She wasn't simply singing it, she was totally in character. With the gestures, the emotions, the way she delivered it... Wow, I could really imagine her as Grizabella.
She was grizabella lol 😂
+iiSirLeonard RBLX I know she was. I was talking about this performance in particular.
+Jenna Roa agh, I see.
Right
Jenna Roa MEowOooh. Pretty! Beautiful ♡♡♡. ☆☆☆☆For our beloved Kitty-KitKat RIP
I can't for the life of me understand why this amazing talented Nichole is under rated? I can't get enough of her...Love her!!!
I think it`s because her fame originated from the Pussy Cat Dolls. That type of music, with its overt sensuality and sexuality is not seen as particularly creative or talented. No matter that society will say "Do your thing, it`s your life", there are always consequences. Fortunately for Nicole, she has such vocal talent, she may overcome this problem.
probably due to her association with lewis Hamilton
+Joe Murphy she chose what she thought would give her stardom,unfortunately. Who knew this class talent was behind the Pussycat dolls.
Dee J. Yep. It`s a lesson on the problems in pursuing a career like that.
nobody would knew who she is if she was trying to get a break trough the musical theatre instead of popscene
When I heard her singing Phantom of the Opera, I was sold. She really is a great singer.. And then I came upon this and then a lot more. I just wish I could see her on broadway one day.
You should check out her gig at django
Have you heard her song Don't Cry For Me Argentina? You must. she's INCREDIBLE. My favourite performance of that song out of the ones I could find on youtube
@@David-su2oi Her performance at Andrew Lloyd Webbers 40th anniversary was MIND BLOWING beuatifully sung and portrayed. She embodied Eve Peron. What people dont know is that is classically trained in Opera. She also performs a duet of Dont Cry for Me Argentina (in Italian) with the world great Andrea Bocelli. She has a musical theater back ground, PCD took her away from all of that and put her in a box. People and their comments on here are extremely ignorant
Check her singing Don't Cry For Me Argentina. Simply beautiful!
@@mikehauck9470 @david thanks for the heads up. Looked into it, especially the one she did with Andrea Bocelli. She really is great. Her music flows
I love how she doesnt fully belt until "Touch me" It makes the song much more impressive, the way that she builds it up.
yes!
She belts before then she belts on her 2nd memory …..doesn’t matter like she’s fantastic
I think the way she used her voice here was deliberately for the raw, exhausted emotion of the song. I've never seen Cats (a bucket list thing) but it sounds to me like the song is sung from a lonely, tired and disappointed place in the character's storyline. This came out beautifully in her performance. It actually made me cry. So whether her vocals sound off or not, she emoted perfectly what I assume the song is meant to.
+redraven24 You nailed it. She did something similar for her performance of "Don't Cry For Me Argentina." It was great.
asingleverse She's a fantastic theatre singer. Her acting through song is just beautiful and I really think she needs to do Broadway. The Evita song you mentioned always gives me chills whenever I hear it. I have mad respect for her as a singer now that I've seen these.
@redraven24, I have seen Cats twice, and you're spot on. Sometimes the emotion does more for a song than hitting every song. Nicole gave me goosebumps and teary eyes. She nailed the part of
Grizzabela. It's easy to see why she got the nomination for the part in London.
Cindy McVey q
redraven24 I've seen cats 5 times and literally this song gives me goosebumps every time
Singing is not always about hitting this or that note!! Specially in musical theatre. I love this version she is just so emotional and raw not trying to "reach the notes" but instead attempting to convey the true essence of the song, the character an so on. So much respect for her.
Mn Bz I hope you can visit my channel and watch my version of this song MEMORY😊

You're right.... Musical theater is about who can scream the highest.
very impressive review, you know music!
She hit the notes though...
First Last she did, but so many people perform this song to prove they can belt loudly - I don’t really care if there IS no belt if the song brings the entire theatre to tears.
Nicole could have gone to town and riffed all over this like she’s singing a pop song, but thats not what it needed.
This isn't a polished studio version of the song. It's a live performance, in character, with all the raw emotion the part calls for. And it is simply wonderful.
She is not just singing...she is performing the character...that is a true artist. Lots of emotional stuff here.
Yass
Yes, she brings us along with her.
Yeahhhh!!!!💗💖💝
No words.
Your right proud pinoy 👍👍👍
If anyone saw this live, in the actual theatre watching Cats. You'd really appreciate her talent. The whole audience was in silence and erupted into such a sincere applause. I very rarely get goosebumps, but this... was on another scale of powerful
I wish I could
It was truly something exceptional. She was made for musical theatre.
I was there during her last performance In the west end
I got to see her in Cats and I have seen many west end shows, but Nicole singing "Memory" rates as the best 4 minutes I have ever experienced. As you said, the audience was in total silence and then rapturous applause at the end. It was totally captivating and actually better than this performance at the Olivier awards
She is UNREAL! Her commitment to the emotion in this song is out of this world. Her voice and face at the end makes me cry
You are so right! You she was totally committed to that. It gives the words (and the entire song) so much more meaning. An amazing performance.

Now, who can say that Nicole didn't deserve to lead the PCD group and who could say that she is only another pop manufactured b*tch who does not have the real talent? Nicole is an underrated artist! She deserves more than what she has been acknowledged for!
completely agree
I agree. She needs more recognition in the US because it seems the UK's love for her will make her stay there.
Nicole didnt deserve to lead the PCD. She is only another manufactured biatch who does not have the talent. Nicole is an overated artist. She doesnt deserve more than she has been acknowledged for.
Jokes.
2knockers.
Who are you?
If you do not like really good singing go listen to Eminem or some other no talent twit.
2knackers this woman has more talent in her little finger than your whole body. Singer, Dancer, athlete wonderful woman....and your achievements are?
from pussycats to cats... :)
progress!
+Helaine Vis Music So what's next? Kittens?
+Helaine Vis Music
Oh, snap!
🐱
the tea is that she sang the vocals for the whole group and just did different voices.
@@milamarshall9597 there was another girl or two that sang some bits (including some belted notes iirc, which is kind of odd), but Nicole did >95%....
I had no clue she has done musicals. I'm beyond shocked and respect her way more because of it
Totally agree
I had no clue she's done anything other than broadway... what else does she do? Pop music? I know she's on some reality TV singing competition
MellowJelly she's was in Two girl groups edens crush and the pussy cat dolls and also went solo before she went to xfactor
she's a classically trained opera singer
And she does it REALLY well. She always gives a great (and classy) performance.
a quintessential Grizabella. So vulnerable, tender, raw, tired, broken, wounded...she does it all.
She is Outstanding! It is quite unusual for someone with her Quality of voice has not been more recognized
I think she was not going for a 'pretty' rendition of this song, but as the song is sung in the play with the grittyness of the character.
She won an Oliver award for this role. So stunning.
No, she was only nominated. She didn’t win.
this-particular interpretation is truly haunting. it cuts me like a knife. as if she knows all my secrets and slowly reveals them to the world. she sings of "no regrets " and " long visited glories."
i love the way you said this, i know exactly what you mean.
Nicole has a musical theatre background.... she’s absolutely amazing at this!!! Her performance in “Cats” is not just about singing pretty but really getting into the character and I believe she showed everyone that she can definitely do that!!!
I’m actually really annoyed, she’s so talented and she’s just so underrated. I love her so much.
I am an Elaine Page fan through and through... but Ms. Scherzinger does this song some serious justice!
I hate it that people wana critize nicole
But they cant even do half of what she does
Shes worked hard she deservers it!! Super proud fan ♥
+Keri Abrahams I'm a 19 year old boy andf I can sing that song 10 times better than her! She was the wrong choice for Grizabella!
+Eric Morgan fuck u...
Eric Morgan let me guess your mum and gran told you you are an amazing singer bore off mate
I've seen her do this song b4. She is amazing but this wasnt her best. It is what it is. Anyone that says it is doesnt have a clue. May have just been nerves or something bc if the setting. It didnt feel as natural and easy as the other times I've heard her sing it. She was trying to hard here. She shouldve relaxed and just sang the song
She was also pretty sick in this performance. This one is awesome still
But the live one is even more AMAZING!!!
Nicole Scherzinger is such a talented singer. Really underrated, I don’t understand why. This version is among the best.
I'm so glad to see someone that understands that music isn't just about pitch accuracy or vocal prowess. Music is the language of the soul and should be treated accordingly. If you can't emote, you can't sing. This is such an emotional rollet coster to listen to! And that's how it should be...
I think she's one of the best talented singer, and she's the most underrated!!!!
These comments are crazy! Sorry but this is magnificent. One of the most underrated singers out there. I love her.
She's tremendously talented...gifted.
Nicole can really sing high notes and being manifested on different events but in here it is so different. She is giving life to the song, the very character and the story. You can really feel the emotions!! Kudos!
I watched this from the front row of CATS in London with Nicole performing, she had the whole audience in tears, when she sings the last verse with such power it literally felt like she had hit you in the chest with her words. absolutely amazing
I knew she could sing But WOW she can belt it out. I'm so impressed. This is not an easy song to sing. I saw her & the pussy cat dolls when they opened for Britney & she sounded great in concert but I had no clue girl could sing like this.
I’m speechless..
And upset that I’m barely listening Nicoles version after so many years. She’s amazing.
Love Nicole -your singing is amazing! Thank you 🙏
Most underrated singer out there. Her powerful voice is one of the best in the world!!!!!!!!
This song had never made me cry before, until I watched this performance. She really truly expressed something from deep inside when she sang. I couldn't help but relate to it.
She tapped into the emotion. She’s been there. She gets vulnerable. It’s the mark of a singer with a gift.
This girl is so underrated. Respect.
THE FACE , THE VOICE , THE BODY = NICOLE SCHERZINGER
such an underatted singer..pure class❤
I am so happy that she has done such great things since The Pussycat Dolls. Don't get me wrong, they were huge for a generation but, not all artists can make it when they leave a group.
Music industry needs nicole scherzinger's talent shes a total package performer voice the dance skill wooh what can i ask for shes perfect
She's a very talented individual, incredible singing, and great dancing, acrobatics, surfing . . . she is a natural performer . She could do a 90 minute cabaret show in Paris . . . it will run forever
I saw her live on stage in Cats and was brilliant. Much better than here.
I agree...I went to see her last performance playing the role at the Palladium and it was hair-raising.
+Iain Hutchinson agreed exceptional on stage
Same. She was strained in this performance. When I saw her at a Saturday matinee performance she was flawless.
Agree. This wasnt her best. The other times I've heard her it felt so natural and easy. Here it felt like she was trying to hard. Probably bc of the setting. More pressure to get it perfect.
Ok thanks because I was wondering what the fuss was about her rendition on here.
OMG what a performance! She's so beautiful x_x
#amazing
I love the way she sings. She made me cry 😭 lol
What a magnificent voice she has. I would love to hear her sing opera.
omg. I just love her so much. Her vocals outside of PCD are just amazing. She nailed the desperation and dejection of this song perfectly.
She belongs on the Broadway stage
she's one of the most underrated people on the planet , and she's perfect in every way.
The words of the song truly comes out of the fountain of her heart, it streams passionately
I still think she should've won. I managed to see her twice and once was really up close and personal and the other time was right at the back of the theatre. Either way, she brought tears to my eyes with the energy in that room. She is a bloody amazing talent; she deserved that Olivier.
Nicole you're one talented person, so proud of you.
her breath control is incredible
Amazing as always. She is very underrated.
I saw her performing live in Cats musical and she was great as always.
She's not just singing the song, she's acting as Grizabella who's an old sad cat, that's why she's singing like this.
Perfectly.
The emotion in this is heartbreaking ....just pain and longing beyond what we can bear
Superb performance.. What a beautiful song impersonated. Bravo..
Nicole Scherzinger is Amazing, Incredible, Powerful, and A STAR of the first magnitude.
She’s so underrated as a vocalist and as a performer.
One of the most emotional Versions i've heard..... Love the Variations and the flexibility of her voice....
its nice to see this side of her 😍😍😍
The way she touches herself at the word 'beautiful' ❤️
She's always been a first class human being. Humble, genuine, beautiful, compassionate, talented and witty as all get out . . .
This and Elaine Paige's version . This is how its supposed to be sung , so beautiful
OMG!! Who can sing that loud without cracking? Only Nicole? An incredible singer. Gorgeous.
I can't believe how underrated she is. OMG, she is absolutely STUNNING whatever she sings!!! Nicole's duets with Bocelli just blew me away . . . what a set of pipes!!!
She's a very talented individual, incredible singing, and great dancing, acrobatics, surfing . . . she is a natural performer
I cried watching this.. I'm so proud of her!!
She is definitely underated!!! Love her voice!!! And she is not on stage half naked and can truly sing!!! Not like some other's!
Hope she got a standing ovation for that!!!
Her talent is amazing she should show it to all the world not only in America. Nicole love u sooo much ❤️ I wish to meet u one day 💕
She is amazing...I was totally in the story and just felt tears coming down my face.
Thank you Nicole for being so amazing and yet so humbled.Many artists should learn from you.
So emotional! I gotta admit that she was better on Cats, but here she was so passionate about the performance. Just amazing! Good job, Nicole!
She gives me chills! She’s in complete character! Goosebumps!!!
beautifully done!! ppl dont even know how talented she is
SLAYYYYYYY
Nicole has to be a robot. No one can be that talented, beautiful and hard working. Amazing.
Nicole is definitely underrated!!!!!!
There is Nothing more to add to this. This is beautiful and damn near Perfect. Beautiful.
She inhabits the role. She is not just singing it,she IS IT.
People are complaining yet I think she still did well considering she's been working her butt off all year. She's not at her absolute best here I agree, but she still gave a passionate performance. She had to do her album promo Sept. - Nov. of last year, then Cats from December - February. Right after Cats, she flew to do shows in India, Philippines and Italy. After that she flew back to LA, back into the studio for album rework then had to film 6 weeks straight for her new show on NBC. They had just finished filming the season finale the night before and she flew straight to sound check in the UK for this show. A bunch of people were complaining she wasn't in costume - well Grizabella's makeup takes about an hour itself to be put on, not including the wig and costume. Any normal person would be exhausted but Nicole still gave it everything she had into that performance.
Couldn't have said it better! I don't understand why so many people can't acknowledge how talent and gifted this lady is....doesn't get into my head.
HeartOfWorship hat ever perfection she lacks in er voice, she makes up with her rack 10/10 from me budddy
I totally agree!
HeartOfWorship ?que je
HeartOfWorship 魅惑のワルツ
No one sings this one ☝️ like her No one She should hVe been cast on the movie too
PULEEZE! Elaine Paige and Betty Buckley MADE this song!
Honestly brought me to tears. I’m still crying wow I felt this
Didn't know Nicole could sing so beautifully,just lovely
I love this version, she really has a pain in her voice that portrays the song extremely well
Her performance is an art omgg she so fricking good
oh my god her emotion this was so beautiful😭❤️
I've never seen cats but I remember the theme song which I assume is this...
She's just so talented and filled the song with the right emotions and she moved me...
One of the most humble talents of our time !
This is one the very best ever dramatically flawless tone of voice fitting the mood and character this is a woman of tremendous talent and must never be passed over she is a star
Mesmerizing and so beautiful!😍 She should have been in Broadway already from long ago!
Ok! Most underrated Voice on Earth 😅😂 Love her so much. That passion is insane
3:40 OMG. At the climax of the song, the way she uses tension then releases into that fully open resonance on the word “memory.” Chills.
Stunning performance of a very difficult track.
I am in tears. She is beautiful with an amazing voice. Saw her on X factor.. didn't know who she was. She really deserves to be known!
she slayed the phantom of the opera and now slaying the catssss...... hope gaga and nicole will collab. soon.
I had no idea - RESPECT!
Okay Nicole, you need to do more acting. Your voice is phenomenal but you are also SO good at telling a story I feel every every word you sing!
This is the best version of the song. Feelings, emotions, tone, movements all on point. Nicole, with such rendition, made the song alot meaningful. Try listening to other renditions, you will end up listening to her again and again. ❤
Lloyd Stephen Ocampo you won’t only one grizabella Elaine Paige Nicole is good but Elaine is superior and actually is grizabella
Barbra Striesands version is my favourite
Currently listening to this while crying and thinking about all the beautiful memories of my ex and I. It is 1am. I've listened to this two times now and it's probably not the last. I'm feeling emotional, faithful and cheesy listening to this. Bless
She’s always been underated
I love her! Congratulations Nic!
2021 and still watching this. Who's with me
