Hard core fans of “Dreamgirls” are debating the following question: Which singer/actress did a better job portraying the character of “Effie”, Jennifer Holliday or Jennifer Hudson? Jennifer Holliday had the role in the original 1980’s Broadway production, and Jennifer Hudson played Effie in the recent Hollywood movie.

While I haven’t taken sides in the debate (both performances were fabulous, see Jennifer Holiday’s performance by clicking here), I must admit that the video posted below does not help Jennifer Hudson’s cause. As they say in the South, bless her heart! She’s sweet to put out this message, but heaven help her, doesn’t she have a publicist? That makeup and hair! Sitting with that dog in her lap, so close to the camera that her eyes are practically crossing. Oy vey.
