[lovewoman781]

i love jennifer hudson, she such amazing woman god bless you ...

[jean002able]

She is sooooooo amazing!!! This very talented artist can really sings anything. Now, that is something you can not say about everybody. Jennifer Hudson is incredible on all levels.

[youngdri08]

wow great vid! thx 4 posting! SING JENNIFER!!!

[youngdri08]

so why is everybody going so hard on jennifer! real talk she's like one of the real singers out today besides J. Sullivan, C.Michele, Fantasia etc. Everybody else that can really sing now days are found in the gospel industry! & no one can sing like WHITNEY! she was THE VOICE!

[kmaur21]

Damn she sounded mad weak on I'm Everywoman! Coko sounded better in her rendition but none of them heffas could sang it like Whitney or Chaka!

[youngdri08]

great 2 know...let her keep sounding "mad weak" i like it, her fans like it, others like it, the president likes it *smile* yup he asked her and her "Mad weak" voice to sing 4 him yet again

[CKB1987]

@kmaur21 Yeah!! Coko(SWV) sang the mess of out that song even when she got to the bridge she killed it!!! First Soprano all the way

[kmaur21]

Coko sure is a first soprano like prime Whitney very very high sopranos. Jennifer Hudson is a screaming alto or mezzo soprano at best. She does not have the tone and clarity of first sopranos like prime Whitney, Coko, Karen Clark Sheard.

[kmaur21]

But Coko did in mix voice, and Whitney did that sh.. in chest voice. Whitney's chest voice was crazy crazy high in her prime and she went higher during Bodyguard tour............

[CKB1987]

I knew that already!!!!

[kmaur21]

But don't she sound terrible at the bridge?

[CKB1987]

Who Jen?

[AliaTatyana]

Hey, VH1 Divas tonight...I wonder if you have to have cable/dish/satellite to watch it? Ours isn't working today because of repairs, but we get regular free channels....Bad day for this! I love Jennifer Hudson. Give her a break people, after her voice returns from having a baby she will be on fire. She's a true singer.

[IAmUnique678]

The haters are hilarious, I'm positive Jennifer shyts on your favorite singer(s) all day.. no matter what u say..

[CallYouTonight]

LMAO Oprah @ 1:55-1:57

SHe shouldn't sing with a mic, i wonder if it picked up her voice. LOL

[CallYouTonight]

Best of My Love was VERY VERY GOOD!!! But I'm Every Woman is untouchable. No one ever tops Whitney at her prime.

But I love J Hud. She still needs to control her voice though. I'm sure giving birth had something to do with it. Anyway, she's probably one of the greatest vocalists of this generation.

[youngdri08]

agreed

[kmaur21]

She sounds hot mess on Best My Love sorry and why she tried to hit those high notes on I'm Everywoman! The only one that can do them right is young Whitney and Coko does it alright but nowhere near Whitney. Whitney used to go higher live during Bodyguard tour all the time.

[DivasForeverChannel]

Excellent Performance!!!

[benniemccoy]

I think it's hilarious ... Whitney just sounded terrible a little over a week ago trying to push out the same song. Jen still sounded better than that performance. Jen did well

[zdsrf01]

It's so difficult to sing after having a child....And yes Jennifer have vocal deficiencies before she had the baby, but if you want her videos before she got pregnant, Jennifer was killing. (Dream the impossible dream).... I'll give her about 3 months to warm back up and let that wind reach down into her lungs and she can belt like she was before! GO Jennifer!

[youngdri08]

actually she was pregnant on Dream the impossible dream

[TheLipzShow]

where are all the people who said jen was the best vocalist? lol

[qua2324]

That was hot

[mphsmade]

she did great!

[Chimier]

IEW is a song only Chaka and Whitney (on a good day) should sing. No one else would do the song justice but these two ladies.

[ladyglen50]

Exactly!!!

[eternalsilverlight]

Agreed. Jen doesn;t have much control on her voice this performance really shows it.

[T2luvs]

yeah Jennifer really shouldnt have done this song if she couldnt handle the bridge. She basically screamed it out

[ga512]

i don't agree, those are really high notes, even chaka seems to "scream" sometimes and they both look comfortable to me.

[T2luvs]

No Chaka doesnt scream and Chaka has WAY more agility than Jen does. Listen to the bridge of Whitney's or Chaka's I'm "Every Woman" and compare theirs to Jen you will hear the difference.

[torchwoodlurve]

aretha would beat whitney. flat. whitney's brilliant. yeah. but aretha's just better. chaka, of course; she's the original :D

[kmaur21]

Please Whitney could sit all them heffas down with ease.

[kmaur21]

True Chimier!

[torchwoodlurve]

but aretha could make them stand and cry :)

[kmaur21]

True Ree has soul, but when comes to technique, range, power, vibrato Whitney sits all them down and whoever says otherwise don't really no want they talking about. Whitney really sung in her prime like no other!

[kmaur21]

Its funny how she was so straining in the I got it got it part. Those notes are hard to hit right. Coko from SWV did but in mix voice like Jennifer Hudson and it was not in chest like Whitney!

[ladyglen50]

This is your proof in the pudding that certain singers need to leave Chaka alone! Everyone can't do Chaka!!!

[nippyme]

yup and not everyone can make like Whitney on a legend like Chaka song......loves my Whitney :-)

[IAmUnique678]

Anywhoo back to the performance, she was AMAZING.. love her.. Thanks for posting this great video..

[trentnjones]

Great to see her back on the stage. I can't even tell she just had a baby!

[MrStyle23]

She sounds great! I would have went but 20,000 people is a lot of people to deal with. Obama in Grant Park was massive like that.
