This is the only thing you'd ever remember from this film.

The words to this song make me cry every time. Any time I see a beat up cat, afraid of humans, weary, I think of the words to this song and imagine how different that cat's life could be if someone would just "touch her". Excellent performance by Jennifer.

Cats was not a fantastic movie. However, I think Jennifer Hudson killed it with this rendition of Memory. I wasn't familiar with the film or the broadway show when I watched this version of Cats, so when she sang, "Touch me, it's so easy to leave me," it brought tears to my eyes. I just wasn't expecting it, something so raw and vulnerable. You could truly feel her giving it her all.

The whole point of memory is that grizabella wants to be touched and accepted back into the jellicles; yet victoria literally touches her multiple times

🎶 TOUCH ME….. ITS SO EASY TO LOVE ME 🎶 That was incredible!,,

From Elaine Paige to Sara Brighton and Jennifer Hudson they have all brought to light the heart and soul of this amazing character. Each was amazing and exactly as they should be. I myself humbly say thank you to all of them for this song that has held my heart since I was 15 years old.

She literally sings: ,, TOUCH ME, it's so easy to leave me..." After she got touched 🤣🤣🤣

out whole movie these are the only words i can remember. Jennifer hudson blew it out of the water with this song, and the emotion she brought. Splendid ^_^ truely it was amazing!

Honestly, Jennifer Hudson and Jason Derulo were great - their vocals are to notch. Had they actually embraced the spiri of the original (no CGI, make it a stage-esque show, NO Corden or Rebel) this could've been better.

Idk what yall are talking about, she killz it. I get chillz Everytime hudson comes in. 😮

I love the movie, cats and Jennifer Hudson. I love you when you sing that song I cried like a little baby you are beautiful and talented.

Since they already changed up the story from the original anyway, I would have thought this part more endearing if Victoria had gotten in front of Grizabella and hissed at all the cats hissing at her warning them to back off.

its the greatest Jen Hudson work ever. It seems she is dressed and looks like Aretha, obviously preparing for a biopic :)

5:59 not sure why this cracked me up LOL LOL But have to say JHudson's singing is so awesome!

音程は一切乱れないのに、グリザベラの情感と悲痛な心はよく表れているように感じました。 サビの声量と迫力、感情の爆発は圧倒されます。 私も音程など基礎的な練習を大事にしながら、感情も込められるように練習します。 いつも感情を込めることが先走ってしまうので、まずは基礎を徹底致します。 Thank you so much.

Director: Quién puede poner sentimiento en ésta canción? Jennifer Hudson: Sostén mi Óscar un momento.

I LOVE Jennifer H, ❤❤

I have to say, I LOVE Jhud, she’s hands down one of the best vocalists of my generation. That being said, growing up obsessing over the broadway performance I would watch on VHS over and over and over again, I absolutely HATE everything about this movie. I hate the creepy humanoid CGI cat people. I hate the vocals of the girl singing with her. I hate 95% of her performance of this song. I don’t ever want to see/hear this again.

I Love the cat move i Love the songs they sing.

Bravo, Jennifer!!

Legit made me shed tears

Perfect...❤

Masterful.

凄い❗感動しました👏👏👏👏👏

this song gives me chills

this song is one of my favorites is better than the others

この歌を大画面と大音響で聴けただけでこの映画を見てよかったも思う

Qué belleza !!!

That was brilliant!

Pour moi Memory de Cats deux personnes l'ont admirablement chanté, d'abord Elaine Page, la Grizabella d'origine... et Barbra streisand, pour moi ce sont les deux seules qui tiennent cette chanson magnifique !!!

as a Stage Musical Fan, The Marvels brought me here

I'll bet if both Jemima and Syllabub were in Cats the Musical on Broadway, they'd be best friends with each other and Victoria.

simply beautiful, amazing, grand performance. Thank you!!

Sixième chanson préférée 😊

"I was beautiful then." ? She looks just fine in this version, in the stage play her coat, her makeup her hair, all gave the impression of a cat who was barely hanging on to life, either due to surviving an accident or whatever. Here, the lyrics just don't work.

no words

Wow

This is a qualitatively new interpretation: some new perspective is definitely added to the initial message! A unique and stunning musical intonation! BravA!

esta a años luz de la interpretacion de Elaine Page ¡¡¡¡¡¡

Jennifer Hudson does a great job .. with a great voice and interpretation. Beautifully done!

Imagine those gorgeous people with proper make up. Such a waste of a great cast

U love it and im 18

Absolutely amazing stunning performance

Who’s the other singer? She’s fantastic also

Jennifer Hudson community please tiny desk

I lost 10 bucks because of this. She's on key, but like the rest of the movie, it's not good enough.

I get it, she was going for a different interpretation, but this does not hold a candle to Elaine Paige's classic version.

where is jemima ?

Это так плохо, что даже хорошо....

Unpopular opinion, but I didn’t feel the Elaine Paige version at all. She can sing for sure, but it felt routine. This version sounds desperate, terrifying, lonely, melancholic.. Especially how she almost cries while singing it. This is my favorite version of the character.

love

Насколько велик вариант 1998,настолько омерзителен этот

Taylor Swift was one of the cats yes the pop star was part of the cast of the film version.

Not bad, she's no Elaine Page though.

I feel like the makeup artist were rough around the edges.

Not bad (6.5/10), the faces may not align sometimes, but the singings not bad.

So talented

"TOUCH ME!!" she literly just did

THIS is how this song was to be interpreted and emoted. Not the yelling/showy stereotypical “Broadway” voices of the ‘80’s (minus Buckley). It’s perfect with the one “belt” that Jennifer does here. Perfect.

Yes it was her, she needed the money😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

ok. but when rebel wilson delivered a square 1, and steven mcrea a 10 in skimbleshanks, then jennifer hudson did a solid 8.5 to me. it's a movie-version, it's okay that she's not doing perfect, but rather a little rough, and emotional(ly unstable), it's just the style the movie was going for, and that's... you know, not great, but OKAY. so, to me jennifer hudson did a good job here, and i like her version. it's good enough to distract me from the overall design (but not good enough to distract from the lacking plot here, because they butchered the story a little, especially concerning her)

Sorry but original version is Betty Buckley- No one could perform better

Anyone else think all the cats look creepy like demonic it’s something from a horror movie 😂

Christ !!

Everyone hating on this couldn't hold a CANDLE to Jennifer. She's one of the greatest vocalists of our time and did a phenomenal job woth this. Most people on here just need to say out loud what they really feel...you hate that a black woman is singing it... just say it and live your truth out in the open.

jennifer did a fantastic job, we want Elaine Paige back for a remake

Jenny .. You great btw . . so beautiful .. but This is Elaine's part..

is that judi dench?????

A real show stopper. No really, stop it, please.

Nor does it come to betty buckleus version

That growl on "All alone" is fantastic. It's a great vocal performance, but for some reason I don't feel the emotion. Her acting is sort of generically sad, with no specificity.

Why is she so impossibly and finally sad?

Never watched the movie no matter how many stars they had it wasn't a omg I need to see this type of film sorry 😐

That was terrifying

The best

Not bad, not bad, but Elaine Paige is better. You can compare.

Victoria; Poor Grizabella. She must have had the worst time of being being neglected, disowned, and abandoned that I did.

I hate how they just took my girl Jemima out of her rightfull place

The only good cover in the movie

This is more of a theatrical experience. It just doesn't work on film. If you really want to hear this song sung right, watch Elaine Page or Betty Buckley do it. Cheers.

No ..!! Elaine .. only Elaine ..

Sorry. There is NOTHING special about this.

The negative backlash against a wonderful Tom Hooper's film and its subsequent box office failure is reminiscent of mass insanity and a total misunderstanding of the difference between cinema and theater. And this scene is great. Better than Jennifer Hudson, no one sang this great song.

Precious

Just dreadful . How this ever got made is beyond me

It's not just the movie that is bad; Cats is Andrew Lloyd Webber's worst musical by a long shot. When I saw the Broadway show, I literally nearly fell asleep in the theater. When it was over I left shaking my head, wondering how this show got so many accolades and had so many people clamoring to see it. I'm a huge Andrew Lloyd Webber fan... but this one was downright boring. "Memory" wasn't even intended to be in the original play, but it was included at the last minute because the show needed something more focused. And as we know now, it turned out to be the only part of the play that anyone remembers. JHud really killed it in this movie version; I've never heard anyone else come even close to singing Memory with this much feeling and passion.

Elaine sang it 100 times better

Having Barbra Streisand, Sarah Brightman, Elaine Paige, Celine Dion singing this song, it doesn't make any sense having this Jennifer Hudson shouting in the movie.

4дуу❤жукж

This is horrible. I came in expecting so much, especially after reading comments. This is sad, sad, sad! You know they lowered the key on this? Shes singing about an octave lower, and the fake opera voice? Not her fault, this was all on the director. But a sad excuse for a performance on this song.

I love, love, love Jennifer. But boy, I think this was terrible acting and staging. I blame the director. Jennifer needed help. Watch Betty Buckley. Everything Betty did was cat-like--movements, emotion, posture. Nothing about Jennifer's performance resembled a cat other than the costume and make-up--and even those resembled a nondescript stuffed animal more than a cat. Not trying to be funny but Jennifer seemed more like a needy old dog than a once-glorious and now sad and abandoned cat.

movie sucked

I prefer Elaine Page & the musical. This movie is a monstrosity & the human faces digitally put on cat bodies is scary. This movie is unnatural & unnecessary

Ужас конечно.

Sorry a no go.

Love Jennifer, but but not in this. Bad.

I think comparing this rendition to that of Elaine’s is dumb af.

I'm sorry but this was not a good performance. Nothing against Jenny over here but they did not give her the proper direction for the song. They took away crucial moments away from the song. SHES LITERALLY OFF BEAT THE WHOLE ENTIRE SONG . AND THEB VICTORIA TOUCHING HER BEFORE SAYING TOUCH ME WHY?!?!? its literally the point of the song. And this "speak-singing" thing hooper does is just so stupid.

I saw Cats on Broadway ..... this is a farce ..... Miss G does not even look old and bedraggled. Breathtaking more like gut busting laughs. Movie was FLOP

Jennifer Hudson BUTCHERED what should have been the crown song of this play. If their plan was to jump from Beauty to Beast, they succeeded.
