[jerryprofe]

Good song!

[yurherenow]

better than the crack head's version. (whitney houston)

[davidkiller15]

Simply fantastic! (as always... ¬¬')

[petersmactintosh]

Jennifer Hudson is a wonderful talented singer but she is also a wonderful artist because she makes you reach for the notes in your own heart.

9stars

[myorangeplanet]

@petersmactintosh LMAO

[emoniac]

very lovely

[goodywin]

She KIIIILED that!

[biboyjeremy]

ok all you haters she jus lost to important people in her life so you all need to shut up she as a gift and your just damn jealous you can't ever in your life sing like that so dont talk smack unless you can do better!

[jeralds21]

is she lani misalucha?

[MichelonL]

she is fantastic.. faboulus! i love you

[LyRiCaLpRiNcEsS85]

ADVIL66.... are YOU kidding me???? Charice does NOT even compare to J. Hud!!! Get your life together... and learn correct grammar and spelling sweetie! Seriously?! Like CMILLS7 said: NO ONE is touching her right now!

[Tay9119]

she is so hot!!! wow!!

thanksSszsz KO

[advil66]

Are you kidding me CMILLS7? what do you mean you can not fron on here! Huhh! Yes she can sing those high notes and everything but one thing is clear her voice is not soothing to ears. Doesnt realy gud to hear! there is a girl a 16 year old gir discovered by Ophra who is a real power house that can eat Jeniffer out! The sound of her voice is totally fantastic! Goosebump all over and she can easily upstage Jennifer!

[cmills7]

There's not many singer messing with Jennifer right now. You can't front on her. She has a gift from God himself. This is natural power!

[babyface2k]

plain spamming only. they're like my brother. thinking he can sing but he can't. he's just standing there singing ugly and relaxing getting ready for his favorite high note. then singing suck again to the end. never learn. he should listen to singers how they do things right. starting right and ending right. no breaking. then you can call yourself a singer. or least you can do is be a good performer.

[babyface2k]

jennifer sings this song like a pro too. but i'm saying there are singers-wanna-be here posting and acting diva when they can't even start right nor end a song right. they think just because they can hit a high note in a song, doesn't mean they can start-to-finish a song right. amateurs mostly pose first and boring, get ready for the high note. then ending a song bad. listen well and take notes from real singers first before you can think you are a singer and having guts to post here.

[WhitneyWorldMusic]

Very good...check out Whitney version of the same song....I posted in the video reply.

[cinqoctaves]

Whitney's version is so freaking awesome!!!!

[crazyjoce]

where is she?

[00000elmo00000]

i like too bee like you i will sing i am changing on saturday i m your fan and im proud to be like you

[raymondbrugman]

She is the best !!!!!!

[luxuryleo11]

i luv this its like a someone life style.....

[babyface2k]

best interpretation /watch?v=FRbNqD33XAE

Sheryn Regis.

[babyface2k]

Omgosh there are a lot of amateurs posting on youtube even so far from being leveled to Jennifer Hudson. Mostly black girls. Listen well more lol. Not "i can hit that note(but i hope will not let me sing to the end though lololol)". Think and listen well before you attempt and posting. A REAL singer can sing good from the start to the end. Not bark bark did you hear i hit the note drama lol. If can't, be a good performer at least like patti labelle and fantasia b.

[crazyjoce]

can u blame them for trying to be like her?

[ghbaby08]

so allll the critics are wrong and JHud is a bad singer?

[nickvbottom]

she i pretty but wtoung dress

[Jewelerica]

I actually think i like Jennifers version better than whitney's just my opinion though.

[hayyy856]

i got the chills from this song it is so good.. get at meh

[southeastdcboi]

i wish everyone could stop comparing jennifer versoin to whitney version because whitney version was did in another style and key.. its a clip of jennifer on here doing it in the style that whitney did it in and jennifer ripped it so see more of jennifer singing before comparing her to other peoples peformances because im telling u jennifer can do down with the best of them

[dreizbaq14]

yeah you is so right about that dont you just hate when other people compare somebody eles with that person

[tajmabruno]

STUNNING!!!!!!!!!!

[adenbrishangles]

TamyragrayPro....oh then it's a bootleg...figures

[TamyraGrayPromotions]

This was recorded at a private event for Clive Davis. You think that the person could just wip out whatever equipment they wanted? It was recorded on a digital camera by her best friend James.

[MsKoutu]

Fuk! Jennifer is stunnig no doubt! Diana has NOTHING on Jen! Sisters sing better. I cant belive Jen didnt win

[cdjndc]

SHE IS A BEAST!!!! YOU BETTA SANG!!!!

[littlenoel20]

What else can I say? Jennifer is THE ULTIMATE! She is still unmatched.

[alicia052330]

yea, she's good -almost as good as the old whitney

[cbsgirl123]

back off

[hardfiction89]

she can sing soo well its ridiculous, weird, she didnt win american idol.. and she was the best vocalist, and compare to her, the other vocalists were shit.. after rewatching american idol, dear god Diana Digarmo was a peice of shit XD

[jrpisan]

watch this girl singing i am changing here in you tube shes great

watch?v=SGxsftdHYh0

or search here in you tube kyla i am changing youll love it promise

[schatelicious]

the gown is flawless

[TomBurgos]

Whitney's version is awesome but damn, it's like 27 minutes too long.

(At least it feels like it)

[sdn1820022002]

I love JHUD, but there is no different elements in her voice. She sounds the same on everything. Great singers like Whitney, and Celine was able to change it up. I hope Clive brings out the best in her!

[jrpisan]

watch this girl singing i am changing here in you tube shes great

watch?v=SGxsftdHYh0

or search here in you tube kyla i am changing youll love it promise

[divadoll1]

I like J Hudson but she is too loud she only sounds good in a few songs. I love this song when whitney did it. J Hudson does an ok job!!!

[Neno8403]

Soory. I love J.Hud. but after hearing Whitney Houston tear this song into a million pieces in both Cali and NY...there is no comparison. Whitney took this song to levels never imaginable. Jennifer didn't come close to hittin some of the 6-octave notes 23-year-old Whitney did. Whitney made this song sound so dramatic and intimate and soulful...this was a good performance but it almost sucks compared to Nippy.

[lrt2285]

you said it all right there, i love me some jennifer but when i heard whitney do this song she took it to a level that is unheard of.

[soundslikeblue]

You're so right! The New York performance of this song by Whitney in 1986 is just Incredible!

[cinqoctaves]

All the 1986 versions are awesome. hy she is the voic, there's a reason, she just cn outsing any female and male singer on this fucking planet!

[EDALLASMANN]

she's a very good vocalist and i voted for jennifer religiously on the american idol show, but she needs to get away from the jennifer holiday/dream girls act really quick. she needs 2 get her own identity ..if she keep doing this, she will have a sort lived singer career

[latakbako]

yup jen is great

[alyamber]

Wow. Great performance.

[projectkid97]

luving Jen

[soundslikeblue]

Jennifer sang this song very well in this video , but Whitney's versions of this song in 1986 are so much better! In fact I think the New York performance in 1986 is one of the best performances by Whitney and also one of the best performances by any female singer ever! You've got to listen to that ;)***** Till 1994 Whitney was the best!!!!!

[lilnbigman]

Well I listened to Whitney's version & I am sorry No One does it Better than Jennifer!!!

[soundslikeblue]

Whitney's version requires much more technic and voice, but of course I respect your opinion. this song is beautiful song in both versions! ;)

[Thkmra]

Agree 100%! Though Whitney is undenably the queen, point blank Jen's OWNS this song!! It may be tempting to reminisce on the Good days of Whit, in her past glory... and stature, but on some real ish, Jen is a better singer, or will eventually become the better of the two.

[idolfan9495]

I've never been able to listen to Whitney's whole version. It's like, get on with it!

[soundslikeblue]

It's here on youtube (the sound quality is not very good but I have it in my favourits cause Whitney's voice was amazing! for me the best one is The New York performance - I'm changing 1986)

[themostsexiest]

u a dumb miserable bitch u gonna die in seven bullshit ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha lmao u funny

i woneder counsoler or therapist

[TooHotAt28]

I will put Jennifer in Whitney's League. Jennifer Hudson is an amazing singer. In 10 years she will be the Next Best Whitney Houston without all the negative stuff in the media. She is going to do much better than Whitney because Jhud is very humble and it shows in everyone of her TV interviews.

[ashki54]

Fan for freakin life

[justdavon]

Jennifer Hudson is great singer, I can not wait to see what she does next and yes Whitney Houston did this song better but no one is in Whitney's league.

[TemujinScott]

stop comparing!

[justdavon]

Okay, I will admit I was wrong to compare Jennifer to Whitney. However I can't take what I said back because it is the truth.

[dannyboi123444]

any1 hear whitney say "sing baby" .. "yeah!" lol amazing performance. whitney sung the fuck out of this song in 1986 she was amazing

[cranberyy22]

Haha! Yea i caught that this was whitneys day view apperance back in the light. See even there her voice was strong. There will never be another Whitney.

[jimmyneutronaden]

omg i just Love her she is amazing

[hoopsfan9]

Go Jhud!!!! Sang it girl

[unbreakmyheart01789]

AMAZINNNNNNNNG

[rbower1]

FUCKING AMAZING

[MakesThePantiesDrop]

She'll be a legend.

[babyiyitee]

this is a good song

[apostro]

sINCE i HEARD SOME 3 MINUTES OF sTEPHANIE mCkAY month ago I m still looking if there is anyone better and I really cannot find with the exception of Erykah Badu - Can anyone advise me here ??? - Or is there nothing better

[ledivasoprano]

Yeah so did I, she was so good!! sorry, SHE IS!(for the haters)

[romanticspirit]

when she got booted off Idol, I wanted to get drunk.. I felt it was wrong.. I Spirit knew she was destined for

Greatness.. She's a Sweetie, Getting Better everyDay, Awards/movies/singing/ and her own talks how Sky is the Limit, Your an InSpiration JEN Love you "Miss Kelly"

[tgoodall8086]

How could this wonderful voice get kicked off idol? Thats a crying shame. Kepp up the great work jhud

[PreciousEarthquakes]

She may have been kiscked off... BUT

LOOK!! She through that RIGHT back in the judges and/or the publics face.

She is gonna make it farther than the rest (at least in the world of Broadway or something)

[lexington4]

I agree. Success is the sweetest form of revenge!

[hazeleste]

love it! one of my fave songs from dreamgirls.

[Divette2]

Ok some people sing...she can SAAANG!! She did justice to the Jennifer Holiday song in the Movie and now it seems she has come into her own with voice and confidence. The girl sings on command, she evokes emotion and she digs deep. Singer don't do this anymore...you go Jennifer Hudson...the sky is truly the limit.

[sulee2]

She tore it up!

[phoenixriz]

fundude06 "Spot On" She brought Whitney back.

Preston, I adored her when she sang "Weekend in New England" Did you see her duet with Barry on Seacreat

Live? He said up allnight rearranging the song for her. As for Jennifer Holliday, she said she gained 100 lbs during Dreamgirls,was exhausted and never left her room between performances. She had some very difficult times. I hope JHud does a varity of music. She could certainly appeal to all age groups and do very well with some "Classics".

[TheRealRashad]

Jennifer Holliday didn't gain 100 pounds for Dreamgirls. She was always a big girl. She lost 50 pounds for opening night. She said that on an interview with Rosie about 9 or 10 years ago.

[widlipoo]

it's jennifer hudson not holliday

[TheRealRashad]

I know who it is...the person above me ... if you READ ... says Jennifer Holliday. We're not talking about JHud.

[fundude06]

The only thing missing from this performance was a Grammy Award....LOL...She sang someone back to life with this performance! Almost like when she did "Circle of Life," when Mufasa was raised from the dead...LOL...Great job J-Hud!!

[PrestonPowell]

I actually think her version of "Weekend in New England" was perhaps her greatest performance on Idol. It stands beside Fantasia's "Summertime" performance as one of the best on the show.

[nickbigd]

preston - totally agree. i've always thought weekend in new england was one of the best idol performances ever. talk about making a song your own. too bad they couldn't work it into dreamgirls somehow. LOL

[phoenixriz]

As Jennifer begins to sing, Whitney Houston says it best with "Sing Baby". You can hear Whitney supporting her when Jennifer sings "Look at Me" and Wnitney says "Yeah". Then when Jennifer goes up an octave you can hear the cheers. At the end the "Bravo" sounds like Barry Mannilow. He is such a supporter of Jennifer. I love this darling child. She is growing so fast and making her statement that nobody is going to stop her now. Go Jennifer. I love you.

[JHUDloverx29]

omg! i love herr to death. she is my number one obsession. and this is oine of my favorite songsz from both the movie and the broadway play.

[fundude06]

Ahh, nothing like a singer sounding great live (maybe better) than wax! J-Hud is on point and ready to take charge!

[dareevesjr]

Was that Whintney that said "Sang Baby" at the very beginning of the video.

[Svhsgirl]

yeah. it did sound like her, she is so ghetto lol

[lonelylady4ever]

I love this damn girl.

[antman71889]

Dang she sang her ass off. where is she singing at tho?

[4thetruth]

The Carousel of hope ball - it was the night Whitney made her first appearence.

[ncshorty82]

This is real singing!!!

[Jules9161]

Bravo is right....

[svetaswan]

Yeah that is her trademark that hand on the hip, lol I am so happy for Jennifer, the movie was great I loved it so much, She is going to make it

[teom2005]

Just remembering that Whitney sang thiss song on her Tour of 1986

[PrestonPowell]

Whitney sure did and she sang the shit out of this song too! Whitney's arrangement of the song was very Soulful, she reminded me of Aretha singing it. It's perhaps one of Whitney Houston's greatest vocal performances I've ever heard.

[jrwright90]

lol @ whitney "SING BABY" "YEAH"

[koldestwinter]

Do you how long I've been looking for this? Someone posted it the day after she did this, but it was removed. JHud's voice makes the hair on my neck stand on end. She's going to be a BIG star if her cards are played right....

[midnitehour]

I'm scared that she won't be able to make that transition. Theres no denying hse has the best voice out right now, but as far mainstream success...i don't kno, but i wish her the best ...she deserves.

[PrestonPowell]

I wish the best for Jennifer too but look what happened to Jennifer Holliday? Hudson has that same type of Gospel-infused vocals as Holliday, and to mainstream who mostly listens to Fergie and that other ilk, Hudson's vocals can be too overwhelming to embrace. It's a shame because raw talent are always passed over for medicore, watered-down garbage. If she can balance both movies and music the way Babs and Diana Ross did, she'd be okay.

[darkebony]

true! Now you know that I live for women who can sing like that but it never makes it out of the black community because its too black thats what they say!!!

[jrb21five]

i posted it but i had to take it down

[byronn40]

Yes, that was Whitney Houston saying "Sing Baby".

[midnitehour]

the texture of her voice is so warm and rich when she sings low, then she hits those high notes with so much clarity. I luv it when she puts her arm on her waist, thats becoming her trademark

[dariusmosley]

i love her again

[bidonpenn]

I feel like I'm at church whenever J-Hud sings... and that is a GOOD thing!!!! You go girl!!!!

[mcalis1980]

You go girl!!! JHUD!!

[mmmxxx]

yeah i loved that she did her high notes, there is no way jhud would sing infront of her idol and not give her all in the performance, this was so goooooooooood, jhud is a 1 off talent, ever couple of years a new voice comes along, since i was borne its been whittney, mariah, celine, christina, jennifer hudson

[luqhaqeem]

whoa!!! wow!!! golly!!! legend in the making, ALREADY!!!

[kockyass]

Wow! Thats all I can say!

[WONDAWOMAN]

SHE TOOK IT TO CHURCH! OKAY! Refreshing to hear an alto who can sing, when everyone else is soprano all of the time! YAAAY!

[koldestwinter]

GatDAMMIT. She done kilt it. I love that woman. [yo...where can I hear Whitney's version?]

[chiflado]

um. that WAS whitney saying "sing, baby." i mean... i know her voice anywhere... speaking or otherwise. WHITNEY LIKES HER! YAY!

[mmmxxx]

i hope so, i think every jhud fan knows that whittney IS jhuds biggest influence and fav singer of all time

[brocktonbrian]

blessed blessed blessed

[pattersonjk]

baddest bitch on the block!

[akadiva]

superb wish you ll go far (from france!!!)

[baz1000]

Whitney would have been proud!!!

[cabupa]

Hey u do know whitney was in the crowd and that was her voice at the start of that video? So gald Whitney is back on track! I LOVE JHUD!!!!

[baz1000]

I should be ashamed to not realise that whitneys voice edging jenn on. Whitney looked AMAZING that night..have you heard Whitney's "I am changing" on whitney-fan site? It's absolutely amazing you should hear it if youv'e not heard it.

[mmmxxx]

was that whittney walking off in the white silk suit?

[rukmanir]

No. Whitney wore a black floor length couture gown for the event.

[mmmxxx]

is she in the video???

[bigwhitneyfan]

and Whitney looked the best there :P

[SpecialKev]

She sure did. ;-)

[HUDS08]

thank you for posting this....Jennifer is really blessed by God. I love her so much...She sang it superb.
