Reba’s performance of her controversial song ‘She Thinks His Name Was John’ at the 1994 Blockbuster Entertainment Awards is haunting. She put a straight woman's face and perspective on the HIV/AIDS epidemic, people who were removed for the first time imagined themselves in that position. Very powerful.

I have to list this. Even though, as someone in the comments points out, she sounds on the final note as if someone is shoving a giant pine cone up her ass.

What always makes the Bennett staging of the number at r7 so killer, IMO, is that after Jennifer Holiday has just given one of the all-time great renditions of a Broadway song, she's STILL shunted backwards so the Dreams can storm on and cover her up with their sequined capes singing Love, Love Ya, Baby. Show business stops for no one, not even for the most talented.
It took a very, very confident director to put in a masterstroke like that at the end of a huge showstopper, stepping on the star's final note. But it pays off brilliantly.
