Amber Riley and Jennifer Hudson Sing Dreamgirls Duet | Video

Watch Amber Riley and Jennifer Hudson Deliver a Knockout "Dreamgirls" Performance

Amber Riley and Jennifer Hudson treated a TV audience to one hell of a performance on Monday when the powerhouse singers united for an epic "Dreamgirls" duet. Hudson invited the newly-crowned "Masked Singer" winner on her talk show on 5 Dec., and after discussing her career, the two joined forces to sing the famous hit "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" — which they both have ties to as they performed the song while playing the role of Effie in the classic musical (Hudson in the 2006 film version and Riley in the London stage play in 2016).

Hudson and Riley made a game of their performance and hid behind a bunch of Christmas trees while the audience guessed whose vocals were whose. "Tear down the mountains / Yell, scream and shout / You can say what you want / I'm not walkin' out," sang Hudson, while Riley belted out, "Stop all the rivers / Push, strike and kill / I'm not gonna leave you / There's no way I will."

They then reappeared on stage for their grand finale and tore the house down with a masterful delivery of the song's final chorus. And yes, they both sang that iconic run at the end. Watch the pair's stunning "Dreamgirls" performance above.
