There are not many positive things you can say about the musical Cats. Whether it is the movie or stage production. However, one of the nice memories from it is the song Memory. As I said, it is only nice. Jimmy Fallon and The Roots found a way to give it a new life with the cast of the big screen version of the show.
The Tonight Show reworked the ballad with a happier beat using classroom instruments, and you can tell it suited Taylor Swift, Jason Derulo, James Corden, and Jennifer Hudson sang it.
I think this take on the classic show tune is purrfect. You knew that was coming.
Normally when Taylor Swift is on talk shows, the hosts kiss her a$$. For someone reason, Jimmy Fallon decided to not to do that on The Tonight Show yesterday.
First, he called her mom and asked her if she had anything incriminating on her daughter. Turns out she does. The singer recently got Lasix surgery and was a little drugged out afterward. Therefore, her mom grabbed her phone and recorded her daughter going for a banana. When Taylor did not get the one she wanted, she was ready to write a song about it. As in she started to cry. Then when she did get the one she wanted, she went to her bed and ate it in there.
Needless to say, Taylor is not happy with her mom. However, for her next embarrassing moment, she has no one to blame but herself. Fallon challenged her to a game of Name That Song. She was annihilating him until the last song. That is when he beat her to the buzzer. She will not be able to shake it off anytime soon that she missed that tune because it was Shake It Off.
I have a feeling we won’t be seeing her on The Tonight Show again anytime soon. I also think a lot of people in her life got an earful. On a positive note for, at least Kanye West was not the one embarrassing her this time around.
Three-thousand fans camped out overnight in Manhattan to see Taylor Swift perform live on Good Morning America this morning. When the singer found out, her people including her dad decided to feed them. Since New York is the city that never sleeps, they found an all-nite pizza joint and handed out pies to the Swifties. Reportedly 10 Manhattan blocks of admirers.
That is a lot of pizzas! Then again, Swift can afford it. Boy, can she afford it.
Sincerely, this is a nice gesture. I have not heard of another musician doing this. Then again, I never paid attention to it before.
Taylor Swift has been singing professionally since she was a teenager, so she never needed to work as a waitress to make money. Which turns out is a good thing.
I know that because Capital One hired her-er-er to do a commercial for their Savor Card. They decided to have her go undercover as a waitress and bartender. What did we learn? She sucks as someone who would work in the service industry. And reconfirms that she cannot do humor. Why do people think she can? She needs to stick to singing catchy songs about ex-boyfriends.
When you watch the trailer for Cats, you think this musical looks beautiful. I cannot wait to see it this Christmas.
Then you remember that it was one of Manhattan’s biggest mysteries. People wondered why it was the longest-running musical on the Great White Way when almost everyone who saw it, hated it.
I grew up in NYC, so I went to plenty of Broadway shows growing up. Cats was the first one I hated and so did my parents. And we are cat people. Andrew Lloyd Webber has made some great shows and some awful ones. This falls in with the latter.
When it comes to Jennifer Hudson singing Memory, her singing is all power with no emotion. It is a showstopping number because it is the heart of the show. Not enough heart in her voice. The other problem is it cast a lot of A-listers, they are just celebrities that people find annoying. Not Judi Dench or Idris Elba, but you know who.
