Jennifer Hudson - Circle of life

[jrmyth]

i wish she was in The Lion King on Broadway!

[sexycubanchocolate]

One of the best perforamnce...

[gabbygirl112]

really gooodd! beautiful voice, but she's breathing wrong. you're not supposed to lift your shoulders when you sing...but she's gotten MUCHH better with it. In dream girls, her performance was marvelous :)

[patrickcleere1]

hold up fuck this, she is supposed to do the loud chant that goes before this. the song is not the song unless this is part of it.

[DinosaurBrawlTrainer]

What the fuck.

[thekingzy]

how amazing i really really like it ...

[anna35474]

i think i'll stick with my oscar, thanks but no thanks idol :)

[Voileen]

out of all the AI winners, I think this gorgeous woman was the most deserving

[09ElSalvador]

omg goosebumps :O what a wonderful woman!

[Samburger13]

good but it would have been cooler with the thingy at the beginning from the real song :p

[mrkgt12]

@Samburger13 Yeah, the chant? It would really kick ass!

[TheBrazenHell]

She should cast as Rafiki in the Broadway.... the crowd will blow away with her performance, Imagine she is singing He Lives in You. :D

[donatord]

How could there be any dislikes?

[Mstre95]

WOW WOW SICK

[ngilford1]

how could she skip the intro? its the most important part!

[filmified]

hahahah i love her!! i laugh cause i get hype everytime i see this!! shes just so great i cant take it lol

[dominogirl]

*holds up my cat*

[nikkidrumz]

[abettershade]

This woman could sing 'Friday' and still give chills. :)

[mal211129]

[ppalia]

[BlueFrost01]

[carlovalerio]

Esta mujer vuelve oro todo lo que toca, me emocioné mucho más con El rey león a partir de haber visto este video con Jennifer Hudson

[dented42]

It's an ok performance.

[mxdchix4lyfe]

Im glad she didnt win american idol!!!!...........SHE'S WAYYYYYYYYYY TOO GOOD FOR THEM! :D

[MCFrenchTheLlama]

Banished made 43 accounts cuz he thought he could play the drum part better... which he can

[penina2puola]

LOL @ the1atcpc...too funnY!

[delgado4652]

That's it, I want to take her home with me now...

[GayWhisperGuy]

How did this performance send her home??

[jrunnels04]

wow she's sure come a long way.. congrats JHud!

[bdogg20101]

Totally nailed the song. Awesome job

[the1atcpc]

*holds up Simba*

[soccerchic99100]

Legendary. 

[Evnted]

She sounds like she belongs in the Festival of the Lion King.

[CaranLonde]

@xLemonxCupcakex it was a black person who won, Fantasia Barrino. o_O strange that u root for black people but u can't remember a black woman won D:

[awcrazy72]

i really din't like her but i looooooooove her singing this song

[cassinko]

THIS IS WHAT AMERICAN IDOL REFUSED TO SEE... Listen to her the week with Barry M.

[mitchellisg0d]

such a powerful voice

[11Evanescence13]

I Literally got goosebumps listening to this. <3 I love Jennifer Hudson. Such a powerful voice (:

[EnFetzigo]

Awsome voice!!!!

[Liesssable]

[VeeRazzles]

One of the best performances ever on the show

[jomarantolinbuy]

[benAgaum]

[looneychooney]

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL

[tmwalkerm]

wasn't this the week that she got booted? By far my favorite performance of hers, still gives me goose bumps........wow

[Alewo2735]

I LOVE LOVE Jennifer Hudson but the beginning was rough and a Disney song just doesn't do her justice. I'm sorry but it's true.

[tredes72]

Jennifer hudson iz a reallly gud singer

[michalkizielewicz]

2nd version / zweite Version / 2 wersja

/watch?v=CwPSO_8YjsA

[soccerchic99100]

Legendary. 

[lilchris9166]

she kiiled dis song

[DarkCyradis]

DANG! Never knew that song could be so epic! (and uncheesy) Jennifer is unbelievable!!

[Jupiter748]

Unlucky for her that she was in one year with Latoya and Fantasia. Damn you vote splitting. Good that then there came dream girls.

[Clayzie]

One of my favorite performers ever on AI...I was so sad when she was cut. She's an amazing singer and I'm happy for her success.

[BaNaNaNzZ]

She is such a natural at performing -3

[BrutalBubba]

Elton John has been covered many times on Idol, but the one performance that truly made him proud was this one.

[shyfake]

She can sing anything she wants and she can do it amazingly. She is just wonderful!

[southernangel530]

she did this song so much justice its ridiculous

[Bridgettefan231]

How did this girl only place 7th

[MyBuster27]

omg. she has a superstar voice . I cant believe she didnt win idol

[nateweezy80]

hearing this brings chills everytime. she has a beautiful voice. simply amazing

[mardgreen88]

her hair looks blue in parts haha.

[iluvfantasia]

For some reason I cannot stop watching this video

[az3wheeler]

Elton John wishes he could sing this good!

[juanonzl]

puta negra canta bien

[miceskin]

@juanonzl vote him down, we know what your saying jerk.

[juanonzl]

@miceskin sings well and that nasty black bitch

[sunbabybull]

she was so prettier when she was bigger.

[kemoblue4u]

@sunbabybull i disgree.

[sunbabybull]

@kemoblue4u "to every one their own"

[kemoblue4u]

@sunbabybull now that i can agree with :D

[CauseImMrsBrightside]

Jennifer Hudson is an amazing woman with an amazing voice!

Simon Cowell should be kicking himself (as much as I love him).. He missed extreme talent here.

[NajhaeT]

@CauseImMrsBrightside wasnt his fault she got voted off, and look where she is now, guess it was meant to be, even though i thought she shouldve went further too, but shes a superstar now

[raff23]

you could not possibly sing this any better, absolutely incredible performance. Far too good for any idol franchise lets be honest they did her a favour by eliminating her.

[Popsmonkeywrench]

Just wow. I actually got chills. THis was amazing. 

[flm99]

yeeah!!!

[2013cenafan]

What season of American Idol was this song preformed

[Nikolaika77]

about a year later after this she wins grammy's and an oscar! and many other awards!

[huffdaddypimp]

she is effin amazing i luv her

[NeverMind368]

If this would've been ten years earlier, they might as well have but this in the Lion King!( The original is cool though).

[pir8grl08]

Did anybody else's hair stand up? Of course, I get chills when ever anybody does a good job with a Walt Disney classic. Wonderful job, Jennifer. :)

[MissCandyCool]

34 people shivered from her singing and missed the like button. :( Shit happens...

[UnderRestrains]

@MissCandyCool Your comment made my day lol shit definitely does happen :)

[passions2006]

@UnderRestrains LOL! That has to be one of the funniest youtube comments I have ever seen.

[luisg13571]

@MissCandyCool make that 42

[morningreis]

holy fuck.

[HERBLANDZ]

after this she went home that america for yo ass.but this sexy black woman got to sing and win oscar for it so fuck american idol voters i leave it to god if theres talent

[josnaleb]

@HERBLANDZ i think it was best that she didn't win the whole thing.. Look at where she's at now... She's an amazing artist and an Oscar winner... ;)

[MrKenton9]

murdered it

[nealaaroha2104]

32 people missed da like button and got da dislike 1 instead..

[YamiRyan4509]

damn.

[blackbenz300e]

Jennifer Hudson used to be in cast of the Disney Magic Cruise ship and she would sing the Circle of Life in the stage show Disney Dreams aboard the ship and it was amazing just how it is now.

[MVcoasterdesigns]

should hav been her and fantasia in the final!

[jlass7]

@divamonroe1 AMEN 2 THAT

[Porsche21]

Check out 13yr. old Kobi Williams sing Circle of life SEARCH Fenton Moose Idol 2010 Final 10 Act 1 Kobe Williams

[idolfan9495]

A star is born. American Idol manipulates the audience vote by favoring some singers over others. Jennifer was treated as kind of a joke almost from the beginning. Here, she made them take her seriously, but it was too late. Oh well, she had the last laugh and this performance lives on in history on YouTube.

[KoiiGaming]

@idolfan9495 are you retarded shes famous son

[FloodPlains]

@idolfan9495 *sigh*

[shinkukirai]

She got voted off after this, and I was PISSED. Because this gave me chills, like I was fucking floored. She's amazing!

[jaquen1977]

@shinkukirai No she didn't. Ryan said she garnered the most votes of the night for this performance. After this she did "I Have Nothing", and her final performance, the one she was voted out after, was "Weekend in New England".

[shinkukirai]

@jaquen1977 Weird. I totally remembering it that way, but it has been years since this season was out. I still think she should have made it to the end. But I guess it doesn't matter, she's doing well for herself now. Have you seen how much weight she has lost? I want to high five her~

[jaquen1977]

@shinkukirai Yes she has done very well. I was a big fan of hers from almost day 1 on the show, even before the greater audience at large and judges took note with her "Circle of Life" rendition. "Weekend In New England" was ever better, and I recall the shock of she, Latoya, and Fantasia all ending up in the bottom 3 that week. She definitely got the last laugh after Simon told her she wouldn't make it without AI. She's a bonafide, Oscar winning, gorgeous star, and I'm happy for her.

[yonmarq]

AWESOME!!!! Is a Good Song!! and Excelent Interpretation!!!

[sarahweatherby02]

AMAZING!!!! :) WOW!

[MsRawrDinosaur]

Beautiful. Chills. AWESOME!

[Khazanah]

I hope her rendition will go to the public ears, or even a The Lion King DVD exclusive. :)

[MsRockerGal44]

DAMN!! She's crazy good! Such a powerful voice!

[scottishroad35]

she is so classy! love her voice, and may God bless her continously!

[Flauschbally]

AWESOME. She is brilliant. WOW, WOW, WOW!!!! What a woman.

[LazingOnSunday]

she definitely got pipes!!

[nydayvyd]

loved it then... and love it even better now...stay up Jenn!

[SomeKrazyDude]

the people on american idol actaully had voices, and now its just a bunch of off tune kids that don't know what their doing.

[dragontato1]

Hannibal means was way better sorry jennifer your a great singer but jsut not as good

[ZaraChiron]

*I love the way she enjoys her own vocals-just in the zone :)*

[brandonhytr]

that was the best whooo i have chill bumps

[PrinceLansten]

That's so perfect. Jennifer is a great singer,and this song .. wow, this song is THE SONG!

[thedancepolice333]

watch it , love it ---- >>>  youtube.com/watch?v=yYC0-yELdJ­Q

[freakkai]

thats realy bad <_<

her voice ist not so beautiful jou don't remeber her Voice, and there were no feelings within

[neecee401100]

@freakkai lmao i felt a lot of feeling.

[oxZanessaLovee]

i have goosebumps!

[jomac012]

literally gave me shivers! Brilliant! Far better than the Disney Circle of Stars shit who masacre this song

[startrish1]

wow.

[AllAmericanSwagBoy]

so much goosebumps

[stazzia2010]

This performance was when it hit me just how much of a star Jennifer is. Brilliant.! I love it!

[GameMaestro14]

She's very good, I'm not sure I really like her voice on this song though. But that's me.

[mrsofficer23]

she makes it seem so effortless :)

[peter21d]

She should have won! 

[cherd1971]

wow i heard this song many times but she does it the best :)

[princev11]

shes sayin the wrong lines from :34 to :47 lol

[mawoane]

@princev11 sorry but it is not the wrong line. It's a line specially made for the Lion King shows onboard the Disney Cruise Ships and Disney's Park, which she used to perform 5 days a week. And I feel greatful to have had work with such an artist. You Rock Jen, we miss you at Disney.

[musicwrit6]

During the Top 11 week, SImon told Jennifer that she was out of her leaugue and she told him that the best was yet to come. POINT MADE!!! This girl is a beast on the mic. I love it!!!

[entertainer1987]

BRILLIANT! I FRICKEN LOVE HER!

[nightslash987]

The Circle of Life...long live the Lion King!

[ooamaimomooo]

there aren't people like this on american idol anymore.

[buckeejit]

@Creapiano I'm comparing 2 artists that have sang the same song.

[SusanDuch]

Please where I can find this version of Circle of Life ....The Original by Elton John is low for woman... Some advises, links or somthing please

[RedbeardNC]

@SusanDuch the version from in the musical is sung by Carmen Twillie...maybe having that name will help your search.

[Polissimaa]

I'm like O_O what a powerful voice, damn!!!!!

[MistuhMooshii]

amazing stage presence.

[ikurasake]

What a shitty arrangement, but a great singer.

[Timamalao]

Whoa I just got goosebumps. O.o'

I love this woman's voice! :)

[margaby2001]

Loved this performance.....

[ANorthwestLifeSeatte]

No one sings this song better than Jennifer Hudson.

Just my opinion.

[justinchester0018]

Love jen as always

[cross12006]

Amazing!

[cross12006]

F***ing AMAZING SIMPLY AMAZING!

[Littlescienceguy]

This was one of my favorite performances of hers from American Idol.

[veraroyale]

flawless

[RadiantSilverlighter]

I always liked this song.

[sharpiestuff12]

she's amazing!

sadly this completely justifies how aweful this season is!

ugh!

Crystal, Siobhan and Andrew are the only ones with true original talent.

If you're voting for anyone else you should be ashamed.
