And I’m telling you
I’m a bit obsessed with the song “And I’m telling you (I’m not going)” by Jennifer Holliday at the moment. It was from the Dreamgirls show back in 80 something and then made famous again when the film version came out, with Jennifer Hudson (of American Idol fame) played the part of Effie. I started checking out youtube for different versions of it and its not an easy song to sing. Here’s some of the best of what I’ve found (all live performances):
the jennifer holliday original
jennifer holliday again, but looking a little different
jennifer hudson
the filipina divas (Regine Velasquez (in a long, bright yellow gown), Sarah Geronimo, Sheryn Regis, and Kyla)
regine velasquez by herself
Von Smith (a guy)
can’t forget little bianca ryan (11 yrs old at the time)
whitney houston (pre-drugs)
jasmine trias (from american idol 1 think)
Sara Niemietz
Sara Niemietz (at age 10)
that’s probably enough…for now

Yep. All of the same song! I could have put a few more, but that would just be ridiculous…
