Voice Teacher Analyzes JENNIFER HOLLIDAY x AND I AM TELLING YOU from DREAMGIRLS (TONY AWARDS)

She sang this eight times a week. On Broadway. She was only 22 years old!

She sang that song like she had her heart broken back stage in real life and meant every word she sang.

Imo she IS TEXTBOOK for dramatic/broadway stage singing. Everyone who wants to do broadway/stage should be required to study her.

Lawd have mercy.......Jennifer Hudson and many others were amazing but nobody slayed like Jennifer Holliday.

It's almost impossible to explain how her amazing blend of drama, musicality, articulation and sound manipulation simply works, but it does! Unsurprisingly, she's not for everyone. You either feel it deeply or you think it's too much...I'm definitely sold every single time I watch this! UNMATCHED.

My parents saw Dreamgirls on Broadway. They said Jennifer sang the song so well that the crowd cheered so loud at the end of the song that Jennifer had to sing the song twice!

The thing thats so amazing is this is a live performance and it OFTEN goes unnoticed. This required the whole body to embody the character. There's no comparison, this set the bar for all who came after.

Excellent Analysis. You reaffirmed that she was performing at a masterful level of singing. She gave her self away to this character and utilized such distinguished skill to deliver what is easily the most incredible performance of this song, and one of the most powerful contemporary vocal performances in recorded history. You have to really know music and the art of singing to truly appreciate this performance and Ms. Holliday’s vocal prowess. I’ve loved her since I discovered her in 2007 at around 14 years old and was blown away by this exact performance. Amazing analysis. What a treat.

She sang that from her shondo😂🎤🗣️ and I don't understand how that man is just standing there without crying or shouting 🤷🏾 I guess that's good acting. And Jaron's animation is perfection

I cried my eyes out the first time I heard this song. There's so much heartbreak and desperation in this song and they way she delivers it. PERFECTION!

You had me crying laughing through this whole video I know you were being serious but your impression of her was spot on 😂😂😂😂🤣

You have no choice but to feel her sing.

The faces they both make are quite entertaining😂

It’s crazy how few people will analyze this performance. It’s one of the best you’ll find anywhere.

The biting 😂😂😂💀💀💀 this video had me cackling. I need more jennifer and Rochelle reviews

This performance gave me chills!!!! Can’t nobody sing this like Ms. Jennifer Holiday 🥶

Did you see Jennifer Holiday sing Rough Side of the Mountain at the conclusion of Aretha’s Franklin’s 7 hour funeral? The choir was exhausted but Jennifer squeezed the last drop of vocal energy out of them as she led their chant, “Higher and higher.”

There has never ever ever ever ever never been a vocalist as strong and powerful as this. Never ever ever never.

When you click 'Like' before you even watch the video.

The way she growls at the top of her range gets me quickening every time…whew!!!!
