- A massive milestone in Elaine's career -her first performance in America, and almost 10 years before her Broadway debut.
She is here singing to President and First Lady Reagan in their annual 'Showstoppers' concert at the White House, with Marvin Hamlisch at one of the pianos.

She sings like she’s speaking. She’s amazing and her facial and voice emotion is so raw. You feel the pain in the lyrics
So effortless and powerful.
What a class act...nobody ever came close to this talent. ..
Patty lupone Betty Buckley Glenn close Bernadette peters?!?!?🎉❤
@@michaelparbatule they wish love🤣🤣🤣
Gawd what a gorgeous voice! I can’t stop listening to her 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Spectacular
If I'd been there I'd have given her a standing ovation.. that was so beautiful
It's very beautiful and emotional, we can feel the feelings thought her voice and facial expressions...👏❤️🌹
Some times I watch a video and wish I was there in the room experiencing it for real, this is one of those videos.
Everyone keeps going on about Patti Lupones original Evita, but here is the original, the best understanding of the music and the best xx
The first is Julie Covington
@@ouiouipekpek I ment the first to play Eva on stage, sorry for the confusion x
@hefinrosser8685 the first to play on stage was Elaine Paige in the West End. Patti was the first in Broadway.
Very touching renditions of two great songs, that under the right circumstances can reduce me to tears. The subtle inflections and nuances, before a smaller venue generated such intimacies, made this performance warm and very personal. A number of years ago my late wife and I, by coincidence, took a cruise and the featured artists was Elaine Paige ! She just knocks me out. But now- most of the time, the tears come easily because my love is not here to share these special songs. Thank You Elaine Paige, you touch me every day of my life !
She added a lot more pop style in this performance. She probably felt she needed to cater to the taste of the American audience.
I dont mean to be off topic but does any of you know of a method to log back into an instagram account??
I stupidly lost the login password. I love any tips you can offer me!

Simple Music can make you sing. a Simple hug can make you feel better, Simple things can make you happy, I hope my Simple Hello makes you smile...
Wow, if you compare this version to the version she did when was older, they feel so different, just different.
This version is a little faster like the record single version whereas in later years especially late 90s onward musicals became very high fashion again and she tended to sing the slower more "acted" version. She has such a character to her voice though which shines through in this song. Even in powerful sections there is a fragility to her voice that you can feel and pulls you in.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Elaine should have been in the film.
Aww, look at Mr. Reagan!
I miss that time.
@@marleneg7794 ...perhaps your memory has made things hazy. Everything wrong with our society started in the 80s when reagan was president. Walk down memory lane with me...
1. He brought in NAFTA
2. His government allowed for all essential services like electricity, natural gas were deregulated and privatized,
3. Hospitals and long term care institutions were shut down and thousands of mentally and physically challenged people were made homeless in one fell swoop
I could go on, but it would probably be a waste of time and effort. Most republicans have chosen to forget what damage he caused to the poor and middle class people ... and have made him a saint.
For myself, I say that justice was served, when soon after his presidency, he got Alsziemers, and was hidden away till he died.
‘Tis a pity that Meryl Streep didn’t do theater anymore after she got married and became a mother. I can just imagine what she might have done with a role like Evita in the theater and on film.

The singer Elane Page has a strong relationship to the spy activity. Therefore she is still here. She has sung "Don't cry for me Argentina" and "Memory'' for 50 years.
Both terrific songs; either one is better in context of its show. They weren't written as concert pieces, and while they're really good as that, their power isn't on offer the way it is in the show.
Julie Covington had the original hit with Don't Cry for Me Argentina
Apologies yes Julie Covington was the first to sing the role xx
Honey voice like buttah 🌹
She would say she's an actress first and singer second
she makes so much noise when she catches one's breath
Kinda curious what Bea performed....lol
It sounded like a monologue of some kind. I miss the 80s
Here's the full program.

Don't cry for me Argentina was NOT originally sung by Elaine paige, it was originally recorded by Julie Covington for the 1976 concept album Evita, which was then made into the musical by Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber and sung by Elaine paige in 1978.
And the original is a hell of a lot better listen, czcams.com/video/jym1ybvV7Ak/video.html
C Cummings each to their own. Can't we just enjoy it? Elaine has entertained us for over 40 years and is a stellar performer. Nobody is the best at anything. Please. Just enjoy. 👍
After 2 minutes of her singing, she was out sung by Nicole Scherzinger. She also sings Memory better. And all I ask of you from Phantom.
Simple Music can make you sing. a Simple hug can make you feel better, Simple things can make you happy, I hope my Simple Hello makes you smile...
The greatest cover of this song “Don’t Cry for me Argentina’” was by the late great Karen Carpenter. This version was ok
no
Paige's version is the best. Karen Carpenter brings a different element and is gorgeous.
This has to be the worst version of Don't Cry For Me Argentina that I have ever heard by far!!
You should be a comedian - or get your ears syringed
She's absolutely over rated. I've heard better down at my local community theatre.
No. You have not. Nice job betraying your total lack of taste, though.
It's not her voice
It's just her performance, just compare her Chess songs ,especially mountain duet with Tommy Korberg to other interpreters !
must pop down there, has to be some excellent singers
Where do you live?? Lol...not a chance.
Brian Imoto then what the hell are you doing here? Move along..
