Ugh. Her singing is fantastic but I HATE this performance. Her style doesn't fit this. You don't mess with songs like this. She made the chorus sound sloppy.
oh my god.... i just realised all the films this woman is in LOL she's one of my favorite black actresses i never knew she could sing like this! i'de heard her before but i didnt know she was who she was..if that makes sense lol amazxing voice loved her in whats love got to do with it
Happy to announce my next big adventure as MOTORMOUTH MABELLE in HAIRSPRAY video clips will be posted after our August run! thx for sharing this clip!!
It drove me nuts listening to this with her timing so far off from how the song is written even though the tone of her voice is nice in parts overall I give it a thumbs down... sorry I really wanted to like it... :(
WHOA. I guess she just feels she doesn't need to follow the counting that's written in her part? As a violinist playing in the pit orchestra of a production of hairspray, I'd personally be freaking the HELL out, seeing as to the orchestra is always a chord ahead of her because of her strange freestyle.
i saw jennifer in this production last summer and she killed it. this is nothing compared to seeing it in person. and i met her after and she's madd cool and seems sweet.
I had the good fortune of seeing Jennifer Lewis do this live in Hairspray in New York on Broadway. Seeing her do it live was even better than listening to this recording because visually she brought all of her acting skills to the performance too.
I've seen the show twice, but not with her in it. Damn, I didn't know Jennifer can sing, she's incredible with that song. She gives every actress who played Maybelle a run for their money.

yes, she was going to be maybelle before mary bond davis came into the picture, personally i think Jenifer is better than Mary
