Until MCC puts up its own videos, I found this of Jennifer Holliday singing "I Am What I Am" and I am in awe. (Song starts about 2 minutes in after she talks about Norbert Leo Butz singing "And I Am Telling You" and a bit about The Color Purple)
Please, someone get Carmen to play King George for real.
In our millions, in our billions, we are most powerful when we stand together. TW4C unwaveringly joins the worldwide masses, for we know our liberation is inseparably bound.

What the hell is Mandy Gonzalez doing? That was a strange interpretation of that song.

Completely agree on both points. Somebody please give Stephanie a bunch of Tonys just cuz (I s really hope she snags at least a nom if not a win for Trina). I didn't want to hate on Mandy but I now appreciate Ben Platt even more than I did before. My God.
Musically it was strange. Her reach for "waving" sounded off, consistently, and she has a powerhouse range. It was a dangerous effort, because she tried to appropriate the emotional focus but oversang it and it just seemed to go on forever. Too bad.
