Now that’s a Holiday!

Jennifer Holiday.
You know - I still listen to her CD with “And I’m Telling You - I’m Not Going!” The very best rendition ever - from the original Dream Girl! Although I haven’t seen “Dream Girls” the movie yet. I think Jennifer Hudson will do it justice however. (Her best break came when she was voted off American Idol.)
Anyway, while we’re on the subject of Kwanza. Yeah, it’s not going to catch on, no matter how much media likes to pretend. I mean, Christmas is Christmas, ask any practising Christian of African descent.
Kwanza is an intellectual forgery, seeking to supplant the Christian celebration of Christmas with a nature based, ethnic parody of a religious festival. Do people really buy it? Gosh, I don’t think so.
Nevertheless, I’ll go see “Dream Girls” as part of my celebration of Misrule. For the lowdown on the Kwanza thing, MSN has the details.
Oh, and happy Festivus too!

I have had the pleasure to See the Great Ms. Holiday peroform in Dream Girls 26 times in New.
I am devote and avid collector of her music and a follower of her artistry.
For me,She is a great artist.Very few artist out there is no one who can light a candle to the illustrious, and the Devine Ms Holiday.
I have longed to see and hear in whatever medium she may use. She is one of the greatest tallent that has been grosely underused tallent. I hope to see more of her in the future.
I am always humbled by her voice, her passion and soulful exposer that touches humanity.
