an actress. It's criminal that people never really realised how talented Barbara Dickson really was.

[jemb2000]

Barbara Dickson is still alive. She did a 30th Anniversary concert tour last year. She's had plenty of success.

[leicbri]

@3373157 I'm pretty sure Elaine Paige is singing too....

[sparkyoung]

Barbara dickson is a far better singer. She doesn't shout her way through a song

[fandodo223]

I love elaine!

[naivecharm127]

Love it!
