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'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.”
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.
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.
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..
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.
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
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
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!

Beauty For Ashes I love your response. I would have thrown something at her. Lord have mercy !!! That is almost too much. The lord is in that woman 's voice !! Amen!!
Jennifer Holliday is one of my favorite singers of all time. Her voice and range is simply staggering. The first time I ever heard her was in January 1982 on Saturday Night Live where she was the musical guest. She had me hooked immediately. She played Effie in the Broadway musical "Dreamgirls" which featured her singing "And I'm Telling You". This lady gives me goosebumps every time I hear her sing. This rendition of "His Eye is on the Sparrow" was from an HBO special and is an incredible performance. What a talented and underappreciated voice.
Once a lifetime we are encountered with someone who has a vocal ability to shake walls, rock floors, and send every nerve in your spine tingling. Jennifer Holliday is that once in a lifetime vocalist. From her roots in Black gospel to her multi platinum recording career for R&B radio, to her extensive Broadway performances you are witnessing just a moment of that here in this video. And no other time than with this Corona crisis does this song fit in uplifting us and reminding us that He really does have his eye on the sparrow. God bless everyone.
I agree,I think only a few can take on Jennifer vocally sat like Patti Labelle and Yolanda Adams.Jennifer is definitely one of the best of all time.❤❤❤
Jennifer Holliday is one of my favorite singers met her when she was 19 when she was in your arms too short to box with God very powerful voice she squalls like a Baptist minister God surely touched her voice love love love
When I feel down or lost, I listen to this, and remember he watches over me. Jennifer Holliday one of the best power voices of all time! You can feel her faith flow through her singing.
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
I love hearing her sing she puts her heart into every note she's looking good she has a story to tell and she is here to tell it .I'm so proud of her.keep your eye on the sparrow baby because he watches over you.
@Peacock Feathers amen He sure Does He will have too answer too God 1 day..He Blasphemed about God Thats an unforgivable sin. God Bless this Guy..He know not what he said..Thats why he's alive by God's Grace..He needs prayer. He will stand before the judgement seat of christ..And he will give an account of what he said..Remember every knee will Bow and every tongue shall confess confess..Thats what God saod He will be sorry at That Day..
The pianist is great too! What musicality without flash! Wonderful duo. Oh, Jennifer, thank you for this shower of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Gotta go, here comes the choir! Don't want to miss a thang!
@@brandonplays702 I think gospel singers have that license, don't they? Edwin doesn't have any problems going with the spirit, does he? Just a thought.
The words truly speak for there self yes thank you this lady sounds so amazing thank u Jesus yes yes yes I cried many tears !! Yez God is good I want too tell someone and everyone all over the world listen to this powerful voice and receive the amazing Blessing and what ever you are going threw and how every u feel trust me u will sing !!@ God is good!!@
No matter what anyone on youtube says, Jennifer is a master interpreter of songs. No matter how many degress or diplomas one might have, she has SOUL, the THING THAT CAN'T BE TAUGHT!!!! When she sings something supernatural happens that is indescribable. That's why she cast such a legendary spell on her broadway audiences during her infamous And I'm Telling You curtain.
Not one sparrow falls to the ground without Jesus knowing it: Don't be afraid: you are worth more than many sparrows. Matthew 10:29,31. This lady gives this song , sung by so many the power and strength the lyrics call for...glorious compelling tonality: Praise God !!!
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
Jennifer Holliday is the true Gospel, she sangs from the depth of her soul. She sangs with true anointing. God has anointed and appointed her like no other. 🙏🏽❤🎵💯😇🎙👸🏽🙌🏽❤🎵💯
This is why Im a fan....nobody can do what she can.......I am exited when she growls and like screeming.... Very powerful....enjoy watching her performances
Had to come back and hear this "underrated", but gifted and anointed singer. The Master has graced her with such a beautiful gift. Let's have some church!
When you know, that you know, that you know, that you know to whom you are in Jesus n to whom you belong n All Jesus thats He's Done For You At Calvary n allow the Holy Spirit To have It's Way there's nothing but it to flow from heart to hear n breast to breast n kingdom build!
