Jennifer Holliday-And I Am Telling You(Live in Texas)

Here's Jennifer Holliday winning over a tough crowd in Texas in 1986(?)(They really didn't know who she was...it was A Texas Celebration she was there because she hails from Houston))She came out to scant applause for her first song(not shown here) and then sang And I Am Telling You (I'm Not Going)....by the time she took in that last big gulp of air for the last note there were already patches of standing o's. Really a great performance!!~

It has nothing to do with being fat you silly. One voice used for forty years it is bound to change a little. Jen on your worst day is better than nearly every singer on the scene today. Thanks so much for the post!

It should've been made illegal for anyone else to record this song. Jennifer Holliday owns this song. No one else does it justice.

[CharlesBarry]

You know why every singer TRYS to sing this song like M.s. Holliday ! BECAUSE M.S. HOLLIDAY SINGS IT BEST !!!

[BlazedHearts]

Guys, she's amazing yes. But it's dumb to say "shouldve been made illegal for anyone else to record". Jen Hudson did and she did AMAZING. You can argue it didnt beat the original but ITS NOT FUCKING SUPPOSED TO. She did her OWN cover, she didnt intend to make some contest between the two singers.
