The Diva Battle of ALL TIME!!!!!

The original (some say the best) Effie White
However, there was just one thing wrong.
LaHolliday, the diva of all diva's, was nowhere to be seen.
She later came out swinging, angry not to have been offered so much as a cameo in the movie. JHud did her best to compensate by snatching out a quick "thank you" to the diva at the very close of her Oscar speech... it just didn't seem like enough.
Finally, finally, finally, it seems JHoll gets her dues from JHud and the producers of Dreamgirls. At last nights BET Awards, celebrating achievement by black artists in the realms of film and music, the two Jennifer's got together and to the delight of the audience they performed a duet of "their" number and it was a triumph!
Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson
JHud was the very image of politeness, deferring to the stateswoman of soul, Holliday, at every turn with obvious awe and respect. She quickly won LaHolliday over. This situation did not stop either diva from belting the hell out of "their" song and obviously competing for vocal superiority.
Frankly it depends on which diva happens to be your favourite as to who came out on top. To my eye they both blew the song away and delivered a triumphant performance that will not long be forgotten. Hopefully a recording will follow and this magical performance will not go the way of Whitney Houston's rendition of the same song and end up as just a hideously grainy video on YouTube!
