Nice video - it matches the song. Good job - I pray we get an album soon, Ms. Jennifer - one like from back in 'the day', when each song complimented each other and you can just press play and listen without picking and choosing. I appreciate your artistry and for blessing us with this song. Be blessed and prosperous.
BLACK PEOPLE!!!!! PLEASE "HELP" TAKE BACK BLACK MUSIC!!!!! R&B MUSIC!!!! IT'S UP TO YOU; AND ONLY "YOU" CAN DO IT!!!! LET YOUR MONEY AND BUYING-POWER STAND FOR SOMETHING!!!! YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!! TAKE BACK THE BLACK MUSIC!!!

She has brought back the lush sounds of Luther, Anita, Patti, Jeffrey, Peabo, Natalie and Phil Perry. Well done Queen, well done 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽!!
Thank You Diva70sMusic! Appreciate your support and your wonderful review. Yes,I was thinking of that “Luther Vandross Lovesong Vibe”! So happy that you love the song and the video❤️😘
@@JenniferHollidayDreamgirl No, THANK YOU, Ms. Holliday!!! You are truly a great artist. I have loved your music and performances since you burst on the scene. I love all of your songs and it's hard to pick a favorite. But your rendition of "Come Sunday" will bring me to blubbering tears each time I listen to it. Cannot wait for the new album. God bless you🙏🏽!
I was captivated by "I Am Love"...❣ This is the Ms Holliday that I've always longed for. Your distinct vocals are a timeless classic. Thank you for sharing your gift.
There are singers and then there is Jennifer Holliday. She is on that level of vocal storytelling I call "sangin". This woman gives me chills every time I listen to her. It doesn't matter what genre she sings because she knows how to connect with her audience. I'm so grateful to God for giving this woman such a magnificent voice. Thank you, Jennifer, for sharing with us what was given to you.
@@JenniferHollidayDreamgirl Ms. Jennifer Holliday I am a Loyal fan of yours.. when u belt out them beautiful notes u make the inside of me feel so good. Your voice is something too be recond with..what a anointed voice by God. Keep singing and Blessing my soul.. Your one of the Best singer's I know MAY God be a fence all around u and everytime you sing . May God use you and Bless that awesome voice of yours..Be Blessed!🙂
Now this is the r&b we is missing these days. Omg. Jennifer did such an amazing job on this song. The vocals,The message behind the record. This is a solid record.
Thanks DeAndre! My desire with this song was to bring back R&B music and the other artist like myself who have been tossed to the side. Thank you for your comments of support! Have an awesome weekend.
@@JenniferHollidayDreamgirl Your desire was fulfilled and then some! Thank you so much for this beautiful music offering. I look forward to an EP or even more singles with this classic RB/soul sound...👍🏾🙏🏾
For a moment I was transported back to the mid eighties when songs like this fueled by powerful vocals like hers . Led to many nights listening to FM soul radio, while slowly being drifted away to a distant dreamland.
Its 80's style quiet storm RB soul infused with today's production and sound! Jennifer's voice and interpretation of the song are par excellence...👍🏾😀🔥🎶
It's like no time has passed... she's sounds as breathtakingly phenomenal as ever. I was in the audience when she first stepped into the front of the audience and sang those words forever etched in our heart "...and I am telling you..."
Goodness, I probably would have had a divine shift or a heart attack or both to hear her sing that song live. Just four notes into a song her voice gives me those electric goosebumps that run across my shoulders and back of my neck, it only happens with the best of the best and I know that I am witnessing a profound gift.
@@ohthelovelypoems It truly was spiritual...Godsent and heartbreaking all at the same time. I never understood why she wasn't approached to be in the movie version..I recall reading an interview wherein she felt abandoned by those who were consultants... everyone but the real person who was the "standout" star in the Broadway show. Last I knew she was either working with a religious organization in their music consulting capacity. But, now it seems she's back where she belongs...The other Jennifer doesn't even look like herself anymore wearing freaky hair and clothes.
Thanks Maria! So glad that you were there forty years ago when I first performed in Dreamgirls and even happier that you are still a fan as I embark on this new journey in my career. Appreciate your support💕
@@JenniferHollidayDreamgirl Please post where you'll be appearing in the NYC area or in the surrounding boroughs. I live in Staten Island and we have a phenomenal Concert Hall located off Bay Street not far from the famous Staten Island Ferry's main dock. That concert Hall has seen the outstanding performances of noted artists like Paul Anka, the late Bobby Rydell, and others. It has an incredible sound system and acustics although with your voice I think you'd blow them out.. When I saw you in "Dream Girls" I was the Music Director for NBC'S then owned Radio Station "97 WYNY-FM" so attending concerts was a part of my responsibilities...as well as establishing a good working relationship with record company reps. It truly was a magical evening BUT...make no mistake here because it was "YOU" who brought the house down...standing a few seats from where you stood in the Aisle..up close you made Broadway history ...your performance.brought chills, tears and hands that were beat red from applauding besides standing ovations well earned. God Bless...keep 'em coming Jennifer. "Brake a Leg" my friend.
I just showed my high school music students this video and they immediately started streaming on all of their platforms! That is just proof that you are a timeless treasure! Jennifer I have followed you since Dream Girls '82. I have watched most of your interviews, RU-vid performances, Unsung...you name it I've seen it. I desperately tried to see you in The Color Purple on Broadway, but your understudy ended up performing instead. I was so disappointed you were not recognized in Dream Girls the movie. Nobody can deliver your signature song like you though many have tried....and are still trying which is amazing to me! Let me just say I am so proud of you and your survival story. The industry may have given you a licking but you kept on ticking. You are a great inspiration to me.
You sound like an awesome teacher, I commend you. I was just 19 when she sang Dream Girls in 82 and at that time this white boy thought there was no other voice like hers. She is a national treasure and needs to be preserved at all costs.
Hope to go back into the studio soon,Please help me put that dream out into the universe. Thank you for your love and support! Have a wonderful weekend♥️😘
Her voice is amazing and flawless. Jennifer looks so beautiful and amazing. God has his hands on her. She's a true legend. When they redone the play "Dreamgirls" I saw it in Atlanta, she left it all on the stage. I hope the industry give her the recognition she deserves while she's still here to see it. This is a great song for a wedding, if my partner and I get married this will be our song. Her and Stephanie Mills are my favorite female music artist.
Thanks Phillip! Sincerely appreciate your words of support and encouragement. Hope you and your partner enjoy listening to my new love song and may you have many more special moments together. Love you❤️😘
@@JenniferHollidayDreamgirl Thank for regifting the Spirit of R&B to us over and over again !!!! My childhood cries joyfully each and every time I hear a song from you. Welcome back !!!
@@JenniferHollidayDreamgirl you're welcome!!! you've earned and deserve it. You've paved the way for many many artists yesterday, today and tomorrow. Thanks, my partner and enjoyed the song together.
Ms. Holliday you are such a dream come true for the world of music . Thank you for sharing your gifts with us. The ancestors are smiling and swaying to this. Keep these gems coming. .. please. Ase'
Wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about this song, but this is the type of music I love. It’s great hearing music like this again. She sounds amazing.
Most artists of her time always try fit into the current music sphere when they come back to music and it looses us because it’s not who they are authentically but ma’am carries on right where she left off🥹and it sounds AMAZING
Lawdamercy ‼️ it's the particular anointed vocal ministry of Madam Jennifer Holliday can deliver in such a beautiful authentic powerful loving way. THANK YOU FOR STILL BEING ABLE TO BLESS US THIS WAY after all this time. YOU ARE A gifted vocalist and personality servant #Onpurpose
Alright now Alright , now thats talent , not just screaming but singing and singing from the soul, come on , come on its Beautiful music and Beautiful performance , yes yes Love it 💞💕💞💕💞💕💞💕💞💕💞💕💞
The amount of views that this amazing song has gathered is amazing. I first came across Ms. Holliday when I was 13, im now 18, and I am proud to call myself a fan of Ms. Holliday. This song is amazing and i love that youre bringing old school r&b back and staying true to your sound. Me and my family watchef you as Miss Teddy on the Maskef Singer and i knew the voice instantly. My 6 year old sister is now a fan and has asked about you everyday since watching the show and congrats on 1M views for "Im On Your Side". Love you Jennifer❤
Hello, Miss Holiday. I use to live in NYC and want to chase my dream of being a singer on Broadway, and you inspired me so bad. You have the most incredible voice I've ever heard. Your Dream girls performance touched me in a way I can't imagine. Hope to meet you one day and reach the top, just as you did. much love from Puerto Rico. Tony B.
Thank you so much! Still owe you an interview. Please email me,I’d be happy to do it next month so let’s schedule something. Take Care and Have A Wonderful Weekend❤️🧸😘
I clicked on the video simply because she was one of my favorite artist growing up not really expecting much of a vocal. BUT Ms ma’am sang the hell out of this song! Her voice sounds like she’s in her prime. Bravo 🫶🏾
Now This Generation X, Y, and Z isn’t familiar with this type of a gut-wrenching love song❣️🧐😂🤣🥰Thank you Jennifer for such a powerful delivery I’m crying my eyeballs out for such a beautiful song💝❤️💖😍🥰
Not Ms Holliday showing up on the scene to remind these gworls what real music sounds like. 🙌🤧👏👏👏 I love this! it's giving old school R&B vibe and that is top tier. 💫
I never knew that they would ever be a music thst would be created like this anymore! This song the only song that retrieve the peiced lost from today's music. We love you Queen ❤️
I just wish the great soul singers of the 80s will continue to give us great music like this. The younger generation's ears need to be blessed and cleansed with the soul, vocals, and class of the soul royalties.
First let me say how gorgeous Jennifer Holiday looks her voice is soothing, soulful, & strong. what is the definition of a living legend it’s Jennifer Holiday this woman deserves so much more recognition , she is admired by millions my dream one day is to meet her she is simply brilliant God bless you Jennifer on everything you continue to do
I tell you… this is really beautiful Jennifer Holliday still walking around here with that broadway “Dream Girls” voice. Welcome back Jen… don’t play with them. You, my dear are one of the baddest singers of all time, in my book!
rettabow, I totally agree! Jennifer is taking care of her voice like Gladys, Patti, & Barbara. So happy for her with this new song, and I hope it gets the airplay it deserves!
yes yes yes! We need the old school R and B and Soul Jams.. Whatever happened to music like this .. I miss the days of listening to Quiet Storm on the Radio late nite. What a voice
Ok...Let's talk about this for a moment: (1) the look!!!!!! This was an astounding look and it's one that screams inner peace, sophistication. Whomever put this look together did so strategically and it really captured the style and mood. (2) the song itself was something straight out of 70s-80s soul music when the field was relevant, and it reminds me of Allyson WIlliams "Just Call My Name" in terms of overall ambience, (3) the voice is very well balanced, and the belting notes are more restrained and it's very pleasant to the ear. The vocal gymnastics are nuanced, and this added to the overall value of the song. We all know that Jennifer can belt and growl mightily, but can she sing without it? The answer was and is a resounding YES AND THEN SOME! I much prefer her singing like this because I can hear the sheer beauty of her instrument. Honestly? She and others such as D'Atra Hicks, Chante Moore, etc. deserve to be back on R&B charts. Nothing against hip-hop, but it's time for this type of music to come back for it is sorely missed. I give this song and video ******* out of 5 stars!
She's always been able to sing without the growl! What are you even talking about? Jennifer is one of the greatest female vocalists of all time. She even put out a jazz album, "The Song Is You" around 2014🙄 so to reduce her to just growling is insulting. Her latest release is great and I hope it does well, because r&b desperately needs this because these girls today aren't delivering class, songs or vocals like this anymore.
@@feliciasanders2066 My critique of Ms. Holliday's performance of this original song was, in my opinion, spot on. I would like you to show me the comment to where I stated that she was not one of the greatest vocalists (regardless of gender) of all time. Yes, she growls in a lot her songs and live performances so this piece was really good to hear because as I have said: I got to hear what she can really do. Honestly? I don't find my statement about her belting and growling insulting at all. Each vocalist has mannerisms that he or she is prone to and it's a testament to her vocal maintenance that she still has her instrument intact. I even stated in my posting that this song is a big win for her and that she deserves her rightful place amongst R&B music along with artists such as D'Atra Hicks, Chante Moore, Miki Howard and the late greats Phyllis Hyman and Vesta Williams. Therefore, I do agree with you that the women, not girls, today aren't delivering class, songs or vocals like this anymore and it's one of the main reasons as to why R&B singing has given away to R&B hip hop. Don't you think that a much better question would be on how do we support artists such as Ms. Holliday and others who sing like this?
@@JenniferHollidayDreamgirl Is this really the queen? If so you are truly a beautiful person and soul! I love to hear you speak as well as sing! You are an individual and original in your demeanor and just your entire energy. You are owed so much respect for the way you carry yourself but I believe you do what you do for your own expression and passion, and not to please the world and that is why I absolutely love you so much!
AMERICA 🇺🇸 , WHY CAN'T WE AS A PEOPLE , COUNTRY AND NATION BE SO IN LOVE WITH ONE ANOTHER INSTEAD OF BELLIGERENT HATRED AND RACISM ACROSS THE BOARD BE IT GENDER , RACE , RELIGION , CULTURE AND THE BIGGIE POLITICS !!! HAVE U EVER WONDER HOW THESE NEGATIVE DISLIKES AND HATRED WORK OUT FOR U IN THE END 🤔 BEAUTIFUL SONG 🎵 EVEN IF IT'S MEANT FOR LOVERS BUT MANKIND WAS MEANT TO LOVE ❤️ ONE ANOTHER BUT JUST SCREWED IT UP ALONG THE WAY BECAUSE THE THREE MINIONS " CONTROL , GREED AND POWER " TOOK OVER !!!!
WOW 🤩 this is Sooo Fantastic! And you are more stunning today then when I met you so many years ago…. It was so amazing to have you as my surprise passenger on my flight from Miami-Lax…on your Birthday 🥳 🎁🎉…do you remember? I hope so 😄 was over 20 years ago ✈️ I’m still a flight attendant
Love is nothing but an Obsession, than you realize the person is nothing but what you want them to be. Wake up, Love ain't nothing but Trouble. Love Jesus and your Children. Walk 1000 miles, bye
I have always thought/expressed, that you are one of the most GOD gifted, beautiful, classy, greatest artist of all ⌚!!!!! The power, blend, unadulterated, strength of your vocal range, is absolutely incredible! You have endured the entertainment industry with tenacity, grace, eloquence, you are a jewel amongst your peers my sister, GOD, Bless you!!!!
Love it! Jennifer is one of the best singers and she has an original sound to her voice. I’d love to write a song for her. This song is perfect for her! I hope it reaches #1!
Please make more music like this. We need it simply put,You are one, if not the best vocalist of my generation. Your voice and your ability to sing with such beautiful feelings makes me appreciate our Generation evrn more. Please, please bring our generation and the curent generation music that they too can feel and connect with, i will always be a fan for ever,❤
Oh my God, I love this so much... I still have my "In The Mood" CD soundtrack from 1987 because of her rendition of it. It's perfection ❤ How did I miss this debut??
I watched you recently on The Masked Singer, and I was thrilled to see this video in my feed! Beautiful. Timeless. REAL music. Thank you for continuing to share your amazing gift with us!
This is really well done. Choreography is professional. Keyboards sound crisp, clean, beautiful. Costumes are appropriate and classy. Jennifer delivers this song with great lyrics, which we don't get that often these days.
New Subscriber here. Thank You Jennifer, this is a beautiful 🎵 song. I have always loved your music. I even enjoy listening to you sing with the Gospel Legends. I Pray continued Blessings for You. Blessings, Peace and Much Love 🤗🥰🙏✌️💖💖💖
First, after a long break, Diana Ross' stunningly beautiful, and inspirational album brought me so much joy. It still is with each play. Now my darling Jennifer is back. She blew this song out of the water! Beautiful, and sung perfectly. 2022 is a good music year for this old man. 😝🤣
I'm immediately transported back to the 80's. I've been listening to Ms. Holiday since I was a child and now, at 45 years old, she have entertained me with her beautiful style and grace. Today's generation can learn so much from this legend of letting your talent speak for you. She is still amazing and more incredible than she ever was and that voice......who can really replace her beautiful range?! Queen.....you better sing it!
WOW!!! Jennifer Jennifer Jennifer you iconic woman. Your light knocks me over!!! And then your incredible voice smacks me upside the head. Im done. God Bless.
I wasn't born back in those days when Jennifer came out to sing.... I'm 22 yrs old and still remember watching her broad way show.... and it brought my family together
I remember when i was listening to Whitney introduce her rendition "I am changing" - she introduced Jennifer Holiday. She wondered how she was going to be able to pay tribute to Jennifer and her extraordinary talent. And indeed Whitney was right: Jennifer is one of the greatest American female voices. What a comeback with this new piece of music - jazzy, soulful, sophisticated. Bravo Jennifer you did it again
Ms. Holliday, you got my Tears falling and for many reasons. And it's hard to choose for which reason out of them ALL. 'I've missed you', IS one of them. "COME BACK!"
Ms. Holliday, please submit “So In Love” for Grammy consideration in the Best Traditional R&B Performance category. The voters will eat this up and you’d get nominated.
@@TerrellSassLLC I know she’s a two-time Grammy winner, but both of those wins were nearly forty years ago. It’s time she won again! It would make for such a great comeback story for her!
Jenny ? You are there ? We love you !! So much ! Your music is strong , sexy and beautiful !!! We love you so much !!!!!! We are from Czech Republik !!!! We have a soul, a heart and understanding !!!! And most of all love !!!
After all these years she still has it. Jennifer Holliday can’t give Beyoncé the rest of his girls a run for their money. In my opinion Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there.
