DITCH CLOSE! She can't sing and over-acts! OMG, Elaine is brilliant in this. I had good memories of her doing this on Broadway, but look at her acting-- SUPERB! She is THE musical-actress of our time.
I love Elaine Paige, and she does an incredible job on this song... But the one thing Id like to know is why, regardless of who is singing, the performer is always wearing this costume... its the wrong costume for the part of the show this number comes from...
That voice fills the auditorium, and gives me chills--even in my living room! For a brief moment, I am transported to old Hollywood--thank you Norma/Elaine!
@ddoohhaa A bit much????This is a play,it is make up.Who gives a shit about the make up. Listen to the voice. Sheer perfection,the acting ,nothing better. Wake up.
Elaine Paige needs to do a cast album of her and cast performing the musical of Sunset Blvd...Shes the only Norma Desmond...Glenn Close come in second....
This is from her DVD celebrating 40 years in musical theater. Isn't she grand??!!! The whole DVD is just wonderful...and was made only last year. She's still got it!! :)

What an artiste, what poise and dignity even before she opens her mouth! She turns quite a mundane song into a painting of worth.

What a fantastic clip. I saw Sunset Boulevard with Petula Clark and she was also sensational.
