    They women are ALL fabulous singers. Remember guys/gals the original production was 35 years ago. Their vocals were so stellar then that generations later folk are still talking about it and trying to remake it. There's so many touring companies out there now trying to recapture what they've done. Just enjoy them where they are now. Vocally they shouldn't be where they were 35 years ago. All have done tremendous work since then. Love them all. Real Divas!!!!!!

      They were basically acting out their characters for the song. This was the song used to convince Effie to accept the secondary singing position.
      However, in real life they are pretty good friends.

      Again - for those who do not know their history - This is the Tony Awards performance (and the awards they won) highlighting the talent of this cast. (It is also the video that JHud referred to while preparing for her role. I thought it was given that everyone knew these things already.) ua-cam.com/video/K5QR_EBKWpg/v-deo.html

    I believe in the actual show, Jennifer Holiday's character ("Effie") does not sing in this number, AT ALL. The other characters use the song to comfort and embrace her. She has no muscle memory of singing it; rather, she stood center stage while everyone else encircled her. This must have been awkward for her.
