Maybe  that was "The Yearling". I'll avoid any reference to fawnicate.  This is a family site.
It's all Greek to me - maybe that's faunicate.

I'm sure I'll love the "And I'm Not telling You" scene when I see it onscreen.

Just for a frame of reference, I realize I also much preferred Sheryl Lee ralph in the stage version to Jennifer Holliday.

Oddly, given the original splash, Sheryl Lee ralph had much more of a career than did Jennifer Holliday.

Jennifer Holiday was in "Splash"?  I guess she sang about refusing to dive  into a non-heated pool. "I'm telling you..".

These posts are really to keep BK away from his beloved machine!

I've never seen "Dreamgirls" nor have I heard of Ms Hudson nor Ms Ralph. I've only seem Ms Holliday singing that same song and going more over the top each time - on Tony Award shows etc.

Jennifer Holliday was terrific in a recurring role on "Ally McBeal".  The was a choir director who had been in a relationship with the pastor, got spurned in favor of a younger woman also in the choir.  Holliday would feature hymns that directed her anger at him or the other woman.  The pastor hired the lawyers to get her to cease and desist (as he didn't dare fire her lest he get sued for obvious reasons).

In one of the show's very best (among many great) episodes...during a funeral for a man whose last wish was to have it known that he despised people of diminutive stature, Holliday led the choir...with the congregation joining in jubilantly...in a rousing rendition of Randy Newman's "Short People.'


It was fabulous.


For some reason not given at IMDb, Ms. Holliday has not appeared on TV or in film since 2001.

I loved Ms. Holliday on "I Am Changing," though.  

I just happen to prefer the title song to "And I Am telling You," I guess.

For some reason I don't like Mr Newman's "Short People" song. (despite his comments that it is not really about people who are short in stature).
