Question

Post by lori » Mon Apr 27, 2009 4:27 pm

Needless to say, I am so impressed with Susan Boyle... By now perhaps I would not recognize her with possibly the makeovers etc.. but I hope so... My question is .. She refers to Alayne Page... Is this a very well known singer in Britain ? And if so , someone on the Forum, tell me about her .. Have all of you seen or heard her? I have heard Matt's song " Curiouser and Curriouser "( thanks to Mariana) Love it as all the rest .. I love everything he sings, of course... Well anyway , I was just curious about Alayne Page......

Susan Boyle was referring to Elaine Paige, Lori. She is a great singer, fabulous voice, mostly sings numbers from musicals. I think she has a spot on Radio 2 as well.

HI Lori--yes Curiouser and Curiouser is a really nice song.

As John says, Elaine Paige is a really well known singer here--mostly sings show tunes, has starred in lots of musicals, including Evita, Cats---in which she sang "Memory" which is probably her most well known recording. She now does a programme on radio 2, every Sunday, in which she features music from the musicals.

I suppose she is quite popular there in Britain....Was on the Forum early... rainy day here in Kansas... Good day for listening to Matt M... But sunny days also Take care... hope you are`having sunshine.;....

Elaine Paige was interviewed recently and she said she is going on a Tennis holiday to Miami later on in the year with a friend, hoping to play lots of tennis, as lomg as her knees allow. :)

Lori -- Elaine Paige was interviewed on Good Morning America last week. Did you see that? I believe they introduced her as the "grande dame of British Musical Theatre." But I'm sure she's starred on Broadway as well. She has a very loyal following in the US. I particularly liked her recording of Edith Piaf songs.
