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
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!
I’m stuck on some musical songs on RUclips 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.
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.

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!

I saw this show in London and it was by far the best performance Elaine Paige has ever performed she was brilliant.
it is lovely to see her `become` the singer she is singing, rather than just stand and sing the song
How did EP not win the Olivier for this? I can’t believe it. Truly marvelous.
Wow, what a performance. Truly gifted actress and singer.
Ah at last an actress who sings like Piaf!!!!! Elaine was so so so so amazing in that part!!!
A Superb performance of Edith Piaf by Elaine Paige.
For me, this is the best singing of this beautiful song.
My favourite singer singing my favourite song and, as ever, she's perfect. One of her best I think.
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.
What an amazing singer..THE BEST
What a great tribute and what a great performance of these two song by the one and only Elaine Paige.
Edith would be proud! Elaine is truly an AMAZING artist! Thx for posting this!
AMAZING tribute to the great Edith Piaf!. Bravo.
Amazing recreation of Edith Piaf chosen by Elaine Paige to bring to the stage.
Absolutely superb! Bravo EP! She still sings this as perfect as ever!
She should have won the Olivier award that year. She was so wonderful as Piaf. Marvellous performance xxx
