Yes, this is the one! It is so poignant. When I was listening before, I had closed my eyes, so I didn't see her holding the paper. I'm glad she put herself in such a vulnerable position. People need to know that we all need help sometimes.
She had diabetes and really needed to hold the paper close, but the cameraman could have positioned the camera better.
I especially love the very last time she sings..."Now you say you're sorry" and they just leave it hanging in the air, sort of like watching the smoke rising from an extinguished candle.
