[mackenzieluvsu729]

Favorite song...

[keepfighting93]

Absolutely breathtaking. no words to describe this. 

[graffikmonkey]

[ainavirin]

Don't know anything about singing and all, but that is an amazing voice with incredible power like I've never heard before!

[jonastoru]

da vontade de chorar é muita emoçao que ela coloca na voz

[Mehllo]

213 people wouldn't know talent if it smacked them upside the head. What a moving song!

[strbucksfee]

I have goosebumps.. She's incredible.

[moochypoos]

this woman didnt win american idol? this is why simon needs to go. seriously people.

[MrRonizzy]

@moochypoos umm Simon isn't a judge anymore he left like 2 seasons ago the lineup is now Steven Tyler, Randy Jackson and J. Lo

[Sumaiya1010]

[sunshine246801]

[greymacaw]

If she could do it without the typical JH screaming, it would be awesome.

[ouiali]

soooooooo muuuuuchhhh soooouuul! i would literally kill to be able to sing like this.

[AcCiOdOuBlEsTuFf101]

@Whittleychic they are different people.dreamgirls was a play and jennifer holliday played effie. they both sing together in another video

[Bob981461]

I would like to see someone else sing better than that. That's right, no one can do that.

[Whitleychic]

Are Jennifer Hudson and Jennifer Holiday the same person? or is Jennifer Holiday from the original.

[Whitleychic]

beyonce threatened to quit the movie unless they wrote in a solo for her because of this song. because Jennifer Hudson is AMAZING!!!!

[drigao16]

@Whitleychic lol

[Impressions42]

Jennifer Holliday. Nothing more to say

[jonavila69]

how she became a singer she just knew how to scream......

[Nuzzyable]

I loved deena , but effy was too good O:

[MyAnimalForm]

S.I.C.K!

[sugarymakeup]

my music teacher yelled at me for suggesting this as a school musical its the greatest ever made so now i have to keep suggesting west side story

[TheDecayingRedPlague]

Jennifer Hudson was so beautiful when she was a bigger :/ I was happy to see one person in a movie who didnt have to be tiny to be considered beautiful... and yet she had to change herself ;~; sadface

[HeyitsMaryClaire]

2006?!! OMG! D:

[TheFreddyEduard]

For which her has missed

watch?v=Fd_slOfM6IM

[yleineping]

look at : aliyah kolf and i am telling you

she is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­yyyyyyyyyyyyy better

[randomstuff763]

@yleinepin I found her audition. It was VERY well sung and for one so young a great vocal accomplishment, but she wasn't "way better". While there's no doubt she's talented, she's still a child, her vocal cords haven't fully developed. Her over-pronouncation of the words took away from the song as well, granted she speaks another language so she could be overcompensating. She did have an excellent performance, exceeding all expections, but I wouldn't say she's better than Jennifer Hudson.

[yleineping]

look at : aliyah and i am telling you

she is way better!!

[TheOnix123]

Damnit, I'm a dude and I'm crying while listening to this song... yet I cannot explain why...

[Isabelleparish]

@TheOnix123 Ah. So guys don't usually cry? Quit that ''macho'' shit. They're just as emotional.

[junenostalgia]

@Isabelleparish I'm a guy, when I get emotional I just don't cry. i want to, to let all my emotions out, but it's actually hard for me to cry, and it's not because I'm trying to act "macho"

[beauty45273]

@TheOnix123 lol its ok let it out dont be ashame of ur sensetivity bahahahah

[rtoriq]

@TheOnix123 It's how powerful the ending is, trust me. Had almost the same effect when i saw it in the theater.

[danielleserna65]

Check out Aliyah from Holland's Got Talent

[briunetie]

4 minutes and 43 seconds of pure awesomeness. that voice. ohh.

[PARISFLOR]

Her voice is so perfect. One of the most talented singers!!!!

Also one of the best american idol contestants cause she shows us that you dont neeed to win american idol to make a good carreer.

I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU JENNIFER HUDSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

[awsookysooky]

[paitee27]

I like this  song.

[the1andonlyAMAZON]

please watch me sing this song!

[CertifiedJamaican]

if i was jennifer hudson, i would be happy as hell that i lost American Idol. Look how far that lost took her. Oscar and (i think) a grammy.

[mabelameba]

@CertifiedJamaican who won that season,i find it hard to believe some could top that voice?

[icarly46]

@CertifiedJamaican oscar, grammy, bafta and golden globe. yeah, i think she's pretty happy she's not spoiled with that american idol.

[suberkin]

@CertifiedJamaican she didn't get that far because she lost... wtf is wrong with you?

[create87forward]

@CertifiedJamaican I know she is. Her loss is proof that American Idol is crap

[ThayraMB]

BREATH WOMAN

[marceforeman]

i love this song

[tinkeefly1]

She has such a poweful voice if only i had a voice like that.....mhh i wish (Thanks Jenifer Hudson for being one of my idols) <3

[CHR1S1daGLEElover]

OMFG

[charlieisanangel]

this song is an epic experience that will never matched

[PeachesSaysLickIt]

207 people are living alone.

[kelseyrox924]

I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!! 100 LIKES ill sing this to my class at the talent show!!

[jonasbabe75]

How on Earth did she not win that season of American Idol.

[charlieisanangel]

@jonasbabe75 what do you mean she didnt win

???

[jonasbabe75]

@charlieisanangel She lost and she won. I think she won a grammy for this I am not sure at all. Also she lost weight and she looks hot. So she won more than she lost.

[dirtyyoungin]

@Prajadhara in my mariah carey voice, "I don't know her." no, joking the boy is talented but he didn't make jennifer hudson sound crummy.

[mscort03]

chills every time i hear her voice

[Pokebleh]

I love this version but I think Holiday has got it down.

[kelseyrox924]

OMGGG!!!!!!!!!!!! i love this movie its sooo sad and soo awsome i love her voice!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and i just whatched this movie todayyy

[BabyNaYeBoo]

I'm sorry but whateva. Idk what you ppl are listening to because Hudson's version is WAYYY better than Holliday. J-Holliday growls like her ass is hungry or something but that's just my opinion

Love it <3

[NatSOLOx14]

duet with adele? am i the only one hoping there's some possibility?

[XxYunaMokoxX]

@NatSOLOx14 not interested...

[blahblahblahman]

@NatSOLOx14

Adele's voice is no where near the level ofJ.Hud's. Two totally different levels of singers here. Jennifer Hudson has a world class power house of a voice...Adele is just a decent neo-jazz/soul/pop singer.

[TheGreenerItGets]

@NatSOLOx14 Oh my word. How has that not happened yet?

[VNVet52]

@NatSOLOx14 I think you hit on something.

[CraazyFaai]

@MegaRainbowKisses a gift from A god :)

[MsSexybunneh]

Jennifer Hudson made beyonce's singing look like shit in the movie lol :D don't get me wrong they're both wonderful singers but Jennifer Hudson's voice is better she was born with the talent :D!

[drigao16]

@MsSexybunneh it's funny that people who don't know about vocals say that.

shaky and flat jennifer :/

[Kawasakiebabe09]

she lost mad weight !

[loveandrainwater]

Whoo!!! Tell him JHud!!!

[RedOctoberrForeverr]

The Glee version sucked. I listen to the first seven seconds and I was just like "No..... Just, No...."

[zoemichellebabieee]

i love jenniffer hudson n beyonce!! :)

[TannerAllan1]

I like Mercedes version on glee better...

But Jennifer had more meaning behind it.

[blktrekie29]

@TannerAllan1 Amber Riley, who plays "Mercedes" actually auditioned for this role, but they told her she was too young (17 at the time).

[KeiraMossLubiin]

You're Gonna Love Me !

[ElonaNeal]

Lord hav mercy she know no she sang the hell out of that song

[spongebobCP]

i'm singing this for my da on his b-day on tuesday, cuz he's loves jennifer hudson's voice...if it goes well, i'll post a video of it!! :)

[kitcat271]

loved the film dream girls and bought the video, jennifer singing this song gave me chills what can i say fabulous voice and song.

[Dicmann]

thumbs up if you're here because of Jack Vidgen (y)

[BouchonDeStylo]

Great vocals! Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[msxallie]

this is deff my favorite part pf the moviee!!!

her emotion into the song makes me cry everytime.

[marleenh10]

the glee version is beter

but thats my opinion

[mrremi12s]

i can remember when i was a teenager listening to jennifer hudson on american idol and i thought she was going to win for sure becasue she had an amazing voice..but she didnt then i was happy to see her go further then i thought she would i was so happy for her she is an amazing person with an amazing voice

[mumbulla666]

AMAZING. that is all. Jack Vidgen sounds amazing singing this song!

[oihugs]

is this the original?

[jeffseryoso]

not just the amazing voice, but the emotion was really there!!!! woot.

[CancerSoCuteWilks628]

Try singing this at a Talent Show

[wshpleader18]

@JoyceLicorish i think you did better,, :D i just didnt like how jennifer hudson sang it,,

[FHSProduction]

Will did it better.

[Roonyskatoony]

Bloody hell the woman has a set of lungs :D

[MrJfam1]

type in "syllables response" the kid is killing it!!!!

[MrCrysha]

Twwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwops!!......­...............

[JoyceLicorish]

I love DREAMGIRLS, had the honor of playing Effie and I tell you J. Holiday is one tough act to follow. I did it before JHud did the movie... Let me know what you think of my performances on my channel.

[jackyougetme]

@JoyceLicorish yours is a good performance, but j hudson defeats any other singer at this song, she just has brings more emotion and power and soul to the performance, your good though!

[JoyceLicorish]

@jackyougetme Thanks... appreciate your opinion... keep in mind my performance was also live... makes a big difference when you have no studio assistance... or retakes to your credit... this was also after 7 consecutive performances so I had to lower the key because I had strained my voice so... I think on a good day my performance would be as good as hers.

[motheroftyazijah]

@jackyougetme wow biig heads ugly people.

[arielkao520]

this song just broke my heart but i absolutelyyy love it, jennifer hudson is amazing :)

[BlazedHearts]

Just a question. In Dream Girls the movie, are they playing the parts as part of a broadway show, or is the movie depicting it as if its a real-life thing?

[davidmaren2000]

charice is much better

[bigbiyr3]

ya, um how did she not win idol?

[XxjessicaxX34]

I wonder if she can still hit those notes :P

[noreexic]

@XxjessicaxX34 why wouldnt she be able to, the song is only a few years old?!!!!!!!

[soulfly499]

wow not even beyonce has that kind of range to her voice go Jennifer Hudson

[ksha]

still my song

[Larkizzle1]

lol, I came for 2:57. Just me?

[shajustice49]

very very nice as always..........J

[IAmUnique678]

@PassionFruit254 uhmm no, not now not ever..

[LivyBeauty]

Loveyou ! My dream ? Her voice !

[jojoxx1231]

one of the best voices of our time

[SumerSmiles]

yeeeeeessssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!­! JENNIFER HUDSON! YES YES YES!!!!!! Just KILLED it! OH I LOVE YOU!

[YouWereBornToServeMe]

@PassionFruit254

In some aspects, I agree. She can do things that Jennifer can't, and vice versa. Overall, however, this Jennifer gets 9.7/10 whilst Mercedes gets 9.6/10. And Jennifer Holliday gets a 9.8/10, she just blew it away.

[12qtpiejay]

i love this song

[SaarTJuh21]

Jennifer Hudson, damn. she's a great singer!

[OneandOnlyMusician]

JESSSUUUUUSSSSS!!!!!

[LionRoseProductions]

WOW

[TbabiNTBBLover]

Omg I have goosebumps.

[DrClawizdead]

If any of you have any more doubts about what I say here are the two side by side singing.

watch?v=QtDFHXjJ7SU

Go watch and maybe you'll understand what I'm saying.

[Yami02blu]

@DrClawizdead Jennifer Hudson version has been recognized within the industry as a masterful rendition of a song which only a few privileged souls even have the chops to pull off.

Jennifer Holliday's version set a bar which is so high that none of us thought anyone would do a awe inspiring remake of.

To say one is better than the other is subjective. Nothing but personal opinion. Stop being a pompous ass about which one you like best. Sheesh. Grow the fuck up.

[DrClawizdead]

@Yami02blu Yes it is my personal opinion. If you let what others think bother you so much you're the one with growing up to do.

On a side note: cursing to get your point across is the very definition of juvenile.

[Yami02blu]

@DrClawizdead What random, anonymous people on the internet, who I will NEVER EVER cross paths with in RL, think of me doesn't bother me one bit. You're a nobody to me. Nothing. Words on an internet page. Might as well be a bot.

I was just commenting about how much YOU despise anyone defending Jennifer Hudson. If you were in the entertainment business you would appreciate just how hard this song is to sing and just how phenomenal her performance is. 'specially in this era

[Yami02blu]

@DrClawizdead Phrases such as "Shut the fuck up, what the fuck, who gives a fuck, fuck you" are not juvenile by any means, They are lexicons in our geopolitical society. Just about everyone who I encounter, curses in some form.

If it offends you how I speak, then I can appreciate that, and I will make sure to be mindful to not hurt your delicate feelings. You've been yelling at everyone who comes to this page for weeks so I guess you actually are "better" than everyone here.

Meh...fuck off

[felimonst]

OMG! amazing voice you should thanks god for Super beautiful and wonderful voice -3 jenn

[applepi78]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER!!

[LaMcusi]

woow!!! *enough said*

[rachelkrekorian]

makes me think of my baby we broke up

[edstiller4]

BEAUTIFUL!!!

[DrClawizdead]

Hudson's voice is not strong enough for this song. She has a nice pitch and her voice is almost flawless but that's the problem.

She sings it squeaky clean and this is a song you have to get nasty with and let loose. Perfect notes be damned you have to let your hair down and belt it out so the cheap seats can fell you. When she actually tries to get loud with it she falls flat.

[youngatheartgirl]

@DrClawizdead

Really? I thought she let everything out.

[DrClawizdead]

@youngatheartgirl Go check out Jennifer Holliday's version. I mean there's really no comparison. Jennifer is a good singer but this song is not for her style.

[Yami02blu]

@DrClawizdead Maybe you should approach the guy who hired her and tell him he doesn't know diddly squat about singers. Not only did he hand pick her, but he also hired Holiday as well. Perfect notes are not necessary? Sorry but she is letting her hair down.

I don't know what you're expecting but she was the right person, the right size, the right look and had the right voice.

[DrClawizdead]

@Yami02blu Hudson does not have the voice for this song. She can't get nasty like Jennifer Holliday.

If you think Hudson even approaches the emotion Ms. Holliday puts into this song you're dreaming and this song is all emotion. Singing well isn't enough.

[thanittra]

I was so stunned when I watched this performance, great singing and acting. The ultimate vocal singer ever. This show really touched me.

I wonder who is better vocal between Jennifer Hudson VS Alexandra Burke (she is also great!).

[nhahais]

howwwwwwwwwww does she sing like that??? like im in awe!! <3 <3

[PeaceLovePink223]

Holy fuck
