I have to admit I’m not an ardent fan of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cats, but I do love the songs, particularly Memory. Oscar and Grammy winner Jennifer Hudson is playing Grisabella the Glamor Cat, in the new movie, and during The Voice finale on Tuesday night she gave a performance of Memory that can only be described as breathtaking. Word of warning: get some tissues!
Incredible voice. Born to sing.

I LOVE Cats, haven’t seen the movie, but I know I will. Can’t be any worse than Anne Hathaway in Les Miz. Jennifer Hudson is such an under-rated and a phenomenal singer. She reminds me of Audra McDonald. Are you familiar with her Kim? Listen to her version of Somewhere: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wx8bEx14jGk
