Miss Jennifer Holiday

you have probably heard a horrible rendition of this song about 4 million times before on shows like american idol, etc. but i promise none of those squeaky, heartless attempts come close the powerful voice of Jennifer Holiday, the person who originated the role and legendary performance in Dreamgirls.

Another Jennifer (and ironically, its Jennifer Hudson from American Idol fame) is taking a wack at it in the new version and rumor has it that she did an amazing job.

i know its long, but try to watch this video all the way through so that you can catch the last five seconds. holiday practically sucks in the first three rows of the audience with her last gasp of breath to belt out the final lyrics. its genious.
