Just watched Jennifer belt out her song on tv here in California. She's still singing "And I'm Telling You"....she is still her crazy self. But honey, get another song.

Now she's singing "love can move mountains."

It's not just a matter of her getting another song. No one wants to hear her sing anything else.

Well, I guess that's true. :)

I guess that explains why she is still singing it. I am kind of surprised she is after all the movie drama, but if that's all she has.....

"But honey, get another song. "

Why should she?

I think I agree with Paljoey. I'm just not sure what he meant by "why should she?"

If he meant that if Jennifer did nothing else in her life to match "And I Am Telling You," it's still an incredible achievement, then I agree.

Also, if people here remember Aly McBeal, Jennifer Holiday had several guest spots and she was a pretty good actress. She also did a great job with "Political Science" and "Short People."

Oh, yea! All of her whining got her a gig.


I'm sure we'll be hearing more.

I asked Patti LuPone one time if she ever got tired of singing "Don't Cry For Me, Argentina," and she said, "No, because that's what they want to hear."

We are just creatures of habit.

And then of course there was the drunken female fan who cornered Judy Garland in a ladies' room and said over and over, "Oh, Judy, I just know you'll make it over that rainbow someday. I just know it. You've had a hard time, but don't lose hope because there's that RAINBOW waiting for you and one of these days, you're gonna make it OVER that rainbow and when you do--"

Finally, Garland summond up the nerve to push by the drunken fan, pausing only to say, "Listen, lady. I've got rainbows up my ASS."

Did that reall happen, PalJoey? It sounds like an urban legend.

If that story came out of Judy, I'd take it with a grain of salt. She had a habit of exaggerating and telling tall tales.

SM2, what did your parents tell you about speaking ill of the dead? And a legend too!

I have NEVER met Cheyenne Jackson. I have never hung out with him in his dressing room, he did not tweet me, he never bought me a beverage, and he mostly certainly didn't tickle me. . .that is all.

My parents didn't tell me nuttin'!

Legends can be liars, too, you know.

This it true. Wait! I take that back. I cannot get caught insulting Judy again. I'm due a whopin' for saying that Audra's version of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" was the best I'd ever heard.
