I think it's cool susan boyle wants to do what Elaine Paige can do, and I think she has the potential. But I don't think she wants to BE paige, so I'm kinda sick of ppl comparing BOyle to Paige. They're both talented, and I actually looove Paige...
i know this song since i was 10 but i don't know the singer, no media about elaine paigne in Thailand, CATS's version in Thailand was sung by Thai singer....
me too. I'm from Thailand and I'm just 20 so i don't know who is Elaine Paige ,
but after i listened "Memory by Elaine Paige " I think I like Elaine Paige's version than Susan's version. I think I used to listen this song 10 years ago.
But I still like "I dream a dream-Susan's version"
I love Susan, too, but it is obvious who leads here. Elaine's vocals are perfect. Her acting is perfect. Watching her, you BELIEVE she is a cat who has used up her 9 lives and then some.
To those who think Barbara is better then Elaine? listen to her singing this same song in concert in London...she has more soul in one finger then Barbara has in her body when it comes to feeling a song. Plus? She doesn't have the mega ego to go with her talent. She's a pleasure to listen to and watch.
Elaine is awsome... and she has the brains to stick to what she does best and thats singing... As for Barbara she's egotistical and when she talks politics she shows just how STUPID she is.
Had never heard of Elaine. She can thank Susan for introducing her to a new audience. Hope they both continue to be successful each in their own way. Susan has a naturally powerful voice seemingly able to produce beautiful sounds with little effort. Elaine is powerful too but with effort.y. Let's hope we can enjoy both these great talents.
Rock on Susan Boyle! I didn't know who Elaine Paige was either! Great singers but don't think they keep up with my fav Sahra Brightman! ¤ø„¸¨°º¤ø„...ø¤º° ¸„ø¤º°¨¸„ø¤º°¨
I thought I was the only one to like this song but not "CATS." I saw a video and wasn't impressed. Just didn't have enough substance for me. Maybe this song of course.
I agree with you absolutely. This is a great song sung extremely well, but "Cats" wasn't worth squat. The era of "My Fair Lady", "Music Man", "Carousel", et al is gone and with it the most talented contemporary composers and writers seem to be flailing away helplessly. The only exception to that has been "Phantom of the Opera", but this has mostly been a bleak three decades for Broadway.
I love this movie. If you didn't know this is the movie version. Anyways, She sings beautifully every time she sings but, I think in this scene she sounds the best. Also have you heard Jamima sing? Wow! She rocks!!!!!
Elaine Paige played this part beautifully... no matter how many times I see Cats, this performance of Memory by her always brings me to shed a tear... partly due to the immense feeling that it expresses, and partly due to it's sheer beauty. Briliant...
Take a look at - 10 year old sings memory, she is fantastic so much emotion from a 10 year old
