Her rendition is perfect - she starts off hesitant, and then uses the music to grow more and more confident and expressive, peaking at just the right second.

Elaine has been able to set a standard very high for any actress to follow her performances. As Eva Peron, as Grizabella, as Norma Desmond, anyone, she's the one they always compare to. She's incredible.

Having seen Glenn Close, Patti Lupone and Betty Buckley in Sunset Blvd. It is Elaine Paige's performance that is still my favorite. All did fine work but Elaine Norma Desmond was amazing.

Totally agree with you and you nailed it on the head. All of those actresses are great, but no one could compare to what Elaine did with this character and the singing of ....Never said Goodbye.

I saw Elaine in the London production. She was truly incredible. Watching her, it made me wonder why on earth she wasn't chosen for the part originally.
@fergusmurray18283 жыл бұрын
I think the sole reason was she didn’t have an international appeal, she had never been to Broadway until a replacement for Betty was needed. Patti had by then won awards on both the West End and Broadway, much more bankable.

Elaine sings these ALW lyrics like nobody else can. Each phrase she sings about the character, (Norma Desmond) in Sunset Boulevard leaves you wanting to hear more about the story. This has to be one of the most fantastic performances in musical lyrics, the character of silent stage star Norma Desmond. This is her song.

I saw Elaine Paige in Sunset Blvd in 1995 in London. She won me over and made that my favorite musical of all time. I saw it a lot of times while I was there. She was amazing. Glenn Close is also good and portrays the desperate side of Norma better, but Elaine (to me) has a much better voice. Again Elaine was so amazing. I spent every free moment I had at the Adelphi Theatre (and a lot of British pounds) watching that show. Worth every penny.

I don't know why I'm frightened I know my way around here The cardboard trees, the painted seas, the sound here Yes, a world to rediscover But I'm not in any hurry And I need a moment The whispered conversations In overcrowded hallways The atmosphere is thrilling here as always Feel the early morning madness Feel the magic in the making Why, everything's as if we never said goodbye I've spent so many mornings just trying to resist you I'm trembling now, you can't know how I've missed you Missed the fairytale adventure In this ever-spinning playground We were young together I'm coming out of makeup The light's already burning Not long until the cameras will start turning And the early morning madness And the magic in the making Yes, everything's as if we never said goodbye I don't want to be alone That's all in the past This world's waited long enough I've come home at last! And this time will be bigger And brighter than we knew it So watch me fly, we all know I can do it Could I stop my hands from shaking? Has there ever been a moment With so much to live for? The whispered conversations In overcrowded hallways So much to say, not just today but always We'll have early morning madness We'll have magic in the making Yes, everything's as if we never said goodbye Yes, everything's as if we never said goodbye We taught the world new ways to dream
