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

[@igotyourback9175]

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.

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

Agreed!

Jennifer Holiday Voice is Amazing.

[@AlexisSamone]

No question about that, darling!🔥🔥

[@callasladivina]

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

[@AlexisSamone]

I had no idea!

[@callasladivina]

@@AlexisSamone I know, it's unbelievable! To do what she did, that young. Every time I am watching this performance, I think of what I was doing when I was 21. :) Jokes aside, she had set the ultimate standard for generations of singers to try to follow, and she was a girl. What a powerhouse. And yes, it is true, she is so sweet and humble. I am utterly happy that I had a chance to meet her and listen to her live. Long live Jennifer!

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

[@igotyourback9175]

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.

[@Qu33n]

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

[@AlexisSamone]

Ah man! What a joy this was to sit and watch! Thanks for suggesting it because I got my entire life watching her tell this story like no one else could have!

[@Vallentina0325]

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.

[@AlexisSamone]

Hey Val! So glad to hear you’re back! How was vacay?😍 but yes, very much beast at every song she touches but especially this!

[@Vallentina0325]

@@AlexisSamone It went well. Met some amazing people but now I'm all in my feelings. Ngl, that well of loneliness encompasses everything & touches every aspect of your life. Glad, I came home to this.

@@Vallentina0325 awe I know how it can be, especially when I’m on the road a lot but just know you can come over to this side and we can relish in these amazing vocals together!

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.

[@AlexisSamone]

Ha no, I haven’t but I shall look it up. It is definitely a song for the seasoned singers who know how to navigate their voices and even more, know how to story tell! Vocal stamina on this song is mad crazy

[@tamyragraypromotions1678]

The song (as well as the character Effie) jennifer Holliday (with the help of Jennifer Lawrence) CREATED the character. And the song itself was literally built around her voice. So she is literally the staple of the song because the song is her.

[@nesq4104]

@@tamyragraypromotions1678 that's the truth. People often don't know the back story and it needs to be documented somehow so she is not written out in the future

[@tamyragraypromotions1678]

@@nesq4104 I am a fighter for the underdog and even more so for the forgotten one who makes it incredibly easy for the next one to get all the praise and glory even tho they opened all the doors (hence my "hate" to most Internet gangsters about about Jhud in comparing tamyra (for example).

[@nesq4104]

@@tamyragraypromotions1678 people compare for the wrong reasons and no real criteria. I'm always fighting people online who compare singers to patti labelle saying they are better yet use videos of her singing in her 60s and 70s against some singer in their 30s or so. It's so laughable. They would never use anything from 55 and younger. Lol. And also wrong voice type comparisons and singing styles. I feel current generation is about instant gratification and hands out titles to anyone, plus is poor in research. But to your point on Jennifer Holliday basically creating Effie, I only learned this the past few Years from a jennifer holliday interview yet I not sure if I can even find any major article on dreamgirls giving her that credit. That's why I fear she can be erased from its history and why she's still publicly fighting for the acknowledgement. It's always told that it's based on the Supreme and Florence Ballard.

[@nesq4104]

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

[@AlexisSamone]

Right! I believe it. When she did “strain”, it was always a vocal choice like when she squeezes her vocal folds to get out a begging type of sound. Magical🤩

[@nesq4104]

@@AlexisSamone yea. Anyone else except a few singers particularly gospel voice would be destroyed. I try it and my throat is devastated all day

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.
