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

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.

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!
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.
