[Beto246]

The judges didn´t kick her off. It Were the people who voted her off.

[danzmay07]

wtf are the judges saying!!

GREAT PERFORMANCE!!!!

[themavsfan1992]

Is it just me or was Jennifer Hudson sexier when she was thick.

[t2thed1113]

[stevecitano]

[LayefasWave]

type in Layefa's wave summerjoy

[Lillybudsable]

That is one season they all got it wrong! Even Simon! I bet they are so whacked and wondering what they were on when they did all that to her that season! Severs them right!

[Fattyyy01]

[DeeVine]

Jennifer was above this show, God had a better plan for her! :)

[elvickRULES]

She's better than AI. Glad she didn't win, just proof that you don't NEED to win this popularity contest to actually make it. I love Jennifer Hudson and she's doing great for yourself.

[realpassion95]

this makes me sad tho cause her mum is at the front,

what amazing women jennifer your amazing i hope you know that

[itsanawesomeguy]

yuck i hate fat women..so ugly

[realpassion95]

@itsanawesomeguy well erm what are you watching cause iknow she aint fat

[TheAniaam]

@itsanawesomeguy - I am sure you hate yourself too!!!

[docrichie9]

@itsanawesomeguy

MORON!!

[PierreKEV]

Why she had not won ?

[yayamyhat]

she went to american idol to dream girls and other movies to commercials to skinny to famous and always beatiful.

[originalblerd]

american idol judges sure know how to pick 'em cause she went above and beyond in terms of success. you can say what you want about them but they know talent when they see it.

[Starr9889]

u put tears in my eyes....i love u n i am so proud of u

[oldbitty100]

AMAZING VOICE!!!! I GOT CHILLS WHEN I HEARD THE SONG. BEAUTIFUL SONG AS WELL

[ty2]

Seacrest looks like a dweeb straight out of the 70's.

[Rachewable]

"wish me luck" looks like she doesnt need luck any more

[SuperTornado2212]

Paula gets prettier....????

Thanks to plastic cirgury she is getting prettier and prettier!!

[AznVi3tx]

Paula just gets prettier and prettier

[doxendine68]

her accent has changed on this show sooooooo british ..low case

[14Nenabella]

Holy moly that is not a big audience!

[relly1on11]

look how smal the stage use to be wow how time flies

[xlovelyx0208]

@relly1on11 The stage has always been that small for the elimination shows leading upto the live shows.

[missvicki1995]

Who won in this season, i know she came 7th place right? i cant believe she did n't win this !!

[rashard418]

@missvicki1995 fantasia won

[XxRednBlackxX]

@missvicki1995 Fantasia i think.

[shinyystars]

she is trying so hard to not shout in the song..xP

[pearpeas]

If there ever a stupid comment by a judge it was Randy's.. like really?

[AsmaOlrunSvanhvit]

heheheh Simon !!!! :D

[rustydevilll]

lmfao i bet paula feels like a dick now telling her not to shout LOOK AT JENNIFER NOW.

[MrJDurao]

Best version ! :D

[derrickss100]

beautiful voice..

[clclclaudia]

she changed a lot, look her now

[webes1000]

Voz maravilhosa!

[NABEHS]

what is this song called???



[MusicianKing8]

@NABEHS You don't know this song? :O, that's not good! It's called Imagine by John Lennon

[shurka26]

I do like the Beatles version so much more,sorry ,I guess it's just my ears..

[joshua12345a]

the only female singer that brings me to tears

[trw1501]

CHILLS!

[Hennax00]

wonderful... :-)

[ishaAlease]

I was just telling my mom today that God had BETTER plans for her ! where is the person that won this season ? & where is Jennifer ? everywhere . We love you Jennifer !! Beautiful voice !

[dianamarlene27]

jajajajajaa rain was blond XDXDXD

[MrRaphal]

The woman won an Oscar. Good for her!

[Rotceev]

Even for perfect singers some songs don't fit, song may be good, but not that good. this is that case

[SuperTm13]

she is the best ever!! think about it

[VeeRazzles]

@AlfaFred16 Randy RUINED the show

[Consolatrix4]

she was beautiful like this. she shouldn't have lost weight and started to straighten her hair -.-

[WhyWasuhhpCrew]

@Consolatrix4 ...no she looks better now then before in this video

[Consolatrix4]

@WhyWasuhhpCrew that's what you think :)

[Missdansyn1]

And she didn't win???? Really?

[missyamommie12]

Power House!!!

[sweetlady0605]

she can sing like a mf"er

[MrDouchebag1987]

i think its funny how she use to make these blow out performances and randy would just be like eh it was aight and performances like these would have guaranteed her a win in the yrs prior and after this..to me still the best and most powerful voice the show as ever seen and i watch the show religiously!

[pawer2dapandas]

i love her funny pearsonality...

[lword1970]

randy is so biased against the black contestants - did u hear him - it was good but it didnt blow him away

[xxY2JLEDGENDKILLERxx]

she was actually voted off after this and the judges brought her back on the show...

[201011221]

there isn't one way to sing this song! c'mon, people, we all know that Sr.Lennon is brilliant but there's so many artists who sing this lovely.

[LonelyLonelyLoner]

honestly, i can never hear the difference in american idiol between the voices of the black ppl.

[chris181cj]

so sad to see her family in the audience :(

[TheManOfVeal]

I called the number!

They told me to "Fuck off".

I cried.

[grandcarriage1]

It's a total crime that they didn't give her enough time to really sing it.

[dastaylor]

She's come so so far!

[OtterAquafina]

she got better in this competition I remember, then when she became one of the best that season, there was the shocker week where Jennifer, Latoya, and Fantasia were all in the bottom 3 (American Idol at its best voting the wrong people off). Anyways, her losing was the best thing that could of happened to her, and Dream Girls man, did she work it out in that movie. Jennifer Hudson is a class act. Love her.

[MrJfam1]

type in "syllables response" the kid is killing it!!!!

[LILMAMAMAKIYAH]

She Needs Songs That Have Higher Vocals! It Really Brings Out Her Voice.

[jasminenr2]

her skin is so clear

[grandcarriage1]

I would like to hear her do this again now. I think it got a little over-blown toward the end, but I thought the beginning was brilliant. If she kept it more simple and honest, like the beginning, it would have been amazing. Sometimes less is more. The earthiness of her voice is really perfect for this song.

[crtnyevans]

back when Idol actually found talent..

[mitch0778]

When I first Saw Jenifer doing her american idol audition, i said to my wife, "that girl is gonna win the competition" and when she got butted i prayed that some one would snag her and give her a recording contrac.. well the rest is history. She is a Joy and will always be very dear to me even though i never meet her, but she touch my heart with her Voice and her Humility.  She can easily puta tear in my eye when she sings an emotional song. God Bless her.

[RandyGuardianz]

wow...

people said that this song is simple, just sing and you will hear the beautiful of this great song....

she do it much better, with improve and all make this song more beautiful...

[vanjane]

In Australia the 2nd place contestants have done much better than the winners after Idol.

[nottys92]

I dont like her breathing in this otherwise good

[sinisterkonata96]

it wasn't "imagine", but it was good, LOL

[mommasigma]

She looks like a cute little girl..

[finallyonenick1]

OMG WHAT A GREAT ARTIST! NOW WHO IS THE BLONDE GUY (THE HOST) SITTING NEXT TO HER AT THE END OF THE VIDEO...GOD HE IS SO FUCKING HOT!...

[Damdamluv]

seeing her mon here makes me sad. peace on earth pleaseeeeeee!~

[archie1688]

imagine there's no JENNIFER HUDSON? ITS HARD WHEN U TRY !

[rere2010ish]

oh my god the audience is so tiny O.O... i don't remember it ever being that small lol

[ChristinaL1234]

I LOVE HER VOICE! Best Singer I've Ever Heard On American Idol.

[BlackIsMyFavourite]

@ChristinaL1234 U got it wrong dude... actually the femalse singer on earth^^ think about it

[DarkSebastianAnki]

The crowd was weak. She has an amzing voice and she deserved more applause <3

[plunkorulez]

The piano player is playing the wrong notes, and also this song is not for gospel type singing it's supposed to be slow and low volumed. I don't mean to be hatin but I'm just sayin, that's my opinion

[madchronic]

How can you hate her. You can tell she's such a sweet girl

[madonnawhore]

Goosebumps! Love her!

[MsSparklesNGlitter]

i miss Simon on the show....he always gives props when it is deserved, he knew Jenn whould be a star and she did become one

[Mchan183]

ow she has change a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lashundasmith]

YOU COULD GIVE ME THOSE BOOTS GIRL THEY ARE ON FIRE!

[scottarooni]

I remember watching this when it originally aired, and this was the performance that made me a fan. Not everyone liked her on "Idol," and she certainly got mixed reviews from the judges. After her Oscar-winning performance in "Dreamgirls," it's fun to look back at these earlier clips and see how far Ms. Hudson has come. I hope her career keeps getting brighter, with even more accolades in her future! Check out her performance of "I Am Changing" on David Letterman, too; it's awesome!!

[papahet1889]

im sorry but i hav to say so many ppl can cover songs n do as wel if nt better than the original artist but no1 can cover the late great john lennons imagine its his no1 will ever do it as good or better than lennon

[BabyyiaMazieaa892]

[Tlove201]

I already knew she was a star from day one when I saw her on American Idol. Sang J. Hudson.

[chocolatestar72]

i felt the urge to call in and vote. LOL!

[BBBYpsi]

She was my favorite in her season & then Latoya London. I always thought & still think fantasia was not that good.

[mtw5536]

Long after Simon, Paula and Randy are gone ? They will remember Jennifer Hudson.

[tobillos]

i want her to be my priest!!!!!!!!!!!!

[redspotz]

awesome performance! love her voice! one of the great black diva voices in american idol!!! other favorites: kimberley locke, tamyra gray, vonzell solomon, la toya london, jordin sparks, melinda doolittle.. after them, there's none unfortunately! :(

[Shamoangurl]

OMG, to be honest i had no idea Jennifer Hudson if from American Idol!!! I love her, but i first noticed her in Dreamgirls...had no idea of her past...wooowww

[1Stunnerz]

I really enjoyed this performance of Jennifer!

Holla from Amsterdam

[josuexito1]

GRAN ACTRIZ Y GRAN CANTANTE , ESO ES SER UNA ESTRELLA.

[bnatrl88]

whoa paula...your hair lol

[SIRGAGA123]

she was an emotional wreck!!

[SIRGAGA123]

they weren't very nice to her, and look at her now. they couldn't say anything because she's a star, she'd smack them with her grammy and shove her oscar up their ass, lol...

[leretour23]

She wasn't fat at all why all the weight loss?

[rebarox85]

@leretour23 I know! she wasn't fat at all. In the video she looks the same size as she is now. But then she had to gain 40 lbs for Dreamgirls so maybe thats why she lost weight.

[leretour23]

@rebarox85 Oh wow, I didn't know she had to gain 40 lbs for her role, anyway good for her because that's how she got her stardom and now she's a world DIVA.

[caoquendo]

Thanks God She didn't win...  because she would NEVER be where she is right now! =)

[89057869113]

@caoquendo all american idol winner can not really do well after winning the competition

[KristianBressanutti]

@caoquendo at first i was like wtf r u saying!! then i read the last part of your comment.. then im like.. ahh i get it now.. to true :)

[rockdiva888]

@caoquendo so true...

[jkissoon]

@caoquendo i agree with u!! she actually did way better than any other person on this show and its probably because she didnt win!

[AdamG319]

@caoquendo totally agree. she's so much better than this show.

[pearpeas]

@caoquendo

Can you imagine how hard she prayed to win? wow. Thank God for unanswered prayer...

[offmyrockervideos]

@caoquendo

i agree. if you wanna make it big in the music industry...go on american idol and DON'T win. BIG SUCCESS!!!

[Mrfuturedirector1]

@caoquendo sorry but that doesn't make any sense. fantasia also auditioned for the part for the dreamgirls. she could still have win and then get the part in dreamgirls.

[chriscarter17]

@caoquendo that proves everything happens 4 ah reason

[0dour]

i love this?

[Jaam276]

This was awesome, really later season material. Really Good :)

[marilliaveveta2010]

hudson sem comentariooos elaaa é fodaah

[PoirePerry]

DOES ANYONE ELSE HEAR THAT FREAKING WEIRD PIANO RIFF???

[QQ289]

i like her outfit it is cute simon and( and every body else ) can wear it

[schildno5]

One thing I can't stand are shady, unfair people. Who are THEY to tell her not to shout? They're not AMERICA. Not everybody wants to hear auto-tunes. When she sings... LIVE, people get moved to tears. However. I know Simon GAGGED when Jennifer won that Oscar, didn't he? I believe Jennifer would have found stardom without this rigged show.

[Auguya]

@dlewgz That actually doesn't matter..Apologizing after he sees he's wrong..

Shows he's a dumbass..

[upturn76]

@Auguya Well everyone apologizes after they see they're wrong, he's no different.

[whb786]

Paula looks like dogshit here. Sheesh

[611SNOOPY611]

Horrible song choice. She has a great voice but that was weird and she kinda looks like a hot mess. Thank God for her stylists and glam crew today 'cause she'd still look like this if it wasn't for them. She probably hired Ryan Seacrest's people!

[pathofoblivion]

From this to Oscar-winning actress, wow thats hard to believe.

[dh144498]

simon was wrong about her, that's a first. xD

[09109159262]

I think this is not a song that suits her voice, just my opinion

[sexpot06]

@09109159262 I agree with you...She should have sang another song

[Vargo0071]

Jennifer was before her time vocally.

[FashionDesignerlove]

U gotta have posts of guts 2 be on American Idol

[SuperMika18]

I love jennifer hudson from dreamgirls when I saw I can not stop listening to your songs ... q is any song she sings her voice is splendid to me she and Beyonce are the best ... I still see her one day ... Oh I think I'm Brazilian

[PhReShx10]

Paula looks old here!!!!

[bluffgrad07]

I really wish we see another singer like Jennifer Hudson arise this year for Season 10 on American Idol. It's been 7 years since she was on the show, and I still love and will always support her. She's incredible...and she's the ONLY American Idol finalist to win an OSCAR, wow! GO J-HUD!!!! :)

[Berberbl0em]

It's sad that her family that came to support her then, aren't alive today. Her brother-in-law killed her whole family!

She deserves to shine!
