  • @tazzy198525 dramatic sopranos can perform with a more powerful and dramatic tone . They 're just able to hit soprano notes

  • didn't she belt a C6 ?

  • I meant Bb 5 wow lol I can't type lol

  • I meant more chest notes lol, (Bb 6) AMAZING:)

  • Wow she is an amazing singer, and I'm sure she has done more head notes but if not, it's amazing how she has higher head notes than the average singer!!! Great vid:)

  • SHES THA BEST OUT BEYONCE CANT TOUCH HER THATS SOUL REAL SINGING.......HANDS DOWN

  • I agree Jennifer has a stronger voice than Beyonce's by a lot but I personally love Beyonce's tone and her voice tops Jennifer's no matter how smaller her range is or what ever. to me at least...

  • she should have won in the whole auditions. she has such a powerful voice o____O :)

  • She can really belt it out but sometimes it sounds more like screaming.

  • Expensive she is one of the best of recent times, with certainty a voice super powerful ... But we have our here, it is called Deyse group aft familiar ......

  • Cara ela é umas das melhores dos ultimos tempos, com certeza uma voz super potente... Mas temos a nossa aqui, chama-se Deyse do grupo fat family......

  • What's her G#3 song?

  • WTF. B can do more with her voice, vocal runs ect. Jennifer has a much more powerful voice.

  • @iShobs not really. i've sung some of beyonce's songs and her runs seem hard, but once i tried them they're not at all. plus there is more to singing than vocal runs. Vocals runs doesn't make someone a good singer because alot of today's "artists" and "singer" actually do very sloppy vocal runs. Listen to an "Old-school" singer (Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, etc.) and hear how they use vocal runs. They use them sparingly but when they do use them, they are crisp, clean and very controlled

  • @dafuture93 How come everyone on YTube is so ignorant? I'm saying B can do more with her voice than Jennifer Hudson! I'm not bringing up old school singers like Aretha, Stevie or Patti! So stay off the topic. GOD! Pay attention.

  • @iShobs U dont have 2 bring up old school singers? i didnt say that u have 2, i was just telling u. And u need 2 stop calling other people ignorant. just because someone has a different opinion than u doesn't make them ignorant. grow up.

  • @dafuture93 Grow up..? Okay..? Did you take comprehension lessons in school? If not take I suggest you them now.

    YOU brought up old school singers when we're staying on the topic of B and Jen. Also, I wasn't calling you ignorant because you had a different opinion to me. I was calling you ignorant because you can't comprehend.

  • @iShobs yep. :)

  • @dafuture93 trollolol

  • @iShobs lol :)

  • @iShobs you're right....beyonce's got a more versatile, flexible voice and is better at singing upbeat songs thanks to much better control while jennifer has one massive and powerful vocal, very big but lacks agility...

  • don't know why she does this commercial music if she has a soul voice

  • i love Jennifer Hudson voice, so powerful and soulful. She sings way better the Beyonce

  • i feel like b voice is very much understimated

  • jenifer hudson has a much better voice than b , she can out sing there any day!!!

  • This is singing. Reminds me of the greatest voices over the years.

  • She has 5 octaves

  • i love her!

  • Why is every black female singer compared to Beyonce? There is no need to take from Beyonce's talent to lift Jennifer up. They are both amazing in their own right. Enough said.

  • neither got shit on whitney houston : ) and never will

  • Beyonce and Jhud have very different voices, even though both them are powerful belters.She is a dramatic soprano while beyonce is a mezzo.She is most def a soprano.Dramatic sopranos can (almost) hit the same notes as sopranos but with darker tessitura.

  • @raymondking092094 whats the difference from dramatic sopranos and sopranos

  • everybody stop fighting....yes, jennifer may have hit the high notes but beyonce is more popular..and she is a legend when it comes to pop music.....

  • @DarkChildDiva and then beyonce would start dancing.

  • What was the song she was singing at E5?

  • @crazy4jesus not true...actually mix tends to be more powerful and fuller than chest register...and these are mostly mixed notes;)

  • she has the best voice and vocals.

  • The girl is bad they can't touch her. I know that there is other good singers but she just takes it to another level. Sher made her own level. Love her.

  • Even more a given when considering Hudson's MEZZO tessitura would find it much too dificult to do such stratospheric notations in chest alone, when she clearly NOT a true soprano like Patti LaBelle or Lisa Fischer to do that; so to reach those notes it can only be via mixed/middle register!

  • Amazing DRAMATIC MEZZO-SOPRANO!

    But you should correct the section titled "higher chest notes" technically speaking that's wrong and you should title it MIXED or MIDDLE REGISTER notes, because if you listen: yes, the notes are propelled or anchored in chest resonance, but also have head tone's color/sonority mixed to the timbre.

  • @whistlenotelover i agree there ar so labeling errors

  • @whistlenotelover glad u posted this many ppl think she is belting chst that high...which is incorrect

  • wooooooooooooooooooooo!! dam she a beast i love this woman she is the shit!!!

  • Don't forget her D3 on Can't Stop The Rain..

    Jen's B5/C6 from American Idol Tour and Jen's C6 on Aretha's Think Performance.. She touched two C6 in chest!!!

  • @CurkroyBrown She hit a D3 on her song What's Wrong not Can't Stop The Rain.

  • @DAlmond123 no it was i cant stop the rain she hit the d3 sorry

  • @jamefff She must have hit it on both. I've measured the note in What's Wrong. It was harmonized.

  • Her lower belting range is just freaking magical... well her whole range is, but that part especially!

  • Christina> jennifer> Beyonce ;-)

  • @1flutedude XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD­XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD

    B>J>C

  • What are the e5, b4, f#5, A5, B5 songs please :)

  • wow.. this girls voice just amazes me, just like whitney's voice

    she just brings out your emotions when she sings..

  • where is the high note of her all dressed in love?

  • ps beyonce exclaims most her fulvoice notes but she can sing

  • i listened twice and i'm quite sure and i'm telling you wasn't in this video..

  • can someone write all title of these songs ?

  • jennifer hudson>>>>>>>>>> WIGoyonce.

  • wtf where is and i'm telling notes?

  • DAMN !!! i love her A5's

  • @genius3495 them notes are amazing. I learned how to hit them LOL

  • Where's the last F#5 from?

  • @Stefano94x "My Heart"

  • Dear everyone, (all bad talkers),

    SHUT THE F@#K UP and stop HATING!.

    The woman can really SING HER ASS OFF VERY WELL!!!!!.

    I have seen and heard SINGING LIVE and she was VERY VERY GOOD AT IT!!!!.

    Sincerely me.

  • @Jennykate1985 Cosign 100%!

  • :@DJAlmond123: YOU UNDASTAND MI!!!.

  • @Jennykate1985 Your right, no one out from this generation can hold a candle to her vocally, she will sing the tangles out of their weaves.

  • great voice

  • i also think she is much more beautiful then beyonce. I just think she has that true star quality, that it factor that you cant put ur finger on.

  • @CelebsRStupid I agree with this to and plus Jenn has loss some more weight recently.

  • I feel J.hud voice has such soul, power and chrisma. Thats why her talent overshadowed beyonce fake ass!

  • @CelebsRStupid Agreed!

  • So Amazing

  • What song is that at 2:04-2:10 That was beutiful sounding

  • its called stand up, bye jennifer hudson

  • People be talkin bout notes like they can sing like this woman.Yall are just fucking youtubers .I know she could tell you what e5 b5 or whatever the fuck it is and then hit it crazy but yall cant.None of you guys are beethoven or fuckin amadues musical brainiacs.OCTIVES MY ASSSSS THE BITCH CAN SING HER ASS OFF

  • @Herblandz..Thank you! People kill me using and misconstruing music theory, coming off like they REALLY know music!! The average person don't give a flying f*ck about the musical theory, but they know a great voice when they hear it.

    @xBeyonceXSasha....your youtube name alone makes you LOSE any validity to ANY point you try to make. It seems you fell victim to the Dreamgirls media bullshyt. Its alright to like both B AND Jennifer!! Stop it already!

  • hahahahah so true. these people dont need to be talking

  • I say her range is 4 octaves. 5 on a good day in a mezzo-soprano range.

  • i love her vocals and for all the haters apparently your opinion doesnt count about her vocal range . she has awards to prove you wrong. DO your thing j hud

  • now we know she can belt high in chest/mixed

    but her head voice needs to be practiced more she has a noce clear tone and its very strong

    oddly as much as i dont like her voice she reminds me alot of Patti Labelle but I LOVEEEEE PATTI's voice eh i'll never understand it

  • anyway her vocal range: 2 octaves 3 notes

    (F3-B5)

  • Comment removed

  • whoa Bb5 in chest!!! :D

  • that Bb5 note was not in complete chest voice

    she just sustained a note (not a Bb5 more around an F5) and then peaked it with a Bb5 exclamation in mixed voice

  • I think she is Dramatic Soprano

  • Comment removed

  • is she 3 octave?

  • no where near 3 octaves

    jhud only wishes she could have atleast a 2.5 octave voice

  • @xBEYONCExSASHAx Im a destiny's child fan but you are out your mind lol Quite obvious that Jennifer has 3 octaves in chest and that her vocal texture is more charismatic then Beyonce's lol

    Jennifer > Beyonce anyday.

  • @Breniznit you are out of your mind if you say the jennifer voice has more color then Beyonce. Yes Jennifer has the powerful vocals, but Beyonce has the versatility, range, and technique and the power. Now don't get me wrong Jennifer Hudson is an amazing vocalist, and she can sang, but to diss Bee thatz hella wrong. They are not in the same vocal categorie. JH is a full sopranoe, BK is a mezzo-sopranoe (dramatic if u may) just expressing the facts. no disrespect thou!

  • Comment removed

  • @darrian202 Call me when Beyonce can belt a high a,b or c. Jennifer would sing circles around her.I wouldn't consider myself a fan of Jennifer or of Beyonce (now days) so you know my opinion is completely unbiased.I'm not standing up for my idol obviously it's just the truth.Too compare Beyonce to Jennifer is like comparing Britney Spears too Patti Labelle.Chest range for Beyonce not even close to as good as Jennifer,nor is Beyonce as soulful and passionate.

  • @Breniznit lol i agree

  • @darrian202 ok first jens iz more on alto in basic voice as well as afew ppl ive spoke with and she has a contralto range even higher beyonce range iz from b2 to c6 she has maybe 2 and a half or 3 full voice octaves the rest in head voicejen has jus as much versatility as beyonce she jus does not rely on it like she does but bottom line is like she said in dream girls she cant sing like she can point blank and period

  • @Breniznit um do ur research jen sang live never mind the studio b2 to c6 the b2 was in the silent night on oprah the c6 was hit 3 times when she sang think

  • Jennifer is a Soprano Leggiero. She isnt a Lyric Sop bc her voice is more full in that register. She is definitely a Soprano with a nice filled out bottom register. Simple as that.

  • i`ve yet to hear jhud go into the 2nd octave so she clearly does not have a "filled out bottom register"

  • Jennifer is a soprano bc of her Vocal Tessitura. The topic of the discussion was dealing with people not believing tht she is a soprano and had NOTHING 2 do with singing in the 2nd octave.I was simply referring 2 the fact tht most people view woman with voices like hers 2 be Alto/Contraltos bc of the initial power & darkness of tone. "Clearly," U didn read all the other posts or ur comprehension is not up 2 par. Thanx 4 tryn tho. Failed!!

  • Jennifer Hudson is a SOPRANO!!..the type is dramatic coloratura..If J-Hud isn't a soprano then i dont know who could be.

  • Coloratura? I don't think so. She don't have that much agility. Soprano, yes.

  • coloratura lmao who said that ?????!!!!!!

    no way in hell jhud is a coloratura

    regaurdless of her lack of agility, she doesnt even have a decent falsetto register

  • @xBEYONCExSASHAx she has a nicce strong falsetto she jus doesnt use it that often

  • @ThaRealMckoy3 check out somewhere over the rainbom jen uses it a few times

  • Well based on the mere fact that she can move through her 3 different types of voical range she has exemplifies that.She can sing in her low middle and upper register with ease.Powerfu!! However everyone is entitled to their own option.

  • Jen's voice is so dark and heavy way too heavy to be a soprano. what shocks me about her range is she can only go down to an F3??? i EXPECTED ATLEAST A C3 if now a Bb2 this girl has some vocal weight.lol

  • Her real vocal range is Eb3 to C6 all in chest.

  • when she first came out i was so jealous lol her voice is perfection!

  • is she a dramatic mezzosoprano?

  • I don't think so. She's not a mezzo definitively. She's more a soprano, is not because she can hit C6, NO, it's because she's more comfortable in a higher zone!

  • yeah but i mean she still can't hit soprano c and i just found out that she's more comfortable in a higher zone like you said and in fact i don't think she can be a mezzo cause her lower range is not the most powerful or resonant so i think you're right

  • She herself said that she's a Soprano.

  • cN YHU PLZ CREATE A VOCAL VID FOR FANTASIA MAN

  • whats the song at her 2nd F5 and the 1st Bb5?

  • Comment removed

  • "Love you I do" for F5 and "Move" for Bb5 both songs from the Dreamgirls movie.

  • thanks, iv been trying to find that Bb5.

  • How many octaves is this?

  • About 3.

  • there is a B5 on and I'm telling you from chest

  • in another video it was 2.8 octaves, and she hit a C6 in full voice

  • So whats her range???

  • She is Amazing Wow

  • DAMNN!!! To Me, She Has More Power Than Whitney And More Range.... Niikka's Betta Not Jump On Me For One Comment!

  • Umm mid range Whitney has more power than Jen, but Jennifer does have a bigger Chest range than Whitney. But overall Whitney has more range

  • now i know she has more range than that..ive read allot of things on her voice....she hits th 6th octave notes in full voice...

  • whats the song from 1:46 to 1:57 or the song she hits the a5

  • 1. Dreamgirls

    2. We Gon' Fight

  • i love this woman! she's H U G E the best belter of our generation (imo) i'm sure she can go lower hmm maybe C3 and go up to C#6! and she slightly hit a C6 in her B5 (belt) i love her (:

  • I did a live range vid for her, and she has 3 C6 belts live

  • Yep Jennifer is a Soprano my friend has twitter and I asked her to contact J hud and ask what her vocal fach is she said Soprano. So I dont expect her to get low anytime soon.

  • What Kind of Soprano?

  • Dramatic Soprano.

  • T2luvs, are you serious? Yes, she is a Soprano.

  • huh? what are you talking about?

  • The twitter thing you were talking about.

  • Yes my friend asked her if she were a soprano and what type. J Hud said she was a Dramatic Soprano

  • A bunch of sites say she is a Contralto. I know she doesn't have that timbre and isn't comfortable hitting the low notes.

  • Dont trust those phony vocal sites. They've given some of the weirdest classifcations to various singers

  • I don't believe them, really. I hear the colours, shapes and textures of a voice. Well, we all try, don't we?

  • Yep we try. But we arent always right.

  • She doesn't have much going when she sings the low notes. Did you know she sang Alto in Dreamgirls?

  • I didnt know that. But considering how weak her lower range is we wouldnt have heard her anyhow. She's a Soprano plain and simple. Her main problem is she lacks control in the upper register and goes all over the place live.

  • I would call her a Spinto Soprano because she doesn't have dark qualities and her tessitura is not low enough. She still doesn't have strong texture to be a Dramatic Soprano. You can tell all that in the middle register. Yes, we can agree and tell she is a Soprano.

  • Really a Spinto? She doesnt really have a lyric quality to her voice at all. She sounds very dark to me.

    As a matter of fact when she debuted around the Dreamgirls Era ppl said she were an alto becuase she had a dark timbre to her voice and live she would attempt to hit high notes and fail miserably. They thought she was an alto belting out of her comfort zone

  • Alright.

  • So you agree?

  • I will.

  • Those notes are not in chest but in mix voice.

  • Oh yeah I know Jen mixes alot

  • Not always.

  • I remember her saying on Oprah that she find higher resgister to be the easiest for her to do. I hear how she's a true Soprano.

  • Yeah to bad Jenn is really inconsistent up there

  • yeah, but not necessarily lack of comfort but lack of fully understanding how to use her voice sometimes. So she tends to get pitchy at times.

    I have always seen trumpet potential with her voice, but I think she tries to do melismas like she's playing a sax and it don't work for her because she's not agile, her voice is too husky and broad. You know what I mean?

  • I agree she has no agility and her breathing is bad that makes it worse. Anytime she tackles a song thats fast she falls flat on her face. For example her version of Aretha's Think and her live versions of "All Dressed in Love" she struggles to stay with it and really doesnt have room to do much else with her voice.

    I dont see her as melisamatic her voice is TOO slow she probably wont be able to pull any tricky melismas ever. Thats why I think her voice is most suited to slow ballads ala IAC

  • Her version of Think was bad. The face on Aretha was priceless. LOL. She should stay away from MUCH melismatic phrasing. If I was her vocal teacher, I would remind her everyday to use her higher register as cresendos, never to run with them. She's not Karen Clarke Sheard. LOL.

  • lol right shes not Karen Clark or even Coko Clemons lol

    IMO the best song she did was "I Am Changing" she can at least do a live version that sounds close to the studio. Becuase AIATY isnt good live and sometimes she'll be off on ILID

  • And also, her cover of Natural Woman even though the mic was really bad. She placed her belts well. That's when she is at her best.

  • Yep becuase the songs alow her enough time to prepare so she wont rush each belt.

    She's not an Up-tempo or mid-tempo singer IMO. When she does those type of songs it like a giant in a mine field, a disaster.

  • jennifer needs to stop trying to runs and tricks with her voice once she goes beyond g5 because she doesgets pitchy ..

  • Right. I don't mind that even because she could use it to give big finishes but her voice don't have the agility to do runs like that.

    That's ok though because she's a dramatic voice and that's how it is with that. Broad, heavy, strong tone but not as agile. Good morning to you, BTW....

  • She might be a dramatic soprano like Anastacia or Monica Naranjo. They can hit notes just like Jennifer and have dark tones to their voices.

  • My question is how someone like J hud with such a dark voice cant go very low?

  • I KNOW. I ALWAYS QUESTION THAT. Its like Beyonce can sing lower than her. it should be the opposite

  • Ur right its funny ppl with higher and lighter voices ie (Aaliyah, Beyonce) can go WAY lower than Jen whose voice REALLy dark. That why It's hard to classify her as a mezzo or soprano. Her head voice isnt that great and her lower range is weak. Her voice is more complicated than it appears.

  • yea i know. Even full voice a5/B5 has diminished. LOL i cant put my finger on it

  • Jennifer is a full soprano. She has belted a C6 live, so her voice is higher than it seems. Her main focus is belting, that is what she does best. One of the best belters imo

  • i always wondered what a full soprano was. what is it?

  • you may be right I actually just watched a video of her singing and she used a bit of head voice and it seemed quite easy for her. I think she does focus more belting. Her Agility is bad so I guess she would belt more, but think shes a dramatic soprano not a full lyric one a shes too powerful to be a full lyric soprano.

  • What's the link of her C6? *-*

  • She has more head voice notes like on her unreleased song For Real. It was also displayed on One Night Only..

  • She can go lower than that! I guess this person just didn't pick good enough notes..

  • I checked her cds, and I picked the ones I could find. She is not a low singer, that is her vocal weakness
