Nobody cares for any negative comments here. If you don't care for the music, go somewhere else where you can listen to what you wish to hear. No need to dump negativity on those who don't care about it. I am a trained artist with a world of experience and I love Jennifer Holiday as well as Patti LaBelle. if you don't like. Suck it
My favourite worship song humbly presented with all her vocal being right there. No over dressing, no over makeup, no concern how audience thinks she looks; just worship, raw worship indeed. God bless you mama Jen.❤
I'm a white, non-American atheist, but this right here emanates something strong enough to cross through the sea of distance and differences between us.
Ephesians 2:8-10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
And that's sad. Because there doesn't seem to be much of that, lately. Don't get me wrong. There are FEW current acts, that I really like. But the operative there is FEW. Thanks for posting this. It gave me chills. I've always loved her.
The Baddest singer I know can sing w ith the Best of the Best Hands down.. she is a underated singer..and show why she is one of the Best.. she is Fierce..
I have known Jennifer since age 14, when she walked up to me at church , and said I want to be as pretty as you are , when I grow up. You see we are tall girls. Hallelueh and Amen😊😊
I'm two weeks away from my 60th birthday can I feel the same way I have been her biggest fan since she was in the original dreamgirls I literally had newspaper clippings of her on my wall
Natasha Norville Chil Jennifer’s voice is amazing it’s a blessing from God. She was underrated in the mud industry because the industry is so prejudice when it comes to physical weight on a woman. But that’s ok I’ve always loved her voice.
Can't nobody, I mean nobody ever be able to top that rendition of His Eye is on the Sparrow like this powerhouse vocalist.... Jennifer Holliday! Girl you'll make Satan stop and take notice. I love you Jennifer....whom I've had the pleasure of meeting and talking to..... she did a concert outdoors and they built a stage for her in Dallas in 2001 during pride weekend, Grambling and Prairie View were in the city, and the Texas State Fair was in full effect, festivities everywhere.....because I was calling out all her hits and songs, and it was my birthday, she dedicated a song to me, and signed an autograph picture for me....I was so honored....You're still my favorite original Dreamgirl! Beautiful lady inside and out.
Wish she could sing in my church...people would just love here. This woman is anointed. I feel the power of God....hew!!!! In the mighty name of Jesus.....I sing because I'm happy and free.....great great great is the Lord. That is what I call rocking for the Lord.
Ame..i second that Love me some Jennifer Holliday 2..she jus Blow your mind away what a powerhouse voice she has..she is something too b recond with..she can sing with The Best of them All..
2024🎉❤🎉🎊💕😎 my wife and I have been together for 44 years and separated four times within the first 15 years turn our lives over to JESUS and here we are Glory !!!!!
Great singing is not the anointing. Many individuals like yourself gets the gift mixed up with the anointing. Many individuals who aren't save can perform well.
Leondrae Nance I understand you don’t know what an anointing is because you don’t have it. Open your heart next time before you say hateful things and maybe you will receive an anointing from God
Any one that put thumbs down on this MANIFCIENT singer, surely don't have a clue what GREATNESS is, she is one of the greatest Singer's of all time, She's the one and only, NUFF RESPECT THE BLACKSTONES
This is Jennifer Holiday at her absolute best. No wonder she was chosen to sing Aretha Franklin out of the church to her final resting place....she's the only one who could have done it.
Ok, so there is something called singing! This ain’t that! This is something several steps above! Something not yet named! Whatever it’s called, it transcends everything we feel makes us different from each other. Something close to LOVE!
OMG! You have to possess absolutely no soul not to feel the depth of Jennifer Holiday's spirit in the singing of this song!!! Jennifer Holiday is truly blessed and truly anointed in the word of God!! God has bestowed upon Jennifer a powerhouse voice, which just leaves us all in complete AWE ! Her riffs and runs are just amazing! God bless you Jennifer with that amazing vocal prowess!! The vibrato in her voice just amazes me!! OMG!!! INCREDIBLE!
Everyone who is using foul language on here ought to be ashamed of themselves. Sing unto God...doesn't matter if it's perfect or not....let your spirit sing to the Lord! Sing praises unto the Lord.....God loves all, even us who can't sing.
As much as people want to put Jennifer Hudson right up her alley... THIS right here is where any comparisons end. Absolutely incomparable the talent that this woman possessed back in the 80's.
Those who can sings, those who can't criticizes. Young man, one day when you grow up you'll learn the difference between the two, and until that day comes, "Be Quiet and let the woman sing"
Jennifer Holliday, u have awesomeness voice, definitely God sent. Every time I watched you sing that song. I feel God God present running up and down my body head to toe
Why should I feel discouraged Why should the shadows come Why should my heart feel lonely And long for heaven and home When Jesus is my portion A constant friend is he His eye is on the sparrow And I know he watches over me His eye is on the sparrow And I know he watches me I sing because I'm happy I sing because I'm free His eye is on the sparrow And I know he watches He watches me His eye is on the sparrow And I know he watches I know he watches I know he watches me I sing because I'm happy I sing because I'm free His eye is on the sparrow And I know he watches me He watches me His eye is on the sparrow And I know he watches me He watches me He watches me, I never thought... He watches me
Ms Holliday clearly came to SING! And SING SHE DID! Her vocal abilities are unmatched and her power is beyond remarkable!! Truly God bestowed a wonderful gift to this Lady!!!
I just had to come back to this tonight years and years later! There is no other version that touches my heart like this one! !AND I SING BECAUSE IM HAPPY!!! AND I SING BECAUSE IM FREE!. Lord Jesus thank you! ,Im not worthy of your grace and mercy! Thank you for loving me Lord Jesus!🙏🙏🙏

Come. God sees you and loves you. Open arms. No condemnation. Just love. You felt God call you.
That's so beautiful! I think you have to be dead not to feel something.
Thank you for sharing @ Alex. One can only sing with such fervent passion of a true Living God. We feel Him and we sing about Him.
Ephesians 2:8-10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
Because you know the truth of The Lord in your spirit.
The world wasn't ready for Jennifer then. She did her thing anyway
What was there to be ready for?
@@musicbox63 her pure raw TALENT

@@williambrown1814 I think that she has the type of voice made for singing rock and roll. She could be a great rock singer.
28 Dislikes?. Youre from another planet or envious.This is God alive in Jennifer's voice.
One of the most important performances in the history of mankind.
Ted Carter Truth.
Say that again!
Amen 4 real❤

I am here 10/24/2024❤

I remember watching this as a kid in elementary school. I am now 48 years old and it has the same effect.
I'm two weeks away from my 60th birthday can I feel the same way I have been her biggest fan since she was in the original dreamgirls I literally had newspaper clippings of her on my wall
I still love listening to this song amazing ❤

She's the one and only, NUFF RESPECT
THE BLACKSTONES
I had to kick my chair over. Sing Jennifer!!!
Did you stomp as well👀💖
Remembering the late Mr. Edwin Hawkins on piano. One of the greatest pianist ever lived. Rest on sir!
Jennifer's performance is a major event in vocal history!!!
Only certain singers can take a song and own it and she has this one paid in full.
I voice that cannot be denied. She was blessed with a powerful gift.
A timeless voice! Go Jennifer!!!
This is ridiculously good. What power in her voice.
This is Jennifer Holiday at her absolute best. No wonder she was chosen to sing Aretha Franklin out of the church to her final resting place....she's the only one who could have done it.
and let the church say AMEN!!!!
Take heed Mariah, Christina, Leona! Mama Holliday is LEGEND!
None like Jennifer. She was underrated, but she is good.
She's definitely underrated but she's so so so good 👍
Ok, so there is something called singing! This ain’t that! This is something several steps above! Something not yet named! Whatever it’s called, it transcends everything we feel makes us different from each other. Something close to LOVE!
There is no way u can listen to this song and not feel the Holy Spirit moving in you...#2GodBeTheGlory
You should listen to Patti Labelle you will never walk alone.

Your welcome lol. Tell me what u think.
You're Absolutly Right...🌞🌞🌞♥️♥️♥️
@@robertsmith1474 I love that performance.

Yes. No one ever sang as well as Jennifer Holliday, and no one ever will. She is the greatest voice in the history of the planet.
I most certainly am listening ❤
Hallelujah Thank You Jesus!!!
i'm 23 and i come back to this video about every year since i first discovered it when i was 14 or 15
Everyone who is using foul language on here ought to be ashamed of themselves. Sing unto God...doesn't matter if it's perfect or not....let your spirit sing to the Lord! Sing praises unto the Lord.....God loves all, even us who can't sing.
This lady is my singer. Jennifer Holliday is blessed beyond measure. "When Jesus is my portion, a constant friend is He." Yes He is a constant friend.
Lord lird lord i love Jennifer's version.i would love to meet her my favorite singer. I have all her albums. You better sang ms holiday
She has truly been anointed with a gift from God. That voice is something serious!
dey just don't sang like this anymore in church these days...This is the kind of singing I grew up on.
This version is the best version of His Eye Is On The Sparrow. There's no arguing with me.
#youbettersangjennifer 😘😘
As much as people want to put Jennifer Hudson right up her alley... THIS right here is where any comparisons end. Absolutely incomparable the talent that this woman possessed back in the 80's.
Absolutely and glad you said it!!
It's like thunder!!! A storm! Clapping thunder!! Powerful!
猛烈素晴らしいとしか言い様が無い。🙏❤️🌸💐✨一生に一度で良いからお会いしたいです。😆👍🧡✨
May a double portion of God’s blessing be unto to the one who posted this video. Thank you!❤
sang sang sang young lady amen and amen!!!!!!!
What she does to vowel sounds is an impossible height to reach. Only Jen is capable of 💪🐯💖
This was a once in a lifetime performance. Never to be duplicated but cherished.
I said it before. She's got the souls of our ancestors in that voice. Hasn't been anyone like her since.
She got some wind pipes there. Great Voice.
Wow I was blown away by this woman. Oh my goodness!🙂❤ She can SANG!
Beautiful voice,Jennifer Holliday.
The greatest performance of this song EVER
Amen Amen Amen the very best rendition of this amazing song!! She is amazing God blessed her. Thank you Ms. Holiday
I'm still in a musical coma 37 years later.💚💜
Those who can sings, those who can't criticizes. Young man, one day when you grow up you'll learn the difference between the two, and until that day comes, "Be Quiet and let the woman sing"
I could listen to her and watch her sing all day
How was she not on the Rolling Stone's best singers list and Beyonce, Ariana, Sade, and Rihanna were😮
Happy Women's History Month Jennifer Holliday. I felt the Spirit of God when you sang this song. I wish, they could make a clearer video. Amen
JENNIFER IS .... THE POWER OF GOD !!!!!
My God this woman can sing. What a voice!
Jennifer Holliday, u have awesomeness voice, definitely God sent. Every time I watched you sing that song. I feel God God present running up and down my body head to toe
Why should I feel discouraged
Why should the shadows come
Why should my heart feel lonely
And long for heaven and home
When Jesus is my portion
A constant friend is he
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches over me
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches me
I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches
He watches me
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches
I know he watches
I know he watches me
I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches me
He watches me
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches me
He watches me
He watches me, I never thought...
He watches me
Now THAT'S how the song should be sung!
1:15 blew my mind!
The most under rated not appreciated enough singer in the history of singing.. i love to hear her sing.
To make it really big in this industry ( u have to sell your soul) another great singer is the female singer called Jaguar
Now this is sanging !!
JESUS, WOMAN! those low notes brought me back to life!
One of 2 singers that left me stunned hearing them live, Patti Labelle was the other! The Power in those voices! WOW!
Never seen any artist come close!
