AudreyTwoTwo:

You probably only have the old Geffin CD release of the OBC (mine had a horrible glitch in it, and would skip "Steppin to the Bad Side", and mess up the breaks if I wanted to go forward a track or back).

You really need to find the newer 2-CD version released by Decca Broadway. It adds three songs that were not on the original release (or the LP), including the "It's All Over" sequence that leads up to "And I Am Telling You".

That, and the Tony performance actually is shortened (though it still is an amazing 8 minutes). It cuts out all of Michelle's parts, but they are in the CD version.

Oh man! Okay, I should find that. Is that the one they sell now for the OBC or are both still available? Because I'm dumb enough to purchase the one I already own.

Does anyone remember the video that was posted on BWW of Jennifer Hudson helping with a high school production of the show around the time the movie came out? The Effie in the show had quite a good voice. Does anyone know if the video is still on here somewhere or if the girl who played Effie is still doing theater?

Has there been ANY news or talk on a recording with the national tour cast? I know it was announced, but I don't know if they ever had time to go to the recording studio or whatever. I listen to both the OBC and the film soundtrack the most. I like the movie musical soundtracks, though, because most of the time they are recorded with bigger orchestras that really make the score sound better than it already was. :]
