Smh, it took my slow ass a couple of years to realize that the video didnt record the first couple of words. #LOL . What a powerful voice she has!!!!!
She did her thang at the DNC....but his version right here is just raw as hell!!! I fucking LOVE this video and at 1:18 when she does that growl Oh My Lord Jesus...my girl got POWER. You Betta Sing That Shit Jenn :o)
She blows all the singers out today OUT THE WATERS!!! Beyonce Mariah Mary A Keys Fantasia Keyisha. ALL ARE GREAT ARTIST but voice isn't as strong and high as J HUDs. Plus is so SOULFUL and PROFESSIONAL!!!
no body has song this song better than Whitney, yet....don't know if anyone will, but Jennifer's voice is AMAZING!!! Although, the tempo was slow and she did not follow the lyrics exactly: "Through the perUlous fLight", "O'er the land I DUB THEE free".? her voice is one of the gr8test of our generation.
She actually elongated the word land..so it sounded diff. it was actually "O'er the la-and of the free" She is absolutly amazing..never heard anything like her!
Where do you hide these videos !! Give us more, more , more !! No current artist has the combination of both power and range that Jennifer has !
BUT ! I do think that everyone should take more notice to Chrisette Michelle because she has incredible jazz technique (INCREDIBLE) and insane vocal prowess.
Damn that is sum shit but Jenn killed it no mic no music she don't need nothing but her pipes and her self, and a some people she will be set but I can tell Idol is a bunch of bullshit they said she was to soulful how can't a black person be to soulful they can kiss azz
OMG! that is ridiculous and they let Backstreet Boys! America's still got a long way to go...and i'm not usually one to play the race card! Don't worry though when jen's album drops and they see how amazing she is...AGAIN they will be knocking down ya'll doors for jen to do the superbowl you wait and see!
WOOOOOOW!!!!! that was amazing....yes as we can see she's always had that voice..its actually beyond amazing! my fav part @1:43..no its the whole thing!.....damn!
Jennifer Hudson was the BEST back then, and she's still the BEST now!!! I will continue to support this woman forever, just like i've been doing from the day i saw her auditon in Atlanta for Idol on television! God Bless you James for all u do for her supporters/fans!!
I have read more then once that Jennifer was asked to tone her vocals down during her time on Idol. I could be wrong, it's just something I've read a couple of times.
But WHY would they try 2 stop that voice? That's so beyond stupid. Y push down her talent? GOD, I'm so ANGRY after knowing I was right about that. U hear her singing all these things after Idol & every1 says da same thing "Y didnt she sing like dat on Idol" & u can hear it in her voice after she left it was completley different, her true voice came out 2 shine. Even her audition was different from her time on Idol
But that doesn't seem fair. If that's your art, your voice, your talent, and your suppose to "show america" what you got so they can pick based on "your talent" then why would they make someone not be their self? They would probably kick me off and say that guys aren't suppose to sound like my sound...that's not a fair competition
Yeah I totally agree. Did they do it in favour of another Idol at da time? Hey James Jennys your best friend...What exactly did they say 2 her when asking her to tone down? How did Jenny take that? What a strong woman she would have been 2 of had 2 do them with a smile on her face!
well its so much that goes on behind the scenes of idol that alot of people dont know. U have to sign contracts so therefore your not allowed to say anything and If u do then you get sued for i think its 5 million dollars. gonnfor breaking ya contract. Idol is a bunch of Bullshit! they already know who they want to win. They edit the show and have it scripted so we can vote for the winner.
Now THATS something I saw during the 1st season of Idol, all da behind da scenes stuff dat they dont show nymore cuz Idol does what it wants now & does not care about da public or what it wants.I read Jenny wanted 2 sing "Somewhere over the rainbow" on "Movie" night but they told her she couldn't sing it her way??? Poor Jen,what a fighter. Look at her now though!
Idol has no right & we all think "Fuck Idol" aswell. Jen got her name out there IN Idol yes BUT Jen got her TALENT out there through Dreamgirls which had nothing 2 do with Idol & every1 knows it so Idol is waisting it's time trying 2 use her sucsess as it's own. Da public & Jens real fans no da truth, dats all dat matters. Jen has every right 2 piss on Idol 4 what it did 2 her during the show, actually I think shes done dat now LOL, plus Jen speaks up about it 2 so good on her
American Idol? Please. It's hard to manage a professional voice like Jen's on such an amateur show. Jennifer's voice was too dynamic for AI and having her tone it down was the only way they knew how to deal with it. Having her cut loose and do her thing would of made the other contestants look too amateur-ish....just as she is doing now.
Every 1 knows she was 2 good 4 AI. DreamGirls has dat proof from start 2 finnish & James's vids have even MORE proof %100 but that dont answer y they would do that 2 Jen & not da others, other den God had bigger & Better plans 4 her! I still wanna no what they said 2 Jen when telling her 2 tone down!!!
OMG! that is ridiculous and they let Backstreet Boys! America's still got a long way to go...and i'm not usually one to play the race card! Don't worry though when jen's album drops and they see how amazing she is...AGAIN they will be knocking down ya'll doors for jen to do the superbowl you wait and see!
Ol' boy in the white had to wipe his forehead. lol. Fro is so lethal...few can rock it right. Me and Jhud got it down tho'...oh gotta add Erykah and Lauryn too.
Again that voice got me into a sweat LOL. It's just so beyond words what it does to me. It's even scary that someone can sing with such a voice, so much so that if Jennifer had no music on a whole album and just sang, her voice would BE the music. That's how special her voice really is. when a singers voice IS music, man thats special. Love you Jennifer.
HOLY shit I didn't even watch i all b4 i posted that comment I only saw 1:00 of it & that;s how I felt so after watching the whole thing ...HOLY SHIT. I'm in so much shock, I'm crying & laughing & jumping around I don't know what to say. THIS is the best version I have ever heard. She could make this a single. BLOWN AWAY
good god girl you have that "IT" that only god can give you god bless you well he already has and may he continue to do so because you are well worth every blessing. and hello to you too james you are my comic relief when i'm sad because you always have something for me to laugh at lol bless you all.
It sounds just as good as the prerecorded Super Bowl version. The girl has talent!
