I read most comments and as usual there is always a few who have to make political comments, blaming the democrats, then the insults gets thrown back and forth, then it escalates to the point where Ms Holliday is forgotten. If I remember this presidency, I remember many deaths due to AIDS while Republicans chose to ignore the subject , apparently their reasoning at the time, this was a punishment from God for homosexuality. It was only addressed once , it was known that the virus could infect anyone through tainted blood transfusions putting many hemophiliacs at risk, or many needing transfusions during major surgery or due to loss of blood in critical condition caused by accidents. Many had to die being branded because of their homosexuality. Then, I remember the Iran contra situation. Of course, racist existed just like it still does exist today..But president Reagan may have had his faults like all presidents but not one can match number 45 for narcissism, for avoiding the truth, thinking he was king and to break any law to remain president, not for the love of country but for "himself". He has broken so many laws,we have lost count. He managed to bring out the worst in many who worked for him, even his AG lied for him, his lawyers did the same. I will never understand why they did for a man who only cared about himself and his bank account.The only time he doesn't lie is when he sleeps.
Jessica Silver Ronald and Nancy werent scared. They have to be part of the screening of the performances. Trust they know Jennifer and they knew she was bringing soul, lol.
She had so much energy despite the stiff crowd. She is a class act and a consummate singer and performer, and a sweetheart too. Her message to Chi Chi on the RPDR finale was adorable!
Regan era .... SOOO much racism then...still. Black female vocalists are NOT considered mainstream at all around that period. J.Holliday was brought in there for white folks to see some thing like a freak show. She was savingin it. quite a bit.
@@kennyknight07 will you shut up, please? Why can't she be there because she was talented and brought something to broadway that no one had ever seen before? You liberal left leaning Democrat blacks are always complaining about white people and talking about racism. Just shut up already. I've been called racial slurs more times by blacks than whites. Blacks hate themselves more than whites do. Just stop because you're making yourself look stupid.
@@skip031890 U go talk to Whites in the 70s Republican and see what they have to say! about this! I m the least racist / Just know of horrible truth about Raegan and the crimes he committed in the 80s. If you are an American you shoulda do some research about dat!
Especially since "And I am telling you" wasn't in the original score for Broadway. The Composers wrote this song for Jennifer Holliday Specifically. Nell Carter turned down the roll for "Gimme a break". .
What I love about this is that because of the "context" of the sing originally in the play, Jennifer is usually unbridled in her delivery and the shear beauty of the voice is eclipsed in favor of the squalling. But this is pitch perfect for the room and she srill delivered the package! Brava Diva! 👌🏽🎤🎶💖👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
GPlatinumTV , I so agree with you, Jennifer has a beautiful voice which was usually overshadowed by the squalls and growls which is what many people wanted to hear. This was a gorgeous vocal from her.
The fact that she knew her audience and gave them just enough is mind blowing! She still shook the rafters and got a aww that was so good applause! But we know had the auncince been HER AUDIENCE THAT PLACE WOULD HAVE ERUPTED IN A THUNDEROUS CANNIPTION! Bravo Queen Brava! ♥️♥️♥️
this performance was fairly mellow compared to others, I love her though, she's one of my favourite vocalists and performers EVER. she got me into singing, and her talent got me through the auditions of X factor as I sang it too (and i'm a boy)
Pure fire in my soul when I hear this Jennifer sing this song🔥🔥🔥 Passion lit on fire!!!!!! Look at Jennifer feeling EVERY PASSION IN THIS SONG. She makes us feel it, too!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOW💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH, THAT THIS IS THE FIFTH TOME, I WATCH JENNIFER HOLIDAY SING. . I STARTED AT 5:00AM AND IS 5:50AM WATCHING MS JENNIFER HOLIDAY. 10/22/22.
And I am telling you I'm not going You're the best man I'll ever know There's no way I can ever go No, no, no, no way No, no, no, no way I'm livin' without you I'm not livin' without you I don't want to be free I'm stayin' I'm stayin' And you, and you, you're gonna love me Oh, you're gonna love me And I am telling you I'm not going Even though the rough times are showing There's just no way There's no way We're part of the same place We're part of the same time We both share the same blood We both have the same mind And time and time we have so much to share No, no, no, no, no I'm not wakin' up tomorrow mornin' And findin' that there's nobody there Darling, there's no way No, no, no, no way I'm livin' without you I'm not livin' without you You see, there's just no way There's no way Tear down the mountains Yell, scream and shout You can say what you want I'm not walkin' out Stop all the rivers Push, strike, and kill I'm not gonna leave you There's no way I will And I am telling you I'm not going You're the best man I'll ever know There's no way I could ever, ever go No, no, no, no way No, no, no, no way I'm livin' without you Oh, I'm not livin' without you I'm not livin' without you I don't wanna be free I'm stayin' I'm stayin' And you, and you, and you You're gonna love me Oh, yeah, you're gonna love me Yes, you are, love me Oh, oh, oh, love me Love me Love me Love me Love me You're gonna love Me
Yeah back then old white people considered her talent Screaming (even today people consider loud high belting to be screaming). The way of singing they were used to hearing a female sing was high soprano soft gentle voices. Women were always supposed to be soft gentle and polite. Only men could sing LOUD. My grandfather hated Ethel Merman, barbra stresand, jennifer, Melba Moore. I think its a white people thing not to appreciate high belting/growling bc it is foreign to them, or they jus jealous
Or maybe because they thought it was ugly? They (i.e. high society at that time) liked gentler, more reserved things. Not saying I don't like it, but it wasn't considered "elegant" to belt loud, gritty, raspy, (sometimes uncontrolled).
I doubt it's jealousy. My boyfriend only listens to instrumental music, and if he listens to music with singing it's other white guys from the seventies. My last boyfriend was the same. They just don't care for the female voice.
I never thought it that way but what you are saying actually makes loads of sense because those are the reasons why I LOVE fierce belting, it's empowering
What a load of bullshit... You literally mentioned a white woman in there who is one of the best voices. We love a belter. ARETHA Whitney??? Jennifer just goes too far.... She over does it.
That's how you can tell when an artist can really sing, when the band does a shitty job on the instrumentals and the performance is still focused on the vocalist! Just saying.... 🤷🏿♂️
⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘For Ms. Holiday's beautiful voice. She held back. Jennifer Holiday will have you crying after a full performance . #Blackexcellence to the maximum #Blackbeauty #blackgirlmagic #Blackgirlsrock
That white audience was embalmed. Most whiteys are like that but some of us are not, and we try to tear our fingers through the soft white Weber's bread every day ....
This is sublime like subtile don’t want to do more so as to not disturbed the place with a large output and respecting the environment she’s in not every place we need to sing with so much energy ..... I preferred this performance
Ms. Holiday, handled that with spectacular style and class. Catch her in the streets, and shes going to wop wop wop wop wop on that mic, and fuck'em up!!!!
She’s was ABSOLUTELY holding back. This was her prime, normally when she sang this- she would literally be in another level going crazy on this song.
Agree, I think she was nervous or didn’t relax because she is singing in the White House in front of the President making her hold him back😂
@@paulac888 not at all. She knew the audience & sung accordingly.
OMG!!!! She was holding back???? She is in one word: SPECTACULAR!!!

Ronald and Nancy look terrified. That is probably the most soul the White House had seen in twenty years. God bless Jennifer Holliday.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭💯
Jessica Silver they don't look scared in the slightest. Ronald seems genuinely happy
Jessica Silver mnn
Jessica Silver Ronald and Nancy werent scared. They have to be part of the screening of the performances. Trust they know Jennifer and they knew she was bringing soul, lol.
Jessica Silver like they just had some good fried chicken. First they are scared of it. Then they taste it and it’s the best thing they ever ate.
The Original Queen Diva singing like nobody else can. LOVE HER.
She didn't even try and she still sounded amazing. The audience was probably so shocked
You were right!! Republicans ain’t done nothing for blacks and Regan was a known racist!!
I love Ms. JENNIFER'S tone, her control and her powerful emotion and range.
She had so much energy despite the stiff crowd. She is a class act and a consummate singer and performer, and a sweetheart too. Her message to Chi Chi on the RPDR finale was adorable!
This is like 27% of her normal vocal capacity.
lalagonegaga lol true

NO ONE!
Yep .
Why isn’t there any singers like that anymore. I mean pure talent. No auto tune required.
If only there were more singers today with raw talent.
Fantasia is the only modern singer who can come close
@@aweofmeNo. Fantasia just screams and yells through entire songs during her live performances.
Her voice actually does shake the theater.
Yep. 3:28 and 4:45
@@P_Belle don’t forget 5:03
No just no she had to bring her voice down for the pianos. This VOICE needs a Full Symphony and the Met opera house to contain it!
So true
She would drowned out the pianos if she had sung at her full volume.
So basically she had to code switch.
she would've had that piano running down the street crying with several popped wires 😂😂
@@corneliuswhite5139 YEP!! :)

This !!! She knew her audience so she toned it down . And they still couldn’t take her
this is definitely a subtle version of hers she didn't wanna blow them white people off their seat loool
LAMO!!!
I truly believe her voice and intensity is in. Class by herself. And this song is probably one of the greatest ever written and performed.
Thank God this is back on UA-cam! This performance at the White House is one of her finest!

And I am telling you
I'm not going
You're the best man I'll ever know
There's no way I can ever go
No, no, no, no way
No, no, no, no way I'm livin' without you
I'm not livin' without you
I don't want to be free
I'm stayin'
I'm stayin'
And you, and you, you're gonna love me
Oh, you're gonna love me
And I am telling you
I'm not going
Even though the rough times are showing
There's just no way
There's no way
We're part of the same place
We're part of the same time
We both share the same blood
We both have the same mind
And time and time we have so much to share
No, no, no, no, no
I'm not wakin' up tomorrow mornin'
And findin' that there's nobody there
Darling, there's no way
No, no, no, no way I'm livin' without you
I'm not livin' without you
You see, there's just no way
There's no way
Tear down the mountains
Yell, scream and shout
You can say what you want
I'm not walkin' out
Stop all the rivers
Push, strike, and kill
I'm not gonna leave you
There's no way I will
And I am telling you
I'm not going
You're the best man I'll ever know
There's no way I could ever, ever go
No, no, no, no way
No, no, no, no way I'm livin' without you
Oh, I'm not livin' without you
I'm not livin' without you
I don't wanna be free
I'm stayin'
I'm stayin'
And you, and you, and you
You're gonna love me
Oh, yeah, you're gonna love me
Yes, you are, love me
Oh, oh, oh, love me
Love me
Love me
Love me
Love me
You're gonna love

@@WarperBlade It's called passion and soul and the reason Black picked it up and whites didn't is simply because of the past
I never thought it that way but what you are saying actually makes loads of sense because those are the reasons why I LOVE fierce belting, it's empowering
What a load of bullshit... You literally mentioned a white woman in there who is one of the best voices. We love a belter. ARETHA Whitney??? Jennifer just goes too far.... She over does it.
FABULOUS!
Nancy Regan at the end looks like she is thinking " nice, lets hire her as our new nanny!
+Mario Slim lmao!!! you are so wrong for that!
I'm going to hell for laughing at this haha
Stijn Slim Please, dig a hole. I'm dead...😂😂😂😂😂😂
Stijn Slim really??? She can hire ur mom instead
🤭💀💀💀💀💀
Always take the soul out of everything. From Rock and Roll to Rap music. Add water and stir.
That's how you can tell when an artist can really sing, when the band does a shitty job on the instrumentals and the performance is still focused on the vocalist! Just saying.... 🤷🏿♂️
THIS MY FIRST TIME SEEING ALL OF THIS AWESOME INSPIRING STILL TO GOD BE THE GLORY
Just amazing
omg thank you thank you for reposting! fantastic performance. RIP Hamlisch
Love her....
⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘For Ms. Holiday's beautiful voice. She held back. Jennifer Holiday will have you crying after a full performance . #Blackexcellence to the maximum #Blackbeauty #blackgirlmagic #Blackgirlsrock
Mind blowing
Definitely not her usual self. Not even a quarter of her energy. And yet ...still so fantastic...wow.
I love the intro. He's like I'm warning you...🤣 And then she didn't even give them her full force.
They had. Diva in the flesh and didn’t acknowledge her properly! Off with their heads!
To Jennifer holiday you are a great vocalist your our 1 DIVA besides Aretha your are loved World wide and so is your song 💙❤️💜💚 💋👍
Stellar , Iconic performance .Dr.Dixon
She OWNS this song!
I love this version as everyone is saying is scaled down.
Definitely she was "playing the room" -- she could have blown out the windows and had security come running. Class act...
not many female vocalists can say that for the rest of time nobody will be able to sing your song as SHE does, that includes whitney.
The resonance on “am” at the breakdown/climax is incredible
Jennifer came through for the White House!!!
I love this girl
Irrepetible 👑👏👏👏👏👏👏
She sing so well
This is her inside voice lol Yes she was holding back here, and it was still an absolutely amazing performance!
Oh yeah, she ABSOLUTELY held back…. But BAAAAAAAABYYYYYYY, she packed HELLA power in the moments she wanted to give them that REAL pressure!
She spared that audience! Trust me when I tell you..
That white audience was embalmed. Most whiteys are like that but some of us are not, and we try to tear our fingers through the soft white Weber's bread every day ....
Sis, I see you back there on that grand piano. She wuz putting her ALL into them keys!
Excellent!
She was AWESOME , but that audience was soooo dry! My goodness! Smh!!!
NO WORDS.......
The elegant version
SIMPLY AMAZING🙂
Amazing!!!
omg what a boring audience!!
they're silenced by the thrills
ahahhahahhahaha
ha ha ha
WHITE POLITICIANS
Un duo entre Jennifer Holiday et Whitney Houston aurait donné quelque chose de grandiose !❤️
Jennifer Holliday has performed @ every Inauguration except for the one for #45.
His loss🤐
THAT VOICE!
In musical terms, they talk about "stank". And people in the internet wonder "What is that?". Ahem, THIS is stank!
If ever a crowd needed to stand.........it was this time.
They couldn't. They were old white embalmed people. I should know ... I'm white.
This is sublime like subtile don’t want to do more so as to not disturbed the place with a large output and respecting the environment she’s in not every place we need to sing with so much energy ..... I preferred this performance
She’s definitely holding back. It would’ve been too much for them
She showed some control! But even then, she did a hella performance!!!!
If ever there was a less worthy audience for that talent…
Yes, Lord💜💜💜
She is Super duper👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Wow!!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩Outstanding voice🙏🏻🙌💖💜♥️❤️👍🏻👌🏼🤍
I don't know why but I always think about miss Tamela Mann when I hear this song! :-)
I Am crying.
God Love This Woman Heard this song for the first timecard Dream a girls stayed with my Husband changed my LIFE
Ms. Holiday, handled that with spectacular style and class. Catch her in the streets, and shes going to wop wop wop wop wop on that mic, and fuck'em up!!!!
the audience did NOT deserved Jennifer Holliday that day.
incrível !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
