I still remember the night she was eliminated on AI and she smiled and said it wasn’t the last we’d see of her and “This is Jenny’s World”.

Who Knew? (she did apparently lol)

I love that dress!

As someone said above, I realized I can't name any of her songs. Wow, that's crazy to me.

She's the 3rd. Whoopi and John Legend have both won it.

Definitely a big accomplishment though the Tony for producing isn’t really the same as one for performing. She basically partially funded the show. I expect she may get another Tony in her lifetime for a performance.

Congratulations to her! Amazing that she didn't win American Idol. Shows that America isn't always so good at recognizing talent.

Congrats! Wish she had more commercial success with her albums/music. I can’t name any of her songs which is sad - she’s so talented.

Pretty big accomplishment. She's only the 17th person in history to do it and 2nd black American!

Four other women winners: Helen Hayes, Rita Moreno, Audrey Hepburn and Whoopi Goldberg
