  • Betty understands this song perfectly. Elaine's a talented performer, but she changed the song to make it some sob-tale. "Memory" is Grizabella explaining that although she has aged and has been ostracized, she is still the Glamour Cat.

    It's a song of undying pride and a longing that others would still see her beauty. It is NOT a "I'm hopeless" breakdown.

  • That "touch me" is not normal. The best belt of all time.

  • @xMastJedi Look! it's your ass. No, wait! It's a hole in the ground! Wait a minute....

  • bravo!

  • I can't agree with AtLastOnTheGround.

    This song is about solitude, about someone who's not accepted by rest cats. And for me - Betty perfect PLAY Grizabella, but Elaine IS Grizabella. I can't hear in Betty's voice ANY emotion. It's just perfect SUNG a song. Like Barbara Straisand's version.

    In Elaine Paige one word from this song is much more emotion than in hole song Betty and Barbara altogether.

  • Betty singing this has been giving me chills since I first heard it as a child in the 80's...NO ONE does/did it like her...

  • This rendition gives me chills!Her vouice is so clear like a flute!! as the daughter of a musicion I grew up with Motown 2 This!!chacka69 2012

  • 1:28 is the single most powerful vocal sound I have ever heard. It is like a nuke going off.

  • That belt just gets you straight to the bone.  Haunting yet beautiful/

  • So much power and elegance in her voice

  • What a "Stand-up  performance!
