How is one of the greatest vocalists alive still not getting her due recognition blows my mind
Recognition in the music industry involves other people making money off your talent. If you cannot be bought, don't care about fame, or unwilling to cheapen yourself- the industry (most, not all) has no need for you. This is how someone like Jennifer Holliday can sing like an angel for decades, shatter the competition, sing without tiring, and still we have to look for her in the stacks.
yes, raw talent there
It’s really simple. Luciferians run the world, she is true devout Christian, and that is a non no for them
I believe God is controlling that for His reasons. She's just phenomenol! No one like her!! NO ONE!! And she's humble and NICE!!

Jennifer Holiday is a Broadway Icon. She sang this song eight shows a week from 1981-1985 straight before leaving the show. I saw her on Broadway in 1982; I can't even begin to describe the audience reaction in the beginning, middle, and end of this song during her performance. I was 11 years old at the time and I knew I was witnessing greatness - just reliving that moment in my mind gave me goosebumps. She was beyond amazing and the thunderous applause at the end for her said it ALL.
Iconic I remember growing up on the outskirts of NY, THE commercials for Dreamgirls.. always amazed me
Me too. I was just a kid. I was mesmerized. I honestly wanted to be her.
She si an ABSOLUTE icon! She performed a grueling schedule ! How she didn't bust a damn vocal cord I don't know - a powerhouse ! You hear me ! The haters better sit their asses down!!!
No she’s didn’t 40% of her acts in the first year were by her understudy !!
I saw in 1982 too. The show was better than any movie. They don't get another take its live
Instead of criticising her technique and the way she pronounced some of words.... WHY CAN'T YOU JUST LISTEN TO THE MUSIC SHE IS A ICON. She's made millions of what she does so
I myself dont think people are criticizing her technique. I think they are just pointing out the technique she is using because it is so amazing and there just isn't the best or correct words to use. Just saying....
She is a great storyteller with a powerful voice. I struggle to understand why she made some of those choices though. 5:15 onward I'm just curious whats going on.
She makes those ugly faces
@@Carmelmen1 It adds to the attitude of the sing, it shows emotion. A lot of singers do that
@@Carmelmen1 There’s nothing ugly about her or the character she’s singing.
For all the idiots that gave this a thumbs down, If Jennifer Holiday didn’t perform this song there would be no Jennifer Hudson 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
Isiah Doss I'm with you
Right
Agreed
Isiah Doss that’s bs. Jennifer Hudson was gonna happen either way.
@@chanekawaihae7540 no hell she would not...dream girls the movie put her in Hollywood not Idol
almost 40 years later and she is still flawless. A true talent!
Look.. Jennifer Holliday is a primadonna. There is no one that has gone before or after that is anything like her. She truly is an incredible singer.
Ornacia ORNACIA wheres vivacious?
Try elizabeth ramsey
fellow drag race fan watching this bc of chi chi i assume?
@@Leo-tu8gh motha has arrived
She changed her style of singing to STILL sound good at her age while controlling her voice is just….yes miss Holliday I love yewwww🙏🏻😂😭👏🏻
Exactly and her voice is still strong. She can blow many of this generations vocalists out of the water
this woman is so under rated, she can blow!! see how she reach deep down from the diaphragm and brang it all out! wow!!
She has won Grammy's and Tony's. She's not underrated
Not underrated.
She brought it out
Jennifer, gurl, I was 31, when you hit the scene and you torn it down and now I'm 68, gurl your still Tearing it down!!!
I was 22 when I first heard Jennifer Holiday singing this in Dream girls and I was blown away! And I'm still blown away and I'm 59 now! Where does the time go? ❤️
@@sylviaallen5333
I am 64 and don't know how I got to be this age.
I wish I could back for a while. 💗⚘🕊
I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M SEEING THIS AMAZING HUMAN BEING THIS SUNDAY! AHHHHH!!!
😂😀
If you don't look ugly or if your lips don't tremble when your in the moment, are you really in the moment? Are you really feeling the passion?
Exactly
Patti LaBelle said you can't be pretty and sing! You got to get ugly with it.
I would say yes!!!
That sounds about right. When you have that much passion, emotion, and soul in you to deliver a song that calls for feeling, how can one care about looking pretty?
Omg yes straight speaking facts the higher the more sour your face might get 😂
There is a Special Place in HELL for anyone who gives Ms. Holiday a thumbs down. The fact that she is still able to stand on stage and SANG is a miracle. She has a story that deserves to be told and respected!
PROBABLY SOME IGNORANT MILLENNIALS!
Woah not all Millennials have horrible taste in Music, I’m in love with Ms.Holiday’s music!
Q Rutledge-Wade EXACTLY THIS LADY CAN FREAKING SANGGGGG
100%
Q Rutledge-Wade ......You are so right!
You know you've done a good job when your mic is covered with lipstick by the end of the night
lol
good one -- but true!!
I never noticed that until u mentioned it! Only a Queen like her could look So good & leave it ALL OUT THERE EVery TIME she sings this song.
True dat😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Literally came to the comments section to make the same comment!! 💄 🎤
Really captivating . There’s no way we can leave a holiday without JENNIFER!
What?
It don't matter if it's on key or if it's a step an a half down. She can still tear into this song and sing it like nobody else.
Ain't nobody like her in this world. She tears thst song up&down everytime!💕💞✊🎵🎶🎶👑👑👑
Even at lower key she slay!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you JENNIFER HOLLIDAY for One of the best evenings of my life...1982 my husband took me to see DREAMGIRLS in NYC for our 10th anniversary , we are now in our 48th year of marriage...you were my best anniversary gift ever!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏
My God!! That woman sent chills through my body singing HER song!!! 😢👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Bravo!

"I'm not GO-EEHUUU- I I -NG" 1:05
I’m not go*yawns*
HAHAHAHAHHA
i'm laughing 😂😂😂
OMG i thought I was the only one thinking abt this 😂
💀 💀 😂
This is what you call owning a song and not letting anyone to copy your style.. Love this woman so much power and talent.
Nobody can do it. Only her herself. So respect DIVA! 💕😍
I love Jennifer Holliday but how does she pronounce a g without closing her mouth... she is truly out of this world
Nadia Ferguson 😂RIGHT!!!!!!
Nadia Ferguson it's not hard
😂
g is a sound made in the back of your mouth hun, no lips or teeth required
Its called special ability
When I first saw her sing this on Broadway I don't think the White audience knew how to react. Us Black folks were going crazy screaming and hollering and the White folks was kind of giving us the side eye. We taught and showed them that it was okay to shout out and show your appreciation for a song/s that really moved you. And that also motivated the actors as well. Theatergoers and audiences of every hue have now come to life and WE paved the way.
I'm white...i saw her in the 80"s, we were going crazy!!! I was in awe. Beautiful women, absolutely mindblowing voice. One of a kind.
They were feeling it primally.
Really? 🤣
I lovvveeeeee Gospel style singers & music. They have so passionate & alive. I love Jennifer
Oh good grief, white people certainly appreciated and went nuts for her performance on Broadway. Maybe you had some stuff shirts when you went, but she was always blowing everyone away and they went wild for her. As for "paving the way," audiences have been coming to life for artists since long before Dreamgirls. Let's not pretend we invented the internet. Let's just enjoy great performances like hers...which is legendary.
The queen of theatrical song!!!!
How the heck can she still belt this out at nearly 60!! I can barely hold a note! Love, love love her ❤
She’s like fine wine
I love the softer approach to this song. It adds so much more heartbreak to the song.
whenever i watch her performances, she never fail to impress me. those growls, tho! wow 💕 a true legend!
This woman never failed to give me goosebumps. 😍😍😍
She looks younger and a lot different ,more beautiful that she was on her 20s or 30s...
Are you sure you got the right Jennifer Halliday there are more than one singers out there with the same
That's delusional. She looks great but there's no way a 50 plus year old looks younger than a chubby 25 year old. Period.
@@rustybennineoneonemajesty idk man OP kinda has a point. I was shocked how young Holliday looks here
@Coffee & Tea A thin 50 year old will never look younger than a fat 20 something. Get over it. There are benefits to being young; firm skin, no gray hair, no wrinkles, good knees, a juicy vag, not many ailments. I could go on. Big diff from 20 to 50 so stop.
Ashleigh Baez If you take care of yourself you could be all those at 50 just saying
One of the most iconic and passionate Broadway performers! I adore her! She is so sincere and deep!!!!! Love you!
I love how she pronounce going.😂😂😂
ME TOOOO 😩🤣 literally my favorite hahaha she take those lips to the side
Me too😂😂😂
Me too hahahhaa
Same
@@StoryOfAlonzo what. Up. My. Friend
Aside from the gorgeous voice, she is getting younger and younger... love and respect ❤️
Her Voice Is the Same Voice When She Was more Young😍
Jennifer! You have been one of my favorite entertainers since I was 19 years old. We all love you!
Jennifer Holiday was the embodiment of everything this character was meant to be and then some. She had the ability to bring everyone in that theater so deep into that moment, and feeling, and the pain. That the outside world disappears all together. What an iconic moment in time.
Definition of greatness........
This performance is out of this universe . I think this performance is floating in the galaxy hooooooo. Love it
Wow. She sang that song. I love she wore purple. Purple mesns royalty. She is music royalty. She looks great and sound great.
Ms. Holiday schooling us how this song should have been sang and not just being relentlessly belted.
OJ Orcullo your mocking jeniffer judson and amber riley
Uhm nope. They too know how to sing this but in my opinion nothing beats the original.
@@jeiorcullo she sang it good...but i agree i prefer the original too
Beautiful voice and she is a beautiful woman...............Great talent is timeless.....
Thank you Ms. Holliday, you are a treasure! What I would have give to be in the audience that night!
OMG at that age she could sing that way she just a saint. She truly an artist !!! May god give this saint jennifer healthy and long live as we want her to sing !!!

This Chick can still Sing. I TRULY Love her!
Jennifer Holiday is my FAVORITE Singer! She is AWESOMELY AMAZING! Her Vocals are like NO other! She Sings from the Very Deepest Depth of her Soul! Her Whole Internals are involved!
I think her way of expressing her singing is won-der-ful!!! Sang girl!!! Yes!!!

Who else in September loving her voice.

I remember this song from Broadway Jennifer Holiday is the real deal.
The voice! O Love you Miss Jennifer Holyday 💜
A huge legacy given to us by this amazing woman. This survivor, this beauty, this warrior woman, this woman of the heart x
Amazing!!!💕💕💕
LOVE YOU SO MUCH JENNIFER!!!!
I still cry when she sings this.
No no no way,I am living without you.
Oh tears again. 😢
Jennifer thankyou for this beautiful song lovely lady. 💗⚘🕊
She deserves to squeeze out every single note of pathos in a song that made her a star. I saw her do it live in Dallas in 1984 and she had the Mistral, a two-tiered nightclub absolutely losing it with screams, tears and applause. She was at her very best. She needs to perform - and she knows this will always remind everyone from whence she came.
Simply great! We owe her this iconic song! Future generations maybe will learn from such a lady!!!
It just doesn’t get any better.
She’s so dramatic at the end, I love it!!
Amazing Vocals, and Amazing Talent!
NO WORDS!! God, you truly out did yourself when creating Ms. Holiday❤❤❤.
Lower Key but still beautiful
Another beautiful performance of that beautiful song by the one and only Jennifer Holliday! Loved it!!!👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥💐💐💐💐❤
Yes Lady! The original!!!
Jennifer id a Superstar!Love her❤️
I mean, she’s an ICON! A living legend.
STUNNING!!!!
Even lowering the key she still sings it better than the rest
Completed 50 likes after two years ✌️✌️
Nothing to do but to watch her perform. ☺
INCREDIBLE SINGER...VERY GOOD...INSANE HER CONTROL...GREAT VOICE FOREVER
I love you so much Jennifer from Thailand...
Thank you Jennifer thank you so much God bless

I saw the original on Broadway. She was excellent! I think everyone in the audience was touched in a place they didn't know existed.
