  • @1:13 is the best part

  • @TheOusooner56 your an idiot she was absolutely amazing

  • This version absolutely blows! HORRIBLE!!! HORRIBLE!! If Luther were alive, he'd be rolling in his grave

    

  • @TheOusooner56 if Luther was alive he wouldnt be in his grave. nice try.

  • shes not very good. Luther Forever

  • Nothing can top Luther but the more and more I listen to it she did a great job. The only bad thing was they kept showing her throughout the video.

  • Yeah, agreed Irishfootball. Her version has grown on me since it came out (but as you say, it ain't Luther).

  • EPIC FAIL

  • They both sound good. God blessed Luther with a beautiful voice and allowed him to sing this song but God gave Jennifer the same gift. Some people need to stop hating on the girl, and just face facts she did a good job.

  • Why is Friday a suggestion, i mean that shouldn't be within a mile of this

  • she sounds way better the Luther

  • Jennifer was great. I think that the producers should have let the highlights do the talking and have left her out. I thought the same thing the one year I think they had Luther in the video.  It's not about the singer...it's about the tourney and about the highlights. I think anyway.

  • I like Jennifer Hudson's version of One Shining Moment the best. All that criticism against it is unwarranted. The Luther Vandross's version is my second favorite version. It was not Jennifer Hudson's fault; it was the editors' fault. The only reason why the late singer's version returned this year is that it is the 25th anniversary. I hope the Jennifer Hudson version returns in 2012.

  • Jennifer Hudson is a great singer with an awesome voice but Luther OWNS THIS SONG!

  • Beautiful song by one the finest singers in the world.

  • Jennifer Hudson's version is not the best for only ONE reason.... she didn't sing it first. If someone else had sung it for the last couple decades and whipped out Luther's version, everyone would have been Wtf?

  • I don't think there have been many times in life I've been more pissed off than when they had this version of the song and then we had to see her SINGING it instead of seeing basketball clips. That was one of the 10 worst ideas in the history of the world. Whoever made that decision should never be allowed to have a job, ever, for the rest of his life. I'm not even kidding. That's the nicest punishment I could think of for such a travesty.

  • Glad we didn't have to listen to this b. i. t, ch again this year. Thank god

  • she overshowdered this song she can sing but this this doesnt need something to overpower it

  • I didn't like her getting alot of face time at all but her version of song grew on me. It was different but for only 1 year. Back to orginal tonight please cbs.

  • Absolutely horrible! Great move to go back to the old version. Jennifer Hudson cackles more than she sings.

  • I wonder how she sleeps at night knowing she messed up one of the great traditions of the NCAA tournament!!!

  • she sounds incredible. People must just be used to Luther's version, but she sang the heck out of this song.

  • Really... Is it that important... Who gives a fuck.

  • Loved your version Jennifer. You did a great job.................

  • I am glad that CBS decided to go back to the Luther Vandross version. They made a good decision. Jenniefer's version is good but Luther Vandross version is better. Luther's is heart felt and just makes you feel more emotion of the players. It's all about the players on Luther's Version, no shot of singer performing.

  • Sing it Jennifer!

  • She's got a great voice, but they should have stuck with Luther Vandross's version. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

    BTW, I loved that my beloved Duke Blue Devils won that year!

  • Where's Roy?

  • This was painful to watch, it's bad enough she sounds like a cat with his tail caught in a door, but was it necessary to have all those cutaway shots of her ugly ass singing in the recording studio? Some things aren't meant to be changed. Thank god CBS changed this shit. J-Hud is wack. I'd rather see Justin Beiber sing this than her....any day!!

  • @scar50 You're an idiot!

  • @intrepidarts Crumbus

  • i wonder how mad everyone was when Duke won. Cuz i was friggin over joyed

  • That made my ears bleed. Bring back the 2010 version. It's much, much easier on the ears.

  • i like her singing it thank u very much.

    

  • scream it bb

    

  • she sucks....too much scream

  • she can't sing

  • she's not singing it anymore!

    I saw it on cbssports website 

  • she sure is a screamer!!!!

  • She sure is a screamer!!!

  • I hope they dont fuck this up again this year no reason she should even be seen in the video...its for the players not the singer

  • i was pissed when i saw this bitch -___-

  • THIS IS HORRIBLE. WHAT IDIOT AT CBS THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE HER SING THIS? WHAT A MORON.

  • Love Jennifer Hudson and I think she has an absolutely incredible voice and she actually did a wonderful job with this song. However, Luther's version should always be played after the championship. It's just a great tradition. Hope to hear Luther two weeks from now.

  • You know rewatching this it isnt that bad i think i was just bitter that they replaced a classic...that being said Luther Vandross is wayy better and they need to bring it back!

  • God I hope CBS replaces this version...My ears bleed every time it plays. Hudson is a moron for allowing this version to get out. "One Shining Moment" is suppose to be a softly sung song.  There is NOTHING soft about this version. Black Sabbath with Rick Astley singing would make a better version.

  • Comment removed

  • Weres the lobos come on they made a big improvement you have to agree Dairese Gary I think should be the first pick hope you get drafted bro

  • This version on the song is TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jennifer does not sing all of the words because she is trying to show us that she is so great by hold the end of her notes. I also do not need to see video of her. I want to see video of the players. I hope they go back to the old way of singing this song.

  • i think the real disappointment here is the fact that ohio state is not shown a single time in the entire video when evan turner was named player of the year. watch the buckeyes go to the final four or to the you-know-where and still not be shown at all. just ridiculous.

  • i think the real disappointment here is the fact that ohio state is not shown a single time in the entire video when evan turner was named player of the year. watch the buckeyes go to the final four or to the you-know-where and still not be shown at all. just ridiculous.

  • This song fuckin' blows. Luther Vandross should be put back in this for '10-'11 or I'll be PISSED. Can't be butchered when KU wins it. lol

  • She is a talented singer but she doesn't get that this song is not about her. It's about the moments for these players that are a culmination of years of work and dreams. She runs out of breath and cuts off some of the lines and tries to impress us with her vocal range at the end instead of building to an emotional climax like the tournament does.

  • If Hayward makes that shot, no one is talking about Jennifer Hudson singing this song. If that shot goes in, this version of One Shining Moment becomes the most epic one of all time.....

  • Wow the video is great. And Luther's is great as well. But I guess it goes to show how some people hate change. And for some of the comments being made about Hudson's singing this song is truly sad. This young lady have more talent than most of you who is making the comments. And I know from all that she have faced she have more strength within than most of you who are sitting here online putting her down. But then again what that old saying those who can do and those who can not don't.

  • @jblair38

    yeah, jennifer has talent. But the argument isnt about whether she can sing or not; it's about her voice being right for this song. Her voice did not suit for this song, period. And, for goodness sake, get her out of the video. We want to see clips of ther tourney, not jennifer.

  • It's completely absurd for there to be clips of Hudson in this video. She has nothing to do with the years upon years of work these kids put in to make it to this point. Here's to hoping they go back to the original in 2011. It's not about the singer, it's about celebrating the phenomenal accomplishments of the players. If they listened to the lyrics themselves they would understand that.

  • This version seems like your kid sister telling you how great you are. Luther Vandross' version is a father or coach telling you that all your hard work will pay off. This is exaggerated by the cut aways to Jennifer that make it seem it is more about the song than the basketball plays. She can sing - it's just the wrong interpretation. Not her fault - the producer had the wrong sensibility.

  • I'm sorry, but this is totally unbearable -- with or without the video.

    Unbearable.

  • the original is till the best...the one before Luther

  • DUKE NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • WE WANT LUTHER BACK CBS!!!!

  • It is such bullshit that CBS has to go and ruin the whole meaning of the tournament by putting this dumb ugly, fake hair,screaming animal for this song.Dont they fucking understand that EVERYONE LOOKS FORWARD TO HEARING LUTHER VANDROSS SING THIS. and to make it worse,they have to show her fucking face for half of it,like its some sort of concert..Man,i hope they get it right this year!!!!!! BRING BACK LUTHER!!!! I WOULD RATHER HEAR VERNE LUNDQUIST OR GUS JOHNSON SING THE SONG RATHER THAN HER.

  • Hayward just HARDLY missd that shot! it looked like it was gunna bank in, but it went out, that shot had as good a chanc as any to go in

  • 1:53

    crazzzzziest moment of march madness!!

  • i dont have anything against jennifer but i like the luther version better it gets up pumped up

  • Awful, bring vandross back

  • @RockChalk911

    I don't get why so many ppl don't like her version of the song. I thought she did a good job. And that note she hit from 1:43-1:49 was great.

  • Where's Luther Vandross? Man, jennifer just doesnt have the voice for this kind of song. I do not know if it has to be a male singer, but the difference between jennifer and luther is like night and day. Also, get jennifer hudson out of the fricken video; we want to see the tourney clips, not her in a film studio.

  • @cozp33 yeah jen's voice is just too strong for this song...it over powers the highlights

  • LUTHER LUTHER LUTHER!!!!!!

  • why change something as awesome and traditional as luther's voice?

  • I love love love this song! Jen is both incredible and amazing on this track. The most versatile female artist in the business.

  • The video is horrible....I dont need to see jennifer hudson with college basketball mixed up...yet alone hear her voice with college basketball.....Hoping they go back to Luther Vandross version next season

  • Hudson singing this song = epic fail

  • Missed the championship game this year. Just hearing this year's 'OSM' for the first time. All the critics out there strike me as rhythmless idiots of a certain persuasion. This was just as goose-bump producing as Luther's and Teddy's versions of this classic.

    Some of you folks are beyond dumb.

    J-Hud rocked this song!

  • i hate wrestling

  • this bull shit sucks, just play the luther v version every year, they didnt even show much of the teams that didnt go to the f4, even some of the teams that did didnt get much air, fuck you pistonsfan1991

  • ummm how come theres like no duke in here? in 2009 they sucked unc's dick the whole time in they were shown every 5 seconds

  • This version sucked

  • the singer doesn't matter. stop showing so much of the singer and more highlights!

  • not being racist but at 2:00 the guy looks like a monkey

  • 2:21 to 2:24 the best part

  • tallguy---nice response, you are an idiot if you think Hayward is worth a damn

  • Who is the Baylor guy at 2:02? He is a boss.

  • her fiance is an overated thug in wwe

  • @adultcartoonman get a life

  • @adultcartoonman he graduated from harvard law how bout you?

  • wow she has a huge voice very reminiscant of Loletta Holloway . She's restraining her vocal abilities but this song is meant for a Male Vocalist not a woman sorry . Jennifer is a great singer but sadly this aint  her "One Shining Moment"... she's awesome but leave it to Luther or Teddy to sing this !!

  • Gordon Hayward taken 9th overall in the draft and guys like Sheyer and Sherron Collins, who did it the right way, 4 years in college, dominated the game pretty good, dont get drafted. What a joke. NBA scouts really dont have a clue. Especially Sheyer, your gonna tell me Gordon Hayward is THAT much better than him one on one? I cant wait to see him fail like so many others who jumped early

  • @FRZR93 you sir, are an idiot

  • STFU everybody! Jenn's version will be used for years and nothing you say will change it!

  • Comment removed

  • JHUD sing it girl. Who cares about the HATERS. You sang it better than Luther. I like Luther's version too, but at least I am not afraid to admit Jennifer did it better.

  • My comment got removed. That's unfortunate. I can't even remember what I said.

    Anyway, great song, congrats to all 65 teams for an entertaining tournament.

  • Congrats to Butler University for a great Year and Looking forward to the 2010 Season with Head Coach Brad Stevens Hopefully the 2010 Season can be even better then the 2009 Year Thanks Butler For Representing Indiana even though you fell short of the National champioship you put Butler on the Basketball map again and not only that you proved that you can do things the Butler way congradulations to Head coach Brad Stevens on a successful season and Best wishes in his continue success as coach...

  • It wasn't horrible...Luther's was definitely better but Hudson's version didn't suck. It was good. She oversang it a bit, but she oversings pretty much everything. It was good.

    For those of you complaining about Hudson being in the clips, that's a CBS thing. Go back to the 2002 or 2003 One Shining Moment (forget which one, it's one of those two). That's the first time Vandross sung the song, and he was shown singing some of the time. It's what CBS does to introduce a new singer.

  • cause her voice is so powerful it's hard for her to keep it in when she hits the high notes. i love her voice but i think luther's version is better..more subtle and it's supposed to be about the players and he did a great job not overdoing the song.

  • Comment removed

  • Look this for all yall who are hatin on this video heres the simple obvious solution DON'T WATCH THE FUCKING VIDEO. i mean hell if all yall gonna do is hate on it then why did yall watch it in the first place.

    and for those who actually like the new version i applaud yall. at least u all know good singing when you hear it.

  • luther vandross sings one shining moment way better

  • @MIZZOUforlife Thats only your opinion and it carries no weight at all. See opinions are just like butts and tales we all have one. The young lady did a super job just as good as my friend Luther Vandross.

  • Why the hell was J hudson in the clips? This moment is for the kids. Not her.

  • this one is probably the worst out of all of them...jennifer hundson just sorta ruined it all.....it made me cry thoughh...especially seeeing dasean butler..love him

  • Congrats to the Duke University blue devils on winning the national championship

  • I love J-Hud but there didn't need to be clips of her in the video.

    But that probably wasn't her fault. It was the... EDITOR'S!!!!

    Her voice is good for this song!

  • @scootigger It was her fault. Her and her management company. She was contractually obligated, her contract, to be shown a certain number of times. CBS took some heat for her being inserted and gave up the stipulations in her contract.

  • @aixelsyd82

    Ohhhh, okaye. I did say probably. lol.

  • This was a terrible, over sung version of this song. Did they really need to show clips of her too when this song was supposed to be about the players??

    Way to kill a great song.

  • Fuck Jennifer Hudson. Stay far far away from basketball Jennifer

  • Jennifer does a fantastic job with this song. Sorry haters.

  • @oneoriginalthought

    I liked it because it was in my head all the next day...........

  • She murdered this song, and the producer murdered what is supposed to be the absolute best part of this tournament. The song usually makes me almost tear up. This year, all it did was almost make me throw the remote through my TV. That producer should be castrated for ruining one of the most timeless traditions in sports.

  • this sucks. The original is way better than this pop crap version.

  • Her voice is much too Diva for this song. it was like a chance for her to show off her vocals (which we all know are amazing), rather than respect the anthem of the NCAA tournament. The problems I had were the fact they just changed it on a whim, and decided to show more clips of her, than the tournament (which was one of the best I'd ever watched).

  • the actual singing is not that bad, but the choice of highlights and showing her every 10 seconds is pretty terrible.

  • That's CBS fault. Stop blaming J-Hud!

  • @DJAlmond123 wasn't blaming her, DJNutcase123

  • Well then don't. NEXT!

  • Yall act like she was shown throughout the whole video!!

    Great vocals though Jenn!

  • @DJAlmond123 she is

  • I can't agree more. How could CBS disrespect a classic like Vandross's One shining moment and replace it with that cheezy garbage Hudson spewed out. I always look forward to Luther's version at the end of the championship game. Please bring it back. It ruined it for me and I'm sure many others. WTF!! And why did they show so many cameos of her singing. This is song is about tradition and the kids who play this tournament every year. Not promoting this anita faker!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I thought the song was supposed to be showing highlights of NCAA tournament highlights not the signer. Put the old one back. I don't care which one of the previous three it is not this one.

  • how do you not put in the jordan crawford shot in this shit? FUCK

  • the old singer was so much better i thought they even took time out just to show hudson there was no need to go and change it but since they did change it i was happy it wasnt changed a lot or i would be rlly mad

  • it was very good i like it the people at CBS really did a good job nice work guy's

  • @justinolivar Thank God!!!!!!!! Finally!!!!!!!!! Someone that feels just like me. I like this version also. I was ganged upon by others on some other video of this. It's good to know someone else likes this version also. :)

  • Do not like, I don't need to see the singer. I want to see the highlights.

  • Man, this version SUCKED. They just HAD to screw it up didn't they after being good over these years? Of course Vandross sang it much better and they kept showing Hudson for some reason like she was promoting herself! Stupid. Also, even though this was one of the greatest tournaments ever this year, the clips weren't as good as normal AND it seemed a little shorter. CBS really failed. A stupid change.
