Jennifer Hudson - Circle Of Life (With Judges Comments)

[h3ll1zh4ng3l]

10 deaf people around here. Simon's followers maybe? (x

[barkansinger]

The best singer to ever perform on an American Idol stage.....



[missflovia]

Can someone please remind me again why she didn't win.....

[georgeblackmon1]

I AM SOO GLAD THAT JENNIFER WAS SAVED BY SOMEONE WOH RECONIZED RARE, POWERFUL TALENT. I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW SIMON WAS CONTINOUSLY DISPUTING HER TALENT, OR PERFORMANCE, ON VARIOUS EPISODE. I REALLY BELIEVE THAT SIMON WISHES A THOUSAND TIMES OVER A DAY, HE HAD RECONIZED, AND SIGN JENNIFER UP HIMSELF, JENNIFER IS MAKING LOTS OF MONEY, AND DOING VERY WELL, ALSO SHE IS MAKING HER PRODUCER A BIG BUNDLE. SIMON, I'M SORRY, BUT YOU MADE A BIG MISTAKE ON THIS ONE!!!!!!

[kozabbe]

amazing song and voice, wow

[TheChewitchewit]

thumbs up if ur mouth dropped

[ddland45]

Every time I hear this performance from Jennifer, it gives me the chills. How she lost American Idol is still a mystery to me. Only Patti Labelle and maybe Whitney had more power than Jennifer and her later success proved that she was the best after all.

[SirRightAlot]

Not even enough dislikes for a lightsaber!

[AcCiOdOuBlEsTuFf101]

Any people who like her singing go to and i am telling you from dreamgirls.... Way better than beyonce.

[Vocalz3]

That Girl Sangz every song she sings I Love Jennifer Hudsons voice!!

[sexycubanchocolate]

One of the best performance by Ms. Jennifer Hudson. When she sang this song a star was born america. Can we say Grammy Winner...

[VictorJv2011]

wow...i never knew she was from american idol...wow

[holiviaartist]

you have talent you need 2 sing always GOD blessed you

[AkiiwaJSK]

8 years ago o.O wow

[Chris201076]

This is exactly the voice this song was written for

[shushutheking3894]

JENNIFER HUDSON IS A BEAST NOW FUCK WHAT ALL YOU PEOPLE SAYING NOW AMERICAN IDOL FUCKED UP WHEN THEY LET HER GO LOOK AT HER NOW

[longbeachlt]

she sucks, she bailed out at the MJ show

[85Silvana85]

@longbeachlt Know why ? Yes, please explain .. No ? leave it then ..

How they call it in Holland : Boeie !!

[syncswim123]

I will never forget this performance. She wowed us all and showed us what was to come!

[Dollfather]

Ofcourse Elton John is better but this is gooooood to :D

[mikiebart01]

Beyond anything I have ever heard in my life besides maybe celine dions version of O Holy Night!!Simply Incredible..Stunning!!!

[MrArmanifierce]

the girl in 2:06 only stood cuz it's protocol, but she definitely dont like jennifer

[Neshhi]

@MrArmanifierce So true

[shezie125]

Simply breathtaking!

[LoverofLiszt]

Yuck! Belting and wailing, nothing more. No emotion what so ever. An emotional and epic song like this should be caressed and taken to a much lower key if you´re Jennifer Hudson. I´m close to calling it a disgrace to everyone who´s made this song great; Elton John, Tim Rice, Hans Zimmer, Carmen Twillie, Lebo. M, and the awesomeness that is the 32:nd Disney Classic.

[TommyGDub]

@LoverofLiszt Um, don't discredit a performance just because you don't like the genre of music. You can keep your classical soft pop; I'll take this any day. Jennifer's performance is a transcendent vocal moment. She can sing from the bottom to the top and the muscle she has to sustain notes, like here, is astounding. Even your boy Elton showered her with praises, calling her his "favorite out the whole lot." So I think it's safe to say that you're in the minority.

[LoverofLiszt]

@TommyGDub

When have I said that I´m into classical soft pop, or that I dislike whatever genre of music you´re referring to? I just think that she should aim more for the belting kind of R&B more suitable for her voice. Also, I just noted that she made the biggest newbie flaw, not only breathing in the middle of a sentence, but in the middle of a multi syllable word! That´s what I teach 8 year olds not to do!

p.s. "Your boy Elton"? I´m a QUEEN fan!!!

[joeyjojojnr1981]

the girl on the right at 2:06 used to be the favourite daughter, now she's just the daughter who did fuck all.

[Scorpion773]

This was when I said to my friend...OK! Just cast her as Effie, Fantasia as Lorel and Beyonce as Deena! Dreamgirls movie, done and done!

[TimKoopman10]

lol the presentor in the beginning next to simon. he's hillarious XD whats his name?

[PedroYounisGoncalves]

@TimKoopman10 ryan seacrest

[kariberrie]

Simon never liked Jennifer, lol

[KeesusChrist]

@kariberrie Simon is a pervert. He only likes the contestants that are young and attractive.

[kariberrie]

@KeesusChrist I agree. She did amazing! And she seems like a really nice, humble woman!

[hannitic]

how can the girl at 2:05 just stand there without clapping??

[hisbabyboo187]

@hannitic cause she a hater

[princesstruc2005]

@hannitic I think she's jealous...

[trw1501]

@hannitic She was STUNNED....MESMERIZED....SPEEC­HLESS! That's how.

[Shishinohono]

@hannitic she was in shock of the amazingness

[soulmusic82]

Hey the Watevia-award-girl sit in the audience ^^

[danidall]

the judges comments are so underrating, she deserved much more!

[sterlclan]

talk about goosebumps.

[ImPr3tty]

she brings tears to my eyes when she sings smh

[tyryryrrr]

ummm why in the hell was she voted off of idol?? what in the hell was america thinking not voting for her!! although she had done amazing since kicked off but seriously..why???

[sillygal25]

@tyryryrrr there was a power outage affecting her city and her main support base couldn't even get through

[sillygal25]

@tyryryrrr of course Elton John called it racism that the 3 best singers, Fantasia, LaToya, and Jennifer were in the bottom 3 that week..........hmmmm

[MattDaBat86]

Look at the girl at 2:06. HAHA. What did Jennifer Hudson do to her? She looks pissed! Haha.

[atomicnortherner]

2:06 to 2:08 what is up with that misserable cow?

[VeeRazzles]

@atomicnortherner It's Whatevia. 

[GregWn]

Hate YouTube now cutting off the last couple seconds of the videos!!

[ThePharaoho]

Diva!!!

[naruhina555100]

the right beauty of jenifer's voice appeared, best performance ever..

[idolfan9495]

Whatevia at 2:06.

[michalkizielewicz]

[LyLe2oo6]

Whatevia <33

[melo19ful]

[TCt83067695]

2:05 why is that girl's arms crossed? is she a hater?

[jaderrw]

@TCt83067695 She's Whatevia.

[edrivera20]

This woman is becoming a legend in her own right. What american idol winner can compete with her.

[N30nBby]

How the fxck did she get voted off :|

[mrkgt12]

Wow, she's good :D Fantasia should have competed with her instead of that diana degarmo.

[blabbitymouf]

@mrkgt12 i don't even like thinking about that. why did they do my girl like that?

[mrkgt12]

@blabbitymouf i'm sorry? do you like diana degarmo?

[blabbitymouf]

@mrkgt12 no, they did jennifer wrong by eliminating her before degarmo. a showdown between hudson and barrino would have been truly amazing.

[mrkgt12]

@blabbitymouf yeah, i agree with that :D

[orchard361]

@blabbitymouf ....TOTALLY AGREE!!!!

[orchard361]

@blabbitymouf....WOULD HAVE BEEN THE BEST IDOL OF ALL TIMES!!!!

[blabbitymouf]

@orchard361 you right kanye...

[Nick153452]

@orchard361 Correction**** She is the best idol of all time

[mrkgt12]

@blabbitymouf yeah, that's what i mean. Fantasia should have competed with her than diana degarmo.

[BkNy06]

MUFASA! YOU WERE ALWAYS MY FAVORITE!

[ladynina46]

Eww She needs to learn how to brush her tongue! That's nasty!

[mchsbeijing32]

lol the idiot below me asked if she was 'lipsinking' on American Idol.

Come on now...

[mavica130]

lipsink ????

[XxCutieHoneyxX]

she's good but there is too much yelling

[dramasag]

Oh man I miss performances like these when brilliant singers like Jennifer and Fantasia really moved ppl instead of these corny performances on idol now.

[swebright]

We see raw and unpretentious performances during that time. Right now, it's just eye candy. No african american girls can sing or there are no more fatties in the USA.

[BrutalBubba]

Five words: HOW--DID--SHE--NOT--WIN?

[12bmills]

@BrutalBubba It's okay. Jennifer is the only Idol contestant to be an Academy Award winning actress.

[Shadoessa]

@BrutalBubba For the same reason Pia Toscano won't win. Because teenybopper girls are voting for the DUDES they have a crush on.

[mswilWonka]

10 people missed the like button

[Nick153452]

She didn't need to lose a pound.. She's the most beautiful woman, with the most beautiful voice in Hollywood.

[tamoomoo2]

2:06 = Whatevia

[VeeRazzles]

lol it's Whatevia!!!!

[Danny30011980]

Wow... What a voice! When she starts the chorus, the voice reminds me of Jenifer Rush in "The Power of Love"

[FutureAlpha10]

@MurkinLife111 Yes speak. Preach on preacher

[MurkinLife111]

The 10 people that disliked it

1= scar

9= hyenas

[redspotz]

awesome performance! love her voice! one of the great black diva voices in american idol!!! other favorites: kimberley locke, tamyra gray, vonzell solomon, la toya london, jordin sparks, melinda doolittle.. after them, there's none unfortunately! :(

[NajhaeT]

@redspotz naima will be added to that group, and you forgot paris bennett

[coolufatima1]

did jennifer sing it or elton sang it

[n3ksuJP]

Whatevia is a legend.

[seventeenboi]

She deserved top 2.

[deshamelove]

@Called2BeHoly FANTASIA

[bewarethebeef]

The first half of that was tingly

[GheyBoi91]

She got the most votes during this week.

[jojo145945]

LOL I love her family members reaction at 2:05 xD!!

[toyzyibz]

@jojo145945 U do know that they have passed away right? Died. Murdered. Why did you point them out? Very insensitive of you.

[jojo145945]

@toyzyibz I'm very much aware of the situation that she went through. I didn't reference her family members deaths. I was referring to her cousin at 2:05 who is standing there un-amazed after jennifer has just finished going into an extremely long glory note. don't make assumptions.

[p1nkalicioush0e]

@toyzyibz I think your comment took Jojos comment way out of context ..... The family members pictured at the end of the performance were not the ones murdered!! God know your facts before commenting on other peoples comments !!!!

[YourAngelofMusica]

Astonishing! I KNEW that Jennifer was a star from the first moment I heard her voice on Idol. She was the first person I called and voted for, lol. I got so upset when she was eliminated, but I knew that I would hear from her again. I cried when she won the OSCAR... look at what God can do!

[chocolantrosa]

@YourAngelofMusica she did it by herself god didnt do it for her... however, god made it possible for her to achieve it

[PoirePerry]

@chocolantrosa nope Allllll GOD 

[Kringerspice]

Gives me chills! This is simply amazing. :D

[trailed]

Aww brings back memories. RIP Mufasa

[fabioyabu]

@trailed MUFASAAAA! MUFASA MUFASA MUFASAAAAA!

[MrRustyspot]

A M A  Z I N G

[Bohekio]

those 10 dislike must be deaf

[tipofmytongue1024]

Back when American Idol was worth watching...performances like this are gold. I remember THIS was when she began to shine, God just had bigger plans.

[clauclaux]

@tipofmytongue1024 yep...he was masturbating while letting the world taking its course

[tipofmytongue1024]

@clauclaux lmao!!

[notabadguy06]

I remember watching this live and was thinking,"WHERE THE FUCK DID THIS COME FROM?" I was friggin blown away and tried to vote for her that night but couldnt get through because the line was busy.

[sourchick45620]

she should have really won that season...dont know what ppl were thinking when they voted her off!

[dman747707]

@sourchick45620 because she was actually quite inconsistent...not nearly as good as she is now.

[sourchick45620]

@dman747707 good point

[jaquen1977]

If you didn't watch this live, at the time, it's very hard to fathom what a MAGICAL idol moment this was. This is also the moment where America truly discovered Jennifer Hudson was.

[Juliz]

I hate to say it because I loved fantasia more during this season. But JHudd is the true winner, she is an Academy Award winning actress and Grammy award winning singer/songwriter. I'm so proud of what she has gone through to get there, her management did her justice.

[MiKebEnJiSlOvE1230]

@Juliz

shoulda been jennifer,fantasia,latoya in the finals

[sitiamh1]

AI season 4 was the best!!! They have the best singers!

[tHeSpydaYota]

Oh my! Was someone hating at 2:07?

[SdotChesley]

@tHeSpydaYota right! She was throwin a LOT of shade...

[healthhavencom]

Her big voice is perfect for that song.

[butterfly6581]

mufsa why he have to die why that damn brother of his

[ralle32]

YESSSSSS!!!!! Sing Jennifer......Oooh...I can't say it enuff!

[notabadguy06]

i remember watching this live and saying, "OH SHIT!" HAHA

[RicardoMarTnez]

I still get chills from ears to the sides of my face when I hear her sing that song. It works almost every time I hear it.

[PejaRapiLudzie]

My favourite performance

[Screengems1]

so beautiful! shattering vocals!!!

[WitoMakua]

I love the song, I love her, I love that voice...amazing!

[pwplayer29]

she is so amazing. She is a great singer and great actress. Expect great things from her.

[hisbabyboo187]

[demonwind92]
