  • she has a beutiful tone xxxxx but this song isnt bubblegum and her voice is.. do u know what i mean like bubble gum its sweet, but too much becomes sickly!, but she would be amazing on hairspray, anything goes and legally blonde! bubblegum theatre! xx not bad thing but cats is for emotion and you have non!

  • Awful.

  • too not to

  • omg! She sounds so great for a high school student! Idk why a lot of these people are bashing this video? She sounds amazing! True her voice hasn't matured all the way yet but shit this is pretty good! I hope to see her on broadway one day! :)

  • I haven't a thing against this girl's singing abilities.

    I am just SICK and TIRED of teenage girls- no, EVERYONE- beating this song to death. It's over played at auditions and nobody can sing it like Elaine Page, Betty Buckley, or Barbara Streisand. NOBODY ELSE should be singing this damn song. Not Celine Dion, not Susan Boyle, not idiot teenage girls who think they can sing well.

    /rant

  • @noodle0912 Correct, nobody has the instruments, breath, OR original potential

  • I'm sick of this hate!!!!! She's amazing!! Why do you even hate on teenage girls singing Memory?? Don't you have a life? GOSH!

  • you know i said the same thing About the lyrics being changed ...but back to the criticism she has a lovely voice but she iflat and sings very drably eww she needs to learn to sing with emotion and this is coming from a singer whi has performed this song many times

  • haha I love how she looks like shes twitching

  • It should be illegal to sing the "TOUCH ME!" from this song in head voice! Belt it out, or get off the stage!

  • Very lovely, very sweet voice. Nice job!

  • Beautiful voice! Just remember to completely lose yourself in the emotion whenever you sing!

  • flat flat flat

  • Agreed she is flat

  • yes flat at times, not the whole time though

  • plz learn to control your vibrato. then you'll be even better.

  • I believe that all the alterations done to this song from Elaine Paiges' original version have been crap. But this is the first one i've heard that is actually amazing. I love how it is a 'younger' voice from Elaine Paige's voice, evern though Grizabella is meant to be old, i think whoever this singer is has one of the most beautiful and powerful songs i have ever heard. well done

  • Why does broadway change the lyrics???

  • Hey, this was uploaded on my birthday!

  • i have heard better....

  • Copy And Paste If Susan Boyle Brought You Here........

    p.s. Thank you Susan for that.

  • That was awesome! So very few people can really sing this song well. I think you have so much potential!! Lovely, very lovely!!

  • Very nice voice :)

  • Hmmm not quite this specific role, she would fit very well with one of the higher pitched cats. This role needs to have a a bit more depth and reverb.

  • she's hot

  • she's a cat you idiot

  • Actually she's a HUMAN dressed as a cat, so it's not abnormal for someone to think she's hot... dick.

  • Nice voice, but definitely no emotion, and what I can see of emotion she seems happy... not the emotion for this song.

    Also it sometimes it sounds like she sings mammary... :] completely different.

    Also whoever whoever did her make-up should be fired. It's horrible.

  • u are right, but she is supposed to be very old and not as attractive as she was...o.o

  • @xmizxdictatorx There are two ways of playing Grizabella, down-trodden and pathetic (Elaine) or fighting and courageous (Betty). This young lady opted for the never give up attitude. I have sort of lived some of Grizabella's feelings and really appreciate this performance. OK, the make-up is dreadful, but not too bad for a high school production. This isn't Broadway.

    Jeanette's voice is simply wonderful. The emotion will come as she matures. I hope she goes far.

  • i think she did really good:)

    her voice is beautiful:)

  • yeah i think she started the vibrato a bit too early on each note,

    but she's a pretty good singer, well done :)

  • good voice, but I think you need to watch the vibrato in some places. For one, its a little fast, and too immediate. You should sing the note without vibrato first, then add a little at the end. And you sound a little pop-ish, but thats fine for a musical.

    Good job though!

  • What is everyone talking about, this girl is not a good singer she sounds so airy. She needs some voice training. Not to be mean just telling the truth

  • nice voice, but she sang way too fast

  • for a big portion of the song it sounded like she was just singing it. she has beauitufl voice, but there wasn't much emotion behind the song. and this is supposed to be the tear-jerker song... and my tears weren't being jerked. it was beautiful, but not emotionally beautiful.

  • i think she's doing great!

    but omg fix the camera! my eyes hurt!!

  • She looks too young. Grisabella is supposed to be a tattered old cat well past her best, not a pretty young kitten!

  • this is from a high school production... of course shes young

  • i love cats

    yeaah

  • She looks like a dog....not a cat

  • She has a very beautiful voice. I think she did rather good.

    People shut up. Of course she isnt as good as Elaine or Betty. So what if that make up isn't that good, it's the songs that count and the voices singing them, not want the characters looks like.

    As for the chick that was singing Jemima's part.. Her voice wasnt fit for that part.

  • this is younger version of gizebella before she get old

  • this show sucked.

  • the singing is good

    but i went to the last play they where doing in jan and it was soo much better

    her make up sucks and her expressions are horrible

  • her singing is not bad, but where's the facial ekspressions? it's very important.

  • ok the singing is pretty good.. I mean Elaine page is better but yeah it's ok but the make-up sucks like hell..sorry but it's supposed to look like a cat.

  • she sucks like hell

    elanie paige is soo much better

  • Elaine Paige is among the very top category women of the time when this show started! Stop comparing professionally seasoned performers to younger beginners of this VERY difficult level. I thought she did a nice job.

  • wow!!! very very nice!

  • She isnt that good....Elanie Paige is soooo much better

  • Well naturally Elanie Paige is going to be better...she was the original person to sing the song...I thought she was really good!

  • I love everything about "Cats" and all cats, but this is a little . . . .

    Sorry,

    PS

    Watch the video of the cat playing Mozat, what does that tell you!

    LOL

  • I think the entire song was way to 'bright' for what it shuld be sung as for the actual musical.

  • It was okay.

    That's all that needs to be said.

  • great singer, but hon, we get the point. You have a great tremble in your voice. Knock it off.

  • i think she did great. Better than any of us could do probably!!

  • who is she?

  • I don't think it's fair to compare anyone to Elaine Paige, so I won't.

    However, something that a lot of singers don't understand about theatre musicals is that, while proper vocals are important, acting is much, MUCH more important.

    The singer here does have the vocals down pretty well, but I don't get any sense of the character from her voice. That's something that needs to be worked on.

  • I agree with EVERY word. Took the words right out of my mouth.

  • vale, actuar bien es importante, pero en un MUSICAL, si no se canta bien, se come uno una fool importante

  • Umm... what? Sorry, I don't speak any of the Latin-descended languages, so I don't really understand what you're trying to say.

  • I said that is true what you told about the importance of a right acting, so I think that if an actor can´t sing well in a MUSICAL, he/she sucks. In this kind of theatre, singing skill is much more important than acting. That´s my opinion ;)

  • Fair enough. I suppose, then, that we'll have to agree to disagree. :)

  • im not gonna say anything

  • NO!

    And what was up with the pianist? The tempo was screwed up everywhere.......

  • I think the one with elaine page had more emotion. This girl has a nice a voice, but not for this kind of song. she'd be better singing more modern songs

  • IK! OMG! no emotion AT ALL! she is just singing!

  • she has a really good voice, just not for this song.

  • I agree

  • even the makeup is horrible!

  • no emotion...but good voice

  • ugh she's not very good.

    her voice needs work.

    and she's got no emotion

    in her face. go watch elaine paige,

    thats emotion.

  • I agree! when I watched the video with Elaine Page, I almost cried! now THAT'S good emotion!

  • She could use practice on her acting. She has a beautiful voice, but to become a professional needs a lot of work.

    I didn't like how she slurred some of the lyrics together, but all in all she was very good.

    I'd give her a 7/10. :]

  • this was just flat-the acting, singing, emotion. her voice is ok, nothing amazing. i just keap comparing her to elaine paige & it just pales in comparison.

  • too much vibrato...no emotion...

  • wow ur good

  • she has serious pitch problems at the end of phrases, it was just ok

  • i didn't like the end, the song suppous to down a note, and she gets high, well, it was really good sing. Congrats!

  • She sounds like a disney princess, not mature enough for this part but very pretty :)

  • luv that song

  • thats just mean dude. agreed elaine paige is better, but thats because she is a professional singer who im sure has taken vocal lessons many times. this girl is very talented. i just wish the person video taping had zoomed out more. but yes, she also does not portray very much emothion, and its obvious she does not stay in character. but that last note was very good. other than that it is also illegal to have this video on youtube. its copyright infrigement.

  • she looks like my cousin in that makeup

  • maby she is ? :l

  • i dont hava cuzin named jeanette

  • its pretty good. her voice is nice, but not enough emotion and makeup doesn't portray her age and weakness. rye neck does it better.

  • She hit that last note beautifully! A flawless performance all together. The girl who was Jamima singa beautifully as well.

  • wow beaútiful voice but the videoquality isn`t so good.but i`ve never seen a high school with so good musical talents (sry for my bad english)

  • Wow.

    I'm speechless.

  • she has potential...just work on vibrato, opening the throat, and emotion, it seemed sort of flatlined

  • terrible video quality and not much better performance

  • i never said that she didn't have an amazing voice. *giggles* whoever did the makeup made a dog face instead of a cat face. =D

  • to much vibrato, and to forceful. but she has a wonderful voice, maybe she should try for rumpleteazer or one of the younger cats. her voice isnt mature enough for this role, but with some training i'm sure she could do anything

  • IT"S A HIGH SCHOOL SHOW!

  • i'm not saying it wasnt, she just wasnt that right for the part

  • she has a beautiful voice, but she could have added more emotion. she also has a little bit of trouble with the higher notes... like the last note she hits. she hit it well, but then she closed her throat. she can make it far with that voice with a little bit of training. the second cat can't sing high notes. now that was painful to listen to.

  • its a beautiful performance but it didnt seem to have the same emotion as elaine paige it lacked a sort of longing but it was still good

  • Her voice is way too young for this role. It's not yet developed for a piece of this magnitude. However, for a high schooler she did a great job. I give her props for that! As for her vibrato, it's not that bad. I've heard much worse. It adds a unique color to her voice. Brava!

  • She has a good voice.. she's just a tad forceful... she needs to relax (which I know is hard) and just feel through the music... it's not really that bad... It could be much worse. Keep trying!

  • the reason why there is no orchestra is because this is from

    a concert called high school musical celebration

    where like 10 schools from the area sang different selections from their show

    and she sounds great try being constructive

  • Are you just parroting phrases you hear actual singers use? "Vibrato you could drive a truck through?" Please. Her singing sounds free and the vibrato actually sound natural and properly produced, unlike the majority of warblers who fake those complicated sound spectrums.

    I will grant you that her use of dynamics could be developed but, for your own sake, stop regurgitating stock-phrases until you know a thing or two about vocal technique.

  • its painful to listen to

  • i ths a school play? she looks like shes in high school

  • her voice is to young for the part and she has not captured the true meaning of the song to sum it up she is bad

  • i agree 110%!

  • I agree with teababe9!

  • beautiful voice. what production was this?

  • CATS

    but true with beautiful voice

  • the songs is really great i think she did a good job when she sing this and it always my favorite song

  • she might not have been the best actor, but her voice was wonderful, and she tried

  • ahhmazing! I thought this was a professional! Great job!!!

  • is thsis a school production??

  • yea

  • i liked it!! she started off weirdly, but she gained confidence. the verbrato was odd though!!

  • gatossssssssssssss

    yehaha

  • Her voice is absolutely lovely. The interpretation could have been more "painful," it would have brought more meaning to the performance if she had sounded a little more tormented or mounrnful. But it was still very good.

  • Yah i agree she didnt sound very sad more like she was having fun singing the song which alot of people would but in a musical its about acting as well not just a pretty singer but i must say she is very talented. -Marelo

  • I love this musical

  • My only beef is that Grizzabella is an old cat. The makeup used here does nothing to make her character look old.

  • i know!!

  • Let's see you wear all that make-up on your eyes and not blink like crazy :P

  • Very nice. The vabrato was a little bit weird.

  • She also blinks a hell of a lot

  • Good, but not like.... haunting, like Grizabella

  • Sorry. we bumped into a non-Buckley video. meant Betty Lynn and her Guru.

  • she had lovely voice and some decent acting I agree. Some of that gone and she more ore less retired to show her horses in Texas. We even joined her when she sang for her Guru. She just isn't person we hoped for in her. It saddened us.

  • what?

  • ok you know what? leave this song to elaine paige and jamima! this girl doesnt look anything like grizabella should, and what a horrible voice!

  • is your voice better or is it just the same old meaning some people have a hard time saying good but when it is to bring people down it comes naturally and very easy.(english is not my language hope the meaning can be understood) P.S you try it and then I'll comment I promise to be nice.

  • this girl has some serious pitch issues...

  • Nice voice, interesting costume. It's just weird to see such a different costume than the original...

  • She's got a nice voice but thats all there nothing to drive it. There's no emotion in it. It's like showing someone gold that doesnt shine... whats the point... idk I just made that up idk if it makes sense...i like it though... was a in the moment thing...

  • she did great! but isn't this supposed to be sort of a sad-ish song. she sounds too happy :I

  • wrong lyrics but still amazing i cant sing like with the aaaaaaaa at the end but i can still sing nice

  • Amazing voice!

  • good for a highschooler but not too good she must work hard but she took 5 star for her effort.

  • Amazing, her voice is hust so pure and rich! I've been in musicals and choir and I've never heard anyone better! Keep going and reach for those dreams! :)

  • the lyrics are rong

  • So is your spelling.

  • when you do musicals you have to order the music and if they owners of the play scripts don't like giveing out originals..like the right lyrics..then they don't so most of the time there wrong

  • i kinda like elaine page better O__O;

    but she still sings well..

  • is this High school?wow,it was awesome,just a little bit more training and she can be Broadway material,just one thing,pick another camara man!!!(i'm kidding)

  • People nitpick too much, I think she did a wonderful job. She's not a professional Broadway star, she's a high schooler! She is still learning and she is doing a damned good job. 5 stars.

  • u have to say that she hasnt the best settings and not a complete orchestra behind her.

  • this wasnt from her actualy production

    it was just part of a night where high schools from the area got together to perform a song or 2 from their shows

  • People can be way too critical of high school performances. I was in my high school drama club and we all worked very hard on our shows and most of the time the directors were teachers who wer enot being paid extra for working on the show which means that they were volunteers.

  • Makeup is terrible but she pulls the character off very well!

  • fantastic voice...VERY bland projection! but definitely broadway worthy though...just needs to work on the stage presence thing. Ü

  • I like it.

  • this was really bad.............

  • thats a little harsh, I thought she was rather good, besides she isnt a proffessional and she did her best

  • Bland...that was like bad meatloaf. I mean she's ok, but not for this. I know she may not have been in control of the make-up, but you should have hired someone better. She went flat A LOT, and her vibrato is out of control...good effort, I guess.

  • You can't "hire" someone to be in a high school play/musical.

    What are you, ignorant?

    You have to work with what you have.

    Apparently she was good enough to play Grizzabella out of her school production group, so she got the part.

  • I guess you missed the part where I said "good effort." People keep playing this "high school" thing...there are kids younger than her with more skill. Posting vids for everyone to see leaves room for public criticism, I don't think I was out of line.

  • It seems you missed the part where I said she was possibly the best one of her production group to play Grizzabella.

    So, yes, you were out of line with your comment about saying they should've hired someone.

    That would take the fun out of the play for the kids.

    Come on.

    Lighten up.

  • I was talking about the make-up.

  • not bad

  • And she doesn't live in to the play right.. than it all will sound dry..

  • She has to sing softer.. Or else it all sounds wrong..

  • her voice is great but not for THAT song

    elaine is the only true grizzabella

  • I AGREE!

  • Yeah, she has a great Voice... She tends to go flat and she's her chest voice comes in Quite a bit, Chest voice is CLEARLY Not meant for a piece like this... !

    But she has a good voice....NOT FOR "Memory" though.. !

  • that voice would work for pop.  Every note doesn't need vibrato.

  • she's got an okay voice but NOT right for this song, and her vibrato is a little out of control.

  • Horrenda interpretacion! Sorry for Jeanette

  • this song makes me cry lol

  • i really love her voice... her vebrato is crazy! (in a good way!)

  • She has a pretty voice. I'm not sure it's right for the song though.

  • Lovely

  • she would be better at singing popular from wicked.she needs more training in singing lessons for this song.

  • wow my friends dad could be her agent he's always looking for kids to put in the new musical REBELS. AMAZING!

  • amazing! how old is she?

  • 17 at the time

  • her voice is very good but her accent doesnt suit the song
