Award Show Performance
Oscars 2013: Jennifer Hudson Is Really Not Going
That dramatic intro to that famous song gets our hearts racing every time. You’re almost expecting an imperfection from whoever sings it because so few get it right after the famous voice of the original Effie White, Jennifer Holiday. However, the incomparable Jennifer Hudson proves time and time again why she was chosen to play Effie White in the movie musical adaption and won the Academy Award for her performance in the ever so famous Dreamgirls. Her performance garnered her a standing ovation unmatched from any other performance. The new castmate on NBC’s SMASH and star of the upcoming film Black Nativity made those original Dreamgirls and countless musical fans, and music fans in general, very happy.
AND THE PEOPLE WENT WILD!!!
