HOLY SHIT!!!I'm speachless and so emotional after this that i'm struggling not to burst into tears!I LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE it!!! Thank you, Jenny! god bless ya!
@TheWhitgurl88 She definitely should've won! I love Fantasia, but EVERYBODY knows that Jennifer should've taken that crown! But she didn't need it. GRAMMIES OSCARS SHE'S A BEAST!!!
She is the only one that comes close to Aretha singing this song. I have heard Mary J, Whitney and Joss Stone and no one hit it like Jennifer. She is awesome.
wow! and this is impromptu! Oh my! I am just blown away by her level of skill & professionality!! Ask her to sing, and she'll give it to you where ever!!!
@shomodei HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA no. Jenny Hudson's version is wonderful, especially as it's impromptu! for a truly amazing version from the supposed vocal trinity (whitney, mariah and celine [celine does NOT belong]) Nippy's version from 1994 is AMAZING :)
"I'm Mexican now, I'm not white". That part just makes me roll on the floor laughing. However, gorgeous, amazing, and magnificent voice my sister. Goodness she can really make the world seem as if it is just going to be alright with her heavenly voice.

she's good..that's given.. but i know who have better rendetion of this song..look for natural woman aicelle santos..you'll be amazed..she sung it way way better than this..try also her version of all the man that i need..
Are you retarded...santos doesn't even come close to Jennefer. It was good but come on man. You got to be kidding me....get out of here with that shit.
That's my Jennifer! Good Lord, I voted and voted for you, baby, when you were on American Idol, and you surely have delivered! You are just lovely, and your beautiful voice lifts us all up. Many blessings to you.
@yomerman are you crazy. Aretha's version will alway be the standards. Jennifer is merely a singer singing an Aretha Franklin classic. Aretha is the one that made this song a classic and forever will it be an Aretha Classic!
This is true...I love Aretha, but shit cut that girl a break...this is 6am...hell Aretha wishes she sounded like this at 6 in the morning...and plus you can tell she's congested...JHud know she got some major haters!
@headpimpincharg are you serious. You got to be kidding. Jennifer is good but she isn't half the singers Aretha is. Aretha tears this song up. No one can touch her.
@1990soulman I just prefer Jennifer's voice more that aretha's. But when it comes to handling and control and range I say Aretha is the better singer.
I don't usually like this kind of music (Mariah and Celine, ugh) because I'm more of a rocker, indie type of girl but I'm actually impressed with her. She made it her own. I didn't hear Aretha, I heard Jennifer Hudson.
this is what singing is supposed to sound like the power and range in this girls voice is incredible i bet she could easily go into whistle register if she wanted i wonder if she has ever used it i love her voice
@pavcy ... this is proof that as buick61 said not only do you have no grammar but no common sense if you don't like jennifer hudson don't watch her videos duh
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i like kellys version so much better , butt jennifer hudson is still a great singer but kelly definately sung this song better. Kelly is still a great singer i dont think Jennifer is better than her and vise versa
That's right, JHUD representing on KISS-FM right here in Dallas. And that's how it's done. This girl is incredible. That could go straight to CD and SELL! I'd buy it!
Jennifer Hudson rocks & will always smoke Kelly! This girl has a powerful voice and not only that, she sings with passion and soul. She effin moves you...
Kelly probably won American Idol, but Jennifer Hudson didn't need to win American Idol to be a STAR. Two different types of talent and two different singers. Jennifer Hudson has a grammy and an oscar. I don't see Kelly sporting an oscar...
sweetie, winning means nothing.. .Ruben and The old guy won.. But where are they now?? Exactly.. Kelly can't touch Ms. Hudson when it comes to singing.. PERIOD...
Jennifer Hudson is best singer of Beyoncé! PLEASE! WAKE UP PEOPLE! this woman has a best voice, best perfomance, best music and best lyrics! COME ON!! I love you, Jennifer! you're a genious!
supporting doesn't mean you weren't the best, it just means her character was the supporting role in the movie. sometimes it's referred to as the featured actor/actress.
The movie was about Effie's story but in the original play Effie kills herself after she sings "Not Living without you". Jennifer had the leading role but Beyonce has a bigger name ie. more following so they made her stand out. Don't get me wrong I love B but she is a horrible actress.
I am agree with you totally! The musical is about effie her changing she's a diva and her songs are better than B's. I honestly think it was just because it's Beyonce why she was lead, but I'm glad Jennifer won she was outstanding and out of this world.
this generation needs their own Arethas Tinas Gladys' Anitas Warwicks Irenes Pattys..... She is great as one of those mentors. With out these women she would not be here they paved the way, you are right there cannot be a comparison to women who sang during those years but Jhud has come back from adversity. p.s. there are so many more I could have mentioned that was off the top of my head..
Would record this and blast it in the car. Just wish them other people didn't mess up Miss Hudson's song.
