Description: Check out my new video for Susan Boyle's recording<br />of "I Dreamed A Dream"<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ah7MAuyew3I<br /><br />This video features audio from a live recording of a 1993 concert that Elaine Paige gave for the BBC at the Birmingham Symphony Hall<br /><br />======================<br /><br />With the recent success of Susan Boyle's performance of the song on "Britain's Got Talent" contest, I was curious to find out how her version of the song compared to her idol Elaine Paige's version. I looked through my CD collection and found this rendition on Elaine Paige's "Encore" CD. I knocked this video together in about an hour and a half. I think both versions are wonderful, each in their own way. <br /><br />The video is taken from the French film called "L'Homme de sa vie," translated: "The Man of My Life."<br /><br />And if you haven't heard Susan Boyle sing this song, you OWE it to yourself to listen to it:<br /><br />Susan Boyle - I Dreamed A Dream<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY<br /><br />Also, don't forget to check out:<br />Susan Boyle - Cry Me A River<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaFtjZItK5M<br /><br />And please check out my video of Andrea McArdle singing I Dreamed A Dream. I think Andrea's voice is actually closer to Susan Boyle's than Elaine Paige's. <br /><br />Andrea McArdle - I Dreamed A Dream<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBszmW2mLEQ<br /><br />I Dreamed A Dream<br /><br />There was a time when men were kind,<br />And their voices were soft,<br />And their words inviting.<br />There was a time when love was blind,<br />And the world was a song,<br />And the song was exciting.<br />There was a time when it all went wrong...<br /><br />I dreamed a dream in days gone by,<br />When hope was high and life worth living.<br />I dreamed that love would never die,<br />I dreamed that God would be forgiving.<br />Then I was young and unafraid,<br />And dreams were made and used and wasted.<br />There was no ransom to be paid,<br />No song unsung, no wine untasted.<br /><br />But the tigers come at night,<br />With their voices soft as thunder,<br />As they tear your hope apart,<br />And they turn your dream to shame.<br /><br />He slept a summer by my side,<br />He filled my days with endless wonder...<br />He took my childhood in his stride,<br />But he was gone when autumn came!<br /><br />And still I dream he'll come to me,<br />That we will live the years together,<br />But there are dreams that cannot be,<br />And there are storms we cannot weather<br /><br />I had a dream my life would be<br />So different from this hell I'm living,<br />So different now from what it seemed...<br />Now life has killed the dream I dreamed...<br />The dream I dreamed
