"Remember Me" Shows The Heartbreaking Impact Of Alzheimer's

The music video for “Remember Me” features an incredible ballet performance from my Phantom of the Opera US Tour cast mate, Christina Dooling.

You may know me from Season Two of NBC’s The Voice.

After my Blind Audition, I was picked by Christina Aguilera to join Team Xtina.

After The Voice, I released a debut album, Roads, headlined my own tour and a concert special on PBS with special guest, Martina McBride.

While at a PBS pledge drive, I met leading Alzheimer’s expert, Dr. Rudy Tanzi who introduced me to Lisa Genova’s book, Still Alice.

Alzheimer's runs in my family. So, for me, the fight against this disease is personal.

After some more discussion, Rudy and I teamed up with Laura Mann, Willy Beaman and Dora Kovacs to co-write, Remember Me and help raise awareness for Alzheimer’s research for Cure Alzheimer’s Fund.

For the music video, I turned to my colleagues from The Phantom of the Opera U.S. Tour to help tell the story of Alzheimer’s from the perspective of a woman battling to save her memories.

"I need someone to hold, to hold on for me
To what i can’t seem to hold on to
The life we used to live, is slipping through my fingertips
Like a thread that’s unraveling."

The video for Remember Me, directed by Laura Mann, is heartrendingly honest and is resonating with many in the Alzheimer’s community.

"Thank you for such a touching and inspiring song. I will share this with my fellow healthcare professionals. What a beautiful anthem for everyone is changed by the passage of time and especially by diseases such as Alzheimer's." --via Remember Me Stories

The music video features choreography featuring my Phantom cast mate, ballerina Christina Dooling.

"When I can’t find the words that I trying to speak
When I don’t know the face in the mirror I see
When I feel like I’m lost and alone in this world
Won’t you please remember me
Remember Me?"

The prosthetics used in the video were made by the amazing Rudy Guerrero from the Phantom tour.

“I hope I’m one thing worth not forgetting
Tell me that you’ll never let me go.”

When Alzheimer's takes away your sense of self, you must ask your loved ones to remember who you are inside.

"I know there will come a day, when i have gone away
And the memory of me will fade
But darling think of me, and who I use to be
And I'll be right there with you again."

Won't You Please Remember Me?
