You and I- Elaine Paige & Michael Ball

Elaine Paige and Michael Ball performing the song "You and I" from the musical Chess! The best version in my opinion;)

[@22professional]

I'm in heaven. I could listen to this forever. Musical theatre at its best.

[@kevhippo]

Two power houses of British Musical theatre - outstanding

[@candidamachin]

Elaine Paige puts them all in the shade. Her voice is just unbelievable. Love her!!!!

[@StreepMirrenSmith]

Elaine's voice sounds particularly incredible here!

[@joannecarroll1]

All I can say is "WOW"!!!!! Elaine IS unbelievable

[@hemeljohn1]

Spine tingling performance from exceptional performers.

[@jonpaget]

Nice one! MBall and EPaige doing Chess! Superb combo!

[@beverleyshevals2749]

Elaine Paige and Michael Ball are awesome together singing xxx 🎤🎤🎤🎤❤️💙

[@hobbily]

Oh my god E.P and M.B doing a brilliant version both these voices send shivers up my spine

[@OperatorThirteen]

This is fantastic - I'm a rabid MB fan and I thought nothing could beat the OLC recording of You and I, but this does. Why, why, WHY have they only recorded one song together (and an unremarkable Christmas song at that)! They seriously need to get back in the studio.

[@majaalofs7800]

I have to laugh...when I read those comments about Elaine and Michael.This is so good and flawless ! I am a singer myself and this Chess at his best.......

[@jeh500]

A great duet sung by 2 real pros with glorious voices.

[@MTA1966]

Elaine's voice in this is amazing...........at the height of her powers here.

[@yanndick]

Amazing how many people didn't know Elaine Paige so far ! Did they never hear about EVITA and "Don't cry for me Argentina", CATS and "Memory" before ?

[@ACIDICcitric]

most perfect pairing

[@myelwood]

THIS is how this wondeerful song should be sung!

[@theuns42]

Absolute wonderful

[@egeotomasyon]

Elaine is a gift from God.

[@whenpigsfly2]

Nothing says lungs like Elaine Paige on this live performance. I do think Tommy K has a slight edge by the age over Ball. But I am amazed, agog all those things at the sheer power of the performance! WOW!

[@marythomson6951]

Excellent voices and a strong performance.

[@DesHouston]

Absolutely brilliant!! One of my favourite songs from Chess!! And beautifully sung by 2 of my favourite singers!! Would love to have seen them together in a musical in the West End!! Sighs!!

[@rhyattgere4833]

Wow. Both of them. I just... wow. I love Chess, but always found this song boring. But seeing it performed live. Wow.

[@christinatheron3781]

Beautiful!!!

[@njpham]

I would love to hear them sing I Want To Spend My Lifetime Loving You

[@ALROB62]

what a pair!

[@romanticspirit]

JUST Beautiful!!! Come to Canada!! BRAVO!!!!

[@lrthorne]

Fabulous version of a great song! There is simply no match for Elaine Page!

[@TheTowerBridgeFox]

Great version.

[@anorian7992]

Michael Ball sings it better than any version, others usually over act and scream because they do not have the range or control.

[@DesHouston]

Fantastic - la Paige rules!!

[@suzannebenz8928]

Dear Michael!!!!! Love those soft curls, blue eyes and charm!!!!!

[@orichalcum1]

marvelous....

[@suzannebenz8928]

Dear Michael: I am so smitten with you!!!!!!

[@chickenzrule]

Despite the fact that Michael is a damned good singer, no one can sing this song like Tommy Korberg!

[@jazzbobrown]

So the ring has ended; Susan's performance makes millions surf KZbin and discover great music; Elaine Paige gets new attention! Did you know that Elaine performed in the first ABBA musical named "ABBACADABRA" in 1983 already? Yes, based on ABBA songs, looong before Mamma Mia! and even before "Chess", (which this song is from)! And who was behind [the script of] ABBACADABRA? The composers of "Les Miserables"! Now, let's hope the ABBA composers make a movie out of 'Chess' instead of a MMsequel

[@HalGermany]

Has Michael ever been to Germany? Does anybody know that. He is so wonderful!

[@MTA1966]

Completely agree. I really think that Kerry would have been a MUCH better Florence that Idina - who I really didn't think was that great.

[@raingiver]

I grudgingly have to agree.

[@tvdirectortom]

Hear, hear!

[@ThomasAdamLamb]

When was this recorded or on tv? Anyone know? EP looks amazing

[@murielbarker4311]

Sunday radio2 morning 11 oclock MICHAEL 1PM Elaine brillant

[@coolchris12345]

Elaine Page brought me here. I never heard of Susan Boyle...

[@kevhippo]

Not sure what wording they have changed as this is identical to the orignal concept album version.

[@Skruttangel]

There already is a Chess movie made :)

[@alidaylami8073]

what year was this?

[@comactortony]

@chickenzrule tru dat! Michaels BIG BALLSY BOMBASTIC voice is fine for those BIG (boring) Webber notes but, he CAN'T HANDLE the nuance and depth that CHESS requires. I've seen CHESS on broadway & tons of college & community choirs doing Chess. and NOBODY BUT NOBODY not even the adorable/smooth&sweet Josh Grobin, comes close to TOMMY! HE DA MAN

[@jacquelinekiggin8929]

mlchàelball the best way to be a few months ago but I don't know if you have to be a few days ago and time I've been looking at the first time I had to be the best way I don't know what to be the best way is my resume for a few months ago and the best and I will I don't know how to be a few months and time for sure you will be a few months ago I am I had to be the same here the best way is my resume for you have the best and I am I don't know if you will be the best way is to be the same here the first time I don't know if you have to be the first throughout the same pppp I don't you and the best I don't you have a place to do it I don't be a few months ago I am I don't know how the same here I had the best way is to be the first time I am be mechanical engineering in electronics and the first time for you will

[@DavidSmith-kc4hz]

I am not a fan of Ball but I have to say his voice blended particularly well with Page, in this number. Yes! he did sing endang but they both, annoyingly, sang our-wer at the end instead of our using the U vowel. They did, however, both sing ' hearts desire' without going onto the temptation of making it desire-er, often a fault with singers with such words as fire-yer.

[@pommac10]

wow! He is second best, on this one..not bad! When you heard Tommy nail this song - Its just kareoke from others! -sorry... Even Elain had to do her max, or crumble beside him. But she managed.. so well...

[@sachseco]

LOVE THIS DUET SO MUCH BUT IT IS SPOILED BY MICHAEL'S "ENDANG" INSTEAD OF ENDING. WATCH THE BARITONE, LEONARD WARREN, HE SINGS THE "I" VOWEL WITH THE MOUTH IN A SMILE & THE MOUTH ALMOST CLOSED. LEARN FROM LEONARD!

[@KeldorDAntrell]

There's something wrong with your hearing, mate. :D

[@cezaryjeaux4]

Susan Boyle brought me here! Go Susan!

[@Grizabella82]

Tommy is a much better singer than MB. But Elaine is great in this.

[@MagnusNordstrand_Private]

Ok, Elaine isn't bad but she has a quite annoying nasal voice. I think she has a really good diction in the way she sings. But this orchestra arrangement was terrible, and Michael Ball's voice (as several people has already pointed out) isn't well suited for the music in Chess. Tommy Körberg is soo much better suited to perform Benny's music (after all he wrote it for him to perform as he has done with lots of his music.) and he does it way better than any other I've heard or seen doing Chess.

[@gillsmyth]

Elaine Page brought me here. I never heard of Susan Boyle...

[@hardiyahoo]

Susan Boyle brought me here! Go Susan!
