    3:00. Wow. That's how you hit that note. Heather Headley doesn't hold back. I love how she sings with all her might, but with delicacy and control. An iron fist in a velvet glove.

    The thing I love about her is not only the amount of emotions she puts into her performance,but the many layers in her voice. She has so many textures and tones throughout the performance, and has beautiful dynamic delivery. She’s just absolutely exquisite

      John Hill , I am trying (really hard) to figure out how you could have possibly seen Enlightened Femme's comment as racist when it was clearly a condemnation of racism. Also, don't assume someone else is untalented. Enlightened Femme may also be a singer. Heather Headley graduated the same year as I did from a neighboring school. Everybody raved about her voice to the point where I was just kind of sick of hearing about her. I was never that curious about her/it, TBH, but I am doing a little research of my own for a performance I will be giving soon, and I am comparing different styles. This is my first time listening to her. I think her voice is very powerful and it is one of the better performances I have heard. She does a great job of sounding ethereal on the "Like a flower" verse. I would say she nailed that verse more than anyone else I have heard sing it. If I had any negative remarks, it would be that she seems to get kind of a "strangled" or "choked" sound in parts. I also see her as more of a straight-up singer than a singer-actress. I wouldn't mind seeing a bit more Grizabella and a bit less Heather Headley here. But yeah, undeniable talent at work here. It's kind of sickening.

  • @LiteraryPrince
    @LiteraryPrince 9 ปีที่แล้ว +665

    To compare this performance to Elaine Paige is adolescent musical theatre criticism. Vocally this was spot on. If you have seen Heather live you will understand how she engulfs the moment with emotion and returns musical excellence. This was magic I must say. Why do we compare other musicians/ artists to others? As a kid seeing Betty Buckley sing this song was beyond moving, but this performance is just as spellbinding! HATERS WILL HATE! So keep doing your job! You betta belt that D!

    This is practically a case study on how emotion makes a performance.
    Memory is a song that a lot of musicians sing because it’s easy for them to make a great performance out of,at least that’s what they think.
    But singing the climax of this song with a smile on your face is basically devaluing the performance and showing how you clearly don’t respect the song in it’s context. It’s supposed to be a desperate plea for repentance. It’s not in any way joyful.
    Heather didn’t do that though. She poured her heart and soul into this song and it showed. At 3:19 you can hear her about to cry without actually crying while still making it work. Think about that. You can hear her feelings through sheer vocal dedication.

  • @Kibouo
    @Kibouo 5 ปีที่แล้ว +159

    This is quite a different interpretation in terms of the vocal dynamics and ornamentation, as well as her voice type, which has a thick mezzo middle range, all of which I love. For example the “of my days in the sun” line is often sung softly and with a regular lyric soprano, so it’s quite refreshing to hear a stronger lower range. However, she also manages to make her voice delicate, such as at the beginning and end. Great performance.

    Comparing this to Elaine Page singing the song in full costume on stage is comparing apples to oranges. This is a vocal performance at a TV show in a pretty dress, she's simply not trying to play Grizabella here. That doesn't mean she's doing it wrong, or worse, it's a different thing.
    This might be my new favorite rendition of Memory, the power in the climax is something else and I really love how she sings the ending differently than other performers do. And even though it's not a musical performance, she still manages to deliver a ton of emotion and especially the desparate, reckless expression of frustration that makes the climax of Memory stand out so much.

    Midnight
    Not a sound from the pavement
    Has the moon lost her memory
    She is smiling alone
    In the lamplight
    The withered leaves collect at my feet
    And the wind begins to moan
    Memory
    All alone in the moonlight
    I can smile happy your days (I can dream of the old days)
    Life was beautiful then
    I remember the time I knew what happiness was
    Let the memory live again
    Every street lamp seems to beat
    A fatalistic warning
    Someone mutters and the street lamp gutters
    And soon it will be morning
    Daylight
    I must wait for the sunrise
    I must think of a new life
    And I mustn't give in
    When the dawn comes
    Tonight will be a memory too
    And a new day will begin
    Burnt out ends of smoky days
    The still cold smell of morning
    A street lamp dies, another night is over
    Another day is dawning
    Touch me,
    It is so easy to leave me
    All alone with the memory
    Of my days in the sun
    If you touch me,
    You'll understand what happiness is
    Look, a new day has begun
