Posted: 6/21/05 at 1:21pmHas anyone else noticed that when people sing that song it always comes out as And I Am Telling You AAAAAM not going? Like "am" instead of "I'm.

Posted: 6/21/05 at 1:34pmIn an extended note, the "aaaah" sound is more natural than the "eye" pronunciation.

Posted: 6/21/05 at 1:40pmYea I know but it wasn't "Ahhh" as in "alright", they sang it "Aaaaa" as in "Angela" or "Ant". It was weird.

Posted: 6/21/05 at 7:25pmMy choir director always discourages us from singing "I" as "I" because it comes out "IIIAAAEEEE." Say it and feel how much it lifts your jaw and narrows your palate, pushing everything to the front of your mouth. If you drop your jaw, it comes out more "AHHH." It's still understood, but sounds better.

Posted: 6/21/05 at 7:29pmI have seen the original b-way production (lalalaon videodlalala) and it doesn't matter how she sings it--because she saaaaaaaaangs it!

Posted: 6/21/05 at 7:30pmIt definitely sounds better. When I think of someone singing it without that pronunciation, I mentally hear someone doing it opera-style, overenunciating everything.
