Jennifer Holliday wants to tell all of you that she is not going (x)

Sing, bitch!

Everyone makes fun of the faces she makes, but you have to consider that she did this song on a Broadway stage where she had to convey her emotion to the very last row of audience members.

30 years later, you can still feel Effie White’s pain when you see her sing this.

Oh, Jessica, Jennie is schooling you. Go sit down somewhere. 

Broadway legend and the original Effie White from the first Broadway production of Dreamgirls belting out “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going” alongside a contestant from American Idol. No one will ever, ever, EVER do this song like Jennifer Holliday.


you can say what you want, i’m not walking out

you can say what you want, i’m not walking out

mistertheatre:

I got to see her perform this role and this song in Pittsburgh.
She stopped the show multiple times.
Amazing.

Holy. Fucking. Shit. 

Jennifer Hudson who? 

Moya Angela is queen of Effie White.
