Jennifer Holiday's expressiions are what makes her performance of the song exciting. IIt will put you on the edge of your seat. She puts her whole heart, soul and body into her singing.and portrayal of the character. That is why, although I love Jennifer Hudson, Hudson can't be compared to Holiday. Jennifer Hudson has an amazing voice and she has gotten beautiful, become a better singer and more professional since American Idol. She has a whole career ahead of her. Love both ladies!
As if this matters, I am a white woman who only wishes she could sing like either one of these beautiful ladies. As far as the comments about the facial expressions: they are because the talent and music is real, not some computer generated lip sync thing because you have all the right dance moves. Hopefully the music industry will try to focus on real talent like it did years ago and then I will begin to purchase rather than listen to the real talent I own already.
That will always be Jennifer Holidays song NOBODY can sing it like her, she's the reason that song is where it is today. Jennifer Hudson, being the incredible singer she is, gave it justice (which too many people CANNOT do) Both women are awesome but "I'm telling you now" will always belong to Jennifer HOLIDAY ;)
Who the hell are the people making those comments that have nothing to do with singing ability? I hope they don't think they're music critics. I saw the movie Dreamgirls and thought it was good but just saw a clip of Holliday's 1982 performance on Youtube and it blew me away!
Why would they pit these two together? JHoll 's song, ok? JHud ain't grown enough to sing this song yet!!! And these punk-ass kids critiquing? Gimme a major break-- most of them were being breastfed by their mammys!!!
THIS WAS NOT MEANT TO BE A COMPETITION. JENNIFER HUDSON WAS PAYING HOMAGE TO JENNIFER HOLLIDAY. IT IS NOT A MATTER OF WHO WON. JENNIFER HUDSON ASKED HER IDOL TO SING WITH HER AND JENNIFER HOLLIDAY BEING THE GRACIOUS LADY THAT SHE IS ACCEPTED.
as much as i LOVE hudson, Holliday did this song justice, Its not a pretty song about love and being happy, its a raw and emotional, and as much as Hudsons movie role was actually quite good, i feel like this song fell so flat for me, i didnt feel the emotion off her but Holliday brings that emotion and gives you no choise but to feel it, hard.
Holliday blew hudson of that stage holliday is the best at that song as always will be critcs need to step the game up or get there hearing checked she did come up like hoe dis my song which i owuld have done myself lol holliday gets m vote all day and everyday
Jennifer Holliday is the BEST! Hudson got the Oscar, but Holliday got the Tony AND the Grammy for this song It's her signature song and her facial expressions are her trademark. That's the same way she delivered the song DURING the Broadway performances - Love her to bits. Hudson is good but when it comes to Soulful singing, Holliday takes the cake!
I am with the new school generation and i have heard many people sing and i am telling you and i still don't think anyone has come close to holiday, not even hudson. the only competition that holiday has when it comes to singing this song is her self! it will always be hers and hers alone!
bloody STUPID criticism of Holiday - lets see one of these bollocky bitches try to keep a str8 face while belting out the kind of chords Holiday produces. Get a life critics
Holdiay - she sings with expression , the song is originally supposed to be sang with SADNESS AND ANGER she dosent just made mad face expressions , but you can HEAR the MADNESS and ANGER and SADNESS in her voice! thats what makes her songs amazing!
FUCK hannah montana , selena gomez , and demi la fucking VACA
Ok Musicnick, you know sh!t. How many times are you going to repeat Constipation, Constipation....And it is weeks later and stil. Go around the house and ask you mom and dad if they need help cutting the grass, bringing in the groceries. It'll give you a break from sitting infront of the computer.
jennifer holiday voice aint wat it used 2 b and datz prolly y she wuz growlin alot but otha dan dat and da crazy faces & body movementz i think it wuz raw but hudson got dat 1 doe
Jennifer wins! Her facial expressions let you know that she is into the song not just singing it check out Jennifer singing his eye is on the sparrow that will stop bet's negative comments on Jennifer's facial expressions she brings you right into her songs with her. "Go Jennifer!"
And by the way, why is BET broadcasting degrading comments like these about a talented person? We have plenty of sources for ridicule and degredation of all minorities in our society as is. Shouldn't BET's mission be to encourage and lift the people?
You have to consider the back ground. Holliday is from the STAGE! Have any of these 'critics' seen a performance? Hudson is too new. She does not have the depth of experience that Holliday brings. How can you even compare the copy to the original? Holliday stands on a pilar apart in time and his history.
Why are people criticizing Holiday's facial expressions and dramatic performance? Have they not seen Patti LaBelle? She does the same thing and is highly respected. It's called "Soul" folks, it's feeling and acting the song to the very depths of your soul - the hell with how you look doing it. Everybody isn't into appearances, they are into giving their all, not hold anything back to look "cute". I loved Holliday, and Hudson in this performance - but as to who won me over - Holliday!
@rutiaka you ain't never lied about her and Patti's facial expressions. that's one of the things I really love about women like Patti and Jennifer Holiday, is their facial expressions because you know they're really feeling it and giving it their all even with their emotions. for some reason, it just gives me goosebumps when they "fix" their faces up like that. Whitney Houston does it in her own way, Jennifer Hudson, Monica, Fantasia, Yolanday Adams, The Clark(e) Sisters, Shirley Ceasar....
Miss Holliday probably might look funny here and there while performing, okey. But maybe there is no bigger voice out there for the last 20 or so years, who even can compete with here magnificent voice!
And by the way, who's that little ugly piece of shit in the video; without even the slightest idea of music-history, talking in that kind of way about Miss Holliday? I do understand that your balls start to shrink imediately whit a powerful woman near by you; go on & check pricetags at Walmart!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Im sorry Holliday used to have it but she no longer does...not very many artists with natural ability need to do all of that flailing and all of the faces...perhaps her years on broadway cause her to perform that song each time like shes in charcter but there is still the fact that it seems as though she cannot sing without ridiculous body movements...she doesnt have the voice anymore...sad but true
@Theonlygermaine Grow some fucking ears!!!!! Her quality has diminished greatly...she spends half the time gasping for air instead of singing and her tone and pitch are all off....you obvisouly dont know SHIT about vocal music
that black guy at 0:58 ignorant is ignorant
