Jennifer Hudson talks to Barbara Walters 2/25

[StandInVoidZones]

DID YOU IN A MILLION YEARS....... ever think this could happen......?

[southernmama1]

BTW does anyone have the entire interview and yes its just poor quality.  BOY BOY that weight loss made a hell of a difference

[southernmama1]

does anyone have the entire interview

[southernmama1]

who wants to be with someone that didnt treat you well. We dont know what happened in their relationship All we know for certain is ole girl has dropped weight. An A Lister actress and making movies has a baby she adores and a man. Whether or not it works. who knows. Hell its hard enough for us normal people to please these silly mofo's. I heard she's expecting again. I sort of hope not.. Not yet

[jackiedeff4]

terrible quality…..

[bmjw06]

Simply The Best

[neosoulfuljojo]

I love her!!!!!!

[llws88]

God Bless this voice!!!! Gosh....she just takes you to church when she sings....LOVE JHUD!!!!

[jrr1234567890]

i love how barbara walters says "you make me cry" when you don't see her shed a single tear from her eyes. Probably all those face lifts she's had has left her tear duct on the top of her cranium :P

[artgirl180]

@ jrr1234567890 - You just about made me die laughing at your comment. Thanks! :)

[jrr1234567890]

hehe glad you enjoyed ;)

[miyalashay]

she is my idol i love her to death she didnt have to win american idol because she is more sucesful than any winner in amercan idol i love her her number 1 fan ms. miya aka lil jhud

[MMCMediaJunkie]

Does she sound like she's shouting? I mean great actress but she's always shouting to me.

[RAGETME2000]

whatevera this girl is amazeing

[dachampishea]

It's called sAngin' ...

[Badazzchickyeah]

Christina

[Badazzchickyeah]

Sorry, but one stereotype that has to be true is, that black women that sing well sing better 99 % of the time than white women who sing well. As for other races, I dont know how they measure up to black women. There's only one woman that I can think of that is white (and she is only half white, half spanish) that sings as well as a black woman and that is Christian Aguilera that I can think of.

[maccamark01]

I think celine dion and kelly clarkson sing good too

[free2bfierce]

Oh yeah! Celine Dion can SAAANG her ass off! She has the most powerful voice I have ever heard actually!

[Mawasam]

whats up with all the white and black stuff no one discriminated her yet

[Badazzchickyeah]

OK so, simon tells her she's out of her league right, but is a huge fan of susan boyle???????? He's OUT OF HIS MIND! She sings WAY better than SUSAN BOYLE! No disrespect to susan but, she is a way better singer!

[villezlovrgrl666]

what a voice simon cowell is on crack!!!!

[cherita18]

A REAL SINGER can sing anytime you tell them not only when they warm up. She didn't make an excuse as to why she couldn't she just sang. True talent.

[TranCendenZ]

I agree. Jennifer Hudson is a fraud. She lip-synced at the Super Bowl. She's a no-talent like Ashlee Simpson. What kind of singer doesn't sing?

[cherita18]

I hope you didn't think i was saying that Jenny is a fraud. I was saying that she has true talent and can sing even when she is caught off guard. Everybody lip-syncs at least one time in their career. She was goin through alot. If she wants to lip-sync she can, she already proved to everyone that she can sing.

[TranCendenZ]

cherita18: When Jennifer Hudson had her biggest live audience at the Super Bowl, she made the decision to defraud that audience by lip-syncing. Do you have any idea how much tickets to the Super Bowl cost? What a ripoff! Watching lip-syncing is like watching a fixed football game. I'd demand a refund of my Super Bowl ticket.

[cherita18]

Oh what eva u didn't even go.

[TranCendenZ]

cherita18: I watched Jennifer Hudson's karaoke performance on TV, and I still feel cheated.

[MAL2BASIC]

Might I interject - You are aware that the SuperBowl producers ask singers to pre-record their performances...right?

[TranCendenZ]

MAL2BASIC: Producers also asked Milli Vanilli to lip sync. Those producers didn't hold guns to anyone's heads.

If ANYONE asks a musician to deceive the audience, then that musician should ALWAYS refuse to do it.

[MAL2BASIC]

How many times has she sang live vs this superbowl performance? So then, you have a gripe with Whitney, Beyonce, Fatih Hill, and so on re the same?

[TranCendenZ]

MAL2BASIC: Yes, I do have a gripe with ANY so-called singer who does not sing. They're more like actors pretending to be musicians.

They want to be called musicians, but they lip sync, don't write music, and don't play musical instruments.

[go4erfun]

don't be stupid. all singers HAVE to lipsync @ the superbowl. Whitney did it. the dixie chicks did it, and EVERYONE else did it. do your research before u make stupid comments.

[TranCendenZ]

go4erfun: I did my research, and Jennifer Hudson lip synced at everything (except for her first audition at American Idol). It's the same for ALL American Idol stars.

[antihenawhata34]

How do you know that?

[TranCendenZ]

antihenawhata34: How do I know what? You can Google "American Idol" and "lip sync" to learn about how those contestants are frauds after their auditions.

[antihenawhata34]

Pfttt, you don't know if that's true of not, the net doesn't always talk da truth. Come on, EVERY single performance? That's bullshit.

[antihenawhata34]

and you can tell by the lip movement that they're are singing. Why would they be allowed to lip sync on a show? People worldwide look up to them. Sheesh.

[TranCendenZ]

antihenawhata34: They lip sync because it sounds better when it's recorded in a studio.

[antihenawhata34]

...I know what lip syncing is, they didn't use the recorded version.

[ashanjj]

she laugh loud as hell...lol, but she so down to Earth!

[lilchuy01]

she is the ultimate cinderella story

[nicoyanicoya]

so does anyone know why jennifer hudson broke up with her ex?was he bad boyfriend?

[dlatreset]

He was a maintenance worker who hadn't proposed after 7 years. Take a guess.

[bigpoppa2221]

They broke up a LONGGG time ago...and now she's engaged to "punk" from I love new york 2.hahaha. Guess he was a star f*cker.

[passion8poetess]

Funny how now she is engaged to someone else ...

[muddaglover2]

@musze1---We dont know if Hollywood changed her or not...she could have possibly what she felt @ that moment...No one really & truly knows what went on between the 2 of them...according to her song he was extremely insecure. Remember she's only in her 20's ...

Lovely girl and appears to have a wonderful spirit...I dont blame her because she was a child when she started dating him..hopefully the friendship is in tact

[musze1]

well she did leave her longtime boyfriend for someone new. Boy fame always changes people. I thought she was so grounded but she is being taken in by all the glitz and glamour. Dont have time for the maintenance engineer anymore.

[DiscoWilliams817]

That's not the case!She is very much grounded and silly as they come wit her crazy self.But trust me!It was just time 4 a change nothing against her Ex

[MAL2BASIC]

How does her split from her ex indicate a change in her character?

[IAmUnique678]

it doesn't the only people who think that are idiots... and NO ONE on here knows why.. But that is the past and does not matter.. DAvid takes good care of her and that is what matters..

[go4erfun]

when u r a disney cruise singer having a boyfriend who does maintenance isn't such a big deal. But when u become a super star, beging winning awards and an oscar, be on the cover of vogue,, the total change in your life and career can make it hard in a relationship.

[oasis3505]

@musze1 You don't even know why they broke up you are just making stuff up to make her look bad. Shame on u.

[muddaglover2]

does anyone have the entire interview? if so could you please post

[PadrethePio]

Barbara Walters is a whore.

[lovindays]

Love her, so glad she won

[EduCamargo]

Undoubtly Jennifer Hudson was the best thing ever in this entertainment world. At least we can feel the same emotion that our fathers felt when they saw Aretha and many others sharing their souls. We love you, Jennifer. Thanks for keeping the music flowing.

[heavenwilliamson]

does anyone know the name of the song she sung for barbara

[musicaltheatergeek79]

It's called... wait for it... "Dreamgirls." Funny, isn't it?

[DaEnviedOne]

hahah

[Linogq]

Yup it had the same effect.

[Linogq]

Honestly when I saw this live, chills ran down my spine, it was kinda spooky, no I'm gonna watch it again to see if it has the same effect.

[CharleyK4]

True talent...Not just her fantastic voice,She lit up the screen even when she wasn't singing. Granted it was a great part, but I hope as much attention is paid to her acting career as her singing. That is why she won the Oscar, not just the singing. The Oscars were on my birthday and I was so happy I got my wish...

[dustee]

WOW, Barbara Walters has named Jennifer one of the ten most fascinating people of 2007.

[ashtonbrown2007]

Simon Had to Eat Those Words lol

[shayna010]

She gave meeh chills when she sung for Barbara...yea i agree wit kgordon22586-i luv how REAL she is too!!

I Luv Yooh Jen!!

[kgordon22586]

i love how she is sooo real and stays true to herself .. when she was singing i was almost in tears because those words are so true for her!!

[green10715]

God sounds Just Like This.  Amen.

[QueenMochaJava]

this woman sings so beautifully it sounds like she being accompanied by an orchersta even doing accapella

[RSDjam17]

its almost her b-day. happy early birthday jennifer. we luv u gurl

[RSDjam17]

srry, i made some errors in my comment. ok, i sed "word" i meant "world" and also "could" should be "couldn't". just to make u kno. aight. yea and another thing, i am soooooooo glad jennifer got that role

[RSDjam17]

u kno listening to this, i never really heard exactly what simon sed to jennifer but now listening to it, its like, ur talkin to the girl who blew the word away in dreamgirls. and then he sed she could be better than any1 else, she's like the baddest chick out there right now. its just weird but the same time very inspiring. not simon, jennifer

[kaiputi00]

shame on simon lol

[sourcheesepringles]

simon didn't eliminate her stupid.. its the people who are deciding thru vote.. duh?

[shayna010]

I luv Jennifer!

[Claireelle]

simon is such a shallow stereotypical dick, he shud go shuv his head up his asshole and check out the view for a while.

[lynnpwilliams]

This just PROVES Simon is not the ALMIGHTY talented judge he thinks he is. He's ok, but he DEFINITELY missed the boat on this one. Jennifer is SUPER talented and BEAUTIFUL inside and out!

[wierdlycharmed]

OOOOOOOOOOOOO and simon was so out of line. That was so cruel and I bet u that ha was talking about her weight. Listen to me simon she is NOT fat, she just has a figure. So get over it simon shes not a stick, I'm not a stick either so power to the big ppl. And just as Jhud said it is not being fat it is being thick. Amen 2 that.

[wierdlycharmed]

OMG Jhud is so talented! When Barbara asked her 2 sing 4 her she sang w/o any hesitation and she sang it beautifully. Oh and that pic of her as a little kid: so cute.

[Big14OB]

lol..ok she just cleared her throat and went to town

[MusicByBrandy23]

i love jenn

[lexiet1]

why u have to be small to be pretty....i know alot of ugly skinny chicks

[wierdlycharmed]

hahaha. And u don't have 2 be small 2 b pretty in my opinion sometimes other people judge but it doesn't matter what they say.

[nanayaa60]

shes soo prety 4 a big woman

[kgordon22586]

what does that mean pretty for a big woman? .. just because youre big youre automaticlly ugly? .. what a stupid idiot

[nanayaa60]

i dint mean that in a bad way

[MusicByBrandy23]

...speechless i get sooo emotional when i see how effie was done in the movie and even thinkin about florence. its not fair to take someones dream to fulfill somebody elses dream and for it to devastate that person to kill themself. Jhud is such an inspiration and im like Barbara Walters she makes me cry when she sings becuz shes like an angel it comes from nowhere..JHUD good luck ur the best

[wierdlycharmed]

OMG me 2. When I saw the movie dreamgirls I actually got all teary eyed because of the way Jennifer Hudson sang. She sang with so much soul, I love soul. And the way they put Effie in the back, meanwhile she had the real voice I felt for her and it made it even more emotional because of the fact that it was based on a true story like you said. I luv Jhud.

[sexybmorecutie]

AWESOME GURL!

[kamthewire]

her singing voice in dreamgirls was awesome and she is a wonderul singer.

her acting i thought was just so-so in a so-so movie. if you want to see "dreamgirls" go see it on stage.

[RAGETME2000]

shut up so so lol

[RAGETME2000]

dont listen this idot dreamgirls is a great movie the stage is great also but if effie cant sing like jennifer holliday r jhud trust me it will suck

[TrCg8hb]

if anyone wanted to know the first song she sings from Big River is How Blest We Are. she tore it UP!

[HarMoNeY89]

Man this REALLY IS a very touching interview..I see God shining thru Jennifer & I can tell she is ginuine & she deserves everything that has been given to her in these past 3 years..Wow.i cant believe how she looked as a KiD! Man!..she truely is a beautiful woman.inside&out! God Bless HER!(im Crying for u Jen!)

[vanessaboy7532]

Nice to see someone with talent and class in front of the camera every now and then.

[enkii82]

5:35-5:45

Can someone tell what did she sing? btw, is that a real song she sings in an album, whats the name?

[perryrico]

Its the Dreamgirl finale track. She's singing a slower version of the Dreamgirls theme sung by Beyonce earlier in the movie.

[supersexychic]

What is the name of the song cuz i can't find it?

[enkii82]

Song: Dreamgirls (Finale) Lyrics

DEENA:

Every man has his own special dream

And your dream's just about to come true

[tedunca]

Jennifer just has the best attitude throughout the entire interview. She smiles the entire time and when requested to sing, she does at the drop of a hat!! She knows she has talent and is completely humble about it. Shes wonderful

[dancewavez]

SHE is talented,she really deserves everything she wishes for.she is soo down to earth and i do hope fame and fortune dont get the better of her.stay the way u are coz ur FAB!!!
