Jennifer Holiday - Arista Special

Jennifer Holiday out does herself in this performance from Arista Special "And Iam Telling You I'm Not Going"

[@jamm210]

One small woman in such a big big stage with a massive crowd and yet she manages to take down the stage and make everyone weak in the knees!! amazing

[@jimdavis081]

She's one of a kind. Thanks God she was born.

[@shortbutsweet25]

I have watched this video so many times, and all I can say is this woman has one of the most powerful voices in history. I love her voice so much, ultimate superstar. No one has ever touched her voice, and never will.

[@Xs120]

I was fortunate to be in the audience at Radio City Music Hall the night she sang this at this 1990 Arista special. It was the best live performance I have ever seen and the audience stood and cheered for minutes. Thanks for the memory, Jennifer. You were terrific!

[@FullmetalFury]

Whoo....I almost got a seizure listening to her voice. It's LITERALLY angelic. Awesomeness manifested.

[@glmalvar]

She actually held back some for this performance. But oh man... I am still baffled at how this kind of MAGNIFICENCE can come out of one human being!

[@manuelorozco7760]

What an emotional performance Jennifer gave out! Her dedication to Michael Bennet was touching

[@quincyblue5998]

OMG, This performance was nothing but STELLAR, so much passion & emotion. man i wish i was in that audience. That was a true dedication. RIP Michael Bennet.

[@joseph9531]

Epic and untouched, chai!

[@eightie2]

I have NEVER...seen anybody put so much energy and emotion into a song before! Amazing. gave me goosebumps.

[@bbeyonce07]

I am nineteen and I appreciate a timeless singer like Jennifer Holiday...THIS IS THE BEST LIVE PERFORMANCE I HAVE EVER HEARD!

[@ladytaz39]

Her voice is so POWERFUL. You can actually feel what she's singing. WOW, chills.

[@lill2441]

[@shugahlicious]

[@DJMichaelAngelo]

DAYUM!!! now THAT is some theatrical singing :o beautiful

[@Joemnc]

I saw Ms. Holiday on American Idol and she still has the voice.

[@jmabreu1955]

I was 52 years old when I gave my opinion on this monstrosity of music, I'm currently 69 years old and I'm listening again with a redoubled emotion, adding the voice of the monstrous "Jennifer Holiday", a truly hecatomb in the history of music, being one of the most difficult songs to be written. sing of all times. Merry Christmas to Everyone. Dec 2024 😍💯🙏🎅🌲🎅😍

[@wfreeman08]

I could see this video a million times and would still get chills!

[@donta49001]

"You're gonna looooOOOOOOHHHHHOOOOve HUH, MEEEAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Just thought I'd try to write it because I damn sure couldn't sing it. She is NO JOKE!! Love it! Love it! LOVE IT!!!

[@Maneater1984]

Hands down one of the most amazing and heart wrenching performances I have ever had the pleasure of viewing.

[@ehaqim]

Soulful! Full of emotions! Attitude! Her trademark for this song! Its not only about hitting hi-notes, she delivered the song well. BRILLIANT!!!

[@michaelwilliam]

One of the most amazing live performances ever filmed...damn that was hot!!!

[@makyeebon]

[@Franfuego]

She's probably one of the most talented vocalists of this era. God bleesed her with that awesome voice! Amazing!

[@phillymood2]

I was at this show...unbelievable. I had NO idea who Jennifer even was but I am telling you I was the first one up for her standing ovation!

[@latiaj81]

She is amazing one of the best performances Ive seen

[@James13205]

God blessed this women with rare talent and no one will ever ... out do the original Jennifer Holiday... And I wish Jennifer Hudson all the best.... but a classic can only be remade not create.

[@viiva89]

the best voice i have ever heard, hands down

[@godsgifttoearth]

Damn Jennifer and Whitney on the same stage this night, Whitney tore up the GLOA... They both knew they had to BRING IT !!!

[@enchantedviolin6869]

Unbelievable .. Im' speechless

[@muhamadatia891]

Whenever I listen to this passage ... I can not keep myself from crying

[@harmonylight1]

Awesome, outstanding, everything in this category. Thats what you call true talent and sadly i don't believe she has ever been given the credit she deserved. Hardly anyone these days sings with that level of true emotion. God love and bless her!

[@djthimo]

She has the most impressive and powerful voiçe i had ever heard in my life!!!Simply incredible her performançe.

[@spaghettilife]

The best performance I have seen of this song. It was truly wonderful.

[@EveLUVSAdam]

There is no comparing when it comes to Jennifer Holiday,as she is the best/original at singing this song. "TWO THUMBS UP TO YOU JENNIFER".....you don`t have to make a fuss to know that you got it honey!!!!! You`re in a classy class all by yourself and I love your voice.

[@verbaldoodle]

No one...AND I MEAN NO ONE...can sing this song like Jennifer. All artists who have sung this song after Jennifer without a doubt concede that she is in a class by herself. AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@danielmolinares]

Excellent, is a the best voice on the world........ufff is very power on your voice.

[@LuizPagan]

A magnificant R&B Aria!

[@Stannorton]

I had the great fortune of seeing Holiday's raw & devastating performance during its first week and the audience was actually shouting out because it just ripped your heart out. Here's what Frank Rich said : "WHEN Broadway history is being made, you can feel it. What you feel is a seismic emotional jolt that sends the audience, as one, right out of its wits... Broadway history was made at the end of the first act of Michael Bennett's beautiful and heartbreaking new musical, ''Dreamgirls.''

[@1Oligopoly]

UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!

[@JerjerB]

i love love love love love love love love love love love it!

[@Mangano75]

This is baroque! amazing... ("Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you." The intro with the meloncholy music 1930a movie music is the best part.)

[@trentnjones]

Best performance of this song ever.
