elaine paige as piaf

[@soulboy1965]

Me & my (now ex) boyf, took our 2 Danish friends to see this in 1995. One of them was HIV positive and he'd always wanted to see a West End show. Elaine was amazing and we (along with everyone else) cried our eyes out, with a standing ovation at the end. The boys returned to Denmark & I wrote to Elaine's manager, explaining about our ill friend, she sent a full-size foyer poster signed in gold with our friend's name. We posted it to Denmark and he wept with joy. He died a week later. Thanks EP

[@TheJohnpandy]

What a kind thing for Elaine Paige to do. Thank you for sharing. Jxxx

[@zastorlexa9800]

Lovely story.

[@allancuseo7431]

I’m weeping

[@Max-my6rk]

such a golden friendship and your friend must be so grateful to have a friend like you and Elaine Paige also has such a gold heart.

[@cynthiaennis3107]

What a beautiful thing for you to do for your friends & for you to contact Elaine’s manager & how lovely of them to sign it for him! That’s just all around beautiful! What a great gift of love for your friend who passed! Thank you for sharing this with us. ♥️🙏🏼

[@MrPoochsmooch]

Amazing, Paige makes no attempt to imitate Piaf vocally yet she still captures the spirit her. There's no denying the talent of Elaine Paige!

[@lacsapnosiol]

Congratulations to you, Elaine!
As a Frenchman. I can say I know Piaf on the fingertips. Your performance is genuinely perfect: everything is there! Not just the voice and the emotion but even the gait and the hairdo.
You are truly a great artist!

[@kattoneycliffe6715]

Fully agree, Monsieur❤️

[@lapommerouge7575]

I agree with you . She is great. Bravo!!!👏👏👏👏👏

[@anncarlton4585]

My Sister in Law went to the press preview of this. It was amazing

[@pierrechauderon9396]

I am a Frenchman and of course I know every note of Piaf voice - Elaine is so perfect , so awesome ; she is Piaf even when she sings so perfectly in French ,same inflection and power in her voice . I am stunned !

[@Kruitvat]

I’m stuck on some musical songs on UA-cam the last few days, so I’ve heard quite a few Elaines the last day. This one is by far the best. With other songs I sometimes prefer another performer, but this one is definitely hers. Bravo Elaine.

[@MTA1966]

My favourite singer singing my favourite song and, as ever, she's perfect. One of her best I think.

[@pikofarad1]

What an amazing singer..THE BEST

[@davidwalsh3439]

A wonderful mesmerising performance by the magnificent Elaine Paige. This is one of my all time favourite songs. So many great stars have sung it and this is up there with the very best. What a lady.

[@kournikova9380]

How did EP not win the Olivier for this? I can’t believe it. Truly marvelous.

[@Mr54nomore]

What a great tribute and what a great performance of these two song by the one and only Elaine Paige.
The late Edith Piaf is a national treasure in France. And to honor her life and legacy with this play is a testament to her lasting legacy. And how much she meant to people throughout the world. This performance is just Brilliant!

[@chonaV]

For me, this is the best singing of this beautiful song.

[@johnstrom1060]

A Superb performance of Edith Piaf by Elaine Paige.

[@CanadianBadAss999]

Edith would be proud! Elaine is truly an AMAZING artist! Thx for posting this!

[@earlady66]

Absolutely superb! Bravo EP! She still sings this as perfect as ever!

[@yvonnelenders3253]

AMAZING tribute to the great Edith Piaf!. Bravo.

[@douglaskay9959]

I saw this show in London and it was by far the best performance Elaine Paige has ever performed she was brilliant.

[@paulnewbs997]

Totally agree, best thing she has done, was memorable and brilliant

[@MikeJones-nc8ps]

I never got to see this production with Elaine Paige, but I saw a regional production of Piaf a few years ago. I have had the CD of Piaf with EP, since it was released and a double CD of Edith Piaf.

[@marythomson6951]

Amazing recreation of Edith Piaf chosen by Elaine Paige to bring to the stage.

[@nadinemayette6648]

bravo à Elaine et à Edith chanson magnifique, indémodable.

[@madelynvanzant6810]

Elaine was and is a great performer. Her performance in " Cats was wonderful

[@joannebamfordmccombs9755]

Wow! This beautiful woman took on Edith Piaf's persona quite brilliantly! Amazing. Just Amazing. I am in Awe!

[@madelynvanzant6810]

I watch this performance all the time. These renditions bring chills

[@kattoneycliffe6715]

Every time I've watched this now, I have upped the volume!! Mon Dieu (my God) This is just brilliant, Elaine Paige!!
Not just Brilliant! Exceptionally brilliant!!! Obsessed with this song, No Regrets. The first one is pretty jolly brilliant as well!!

[@shaunwinterflood8318]

She should have won the Olivier award that year. She was so wonderful as Piaf. Marvellous performance xxx

[@madelynvanzant6810]

Wonderful renditions. I still enjoy today. 2019

[@chronosea]

And 2021 😁

[@antoniotermulo9214]

Elaine, U made beautiful music. Many thanks 🙏.👌👍👏🌹🌹❤️❤️

[@Lavendergaljackie2]

She puts real feeling into her singing. She feels each and every word with a passion.

[@tabby73]

Two of my favourite female singers rolled into one lol! Excellent excellent! Elaine is not only a fantastic singer she's also a very talented actress. That was Edith Piaf right there! Her spirit must have enjoyed this performance.

[@54nomore]

This is just beautiful. She is great here, and yes magical and amazing as Piaf.

[@Markalanharman]

One of the best performances of all time, hands down!

[@hazelholmshaw9415]

First time I have seen this of Elaine it was fantastic I'm in ears,thank you.

[@rob-boticscalisthenicshome6355]

Wow, what a performance. Truly gifted actress and singer.

[@stephaniebridges8407]

I've adored Piaf since a very young child. This is the most amazing transformation ever seen. She absolutely becomes Piaf.

[@kurtjackberhalter1537]

I love Elaine Page,and l never tire of watching her!

[@lorenzobianchini4415]

Absolutely brilliant ,especially the second song " Je ne regretted rien".Thank you for letting me see it.

[@briank.bishop482]

I liked your comment... I too am HIV + since '93, I never heard of Piaf until now (something new to check out), but I got hip to Elaine Paige from Andrew LLoyd Webber's "Cats". I know it by heart and every time I hear Elaine sing "Memories" at the end I cry, it is SO beautiful and heartfelt, especially when Jemima joins in for support with Grizibella. Thank you for sharing your story, it was very touching. You sound like a wonderful person, god bless and take care...

[@lapommerouge7575]

WOW ! ! " La vie en rose " I like this song. What a great performance. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@wilhub2804]

it is lovely to see her `become` the singer she is singing, rather than just stand and sing the song

[@ghtsw11]

Quite a few years ago, I had the privilege of seeing Elaine Paige at Hampton Court Palace. She was wonderful (of course). I have always loved "Hymne a l'Amour" and whenever Edith Piaf sings the last verse, the hair stands up on the back of my neck every time. When I saw Elaine Paige sing it live, the hair on the back of my neck stood up throughout the song. That is a great artiste.

[@dianeellis4130]

So perfect! Intriguing! She does this very well in her 40 Years on Stage presentation in 09, just so beautiful!

[@garysmith291]

elaine paige is just fab.love it.xxx

[@bunnymad5049]

Wow. She's just magic. Captivating perfection.

[@claireamer1]

My god that was fantastic!

[@wongfrancis]

This song brings tears to my eyes especially knowing the life that Piaf went through. This is one of the songs that's tailored made to her life. Thr other two being “Mon Dieu” and the ever famous “Non, je ne regrette rien”!

[@lancemurray7107]

Had never heard of Piaf until this. Thank you.

[@piaffreak1]

I saw Elaine as Piaf in Chichester many years ago and was struck by the similarities in looks, absolutely fabulous. She is stunning.

[@juandiegocervantes5685]

This was so beautiful Edith Piafs music was so amazing!!

[@lynharrod5087]

She is pure brilliance!! Talent galore. 4.2020. Thank you.xx

[@gekost79]

Ah at last an actress who sings like Piaf!!!!! Elaine was so so so so amazing in that part!!!

[@jonldn]

She sounds nothing like her.... that’s not a critique of her ... but a wondering on the comparison...

[@pascale4687]

This woman is SPECTACULAR

[@ritvapakkanen1516]

I love when she start to sing Non Je ne regrette rien in French ❤❤❤.

[@Max-my6rk]

This is aw.....fantastic....

she is so bad ass.

[@6843450]

My Gosh! I get chills listening to her! LOVE HER and edith too

[@danhoffman7979]

if you look at the last frames of this and if you look at her face, and if you hear the crystal voice, you will always be a part of magic. BRAVA ELAINE!

[@noahnoah7432]

I want to believe that the my phone's screen shining is what is making me cry right now.

How fantastic was that !!

[@AlainLequere]

Magnifique.... avec un grand M.

[@anthonysmith8800]

To this day, her performance in Piaf, at the Piccadilly theatre in London's West End, is the of the most overwhelming and Jaw-dropping nights I've ever had at the theatre. She absolutely nailed it 💯%. Still gives me goosebumps watching this clip

[@johnkean6852]

Sorry to bother you. Do you remember how long the show rsn?

[@Stewart-px8ow]

Wow! This is the first time I saw Elaine Page preforming her show. I never thought much about her till now.

[@trex1563]

This was by far and away the best thing Paige ever did.

[@joyciejd9673]

Magnificent voice and performance.

[@AmandaSANDYStevenson]

I really loved this rendition.

[@vrcorcuera]

What a great voice!!!. Piaf is on stage at the Teatro Liceo in Buenos Aires since last spring 2022. The main role is interpreted by Elena Roger who was awarded in London for her Piaf.

[@augustocorreia178]

Love love Merci Edith Piaf

[@glennalbert50]

I keep listening to this over and over - she’s brilliant.

[@148jules]

@xXxMusicalHeatherxXx
The song in French is "Hymne a l'amour" (Hymn to Love) and the second song is "Non, je ne regrette rien"

[@AxelleDRouge]

A magical tribute to the great Edith Piaf!! The english version of l'Hymne à l'Amour is quite different in the lyrics but still Edith Piaf! And Non, je ne regrette rien, with a english accent very special but beautiful!

[@mbln100]

WOW thanks for posting! I saw the original "Piaf" show in London (in the 1990ies I guess, my memory's fading) and with Elaine as Piaf urinating and f*** on stage it was the most amazing and progressive musical production at that time, unfortunately it didn't last that long...

[@jonldn]

Hi. In fact the original production of Piaf was done by the RSC in 1978 with the sublime Jane lapotaire who re created the role on Broadway and won the Tony....

[@lasktdave]

She peed and fell? Was that part of the show or accidental?

[@tabby73]

@@lasktdave I think part of the show. Piaf was very ill with cancer.

[@hazelholmshaw9415]

My dad introduced me t Piaf in 1950 when I was 10 I'm now 82 and still havnt heard anyone any better she was fantastic.

[@795margarita]

[@JulianChild]

Anything else I've seen Ms. Paige do, I just could not enjoy it; didn't think much of her. She always came across to me as "acting." This performance, however, earns her the highest of praises. I've watched it a few times and she just blows me away.

[@bucks8789]

Lovely clip.She also looks like Bette Davis in this !
