Jennifer Holliday's Up To Her Old Tricks

Girlfriend needs to GET OVER IT ALREADY. Andrea McArdle doesn't go around bitching about how nobody asks her input on other ANNIE movies. Last I checked, Jane Krakowski wasn't making the rounds complaining about NINE.

I love her but everytime she brings this up I just hate her a little bit more.

As if the interview wasn't crazy enough, her performances of that song really almost ruins it at this point. It's even more spoof-y than when Capathia Jenkins spoofed her in Martin Short: Fame Becomes Me.

She looks great though.

She makes me sad. I hope one day she can let it go. I don't think she'll ever be happy until she does. She has no sense of perspective on this at all. Maybe she never will.

And this might sound harsh, but I'm tired of so many people saying "she still has the pipes."

No, she doesn't. Not even close. It's like a former Rockette who can only kick waist-high but still wants to be on the line. Holliday was able to do extraordinary things with her voice at a young age. She was like a thoroughbred that peaked early on, yet keeps trying to recapture the former glory. The worst part is she thinks she can still do it. I suppose that kind of "blind confidence" can drive people to keep going, but not if it's this delusional. And so many people "enable" her by saying, "Wow! You still go it!"

No, kid. You don't. It's a shame she didn't mature and evolve into either a Martha Wash or a Terri White or a Carol Woods. It's almost as bad as if Andrea McArdle thought she could still play Annie and was upset that she wasn't considered for the role in the Rob Marshall TV movie.

No sense of perspective at all.

If you want people to refer to you for help with the role, don't sing the song like that. Jennifer Hudson did quite well without her help.

"When did Andrea McArdle say that she could still play Annie?"

CATS---that was a hypothetical comparison. Thankfully not a real one!

I'll fix it so it's morer clearerer.

LOL^^^^^^^^!!!!!!

I just re-watched the performance, and it really does play like the Forbidden Broadway parody of her.

Sad.

So was the Holiday & Hudson duet really just a chance for Holiday to try and upstage Hudson :S?

HAHHAHA at the transition between them at 1:45 seconds

Awkward bitterness.

Whatever about Jennifer, I thought Wendy Williams to be the more objectionable...remind never to watch that show.

I have to imagine being there for that duet would be like the SNL parody of the audience reaction to Oprah's favorite things with flailing and spontaneous combustion. Wow, that video.

She needs to think about the REAL issues surrounding not being cast in a film version of a stage show that a person was in on Broadway. In comparison to people like Angela Lansbury and Julie Andrews (to name a couple) who successfuly starred in shows and were never asked to partake in the film version she's pretty much nobody. Is Dreamgirls the only thing that ever happened in her sorry little life?
