There are less than 5 people in the history of this planet who have ever sang this well. There's Jennifer Holliday, Martha Wash, Aretha Franklin ( in her youth, on Columbia), and Alex Newell. God rarely grants a voice like this.

@CraiginOhioUSAАй бұрын
@@alwaysforeign4342 No, no. Jennifer Holliday. Not Hudson. Jennifer Hudson was just a Jennifer Holliday impersonator- but lacking the vocal power of the real thing. Hudson started on that TV talent contest, and ended up getting the film role in Dreamgirls which was originally created on Broadway by Jennifer Holliday in 1981. My goodness...Hudson isn't awful, but she is nowhere near Holliday.
Don’t forget Whitney Houston at many of her concerts in 1986 😉

EXACTLY ...! I would travel across the country to see Alex starring in Dreamgirls! And....the film version was off, somehow. Beyonce is just kind of a blank space, and Hudson didn't have the emotional depth for it. The film should be redone, with better casting. Alex would be groundbreaking as Effie White. And they need to write a role for Jennifer Holliday, with a new song for her. The world still doesn't have a satisfying Dreamgirls film. Let's try again.
@ah.nao.daniloАй бұрын
@CraiginOhioUSA I couldn't disagree more about the movie. Beyonce was not the greatest, that's true. But Jennifer was absolutely incredible in the role. She reinvented Effie and won an Oscar for it.
