She is great but this was HORRIBLE. I am mortified for her that this performance is stuck in history because of the Clintons. Otherwise we could have taken up a collection so it could be destroyed. You don't put a powerful voice in a small area with only a piano playing the opposite style that she was singing. Ugh!
I am not suggesting that she's not due her credit for making this song what it is....but there is a significant difference in her rendition now and her rendition 27 years ago!!!
The song is much slower, and you didn't notice that the arrangement is also very different which yes makes this rendition different. . . . but she still hit the high note wakes makes the song. So no matter what this is HER song, Jenifer Hudson did an amazing job when she sang it, but Jennifer Holiday will always own this song
What!!! Jennifer Holliday is one of our best vocalist of our time. People are so quick to hate and judge. She can hold her own with the best of them. Give HER the dues she deserves!!!!!!!
I'm sorry but some parts of that performance was pure comedy - yet she tried so hard to pull it off. Her voice is obviously and slowly deteriorating throughout the song. The song is obviously out of her range, she should've sung it at a different key. Fortunately she does this now.
If you listen you will hear that she had a head cold during this performance. It happens to the best of them. But she loved Bill so much she still performed.

What happened to her voice? She sounds like she's struggling. I don't think it's age at all. Well, not mostly. I think she just haven't been singing regularly. Maybe she needed a better warm up. I don't know, but I'd surely like to see the Atlantic City performance people have been raving about.
She was holding back out of respect for the President. Trust me, she is still highly capable of belting out those notes, and she hasn't lost a single note. Just watch her performance in Dreamgirls from Atlantic City, 2007.
I'm sure her voice is a little worn after all these years. Moreover, she was singing for President Clinton and his stuffy constituents: I don't think they'd understand or appreciate the wailing and grunting like normal foke do...
Hudson can't hold the same note with as much power like Holiday can, especially at the end of the song and the long note towards the end of the song, Holiday is better,but I like J hud version also she has a powerful voice but can't compare to Holiday.
great song !!! it is great !!! I really feel smth after hearing this song !!!

LOL that part at the end. 'Ah! Ah! Ah! Ahhhh!" - it was like, because she was sick, she was saying; 'Please get me off of this stage, I'm dying!'

Jennifer did okay. That song is a very difficult song to sing.
No singer is going to be 100% every night. We singers are human and we deal with human things like: sore/hoarse throat, colds, mucus, stress, etc.
Do not be so quick to make negative comments when you don't know what's going on.
