Jennifer Hudson is starring as Grizabella in the film version of Cats.

And she got a chance to perform the signature song “Memory” as a guest star at Tuesday’s Season 17 finale on The Voice.

Her performance of the song is also featured on the film soundtrack.

‘It’s such an honor to sing it, it really is,” Jennifer told The Today Show, referring to the song.

“Songs like that, you don’t touch. But at the same time, I’m like, ‘What am I supposed to do? Stand on my head and sing it?’

‘My resolve was to add my heart to it. Let the notes be the same, but let the emotion do the speaking.”

The version fans got to hear Tuesday night appears below.

Cats the film — also starring Taylor Swift, Rebel Wilson and Jason Derulo — hits theaters Friday.
