You people are all fucking retarded. Oprah ASKED her to perform this you dumb fucks. She didn't go on stage and be like "fuck Fantasia, I'm fucking amazing!" like seriously, just shut the fuck up already.
FANTASIA WON "AMERICAN IDOL" JENNIFER HUDSON WON A "OSCAR" THEY BOTH HAVE CAME ALONG WAY WHY COMPARE THEM? THEY BOTH ARE BLESS AND ARE EQUALLY TALENTED NO MATTER WHAT YOU CAN'T TAKE THAT FROM EITHER ONE OF THEM AND THEY BOTH SONG FOR "OPRAH" AT THE END OF THE DAY!!
Just let all the nay sayers know, I researched and found out that Jennifer Hudson beat Fantasia for the part of Effie White. She won a grammy and an oscar for her performance. In the movie and on stage singing the songs from the movie she hit higher notes with ease than any of the notes in this song. She is a real beast. Its not about competing with Fantasia. She did that and won.she just wanted to sing a well known song in honor of Opera
@kbeardtenor Yes...but Both are equally as good.. equally as emotional and characteristics of their own range.. for these songs..This is Oprah Baby... that's why Fantasia won the Tony...
.. again Jennifer is attempting to be better than the next artist >> fantasia tore the song to pieces and Jennifer put too much in it .. don't get me wrong .. performance was cool .. but get you some originality hun
why in this day and age do ppl still wanna compare singers.. can we just shut up and let em sing.. each and every singer will sing the same song differently.. dont hate, just relate.. hallelujah... wake up ppl... let em sing
Jennifer Hudson is hands down.. a far superior Actress and Singer than Fantasia.. Since her Families Death's, This song is 100% more poignant under the helms of Jennifer Hudson.. Sadly, I would hate to think that Jennifer Hudson would be known for being the artist that lost 1/2 of her family in the prime of her career...
THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL. BUT. IM SORRY FANTASIA GIVES MORE EMOTION BLOOD RAW TEARS WHEN SINGING THIS SONG . AND JENNIFER GAVE ME CLASSY CHURCH FORM. SO I GO WITH FANTASIA
I agree they are both great but there is something about Fantasia that even slow song that makes you come alive. I love them both and I even hate if I had to decide between them...I would rather climb in a hole..honestly..lol
It doesn't really matter whose better, both of them will shut it down with the vocals. How about having them both get a round on this song (or any song for that matter).
Okay , Stop Comparing Fantasia and Jennifer Hudson together, they are two different beautiful individuals in both type of different ways. Both , have a nice voice that a lot of people will die to here ! So, just shut up about who's better; they both are Singers, and both already made it to the billboards chart and won a Grammy already . To Be Honest: I like both version equally , long as the song as the same meaning , it's all good ! :)
everyone is conparing her to Fantasia because Fantasia MADE this song when she song it on Broadway!! Jennifer has a great voice but "Im here" is alll Fantasia!!
Jennifer is good, she does not compare to the voice of Fantasia because they are different vocal registers, I like Jennifer's more because it has a maturity characteristic of the great black singers.
@ blkarmyman check your facts, yes Fantasia can sing for anything she is put up to sing. She did sing for Elton John at the Kennedy Center Honors. And yes, nobody can sing I'm Here like Fantasia. Jhud good but dont bring it like Fantasia.
1:40 to 1:52 is my favorite part, she head so much emotion in her face, i like this version better, but both of them really did that song...it macks me cry:(
Jennifer's voice is more mature and her timbre has much more color(dark, rich, and bright) than Fantasia; Fantasia is good but her voice can seem nasally at times and she doesn't have lots of a darker timbre for certain notes. But both renditions are good.
This ok but I think Fantasia did this a lot better. Jennifer doesn't pronounce her words all that clearly, her runs are a little sloppy, and she drags the song out way too much. Don't get me wrong, this was good. I just thing Fantasias was better.
I loves Fantasia, Gawd knows ah do, but let's be real: the fact that she chose to be ghetto is what got her UNinvited to the Kennedy Center Honors! U would never have Lil Mo performing at a show like this & Fantasia is the equivalent. Arguably the best in the business for her genre, but she simply didn't know how to leave ghetto IN the ghetto! As you can see, Jennifer is damn near A-list because she "Did what Fantasia wouldn't". SMH cuz Tasia is on my top 5 list of SANGERS.
FIRST, I love this song and Jennifer stamps her own "Jennifer-esque" stamp on it and bless her for this because her voice is gold to me. HOWEVER, this is Celie's song, Fantasia Barrino, and should be left with Fantasia because there is just something about the way Fantasia sings it that Jennifer didn't capture. I'm NOT saying Jennifer covered the song badly, I LOVED IT, but this is Fantasia's song and she connects with it in a way Jennifer did not. That is all!
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL. WHEN THE LIGHTS WENT ON AND YOU COULD SEE THE AUDIENCE.... IT MUST HAVE BEEN SUCH AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE TO SING UP THERE IN FRONT OF SO MANY BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE.
It wasn't her job to convey the character! That is why Fantasia got the part! Jennifer's job was to honor Oprah with a heart felt performance and she did JUST THAT! #THATISALL!
@billielover13 Its not necessarily her being better, For me its because Fantasia performs, she work the stage and gets you into the song. Jennifer stands at the mic fast song or slow song and i feel nothing until the end where she get a little aggreesive.. Has nothing to do with vocals they both can sang their butts off..so yes for me its a package, with any artist..
Bitches loose 5lbs and think they can do what they want lol.. jp I love Jen however let my gurl Tasia sing her own song... Tasia not singing about Jenny Craig bwhahahahah lol jp yall
Jennifer is Effie. Fantasia is Celie. Jennifer boo let Tasia have this one! If Fantasia was at an event singing "And I'm Telling You" people would be reacting the same way.. like why is she singing Jennifer's song? Celie was soft spoken(Fantasia) and I'm Here doesn't need the high vocals..
I'm sorry I just watched Fantasia sing this song on you tube and Jennifer to me had better timing, vocal range and her voice has so much more fullness. So for those that think Fantasia is better it's just your personal preference.
First of all whoever said Jennifer can sing like Whitney is smoking crack! And secondly, I love Jennifer and she can sing but Tasia can SANG! Big difference. This song is for Tasia all the way! It's a slap in her face they had Jennifer do it since she played the part in Color Purple...
I heard Fantasia sing this live.....on Broadway and until you do, u cant even compare this to it...i LOVE JHud's voice...1 of a kind, but Fantasia breathed life into this song which is why ppl can even cover it...rehardless its a beautiful song. But Fantasia.....my Lord, when she sang this, it changed my life sitting there wtaching her!
i will always like the both of them,but Jennifer's voice was more spiritual and crisp,and Fantasia although a job well done is was way too gospel,but both of them brought you what they had and served it well!!
@saushababetta i don't understand why people are hating on Jennifer! the main 1s talking cant sing a lick.... so what she messed up Oprah didn't mind and i think her opinion counts a trillion times more than your little unneeded comments
@Zantray This is Youtube...I can comment all I want, The necessity level does not matter. Now on top of her messing up the words you can kiss my ass. Idiot, you sound like a fool!!!!!
@lilseaxydee Agreed. It kind of lost the emotion when they started, but the emotion came back when they stopped. Bad choice to add them. I still love this rendition though. <3
@lilseaxydee I agree...the choir wasn't needed, but since Oprah attended Tennessee State University I can see why it had importance to her. I noticed the expression on Oprah's face when they showed up.
I JUST GOT DONE LISTENING TO BOTH VERSIONS I THINK JENNIFER HUDSON VOICE IS TO STRONG FOR THIS SONG NOT SAYING JENNIFER DIDENT DO A GOOD JOB BUT THE SONG FITS FANTASIA VOICE MORE JUST SAYING
She tapped into that special place here. Music should move you, and this does. By-the-by, the song was around long before her and Fantasia. Both ladies do a good job, but this performance stands out on its own.
@urgrad03 I agree both ladies sing this song beautifully, and yes this song was around before Fantasia.. but honestly who do you think of when you see or here "I'm Here... Fantasia! That's what you call making the song YOURS! Fantasia eludes emotion, that Jennifer just couldn't do.
I like Fantasia a lot but have never liked this song on her... i dont think it suits her vocals at all and when she sings it i'm just bored.. but i think JHUD kills this....gives me goose bumps...
@immature0916 i acctually dissagree ....yes Fantasia killlss this song,, but i have to say Jhud's performance was something else...it was amazing, and she did well......reallly well
@brandonminyard31 it really isn't Fantasia song... this song was around way before Fanny sung it.. but you would think the song was made just for her...
Gotta say Jennifer Hudson sing the hell out of this song in fact it was almost as good as fantasia but fantasia give more feeling to the song but Jennifer Hudson can compete with here and for the record Jennifer Hudson is a better singer then fantasia you want proof listen to her sing whintey Houston I will always love you she did that song justice and even Whitney clap on that
I dont care what any one says..i love fantasia too but no one can compete with jennifer hudson....she is my girl...my inspiration....i hope too follow in her foot steps as a successor in life
I personally dont think it was right to have JHUD sing this song at The Kennedy Honors....one of The most Prestigious American events.....thus song really does belong to Fantasia Emotionally & Vocally.
I do not mean for this to taken in the wrong fashion,but I have to say when I think that there is going to be no tomorrow.I listen to Jen sing this song and it lifts my spirits and takes them to a place I once was.Then I open my eyes and I see a new day again,where will this day take me,that I haven't crossed before.....
@lumobachster yeah I didn't like the choir that much either [no shade TSU] and yes I hope the musical makes it to the movies! I'd see it multiple times.
I DONT SEE HOW ONE CAN SAY JENNIFER HUDSON DOESNT HAVE EMOTION BEHIND HER VOICE!!! AND TUH ME ITS NO COMPARING JENNIFER TUH FANTASIA.. THEY STAND IN THERE OWN RANGE.. BOTH AMAZING AND POWERFUL PLUS VERSITLE .. SO GET OVER SAYIN WHO IS BETTER... I LUV THIS VERSION OF THIS SONG .. SHE DID THAT!!!!!! GIVE CREDIT TUH WHERE ITS DEW!!!!!
AND FOR THOSE WHO ARE CALLING FANTASIA A HOMEWRECKER GUESS WAT SHES NOT BEING SUED AND THAT DONT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH HER MUSIC HOMEWRECKER OR NOT SHE STILL WILL GIVE JENNIFER AND RUN FOR HER MONEY HAHA I WONT SOMEBODY TO COMMENT BACK LOL LOL JENNIFER IS GOOD DOE SHE GOT MORE WORK TO DO SO DO FANTASIA BUT AS OF A NOW FANTASIA SING BETTER CANT TELL ME NOTHING SHE DO HAVE A MESSED UP IMAGE DOE BUT SHE CAN SING BOTH LADIES ARE GOOD BUT FANTASIA IS THE BETTER 1
JENNIFER HUDSON IS MORE POPULAR THAN FANTASIA YES JENNIFER IS A GOOD SINGER BUT SHE DONT HAVE ANY EMOTION BEHIND HER VOICE SHE RUSHES THROUGH SONGS AND THE CHOIR WAS NOT NEEDED FANTASIA HAS EMOTION AND SOUL IF YOU MUST KNOW AND WE ALL KNOW BOTH LADIES CAN SCREAM SO DONT PUT IT ON FANTASIA LIKE SHE THE ONLY 1 THE SONG FIT FANTASIA VOICE MORE DONT GET ME WRONG JENNIFER KILLED IT BUT SHE NEED TO WORK ON THAT CONTROL SO SORRY THATS HOW I FEEL
@deadkornbread me too she has absolutely a BEAST of a voice, I want to see her gain control and learn more nuance but my goodness Jennifer can sing :-)
fantasia (MY GIRL) and jennifer hudson are both beautiful woman who got the sangin game on lock....yall just support fantasia in the movie musical "the color purple" and the short film "ruby's cafe" and also support jennifer in the movie "winnie"....both the ladies are BLACK GIRLS THAT ROCK!!!!!!
I MUST SAY FANTASIA WILL BLOW JENNIFER HUDSON OUT THE WATER BUT JENNIFER HUDSON WILL OUT SELL FANTASIA ANY DAY JENNIFER HUDSON IS A CROSS OVER ARIST AND FANTASIA FANS WONT EVEN BUY HER ABLUM SUCH A SHAME FANTASIA FANS NEED TO STEP UP TO HELP HER OUT BECAUSE SHE HAS THE MUSIC ITS JUST FANTASIA FANS SLACKING BUY A COPY OF HER NEW ABLUM BACK TO ME IF YOU HAVENT AND U CALL YOURSELF A FAN
@lilseaxydee Fantasia can't blow JH out of the water! Are you kidding me? I mean I LOVE Fantasia but she sounds like a squirrel next to this WOOOOMAN, clean your ears
@SAC010 U WISH FANTASIA PROVED IT WHEN SHE WON IDOL SORRY JENNIFER IS GOOD BUT ALWAYS SOUND THE SAME FANTASIA IS BETTER SO WHATEVER I DONT CARE SAVE YOUR VOICE CAUSE WE ALL KNOW THE TRUTH SHE PUT TO MUCH IN THIS SONG NOT FOR HER SORRY FANTASIA VERSION IS MORE SOFT AND CALM FOR THE FIRST TIME
@lilseaxydee bitch please..jus becus u won doesnt mean none.alot of people won tht shouldnt have won..so what r u sayin?.....cuz jennifer can yell an all better then tasia..do ya reasearch!
no where as good as Fantasia

She tapped into that special place here. Music should move you, and this does. By-the-by, the song was around long before her and Fantasia. Both ladies do a good job, but this performance stands out on its own.

@urgrad03 I agree both ladies sing this song beautifully, and yes this song was around before Fantasia.. but honestly who do you think of when you see or here "I'm Here... Fantasia! That's what you call making the song YOURS! Fantasia eludes emotion, that Jennifer just couldn't do.

I like Fantasia a lot but have never liked this song on her... i dont think it suits her vocals at all and when she sings it i'm just bored.. but i think JHUD kills this....gives me goose bumps...

Gotta say Jennifer Hudson sing the hell out of this song in fact it was almost as good as fantasia but fantasia give more feeling to the song but Jennifer Hudson can compete with here and for the record Jennifer Hudson is a better singer then fantasia you want proof listen to her sing whintey Houston I will always love you she did that song justice and even Whitney clap on that

I personally dont think it was right to have JHUD sing this song at The Kennedy Honors....one of The most Prestigious American events.....thus song really does belong to Fantasia Emotionally & Vocally.
