Jennifer Hudson Battles It Out With Jennifer Holliday

It's the battle of the Jennifers!

Jennifer Hudson shocked the audience at her and Robin Thicke's concert on Thursday night in Atlanta with a surprise jaw-dropping sing-off against Jennifer Holliday with—what else?, "And I'm Telling You (I'm Not Going)."

Holliday first made the song famous, and her signature tune, when she sang it eight times a week in the original 1981 Broadway production of Dreamgirls.

And then Ms. Hudson introduced it to a new generation with her powerhouse rendition in the 2006 movie adaptation of the musical which helped snag an Oscar for the silver screen newbie.

So who do you think does it better? Hear it for yourself here.



Meanwhile, Holliday wasn't the only one joining Hudson onstage. She and fellow American Idol-er Fantasia performed their Grammy-nominated song "I'm His Only Woman."
