Elaine Paige

[vernonk]

She just murdered Don't Cry For Me Argentina. Her voice is not a patch on what it used to be. Why don't singers like her, Elton, Macca, etc, realise when they're past it and pack it in?

[shoota]

Indeed, seconded!

[Mamyalynne]

Wasn't good.

[ladybirder]

Hear Hear vernonk.

[Elina]

I don't know, it's a real shame. What a lovely lady she is though when interviewed, very bubbly and warm.

[wolf63]

I agree with you vernonk - won't happen again.

:-D

[NellieMay]

I always have to turn off Elaine Paige! Didn't have to watch the results. I cheated and found them last night just to avoid her.

[shoota]

You did well, Nell....

It was execrable.

[NellieMay]

Never have liked her and those awful Sunday afternoon shows of hers are a nightmare!

[Elina]

What was she on vernonk?

[shoota]

Strictly results

[Elina]

Ah, thanks shoot a.

[Captain2]

Result for me. Went looking at Radio 2 for Elaine Page rendition; found that Clare Teal has been moved forward to 7 - 9pm - excellent, now playing. Wondered where she'd gone - can't stand Claudia Winkleman who is now on in Clare's old slot (9 - 11pm)

[jennyjoan]

she does sing through her nose now.

The definitive version of 'Don't cry for me Argentina' has always belonged to Julie Covington.

Far too many singers limp on long after their voices have diminished.

[Elina]

Trying to find a link to that performance ..

[Islay]

And yet she will still be a superior singer to those criticising her on here!

[shoota]

You don't know that for a fact Islay.

And it wouldn't be hard to be better on this showing.

[Elina]

She's a lady of advancing years that still has stage presence. Her voice however has deteriorated.

[vernonk]

She spoke half the song
