Reacting to "And I'm Telling You" LIVE By Jennifer Holiday!!!! 

Jennifer is an Icon and no one can over rule her with his performance!

Can we acknowledge that here she is 21 years old?!

Nobody can match up with Jennifer Holliday - she’s anointed. Thank you for sharing your beautiful review with us

Jennifer Holiday Voice is Amazing.

I know people who actually saw her live on Broadway, neither knowing the other and they all said that her voice was so powerful, the whole theater was vibrating. They all said that people were crying uncontrollably, fainting and in the aisles like they were in church. My music teacher has heard some of the greatest voices to ever walk the planet and she said that she had seen Dreamgirls on Broadway 3 times and swear that there will be nobody who could sing this song like Jennifer Holiday. She was that mind blowing.

Great choice!!! Jennifer gave a legendary and iconic performance on stage...ever!!! I enjoyed this live, musical reaction from you!

The queen mother of one of the greatest songs of all time. You have to be a vocal beast to come close to what she's done.

She's a beast! No other way to describe her. Just got back from vacay & I'm in a fog. Wanted a cup of coffee & I could not remember how to operate the coffee machine. Listened to this right here & woke right up! Thank you for this & all you do. Putting in the hard work will get you to 5K in no time & we're all here for it.

This song is what made Jennifer. This song isn’t for the weak voices. You have to have a voice with weight to pull this off. I don’t know if you’ve seen it but there’s a beauty pageant contestant who attempts this and its….well let’s just say she should have chosen a song by maybe Doris Day. Very few people should attempt this song. It’s very vocally demanding.

I love your observation about the pacing. I was lucky enough to see this show on broadway almost 30 times, and the pacing was part of the magic. the lights would start to dim in the house. as it became totally dark that cowbell would strike up at that quick pace, the bass guitar would come in, then the lead guitar, a voice would introduce the stepp sisters at the talent show in the darkness, and LIGHTS UP! HERE WE GO! that cowbell tempo didn't stop until the curtain came down at the end of act one. There I was, catching my breath. And I was forever changed. Nothing lit my fire like that original production of DREAMGIRLS. That original cast vocally was fully on another level. EVERYBODY sang like a star. The Stepp Sisters, the two women who quit from jimmy early at the beginning Joanne and Charlene, Marty, Jimmy, Curtis, CC, of course all 3 women, plus Michelle, and on and on and on. there has never been anything like it. To this day, it is the greatest thing I have ever seen. It is the greatest experience I have ever had in the theatre. And I spent my life in the theatre. I used to joke to friends that whenever the lights would begin to go down for almost any other show I was at-i had to always fight my thoughts of "why isn't this DREAMGIRLS?" and I have seen so many magnificent things, I have been very lucky, but wowie wow-this show-this show. It defined what theatre could be for me. great reaction! thanks for posting!

HOLIDAY WAS THIS ORIGINAL OF THIS MASTERPIECE THIS IS HER SO NG

When she came with a crooked mouth you know she was getting ready to break it down. I love that performance. Girl, you blowing on that too.

Haha You’re Most Definitely A True Soprano. Love Your Pretty Voice

Congratulations on 4K!

I do t think she ever strained her voice back in the day. She can sing in beast mode all night
