"Touch me...days in the sun" IN ONE BELT!? WERKKKK

She did that all in one breath and it took mine away

Note to Self: Don't challenge Mamie to a singing OR breathing contest. Holy crap. Her phrasing is so outstanding and masterful. She is a wonderful singer. Who are the 6 ungrateful downvotes? All mouth breathers?

I was forced to see the movie today. I’m watching this on repeat to cleanse my soul.

I remember just breaking out into tears when I saw this live; she's fantastic!!

I saw her live 2 years ago, knowing nothing about the musical nor Mamie Parris. Since the role she is playing is of a very broken "cat", she never let her full voice out until this song. No recording out there does her masterful performance justice.

Why couldn’t they cast even her for the movie? Now that was true beauty.

Well I haven’t cried to this song yet damn she’s made me cry

That crescendo! Gives me the freaking shivers, every time. So glad that I got to see this in person.

I'm going through all of the singer's that sing memory and I'm stunned by all of them. They are all so talented in what they do. And everyone is just waiting for that crescendo. It really is the most breathtaking part I've ever heard. Jaw dropping performance by Mamie.

Mamie is my all time favorite Grizabella, to be honest. I've listened to many, but her voice is the one that makes me feel like I'm seeing the show for the first time again \

This woman and Elaine Page, when they get to the climactic part I cry and I can't explain what I'm feeling. Like, practically sobbing. Everyone else, just a nice song.

As much as I love Elaine Paige performance, this is the best rendition of the song I've ever seen.

I have listened to this every day for the past two weeks. She’s that good.

Their harmony at 3:48 is just outstandingly gorgeous, it made me tear up a lil ❤️ This is such a superb rendition, i actually don‘t have words...

What in the vocal technique?? Who’s lungs did she sacrifice to be able to do this??

She is fantastic, oh my god. I’m so thrilled to work with her 😭

I Love oh munkshdiebs is just like: "A new jelli-OH MY GOD WHAT IS THAT"

Saw her live almost 4 years ago now and still return to that video. I was beyond thrilled when I found out she was gonna be the one performing that night and damn I was so not disappointed. That woman is insane, I got chills the entire time.

That brought tears to my eyes... and here I thought Elaine Paige did the best Grizabella.

SHE DID NOT JUST DO THAT WHOLE CHORUS AS ONE PHRASE 😳🤤

I had the privilege of seeing this play last night at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C and this part sound so much better in person..I was sucked in and she had me breakdown and cry..and I don't cry easily..such a beautiful but sad song..beautifully done!!

This may be my new favorite version of this song

i got to see cats live when they came to my town, and this video doesnt do how magical listening to her live was. it stayed with me for a long time. if theres anything to look forward to, its her solo!

Saw the show & her in Boston this year and had chills as I recorded this scene you can her me say wow 😳 when she hits that “memories” part absolutely amazing❤️ my daughter who’s 10 & also sings was with me & was in aww and has been trying over n over with this song since she saw mamie perform this I knew she would love this show and that song specifically❤️ thanks for an amazing night and a memorable one for my daughter she’s hooked☺️

Mamie is so beautiful! I’ll give this chef kisses for the rest of my life!

Mamie did a MUCH better job than Leona. Don’t get me wrong. Leona is a good singer, but it was clear that she’s not an actress, and there’s a difference being simply just singing, and singing while acting.

We saw Mamie in person in 2016; she hit this one out of the park...

THIS is how it's done! This is when Music and Acting come together and create magic! Leona who?

Remember seeing her live as Elphaba - she was phenomenal then, no surprise she's phenomenal now

Saw her a couple days ago, prob the best part of the whole musical

If someone shoots me and I still have a few more breaths left, I hope the shooter lets me sing this song before finishing me off. Me: “Memory. Turn your face to th- *shots fired again*

What a fantastic performance, thank you for uploading!

Fucking amazing. Look at that breathe control. wow.

I remember seeing this live and it was Breathtaking. I love Mamie!💕

Bring it on Sistah Gurl... gave me goose bumps when she hit the high notes ...... MarvelouzNess !!! Saw her at Pantages few months ago.

She is gorgeous.

I can’t believe I got to see her live on Broadway. Jaw dropping performance

HO-LY. SHIT. Are you kidding me?! How did she do that? I’ve heard this 10 gazillion times and I just burst into tears! #Humbled #Speechless.

By far the best version of memory!

How is it possible for me to miss out that long on that talent???? I dont know how often I rewatched it now! Amazing!

I never was a theater person, actually I used to hate musicals my entire life, and never heard any song from cats for sure, then, in christmas 2021, after almost two years of isolation due to pandemic, my daugther sang “memory” on our christmas eve celebration (the second one that we my wife and our two children celebrates alone, with the fear of the virus) … hear this song for first time and I almost cried when I hear the sweet voice of my sweet child singing “is too easy to leave all alone with the memory of my days in the sun”… I did not just because it supposed to I am the man in the house, the one that must carry his family through hard times… but I cries in secret almost every time I heard this song. Now I am a true fan from “cats” and theater, I take my daughter to broadway to see Hamilton and Chicago, and past week we finally attend “Cats”, such an amazing show.

This song is beautiful, will always remind me of Cherry Valentine. Rest in Power Angel ❤️🍒

My favourite Grizabella :)

This is a great performance and I feel like it’s so naturally emotional compared to Jennifer Hudson’s versión from the upcoming movie. Although, to be fair, it was just a small clip without the context of the entire scene but still, Mamie Parris really crushes it.

Memory, all alone in the moonlight I can smile at the old days I was beautiful then I remember the time I knew what happiness was Let the memory live again Every streetlamp 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 smokey days The stale cold smell of morning The street lamp dies, another night is over Another day is dawning [Optional verse:] Sunlight through the trees in summer Endless masquerading Like a flower, as the day is breaking The memory is fading Touch me It's so easy to leave me All alone with my memory Of my days in the sun If you touch me, you'll understand what happiness is Look, a new day has begun

I get the chills...so I much emotion lovely

4:04

I saw Mamie in the show back in April 2017!

Wow she is FANTASTIC. This is the type of vocal style that I like to see in this role. Some grounded bottom heft that delivery.

I saw this tonight!!!! My breath was taken away!!!! I started to cry and it's just so beautifully done!!!!!!!!

Damn, girl. CHILLS.

I saw the show in 2017 in NYC. I would love to go see it again.

OH MY GOD!!! She brought the house down!❤❤❤❤❤❤

I am pretty sure Mamie can freedive in the Mariana Trench. Jk

I listen to this like daily

She did a Marvelous Performance !!!

it was a privilege to see her live.

Incredible! Absolutely love the feeling and depth that went into that. Best I’ve ever seen online. Masterclass performance

What a great Grizabella Mamie has given us! Really beautiful

I watched this at the fox theatre and litterally cryed watching this

Tears of Eternal Love. I Love You so Much!! Cats is the Musical love of my life!!

The best Grizabella I have ever seen *****

Best version hands down!

What a totally stunning performance xxx

Damn! That's the best rendition of 'Memory' since 'Cats the musical', back in 1998. Like Paige, Parris gets across the crushing pain of loneliness and her desperate need to be accepted back into the tribe. Before watching this, I didn't know Parris existed. Now I do.

Chills... wow! What an amazing singer...

Who else went and saw the show and now has this song stuck in there head?oh just me....ok....Also I was the 1k subscriber so.....Anyways like she’s hella good like why wasn’t she in the movie!????

I’m hoping to see this soon. There’s lots of performances in early August only like a hour from me. That’s if my parents will take me.

Guys....guys...That's my aunt. Really, I'm not kidding.

It is beautiful

easily the best memory performance

I’ve been looking for this! ❤️🥰😍

BRILLIANT!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

perfect!

Beautiful. Very well done.

Sucks up a tear... I’m ok!

Absolutely stunning!💕

Best Grizabella ever!

I saw this on broadway!!!!!!!😆😆😆😆

It's always been Elaine Paige for me, but...WOW! Mamie Parris just brought it! What an outstanding performance. I can't say it's 'better' than Elaine's version but it's definitely equal to it. BRAVO!!! 👏

Absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!!!

touch me..❤️‍🔥

Leona who? I only know mamie she deserves this role so much more

Thank you so much for this omg

Просто Вау! Очень красивый голос! ❤

Wow. Well done!

the best to do it

Loved it.

WOW.

Great performance. Bit stiff and rigid with her hands, but other than that I thought she gave a fantastic performance. Exactly what Grizabella should be like. Well done Mamie Parris.

Forever my favorite Griz.

goosepump

Nothing beats the original. BUT HOLY PACKINGZHISH, THIS WOMAN’S VOICE BELONGS IN THE SAME CATEGORY AS Paige and Buckley.

God i wish there was a smoother clean version of this

WHEW!!!!!!!!!!

I thought maybe like circular breathing but now thinking that's not the case and she really did that with no nee breath coming in at all bc that was a deep breath after the belt

Amazing

She IS the jellicle choice

STUNNING
