36325, you'll be pleased to know the film version is just as good.

well, the acting at least.
Jennifer Hudson is a great (GREAT) singer, but Jennifer Holliday was almost supernatural. To say Hudson came within a micrometer of touching Holliday is not a slight to her, as many people over the years have either warbled through "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" hideously, or put 126578.6 runs into the song and lost the feeling and emotion.
I've heard Holliday's "And I Am Telling You" many times, and I've seen that clip several times, but Hudson's version still almost made me cry.
