      i'm confused. you dont need to be alive when a song was released to know who sang it 🤔 presumably you understood dream girls was a remake, so it's odd to say age is why you didnt know. that said, i dont think ppl need to assassinate you for the snub. a simple request for a corrective is enough.

      @@i_am_legend7827 LOLL I feel bad...I'm not that old but i truly never heard the song until the Dream Girls movie. A lot of music from this time i didn't hear until i left home for college (when i really got into researching samples used by the 90's/2000s artists. I'm from a fam of die hard Christians so most music outside of that was a no-no. So i was extra late on some good/classic music. 😂

      Ayesha Sha Sha Agreed, stunning performance. I don't understand these comments, however, that she changed the key or modulated down; apart from some minor variations in a riff here or there this is exactly as she sings it on the original London cast recording, just as written by the great Henry Krieger. Am I wrong?

Not sure why she did that, I've had the pleasure of seeing her do this live in London when she was in Dreamgirls... And she was frigging SENSATIONAL, sang it all in the right keys...

Aretha Franklin gave her stamp of approval to her cover of "Ain't No Way" which she sang live at the Glee concert stating "One of the most talented ladies this decade, bravo I enjoyed this very much" on her facebook page back in 2010-2011. Also back in those days you say it wasn't about pitch but that's only because they didn't have modern technology so they had to do over 70-90 different takes to finally make the final mix of the song where as it's roughly 20 different takes with 10-30 different cuts now a days.
