      I agree. Jennifer added so much raw emotion to the song, but Amber would probably be a VERY close second because she SLAYS that climax. She deserved that Olivier in 2017 as much as Jennifer deserved her Tony in 1982.

    Okay, now I wanna see a copy of the sheet music because 50%+ of these singers seem like they wouldn't know what to do with the song if it weren't for Holliday. That aside, NONE of these singers seemed to have the life experience and the pain required to sing it (except Jennifer) and most of them seemed to be like, "Hey, look at me. I can WAIL these notes." Holliday rules and always will.
