Shame really. I would class her far too high to appear in a show like that. She should be producing hit singles to the world not settling for a West End show in London.
I don't see anything wrong with performing in the West End. The West End and Broadway are surely the cream of the crop as far as musical theatre is concerned. It's a big deal. It's not as though she's playing in some panto in a minor town! :P Plus, she's playing an established role - a role done by Elaine Paige and Betty Buckley, with a really impressive song. To round it off, the whole musical is based on a work by T.S. Eliot.
I think it's a good career move for her. She can show off her voice more with a song like 'Memory' than with dance/pop songs.
Yeah that's good, just think she deserves a way bigger audience and more exposure than this.
I am surprised at this mind set about West End London shows.
You have to be an outstanding singer and performer to even get through the door.
NS is better than cheap pop imo.
I have to agree. I'm sure NS is intelligent enough to know being in Cats is an honour - it's one of the most highly thought of shows ever in the WE and Broadway.
An old mate of mine was the lighting director years ago and I had the pleasure of seeing it (with original cast) and meeting all the singers/dancers afterwards. It was a real treat and I still have great memories (no pun intended) all these years later!
I think a popstar appearing in the west end/broadway is the equivalent of a movie star appearing in a tv series.....basically it's the new thing to do and isn't looked down upon.
Exactly. If you are a lead role in a West End show, you have to be a good act.
Thanks for this one, she's crazy good. I like her more and more for every performance. I hope a version with better sound and maybe even a video comes out too soon :P
For me, the best voice for this song is Lara Fabian. She nails all the notes, especially the low ones:

(ignore the duet partner, she's just a reality show contestant!)
Meh, I think there's a difference between singing powerful and maintaining the tone in your voice - and screaming. Imo this isn't shouty in the end hehe
the entire theatre (and there wasnt an empty seat in the house) was captivated by her - you could hear a pin drop
Agree with this. If you have a leading role in a West End production then you are doing well by anyone's standards.
She did her last show on Saturday.
I didnt realise that
I remember a ITV show (I think) when she sang Don't Cry for Me Argentina and she was amazing, just so good
Kerry Ellis will probably be performing for you though, and she's grand herself
