Her voice is incredible, I had to catch myself because I kept saying you better sang bitch lol she sounds just like the original record it’s crazy her voice is phenomenal
Jennifer Holiday, her voice, makes me feel every single note, every single letter of every single word in my mind, my body and my soul - my inner core. I'm so glad I happened to hear 'And I'm Telling You...' at a drag show during one of my first times at a gay bar/club. I was very naive at nearly 22, the first time I ever went to any type of bar/club. Before turning 22, I had no idea that gay bars/clubs even existed much less drag queens/shows. After hearing 'And I'm Telling You...' one weekend evening, I immediately researched to find that song was on the 'Dreamgirls' soundtrack. It turned out to be a double bonus with adding Jennifer Holiday to my list of preferred artists/vocalists AND adding 'Dreamgirls', one of the all-time best soundtracks ever, to my album collection. I basically know that soundtrack's lyrics by heart and still listen to it often from beginning to end. And, of course, Jennifer Holiday is a natural part of my R&B song mix. Thank you, Jennifer Holiday, for giving me, us, the human race the gift of your grace, style and voice which is everlasting on this planet and the far reaches of the universe. 🎤🎼🎵🎶🤩
As my late friend Michael McCalaster would say, She can't help it. That was his statement for someone who was so good, they just can't be bad. Miss Michael but I now if he were here, he would agree given he said this about her so many times when he was alive. Again, This is what real singers can do.
❤What a Wonderful Saying.❤ You Know it Seems that Many Many of our Old School, Wise, and Just Good People are Gone. I really MISS Them. From Family, Friends, Chruch, Entertainers, Teachers, Artists, Singers, Neighborhoods, etc. The ONLY Thing We have With Us are MEMORIES, WORDS, SONGS. Thank "GOD" for Tha❤t.
first of all, RIP to the legendary Angela Bofill. For those of us who came up listening to her original recording of this song, there is no one that fills her shoes. But Im just as in love with Jennifer's version, as Im am with the original. Because Jennifer understood how well-written the song was from the gate...and all she had to do was give the song the emotion and beauty the song requires from a voice like hers.
Brilliance! I still have the VHS that I recorded this unforgettable episode on, but this is clearer than when I saw it in '91!!! Thank you for posting this amazing woman just taking everybody to school and church!
Her voice is amazing just like a train, however can be sweet like water,however powerful lungs for real timeless, in same category as aretha franklin, who loved her obviously.,big facts.
And she did a remake of giving up by donny hathaway she sent it thru the roof, singing on a stage next to her you better be ready to hold your own. Lol.fa real she is one of the best in the whole wide world that I've heard in my life so far and Vanessa bell armstrong
Jennifer sang this together with "what I did for Love" in Munich, Germany , did anybody has a recording? I Had it, but list it 😟. Jennifer looked and sounded wonderful 😁.
Wow I’m blown away. Do you think you could find Stephanie’s Apollo performance videos from the 80s?!, id really appreciate it as I’m a huge fan of her. 🤞🏽❤️
I would love to hear Fantasia's take on this classic. I come back every few months to enjoy Jennifer's version. She can this live better than the studio version she put out.
But I do understand for some. It's just not there. And I can tell it's not there. By the way, you live and that's a good thing. You know, it's a good thing not to have those feelings. People aint right anymore.
This woman, and Aretha: there just never was and never will be better---and that from a straight, shit-kickin, pickup drivin, Donald Trump lovin, Southern, white boy.
I'm still listening to it in 2024
The clarity is astounding.
Just like it was today, 1991, home in L.A. I could not go out Clubbing, because the one and only The Great Jennifer Holliday.
Her voice is incredible, I had to catch myself because I kept saying you better sang bitch lol she sounds just like the original record it’s crazy her voice is phenomenal
Yes, I love how she articulates the melody of the words for the chorus.
Amazing! There will never be one like her again. She is truly unique.
Shes in a class all by herself, outstanding

She is amazing she never got her just do her and Melba Moore
But I do understand for some. It's just not there.
And I can tell it's not there. By the way, you live and that's a good thing. You know, it's a good thing not to have those feelings. People aint right anymore.
Throat destroyed permanently
She's true to this not new to this. Voice still intact 30 years later.
@@itsnoahonfire I meant my/most singers throats destroyed permanently. 😆
Sounds like a preacher preaching in song.
Teddy Pendergrass influence.
This woman, and Aretha: there just never was and never will be better---and that from a straight, shit-kickin, pickup drivin, Donald Trump lovin, Southern, white boy.
Hey, that’s pretty darn good Southern white boy😆👍🏾🕊️
