Everyone knows that "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going," the showstopper anthem from Dreamgirls, is one of the hardest songs to nail. Most singers don't even touch it. Try it at your next karaoke party and you'll understand why.

Talk about guts.

And how did it work out for Allen? Did Ms. J-Hud approve of his rendition? Find out in the clip below.
