  • @MrJgordon96 1.) PLEASE explain how my comment is racist

    2.) I never said anything about disliking this performance, I loved just as much as you probably did

    3.) this is the internet, I don't have to spell anything the right way if you obviously understood everything I wrote

  • You sound silly comparing Jennifer with Beyoncé. Their voices are so different, yet they're both amazing.

  • How can anyone dislike this showcase of incredible vocal talent from an Oscar winner, 2 Grammy Winners and a Tony Award winner?

  • Just to let yall know Jennifer put it down! And Anika hit a that note higher than Beyonce!

  • Dang how did I miss this! When was this?

  • @MissAblue676792 years ago at the oscars for dream girls

  • Can't decide which dress is the prettiest... want them all!!!

  • who is the black guy singing with Anika ?

  • @OMGizzlex3 HIS NAME IS KEITH ROBINSON...HE PLAYED C.C. WHITE (EFFIES BROTHER) IN THE MOVIE

  • actually beyonce has more power than jennifer you heard it on that F5 and dont say they turned up her mic because they didnt

  • Love dis video good job cazeterow,kip up d gud work.jennifer,beyonce and anika wow just dont believe their voices.wuld love to see dem sing together live.

  • 5:07.. wish I had these 3 as back-ground singers -.-

  • ok...each one is STELLAR!!! I don't understand why you've put every note they're hitting on you video... C's, D's, E's, F's, that shit is easy, for just about anyone, un-trainted, trained.....all of the above. Show me some G,A,B,C at full or mix belt then I'll start understanding why you're labeling what they're singing.

  • Beyonce shakes every time she sings, Singing seems so easy for Jennifer !

  • @IVANNA848 i agree,,

  • @IVANNA848 child please

  • @CKFIERCE1 Im not a vocalist, but I love Beyonces voice, btw..Im 27...child..

  • @IVANNA848 It's called Vibrato if you were a vocalist you'd understand

  • BEYONCE IS THE VOICE OF OUR GENERATION I MEAN DID U SEE THAT LISTEN PERFORMANCE

    THATS SOMETHING JHUD OR ANIKA COULD NOT DO

    CAUSE THEIR VOICE IS NOT VERSATILE ENOUGH

    BEYONCE CAN DO ANY GENRE

    AND THAT IS KEY

  • @mecani500 No she can not!!

  • I love the way Anika Noni Rose keep it simple... And it seems like an easy thing to do, although it's not.

  • jennifer hudson is "the voice" of our time...even legendary whitney houston (r.i.p) ssay that so how can yall say she oversings?? beyonce does too and so does anika...so mr vote is = alll do equally very well but jhud rang supreme...when beyonce and jhud sing together on 1:36 you dont hear bee at all..much props to bee being the entertainer and anika being a wonderful actress...but jhud is the voice

  • I love the way JH's belts have a gooey, rubber band quality like at 1:52. She opens up that throat and the note envelops you.

  • Beyonce.... All the way...

  • THEY WERE ALL GREAT! WHAT SOME OF YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND IS, THERE IS FOUR TYPES OF VOICES ON THAT STAGE ,WHICH MAKES THEM ALL UNIQUE. SO STOP THE COMPARISON!!!

  • they are all great singers the one i don't think gets enough credit is Anika she is awesome in the movie and her voice is incredible. but i agree with not comparing them they are all FANTASTIC

  • i remember thinking jennifer was better at the time. but i dont now, beyonce blew her out the water. jennifer over sang it.

  • damn beyonce looked fine there

  • While everyone on here is comparing Beyonce, Anika and Jennifer, I'm focusing on Keith Robinson (CC in the film). His voice is beautiful. He's not even credited in this video as he should be. Very underrated.

  • 1:10 when beyonce comes in and they both sing together! oh my! had to rewind that bit like a million times! one of the best performances i have ever seen! love beyonce!

  • there was so many runs in this performance it was like a high school track meet.

  • @KyleOgilvie1 LMFAO! love this comment.

  • B didn't show off or try to upstage any of the others, unlike Anika and Jan.

  • @TheDanradcliffe Thank you 

  • Sannnnng Anika!!!

  • To everyone saying that Beyonce doesn't have a great voice....are you deaf?

  • @RubberSquiddy haha right it's like where you been at?

  • LMAOO B killed Jhud at 1:12 without screaming JUST resonace holding the note

  • beyone tone is horrible,plan,boring and basic...she can have technique but she dont have soul

    Thats why artist luike whitney,christina aguilera,celine,mariah are legends and real voices..they sings whit the heart, and her tones are beautiful

    Beyonka is just basic bitch

  • @gonzalete15 You can't even spell or use proper grammar. That just screams that you are, in fact, the basic bitch. Just sayin'.

  • @gonzalete15 Look bro 1) They Both did Great

    2) You need to "Listen" to what she does she can hit notes that will make you go insane

    3) Stop Comparing Each artist has their own taste

    4) Don't call anyone a Bitch unless you read ure own comment

  • now tht jennifer has lost weight put them together now, beyonce will kill her lol

  • i would love to see them sing this now with jennifer all sexy lol

  • I LOVE IT WEN BEYONCE JOINS IN AT 1:10 THUMBS UP IF U AGREE

  • An who's has the Oscar lol o yeah Jen do sorry Beyonce...i have every award you can think of lol

  • Loving Anika's dress though..

  • Comment removed

  • beyonce sounds better

  • beyonce sings so much bether listen than jennifer hundson did.... i liKe J-H but she scream so much in her songs... and anika WTF was that at the end?!

  • Jennifer Hudson completely controlled this performance...i barely here beyonce..you all are all beyonce fans thats why yall say them..and all of them stayed classy...its not like rihanna is performing at the oscars...people call jenn and anika screaming...i call it soul...

  • Yes Beyonce!! Hit them notes!!!

  • its always funny how , j-hud says "listun" and beyonce says "listen"

  • I love them all. They all sing good.. Beyonces control I outta this world and she sings alot clearer and stronger then anika n jen. Shes the best vocalist..

  • Although the C6 (if it is one) adds an interesting note at the end, the run to that C6 is horrendous and quite frankly off pitch at some points. Overall Jennifer is simply unbelievable as a vocalist (a rare deep powerful voice with an amazing range). What's working on Beyonce's favor here is her experience since she has been much more exposed to the show business.

  • omg thumbs up for Beyonce staying classy at then end...seriously Anika, this is the Oscars, NO ONE wants to hear you screaming!

  • SANG IT ANIKA GIRL!!!!

  • LMFAO @ Beyonce overpowering Jennifer Hudson when they both hit that F5. The result of having great resonance and just being shouty and loud.

  • @DatBitch009 SO TRUE

  • LOL Beyonce is like PLS BITCH! I'm a star.

  • Beyonce. Nuff said.

  • @DACNewsNetwork um hello. . I'll point out 1 moment where beyonce was not into the perormance at all and to busy worying about her hair. that moment is at 2:05 where she starts listen, giving no emotion, or intrest in the crowd and stops to fix her fukin hair.

  • @lilshawtybigsecrets SHE STOPS SINGING WHEN THE OTHERS SUNG TOGETHER .... i COULD NOT HEAR HER VOICE AT ALL .... not news for me ...

  • I cried

  • This is just perfect.

  • Wait No 6:06

  • 6:09 ... Just Go To It xD

  • beyonce was enjoying it lol

  • That C6 was so fucking incredible

  • Jennifers voice's is so fucking anoying!!!!

  • bottom line jennifer(the voice) ran this performance and that just being honest and not favoring anyone. she really did.

  • Ok let me set it str8 I love all three women. They all have very diffrent styles, but jennifer was the star hear. Beyonce did hold back a lot and kept it classy but this is the oscars. This is why she did not win, she is too busy trying to look pretty and better than everyone that she actually didn't outshine anyone. I apprciate it because this was jennifer's spot light and her first real performance and she had alot to prove. Anika has range but that only gets you so far. Jen has power & range.

  • @lilshawtybigsecrets SO ignorant. Are you serious? "too busy trying to look pretty/better than everyone"??? Really, Like how is that even possible. I want you to give me an example.Are you referring to the SCREAMING match that Anika & Jen had toward the end?What part? I want the exact time frame where you LITERALLY thought in your mind that B said to herself "Let me look pretty/better than everyone". Also, you contradicted yourself in your comment, but I'm running out of letters to point it out

  • THANK YOU!! THE WHOLE PERFORMANCE!! I was getting pissed at how I was only finding only clips of Jennifer Hudson and Beyonce. It wasn't just them!

  • My god Beyonce O>O She's like a goddes here

  • beyonce and anika have a little cute voices but jennifer damm.

  • yall r so stupiud...its clear that jennifer hudson outshined them alll...i love beyonce and anika...but jennifer hudson voice is "the voice" of our time...beyonce and anika got powerful voices but jennifer hudson's voice is just bigg...and beyonce also screams while she sings so that doesn't count...AND IM TELLING YOU...THAT JENNIFER IS STAYING(IN JENNIFER HUDSON'S VOICE) LOLOL

  • Toooooooo amazing!! I love these women!!! They are too fabulous. I enjoyed the whole performance. Now this is talent

  • The control Beyoncé has over her voice is what puts her head and shoulders above the other two in my opinion. I think sometimes Jennifer over sings and screams too much. They're all great though.

  • @Cookies7694 'Control', Smatrol!! Easy to have 'control' when u lack the rang, or power of others!!

  • @Thkmra Actually fyi, Beyonce has a wider range than Jennifer Hudson(Jen's is 3.1 Octaves, Beyonce's is 3.5) And the reason Beyonce has Beyonce has better control is because girls like Jennifer Hudson, Christina Aguilera who have naturally big voices don't bother to develop their technique beyond that. They may have great voices, but Beyonce is twice the vocalist they are and probably ever will be in terms of technique, phrasing, and so on.

  • @IRunLA69 thank you someone who is finally using their ears i love jennifer hudson but she doesnt know how to hone in her instrument ppl give beyonce crap saying her voice is weak and she is only a pretty face beyonces voice is better.

  • @IRunLA69 B had a big voic e as kid too she just got better and better true Traiining just like OPlympia etc....Like there is an interview where kelly and her music producer etc kim speas about her voice nd kelly says it was much mor epowerful then hers and kim B could hit an perfect octave pitch etc

  • I always wondered.....

    WHY did home boy hit that note AFTER the music was done?

  • B was so classy! When Anika and JHud were showing off by the end, B just let them go, and reigned in her power. Great job.

  • Actually ! Beyonce is great here-everyone gives Jhud so muchmore props but Queen B- has a more appealing and versatile voice!

  • Jennifer did great but was kinda yelling.. Anika did amazing.. Beyonce was oustanding

  • WOOOO when Beyonce came in at 1:10

  • jhudson and anika seem like they're trying too hard to outsing everyone else.

  • vocal range is not the most important thing. It became a mess of voices, one wanting to go further than the other. Only Beyonce behaved? -_-'

  • i think jhudson is those i'll go for it singer where as beyonce is just those who manage to control, i love both :)

  • this is AMAZING! unbelievable!

  • ANIKA KILLED IT AT THE END!!! I WAS NOT EXPECTIN THAT! LOL

  • And I just gotta say, Anika's sustained C was so damn good. As a guy, I think i have a good falsetto, and I could barely do that note in my falsetto range. and she did it in her head voice. WTF? AMAZING!!

  • @5450daniel well... your a guy lol! But she did it in mixed voice though not just regular head voice

  • Jennifer's voice has no control... It gets kind of annoying, really... Beyonce and Anita show much more control in their voice.

  • @Weini18 she's more of a gospel singer. they tend to go more over the top with their vocal techniques. i've heard a lot of jennifer's performances and she has really good vocal control. maybe not so much in this performance, but others were amazing.

  • jennifer has got the voice id love to hear her sing listen fully

  • 1:11 fuckin LOV when beyonce joins with the voice lol

  • jennifer hudson is just screaming... it's irritating my ears!

  • @bluedz1994 she has a powerfull voice ....compared to beyonce and anika....but i love beyonce more lol

  • they were all good to me. im used to Jennifer's screaming even tho she could learn to control it a bit more but its hard to control such a powerful voice like that. Anika's, coming from broadway, has more control over her voice and its silky smooth. i just love the way she gets up to her C6 effortlessly (i think she has the widest vocal range-my opinion until proven otherwise)! And sometimes i forget Beyonce can sing like this but she held her own. they should all do a song together again

  • beyonce is the fiercest among them all!

  • I don't know how in the heck people on here think beyonce was the better sing when she got shitted on even on her own song. As soon as jennifer started singing listen she didn't need help beyonce should have took notes

  • oh dear.. that poor old man!! beyonce rules! and go the rest of them, they all rocked!

  • from 6:09 look at Kate blanchet...looks like shes trying to block her ears lol

  • I'm just glad to see 3 beautiful women who can sing not "beefing" with each other.

  • I remember this performance like it was yesterday. I winced through it because they all were doing too much. Trying to out sing each other...embarrassing and pitiful.

  • Who's the guy singing?

  • @JARighteous hes the fela in dreamgirls with them

  • This was a fantastic performance from all three girls. Jennifer Hudson is certainly my favourite, however.

  • The last part was annoying... three women trying hard to go higher and higher, as if vocal range was the most important thing. I just notice that Beyonce (between Jennifer and Anika) seemed to have vanished.

  • @Quana1965 no...BERYONCE SHOWED TRUE ELEGANCCE

  • @itsMUSICY - Beyonce is a asinger, not a model... she should show some personality and voice, not "elegance" XD AHAHAHAH!!!

  • B my girl !!!

  • Jennifer started out off pitch she got it together though.

  • Listen to how thin Jennifers voice is compared to Beyonce. Beyonce drowns her on that F5

  • I'm sorry but Beyonce exerted elegance and class. Those other two were str8 up screamin at the end! NEWSFLASH...this is the OSCARS! They don't wanna hear that mess. Jennifer has no control, she just goes! Anika has notes...but she kinda lost it here. B was hands down the star of this performance.

  • @civicplayer omw thank you for saying what i was thinking

  • @civicplayer Class= not having a powerful enough voice, ok!!

  • @Thkmra Beyonce's voice is very powerful! She was still finding her power at this time. By the time she played Etta James, she had found her inner growl! Even so, she has CONTROL of what she does.

  • @civicplayer

    Beyonce has a small voice but her vibrato is so intact that it just keeps improving. Naturally her voice isn't powerful but her technique makes up for it.

  • @civicplayer What are you insane really !!!!

  • @jamirdobson Insane because I know when I hear shouting vs. singing?!?!? Ok.

  • @civicplayer sure u doo!!! that so called screamin and shouting u call i call soul and wonderul vocal range

  • @civicplayer Please stop comparing performers, it's ridiculous! They all did a great job. Jeez!

  • @plasticbrook Oh I'm sorry...I thought this was youtube! What was I thinking? How dare I share my opinion. :)

  • @civicplayer There's a fine line between opinion and putting something/someone down. Obviously, you're a Beyonce fan...great! But to say the other girls were screaming the song sounds more like a put down than an opinion. Jennifer and Onika may not be your taste of performers but they can sing, give them their props...that's all I'm saying. Everyone on that stage has talent (period).

  • @plasticbrook I'm a fan of ALL 3! I've loved Jennifer since AI, and I knew of Anika loooong before any movie roles were offered to her. All three are talented, but my opinion is the same. Beyonce has the "X Factor", so to speak. She knows how to do a lot, without doing too much. I won't dare say Beyonce has the BEST voice of the 3...in my opinion Anika has the BEST voice, but for THIS PARTICULAR performance, Beyonce stood out as the pro. :)

  • @plasticbrook thank you thank you you obviously can tell what real singing is

  • @civicplayer

    I agreed with your point.

  • am just woweddddddddddd

    

  • i've been a die hard fan of beyonce for ever but in this performance i can't really say who was the best...they all were the best equally...beyonce didnt out shine anyone...anika kilt that at the end...so did beyonce...so did jennifer.

  • i think we can all agree that these three women is toxic, eargasmic and sensual. Anika, girl can sing. damn. JHud. do i even need to say anything. and lastly Beyonce <3 nuff said.

  • why does every black song end with a church choir sing-along.... its kind of stereotypical at this point.

  • but wait. WHO TOLD ANIKA?!

  • Beyonce is a true performer! They may be people out there who can sing better..who's to say...the point is that she has star quality. She can do it all sing and dance. She is loved by people all over the world. If you love her great if you dont just dont buy her CD. Trust me it wont affect her in any way! All Hail King B ;)

  • anoni is a perfect broadway singer! i didn't kno about her til Dreamgirls and then i did research. and she was perfect for The Princess and the Frog, she brought that Tianna character to life and the songs sounded like another disney Broadway show waiting to happen!

  • WHEN WAS THIS?

  • Anika DESTROYED Beyonce and Jennifer. Sorry but it's the truth

  • @lostchild06 Beyoce hold back she didnt even try hard

  • @beyonceboy100 Lol we have all heard Beyonce's voice solo when she's going all out. Nothing special. The statement still stands, Anika not only snatched their wigs but she scalped Beyonce and Jennifer and used them to cleanthe floor with those last notes.

  • @lostchild06 ict she holdet back that little triger face anika Tried er best u can see when the all ing together...beyonce isnt doing nothing she just holding back...and this is back 2006 ago...Bs voice grew alot beyonce could if she wanted

  • @beyonceboy100 She's not better than Anika, though. I have heard Beyonce now, she is again... nothing special. Yeah, she has control but so does Anika (and better since she is classically trained and you can hear that). Anika can hit notes with chest voice that Beyonce WISHES she could but never will.

  • @lostchild06 Beyonce can go deep where Anika never could go...beyonce has a vibrato anika never will had beyonce has an amazing falsetto...and has control so she doesnt sound all over the place an shouty like anika does....beyonce isnt speciel LMAo...well then anika is less less - speciel....

  • @beyonceboy100 Haha oh please! Girl, you can't even spell 'special' right, so you can go somewhere lol. Anika is more vocally trained than Beyonce and that is very evident. Anika can sing notes that Beyonce can't, and can go as low, which is just sad in Beyonce's part. Beyonce is so famous yet she couldnt even squeeze herself in The Best Voices of all Time list by Rolling Stone magazine. Xtina was there, Mary J. was there, where was beyonce at? Why didnt Disney call her to play Tiana? Exactly.

  • @lostchild06 Dont come to me with strain tina...lmao beyonce dont play no name rolles...why is anika aint playing A STAR IS BORN 2012 directet by Clint eastwood she wished B will HAVE A SEAT...beyonce is WW KNOWN ANIKA HAHA NO..And can hit notes anika cant....abd dummy she was listet on the rollingstones list get your facts straight

  • @beyonceboy100 Omg lmao first of all, no she was not on the Best Voices of all time. See you lost all credibility right there with that ignorant statement. You can look for that yourself. Google it, Xtina was the youngest person listed and Beyonce is younger than Xtina, so no. Haha damn Beyonce stans are so delusional they will even make shit up. lmao Look carefully, Beyonce was not listed. Strain Tina? lmao bitch please, Xtina can sing circles around Beyonce and has proven to do that. FACT

  • @lostchild06 Bitch please, STRAINTINA sounds a fucking mess and will NEVER be on Beyonces level or show her face at the Oscars.

  • @SatellitesATRL Lmao Straintina sounds like such a mess she was in the greatest voices of all time list yet Beyonce was no where to be found on that list...damn Xtina really sucks! hahahaha you can go on somewhere with your lack of logic.

  • 4 people missed the like button after beyonce and jennifer growled together....

  • I don't think people much care care what notes they're singing....

  • Jhud and Anika wanted to proof soething to the crowd BEYONCE hldet back smilling knowing she could kill(and she was sick that night)

  • Beyonce was not evan trieng lol she to mature and nice

  • wow i mean this guy held his own in the midst of the crazy vocals from these amazing trio

  • Comment removed

  • @CameronWrightTV Gott be kiddin me!! If anyone was screaming it was Beyonce!! She has the LEAST power out of all of them!!

  • Jennifer made beyonce's neck veins pop out because she knew she could not hang with the power, soon as Jen took over "listen" beyonce should have sat down

  • Ok for the high C! Work Anika! All three of these women are vocal beasts with their own strengths. I love it!

  • i love how you post the notes as they being hit lol.

  • they work good together. thats how they wanted it
