Jennifer Holliday - And I'm Telling You - also from Dreamgirls. Saw her perform this twice on Broadway when the show first opened. She brought down the house. Standing ovation lasted for minutes....
yeah just like ms hudson. its the role that made her a star...
Lil bit of trivia - that song was the last song before the Dreamgirls' intermission. In the original script, Effie committed suicide and never showed up in the second half of the show. A week before most shows officially open on Broadway they have a test run of sorts - and sometimes they ask for the audience opinions. People loved Holliday's performance so much and were so angered/upset about Effie's death that the producers re-wrote the script to keep Holliday in... she ended up winning a Tony for her performance too.
didnt know that...
