Good Lord. Did anyone catch this performance by Jennifer Holliday with Jessica Sanchez on American Idol? (I don't know why I was watching to begin with.)
Holliday kept contorting her face, bugging her eyes and bearing her false teeth like a freaking horse. I'm gonna have nightmares tonight!
When I can find a video or pictures it will be posted here!

The video in its entirety can be viewed here.

It appears I wasn't the only one who had this reaction. Thousands of people have visited this in the last few hours, searching for "Jennifer Holliday faces", "Jennifer Holliday scary", and "Is something wrong with Jennifer Holliday" on Google! Now the good part...
Enjoy the laughs!
:-D

Hahaha I was just trying to see if people posted pics yet because it was SCARY!
scared the shit out of me
Iher facial expressions were very bizarre
soo frightened
You know nothing about music, flawless performance...
Flawless performance...if you take out the grunting, groaning, grimacing, and bug eyed Halloween faces.
I thought I was the only one searching for stills of that performance. She deserves a meme lol

I can't even believe what I saw. I immediately googled it to see what people were saying. So creepy!
Best performance of the night by far. You obviously have no clue.
wonderful performance! If you are not familiar with this artist, you should goolge her. Her performance made the audience catch the R&B Holy Ghost!!! If you know music, then you would know this was flawless. I know music and am not a big Aerosmith fan, but Tyler sounded good, even with the faces and crazy moves.
Are you kidding? She was FANTASTIC!!!!! Those faces along with her incredible voice won her a Tony award for Dreamgirls on Broadway.
They put her on American Idol for a reason....duh. The crowd went wild because of HER performance!!!
They made the movie because of HER.
You are CLUELESS....LOL
Whoa whoa! I didn't say anything about her voice being bad. She has a great voice from what I heard. But it was a little too goofy for my taste!
That's what Multiple Sclerosis will do to a person.
The fact that you don't know who Jennifer Holliday shows how clueless you are. Don't comment about music if you know absolutely nothing about music.
Thanks for adding some intelligence to the discussion! I'll take Billie Holliday. Thanks.
Jennifer Holliday is the best! Her passion comes through in every word she sings.
My kids and I laughed until tears rolled. She has a wonderful voice but it was bizarre. Even now, two hours later I get the giggles.
We were laughing too! We couldn't believe what we were seeing.
I felt bad because I thought that she had previously had a stroke. Turns out she's just intense when she sings. Scared the heck outta me. It was hard to watch.
People come on! Jennifer Holliday has an amazing instrument...... Very talented yes, however, she's friggin scary to watch. Her facial contortions are distracting to say the least....... Amazing voice or not.
I was waiting for the dramatic finish. Holliday reaching up and grabbing a zipper at the top of her head...followed by a complete unzip ala Men In Black...to expose...JACK BLACK!!
I thought I was the only one who found that performance disturbing.
I think it is terrible that rather than seeing the beauty of Ms. Holliday's talent people are focusing on her looks. Maybe the time should be spent commending her for doing what she loves even in the face of the challenges that must be presented by having multiple sclerosis.
Everyone needs to relax. No one is saying Jennifer Holliday isn't an absolute icon! her performance was completely and utterly amazing along with Jessica's. i was raised on her music. But her absolutely amazing voice doesn't mask the fact that her facial expressions were so distracting!!! Definitely weirded out by them and i kept concentrating on them more than on her perfomance! why Jennifer!?!?
We kept rewinding as we watched....totally died laughing. It made the whole corny night worth the watch!
This was so funny to me, but at the same time, it was an amazing performance. But MAN, Jennifer Holiday is not playing! She is NOT leaving, EVER!
First off I am not trying to discredit her voice but I barely heard her voice I was laughing so hard! I thought her fake teeth and wig were both going to fly off, it was hysterical! In what universe could you NOT find that performance hilarious?! (Btw,I am a diehard Broadway junkie and have seen plenty of corny performances in my time, THIS takes the cake!)
Omg these photos and video clips are great! I had to google and find out if anyone else thought this was as freaking hilarious as my 12 year old daughter and I did! We were dying laughing through the ENTIRE performance...tears and all!! Now that's great entertainment ;)
Learn your history before making such an ignorant post. Jennifer showed over the top acting to portray the reason for singing the song in Dream Girls, which BTW allowed her to win a Tony Award and a Grammy. This was required 30 years ago on Broadway to allow everyone in the theatre to see and hear a performance (before actors wore wireless microphones).
As far as the performance is concerned, Jennifer took Jessica to school. I'd say Jessica now understands the emotion associated with the song and learned how it should be sung.
The uglier faces they make the better singers they are.
Whatever, she may sing okay but I would never be able to watch the freak again. She is made for Radio for sure. She looked like a drag queen.
The facial expressions allow her to get the notes out. She is famous for singing that song as if she were going to die right on stage if her lover leaves her. Take away the faces and you might not get the staggering vocals. Her performance of that song won her a Grammy and a Tony -- and it remains one of the top live performances in NYC theater history.
People who say "you don't know anything about music so don't post...shut up. The whole point of this post is about her freakish looks and weird faces not the history of music or how good she is or isn't. Opinions are subjective so deal with it....I could hardly stand to look at her yet could not look away. Like a car crash....it did not portray emotions equal to that song or any song I can think of...again, shut up music major. It's funny.
The funniest thing was that Jessica almost lost it twice. Watch closely and you will see. That two times, Jessica cracks the funniest smile because Jennifer was up. In her face, making those monster faces. I don't know how she pulled it back together. One smile, and I would've lost it completely! Thanks for this blog. I laughed sooo hard last night.
forgive me if someone's already mentioned this. but if you have this recorded, go back and watch a 4-second clip of randy and jlo reacting (randy twitching and jlo with a look as if to say WTF!!???). i have never seen my wife laugh so hard!!! it was a riot!!!! :)
Andy: We definitely caught that too. Hilarious. The look on J Lo's face said it all!
I don't care what she won, the fhorrific facial expressions were UNGODLY overkill. Perhaps that was the WRONG SONG for HD television. If I was Jessica I would have WET myself! Poor thing.
Ya, J Lo's reaction was GREAT! ROFL!!!
SHES A FAT DISGUSTING PIECE OF SHIT W A SEMI DECENT VOICE. SHE DESERVES TO BE BURNED ALIVE FOR HER DISGUSTING FACES AND ANTICS. SHES THE ONLY BEAST WOMAN ON THE PLANET W A VOICE THAT MAKES DISGUSTING FACES LIKE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Evidently, obviously, the producers of the show had no idea she was going to be so scary.... I believe they did her an injustice by allowing her to perform.... The performance was flawed by the all the ( I can't think of a proper word - I'm trying to be compassionate) - feeling she displayed along with her vocals. I felt sorry for her, I knew she was going to be made fun of. Poor thing.
Actually it really looks like she has a structural jaw bone issue. She sings flawlessly but it is difficult to watch and listen to her performance at once, which is too bad.
I hate the fact that a lot of people are morons that they could laugh at someone who is obviously affected by illness. Well maybe you will remember how you laugh at her when the time comes when you get afflicted by the disease.... Karma works in mysterious ways!!!!
Kkkkkk tão engraçado... Pena que nenhum blogueiro no Brasil tenha comentado ainda. Fiquei preocupada... Pensei que a Jessica seria jantada naquela noite. Kkkkk
Fico feliz que tenham gostado! :)
Why does the fringe right watch this crap?
Surely you're not this close to brain dead ... check that.
Thanks Ducky! Glad to have you here.
Sometimes you have to get ugly to sing a song. You can't be cute and sing like that. When Jessica got ugly, she hit the notes.
Jennifer let the world know how that song should be song. She put everything in it. She pulled it out of her heart, pushed it out of her back and put her foot all up in it. She is the best. I am telling you and you and you. Your going to love her yea yea yea
I haven't laughed this hard in years! She looked like the cowardly lion from the Wizard of Oz. Seriously...it was the funniest thing I've seen on TV. Thanks American Idol!
This was grotesque and pathetic! Both singers sounded awful and looked as if they were going to go after each other's throats. Not a nice way to conclude the season. Didn't care for J. Lopez' performance in her circus outfit.
Here's the best all of you are talking about it so it's what they wanted I think it was great! Jennifer and Jessica did a great job... The song is about drama and they gave it...
It's well documented.

Jennifer has suffered from multiple sclerosis for more than 17 years. It is incredible she is able to keep performing at such a phenomenal level.
The jokes on this blog post about her looks are mean and uninformed.
It's been almost a month and the loss of my dogs and it still hurts. When this insane screaming started my cat went crazy and killed all three of my dogs, the Chow named Cutter, Pit Bull named Hellrazor, and my best buddy the Doberman name BACKUPNOW. Hair and bones everywhere what a mess.The cat is also missing the dogs and very upset about the fact they are gone. Thank god she was just a kitten and will have time to forget. If the "plpio wackio scarychaz" makes an record and she is going to start screaming they had better warn people before they play it on the radio. People will wreck their cars! Jessica's junk is a big risk for the music labels, copy of Whitney songs sang just as Whitney did them may go over well at the local bar on karyokee night. Not on the
Ray D I O. They are looking for K Perry, Lady GaGa, and Adele. Not to bring Whitney back....
Clay Walker has the same thing that jennifer has, and has been producing Platnum records for over 20 years. Performing on stang and touring every year. I,ve never seen a face like that on him!!!!! And way does Jessica have the same face, I'll tell you why, go into your bathroom look into the mirror and scream as hard as you can...LOL There you go.
I have a way to help you recover from this mess...U Tube Elise Testone. Now that is singing...!
i'd like to have the xml for this page and blog.
can we work out a jv ??
wow...verry funny....
LOLZ....
This is very rude... You know you all may have hurt a human being with your comment. But through all that she still has probably 1,000 times more money than you do.... Literally.... So instead of making fun of music legend and her face look at your face .. Your face is not bringing I millions of dollars now is it? Hahahahaha
