RIP 2018: Marin was so talented and will forever have a place in my theatrical heart. This performance and every one of her performances were emotional and touching. Thank you for your gift.
That last "or were you just being kind" sends shivers down my spine everytime. It sounds like a slight crack, like the character has a lump in her throat and she's on the verge of tears. You can hear and feel the betrayal. It puts a lump in mine everytime. What a masterclass in stage performance.
I can't understand any criticism of her facial expressions. She looks perfect. Her expressions show the pain and confusion of the character. Some people just don't understand theatre.
What that woman is doing is not JUST singing. That my friends is what we call acting a song. If you're being honest, and you're doing it right, acting isn't "pretty". Same goes for singing. And same goes especially when you're doing both. Which she is. Good for you Marin Mazzie. You Go Girl!
I can no longer listen to anyone else sing this song. A master class in acting and singing all at once. Every emotion is done with her face, her eyes, her voice. It's a slow build and the character is completely different at the end of the song than at the beginning...all done in 4 minutes. In lesser hands, someone would feel the need to move around in order to convey the character's state. But with Marin we see that it is emotional paralysis and her lack of movement brings that home. Her phrasing, her breath control, the final small intake of breath at the end...amazing. We witness a woman unraveling and the emotional payoff of the end is entirely earned.
Marin Mazzie is a talent the I just discovered. Her voice and carriage on the stage was magnificent. All of her work was marvelous. Losing My Mind has to be my absolute favorite, I read in another review that it makes the reviewer cry every time she hears it. I feel the same way. Marin was very beautiful, had a great voice and I feel like every time I hear her sing this song she crawls into my heart and takes up residence. Unfortunately she's gone now. I'll never have the privilege of hearing her perform live but she is on recordings. Thank you for sharing your marvelous talent with us.
Oh, my god. I am a little speechless after seeing this. I have performed this song in a cabaret setting. Even that feels like being punched in the stomach. Just to sing it in any context, feels like being emptied of everything because of the nature of the song. As a performer, this song is just as gut wrenching as it is for the audience to hear. It feels like your heart is being ripped right out of you, as you move toward the inevitable climax of this song. I can only imagine how it feels to perform the song in this context, where she is performing this in such a high profile setting. My god, Marin Mazzie was a national treasure. This is one of the greatest performances I have ever seen. Our loss of her is an incalculable loss to musical theatre and performing arts. But we are that much luckier that she graced us with her presence and talent.
Simply brilliant. Ms. Mazzie just stands there and delivers the goods. No gimmicks; no over gesticulation. I feel her love, anger, confusion, sense of betrayal, and heartache...and connect with it all. Brava!
WOW. I was always a huge fan of BPeters for the innocence that she plays in the song, but Mazzie takes it to a whole different emotion. Like, serious tears here.
I just randomly learned the other day that Marin passed a few year ago. What a lovely talent she had, glad we can still enjoy it and more can still discover her. ❤️
I’m I the only one still utterly devastated?!? As I prepare for another audition based off of this rendition… I can’t help the tears streaming down my face from our losing this jewel from our thespian world… I only can pray to have such an impact as she has had on us who keeps us coming back to this video after a decade. I love you Marin. Thank you for your influence and contributions. I hope to keep your name alive with my continued success.
I love this song and no one comes close to Ms Mazzie's interpretation of it. It is stunning. And, to think that she did it while surrounded by the most notable Divas of her time. Her accomplishment is unforgettable. Just look at the expressions on her colleagues' faces. They could not believe what they were hearing. It was a combination of deeply felt pathos and triumphant determination
@@manuelducretiii8142 All right already! You've made your point that you're the smartest person on this earth when it comes to Broadway. However, it would seem from the rest of these comments that you are very much in the minority. It is also noted that you worked backstage, not performing onstage.
@@susanlandsman9572 But I've heard the actors state how a lousy response from the audience stops them from doing their best. She also may have been aching to do Follies onstage sometime.
English isn't my first language, and this concert was what prompted me to learn it for the most part. 6 years after this discovery and me getting my C1 certificate Marin still sends shivers down my spine, just as she did when I first discovered this performance. Thank you for this, I will forever regret not being able to hear you perform live.
She delivered a masterclass in vocal control and proper utilization of emotional context. You can see a torch song turning into a breakdown. Each note rings true right down to the final catch in her breath.
Never will be forgotten - Marin Mazzie - What a tragedy to lose the battle to cancer, for anyone, but with Marin at the top of her gave, a Tony Winner - great singer and actor. I still now care, long after your passing. 2018 seems so very long ago in 2021, still in the Coronavirus Pandemic. - God Bless You. R.I.P.+
I love this song. It always seems more moving to me when sung by an older woman, but this performance is good. She really does it justice. Almost moved to tears - and I am a hardened cynic..!
The sun comes up, I think about you. The coffee cup, I think about you. I want you so, It's like I'm losing my mind. The morning ends, I think about you. I talk to friends, I think about you. And do they know? It's like I'm losing my mind. All afternoon, Doing every little chore, The thought of you stays bright. Sometimes I stand In the middle of the floor, Not going left, Not going right. I dim the lights And think about you, Spend sleepless nights To think about you. You said you loved me, Or were you just being kind? Or am I losing my mind? I want you so, It's like I'm losing my mind. Does no one know? It's like I'm losing my mind. All afternoon, Doing every little chore, The thought of you stays bright. Sometimes I stand In the middle of the floor, Not going left, Not going right. I dim the lights And think about you, Spend sleepless nights To think about you. You said you loved me, Or were you just being kind! Or am I losing my mind?
Marin Mazzie. Please don't go. Please, please, please don't leave us. You will forever touch our heart strings & fuel our voices. A perfect performance & masterclass on how to not only command an audience, but enhance a performance with the skill of dynamics. I will miss you greatly. Strength & prayers to your family.
The first time I heard this song it was a Pet Shop Boys produced discofied version my Liza Minnelli. I didn't realize what an exquisite torch song it was until I heard Marin sing it 10 years ago. She truly was a great light in Broadway musical theatre.
The second half of this show features performances by the "Divas In Red" and they are all great but this is the best. Watch the faces of the others in each performance. There is tru respect and admiration from one pro to another.
No one does this like her.I was blessed to see her one woman show on broadway!!!!!Never will forget it.The world is a sadder place without her.THank god for tube!!!
Sheer perfection. My God. That voice, the impeccable artistry. And her stunning beauty. She was an absolute vision. How tragic she would be gone within less than a decade after this extraordinary performance. May she fly high with the Angels. What a gift.
I saw Miss Peters perform this last Friday night and I swear to God, I was crying so hard, I thought I would have to be airlifted from the Marquis. Utterly exquisite performance.
Just heard an instrumental jazz version of this playing in Chicago's union Station. I started humming and the girl on the bench behind me started humming too. At the end we talked about how this version has become so iconic. Miss you Marin.
The though that such a beautiful and talented woman could have passed so young fills me with grief, yet amazement at this performance, which will live forever.
Stunning. Makes me cry every time. Just her voice and that incredible gift to tell that story with that voice. What a truly remarkable performance. I love how generous the audience and her contemporaries are when she finishes. You can see the admiration in their faces. She is missed.
RIP 2018: Marin was so talented and will forever have a place in my theatrical heart. This performance and every one of her performances were emotional and touching. Thank you for your gift.
Steven File RIP Marin Mazzie.. She’s just so magnificent. 💔💔
Oh no! May I ask how she left this world?! Its always sad when one of your contemporaries leaves this world too early. :( She's got a beautiful voice.
I watch this performance about once a month. I can't believe the poor woman died so young. May she rest in peace
@@dannysimion its ovarian cancer, she died at her home in manhattan 😭
Oh wow,. I've heard her name before but up until now hadn't heard her voice R.I.P.
That last "or were you just being kind" sends shivers down my spine everytime. It sounds like a slight crack, like the character has a lump in her throat and she's on the verge of tears. You can hear and feel the betrayal. It puts a lump in mine everytime. What a masterclass in stage performance.
Totally. My favorite performance of this song for exactly that reason.
I can't understand any criticism of her facial expressions. She looks perfect. Her expressions show the pain and confusion of the character. Some people just don't understand theatre.
Have you seen her on "Next to normal" gosh, she was an excellent actress
Singers make faces. If people take issue with that they need to fuck right off.
She also needs to hit the notes! Exaggerating your expression can help with that
Agreed.
She was too young to be what Sally should have looked in 1971 if she wasn't RICH.
What that woman is doing is not JUST singing. That my friends is what we call acting a song. If you're being honest, and you're doing it right, acting isn't "pretty". Same goes for singing. And same goes especially when you're doing both. Which she is. Good for you Marin Mazzie. You Go Girl!
And of all of Sondheim songs that touch all of our emotions, this one hits home. This is one of the finest versions of this song. RIP beautiful lady.
Yes!! No arms/hands to blur it. Just that amazing voice and acting
I can no longer listen to anyone else sing this song. A master class in acting and singing all at once. Every emotion is done with her face, her eyes, her voice. It's a slow build and the character is completely different at the end of the song than at the beginning...all done in 4 minutes.

Her and Glenn Close have it for me. Just heaven.
Should take a listen to Jeremy Jordan's performance. Might find something interesting
The anguish in her voice on the last "just" is KILLER.
oh my gosh i know

Probably the most heart-felt rendition of this song ever sung by any artist. Marin was perfection. Requisant in pace dear one.
What a concert this was. She OWNS this number.
One of the greatest renditions of Sondheim..... Marin. What a loss to this world
I'm so devastated she passed away yesterday... She was one of the greatest
Oh no! Didnt know that
This is so beautiful
God rest her beautiful soul, and bless her family in their grief. I wish I'd had the chance to see her in a show.
@@bonniel4325 So beautifully done!! So artistically rendered! Kudos to you 😘♥️💕‼️

The most utterly flawless Losing My Mind I have ever been privileged to witness.
Goosebumps and tears for this perfect performance of one of my favorite Sondheim songs.
Simply perfect!
this is and forever will be the best performance of this song ever

Ah h h . . Laughing because this is so gorgeous. Thank you Stephen Sondheim for making real use of lower female voices.
dringsong amen!
Simply brilliant. Ms. Mazzie just stands there and delivers the goods. No gimmicks; no over gesticulation. I feel her love, anger, confusion, sense of betrayal, and heartache...and connect with it all. Brava!
From 2:41 to the end this is unsurpassable. THIS is what musical theatre is.
that last “or were you just being kind” really kills me rip to one of the greats

I just randomly learned the other day that Marin passed a few year ago. What a lovely talent she had, glad we can still enjoy it and more can still discover her. ❤️
to me, this is the definitive performance of this song. what a legend
Marin Mazzie and now Stephen Sondheim - two true greats who the world is less bright for losing. May we always remember what they gave us.
I’m I the only one still utterly devastated?!?

You're not the only one, Marin was and will always be a Broadway legend. I think of her every time I listen to this song
You're not alone. She's a star that will always be cherished and missed.
I miss her every day 😢
And haven't each and everyone of us felt like this at one time or another? A kick in the gut love song with a superb performance by Ms. Mazzie.
I love this song and no one comes close to Ms Mazzie's interpretation of it. It is stunning. And, to think that she did it while surrounded by the most notable Divas of her time.

As much i love Bernadette, ,Marin just simply owned this song. RIP, dear..........
Yes, Marin owned this song, just like she owned "Back to Before." RIP talented Marin!
Her vibratto combined with her overwhelming emotion is stunning.
One MUST act as well as sing when on Broadway as I did work backstage from 80-87.

I just rewatched it. All the emotion plays out in her eyes.

Mr. Sondheim passed away two days ago. I am very grateful for their artistry. Magic!
One of my favorite renditions. Perfect mix of melancholy, longing and anger.
The sun comes up,

I want you so,
It's like I'm losing my mind.
The morning ends,
I think about you.
I talk to friends,
I think about you.
And do they know?
It's like I'm losing my mind.
All afternoon,
Doing every little chore,
The thought of you stays bright.
Sometimes I stand
In the middle of the floor,
Not going left,
Not going right.
I dim the lights
And think about you,
Spend sleepless nights
To think about you.
You said you loved me,
Or were you just being kind?
Or am I losing my mind?
I want you so,
It's like I'm losing my mind.
Does no one know?
It's like I'm losing my mind.

You said you loved me,
Or were you just being kind!
Or am I losing my mind?
Beautiful but heart breaking lyrics.
She is mesmerizing. Omg ❤
Love is not for faint of heart, this song is right on point, the performance here is spot on.
I heard Marin is fighting ovarian cancer. Stay strong, girl! You're beautiful and we're only a small percent of the many people that love you!
Sadly, she passed 2 years ago ❤️❤️❤️
This is acted and sang better than anyone has ever done it. Absolutely perfect.
You are so right. No one can surpass her or come even close. She should have been nominated for an Emmy...
Marin Mazzie. Please don't go. Please, please, please don't leave us. You will forever touch our heart strings & fuel our voices. A perfect performance & masterclass on how to not only command an audience, but enhance a performance with the skill of dynamics. I will miss you greatly. Strength & prayers to your family.
In re watching Marin perform this song I can't help but think of Patti Lupone thinking, "My God how can I follow this?"
She is missed greatly! Saw her long ago in the World Goes Round Tour. She was amazing!
I cannot stop watching this. It is an epichol performance - amazing. I just wish I had known Marin Mazzie sooner.
I love how it builds up slowly and then to a emotional climax and then quietly ends again. Very nice.
The first time I heard this song it was a Pet Shop Boys produced discofied version my Liza Minnelli. I didn't realize what an exquisite torch song it was until I heard Marin sing it 10 years ago. She truly was a great light in Broadway musical theatre.
Exactly my feelings. How extraordinary the talents of people and their musical skills 🇦🇺🇦🇺
I just love the warm quality to her voice.
i get chills every time I listen to this performance. Marin Mazzie is a true class act.
Did you hear the recording of her doing Carrie?
What a perfect masterclass. Save the belt until the perfect moment. Let the audience hear you breathe.
Every time I listen to Marin Mazzie sing this song, she brings me to tears. Unforgettable interpretation from a one of a kind artist. She owned it.
The second half of this show features performances by the "Divas In Red" and they are all great but this is the best. Watch the faces of the others in each performance. There is tru respect and admiration from one pro to another.
I may never recover from seeing her in Toronto in Ragtime. I was seriously smitten with her voice and performance. Amazing.
RIP! We’ve lost a wonderful voice!
A great performance of an unforgettable singer. Remembering Marin Mazzie (1960-2018)
I have heard so many covers of this song by brilliant actress singers. Hers is the best
The sisterhood these ladies shared that night on that stage is so evident when you watch them listening to & reacting to each other. ❤
One of my all time favourite performances, rest in peace Marin. ♥️
3:20 THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PART 😍😍😍 I’m in love with her interpretation !
No one does this like her.I was blessed to see her one woman show on broadway!!!!!Never will forget it.The world is a sadder place without her.THank god for tube!!!

Tears, goosebumps and awe. RIP.
I have seen this about a million times and I'm still not tired of it. It's on my Ipod!
😪 the earth lost a great talent. So beautiful. Rest in peace sweet angel
She was brilliant.❤️
She conveys so much emotion with her voice and not even moving. Amazing
It is heartbreaking to watch this beautiful, talented woman who died too young. RIP
So beautiful...in every way.
Prefect precision and clarity.
She was simply tremendous.
How exquisite!!! Thank you so much. Love 'n Light Sean
BLESS HER HEART.... GONE but
GOD, SHE ISN'T, here she is....
One of the very best.of Broadway.
Every word matters. Nothing else. A true artist. The quintessential recording of this song
I saw Miss Peters perform this last Friday night and I swear to God, I was crying so hard, I thought I would have to be airlifted from the Marquis. Utterly exquisite performance.
That was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard oh my god
A gift of a performance. Thank you Ms Mazzie.

I've watched this in total of 8 times time to watch again. SO BEAUTIFUL!!
Poderosa. Hermosa versión. Brillante voz.
Marin will always be one of if not my favorite broadway ladies. Gone too soon. ❤
Everyone should find someone who will look at them the way Donna Murphy looks at Marin when she takes her seat. Exquisite.
I'm in this situation with someone... Watching this over and over helps me get through it :'(
Always come back to this. First heard Shirley Bassey sing it. So sad Marin passed away. Stunning voice.
The little sighs...just magical. I miss her so!
I've listened to other versions but none come close to Ms. Mazzie's!! Perfection!
Oh I loved anything she was in…. She was a gift❤
She was so gifted and talented. I was so sad to learn she passed away last year. RIP.
Ms. Mazzie is the gem of our generation. Perfection!
beautiful warm rich voice...
she had me at the first note
Beautiful talent. Thank you for your gift. RIP
Such a sad loss cancer is horrible to deprive the world of such a beautiful voice and a stunning woman
I miss her like an old friend and seeing this performance is gutting.
The though that such a beautiful and talented woman could have passed so young fills me with grief, yet amazement at this performance, which will live forever.
A marvelous performance. Rest In Peace.
Stunning. Makes me cry every time. Just her voice and that incredible gift to tell that story with that voice. What a truly remarkable performance. I love how generous the audience and her contemporaries are when she finishes. You can see the admiration in their faces. She is missed.
This is a fantastic song, sung beautifully, by a true artist.
3:20, this woman is just incredible, cant stop watching this performance.
Best cover of this song in my opinion! So beautiful in every way. RIP ❤️
Marvelous and powerful!
She has so many emotions in her voice... RIP
