There was no memo in 1994...

It's because of performances like this the memo was written.

Oh dear god I couldn't even listen to the whole thing.

She drained every ounce of emotion out of it. Which, I think, has more to do ith that fact that she singing in a beauty contest than anything else.

The orchestra on the backing track sounded like they were on valium.

But, I'm not going to write off a white version. I would love to see Susan Boyle sing this.

Thanks for sharing PG2!

I was still open to the idea of white people singing that song but not anymore.

The perfect singer for this song would have been Anthony Newley - his version would have been definitive.

Sutton Foster's "And I'm Telling You" is hilarious. Has anyone else seen it at one of her concerts?

Has Von Smith come out yet?

I won a Dreamgirls dvd singing this song for the contest they had when the dvd came out. I think I scared them into an honorable mention.

Von Smith annoys me... regardless of being able to sing the song.. he sucks at it... it's just so hollow and there's no substance to it.. it's like a guy singing it to show off his range and voice but it's so empty and boring... it's all flash no substance...
