There are many versions of this song...but Elaine's version is by far the most superior - her voice is exquisite and haunting. It never fails to give me gossebumps on goosebumps....and tears in my eyes. 😢 ❤

Elaine Paige will always ALWAYS be the definitive Grizabella

[fatimabaeta]

Ms. Paige is magnificent. Now I can see why Miss Susan Boyle admires her. Also happy to know that Miss Boyle has proven herself.

Elaine Paige there will never be anyone as fenomenal as her everyone else are good but her vibrato is just brilliant..

[boduab]

I was lucky enough to see this back in the day. It is the only version i will accept. 😂

[jassychanVO]

Nobody's talking about Jemima, my favourite part of this song ❤

[amangogna]

Amazing musical with fantastic singers !

[janetsanders]

Elaine Paige plays the weathered but not beaten female elder. She is Grizabella. The role is hers forever.

[rebeccadennen]

Love this one and Jennifer Hudson’s from the movie

[Goliath]

It truly is a toss-up for me between Elaine Paige's performance here and Betty Buckley's performance at the Tony Awards in 1983.

5:03 Grizzabella: And so shines a good deed, in a weary world....😌

[thetimedrivers]

This is amazing…

But not as good as Betty Buckley

[douglasrodgers]

Paige's vocals are spot on, but her acting is terrible. Cats are dignified, not overwrought and pathetic.
