Easy To Be Hard

[Elekktra7]

I think she's over acting. She has a great voice but this song is not only about shouting loud. She needs to be sweeter while heartbraking. Cheryl Barnes was and she wasn't a shouter.

[ohsinnaman]

love the gay recording this :)

[modzero1]

She totally butchered this once beautiful song...if you want to hear this song in its glory listen to the original...that girl had real soul...

[IAMTEABUTLER]

And this is why she is my favorite singer!!!!!!!!!!

[gpowell09]

stunning!

[retrorteretro]

wow

[atlsuperstar]

First off she sung this song because she did a "Hair" Benefit Concert on Broadway and performed this song..and she sounds amazing!

[wendyluvselliott]

Pretty much the exact version as the Original 'Hair' soundtrack.

So poignant today.

God help this girl and her entire family.

[zoomgirl]

This especially breaks my heart with what she is going through.

[funkadelic89]

i think my heart melted.

[valedictorian2004]

Jennifer is pretty much singing this the way it is sung in HAIR the musical. I don't she was thinking about Three Dogs Night. What is that anyway?

[jjack51]

this is from hair not 3dog night

and i think

she did amazing =]

[jadesystem]

You ripped-off Three Dog Night with this terrible rendition. Great songstress with

a great voice, but this is the wrong song !!

[Support4MySingers]

Yeah for YOU and YOU only. This is one of my fave songs from her. ANYTHING Jennifer sings even if she sings it the exact same way as someone else (Which she never does) always makes it JENNIFERS!!!

[limeytrash]

Chuck Negron is probably laughing his ass off.

[georgelee43211]

she's beautiful

[wonderfulhuman161]

Hated it! So overwrought. Save this bullshit for the national anthem.

[lillybruce]

Shut up, you fucking ignoramus.

[smartkart]

This gorilla-looking woman ruined a classic song.

[UltimateXorn]

I'm not gonna hate on your comment, but that "gorilla-looking woman" is a multiple-award winner and rich with money and richer with talent...so don't hate...congradulate.

[limeytrash]

Congradulate? WTF kind of spelling is that? Trailer-trash lingo?

[UltimateXorn]

Just because I misspelled ONE word does that automatically relagate to me speaking "Trailer-trash lingo"?

Give me some credit for actually typing WHOLE WORDS. ("WTF"... really?)

Thank you for responding anyway.

[metalman1900]

Terrible rendition of the Three Dog Night song.

[sargeanthulka]

I think she oversings the song, and it's meaning gets lost, but she's still very good, and she wound up being much better than Simon Cowell thought she'd ever be!

[oneazariah]

Yeah Simon's a fool, that has admitted his mistake. However, how did you determine that the meaning was lost? I think she communicated the song in the way she knows and understands. Maybe she doesn't sing it like 3DN, but that's what makes it worth listening to in my opinion.

[ps3guy209]

this sounds like shit! i wana hear 3 dogg not a church version in georgia

[agentnuzzy]

You obviously do not know the true meaning-or origin-of this song.

[mordoc7]

and what are the true origin of this great song cuz this song was made for a musical.

[MacoCwacko]

your smoking rock if you think that

[flhamercenter]

lolllllllllllllllllllllllllll check out Jennifer warnes version...its a lot less passionate

[oneazariah]

Well then listen to 3DN's version you idiot. Not to mention this song is from a musical.

[matthewdbrooks]

Sorry guys.. I thought the first time didn't post so I re-wrote it! But so you know... she sang the shit out of this song!

[matthewdbrooks]

This is an AMAZING rendition of this song. I have performed this show and it is one of my Favorites! "Easy To Be Hard" has an arch that few people either understand or are able to effectively discover and produce. Rado and Ragni knew exactly what they were doing. Jennifer Hudson does this flawlessly! Also, to compare Jennifer Hudson to Christina is just wrong. They are both powerhouses, but on two TOTALLY different levels... Kudos J-Hud!

[matthewdbrooks]

This rendition is AMAZING...I have performed this show and it is one of my FAV's. This song has an amazing Arch that people don't normally get, also...to compare Jennifer Hudson with Christina Aguilera is just wrong! Rado and Ragni knew exactly what they were doing when they wrote this, and J. Hudson understands the story that is being told.

[garzaeduardo]

she destroyed the song,like christina aguilera ,they gotta wahwah the song to f'in death.

[dzoolk]

sux on ice!

[Grillchips]

Now that's soul!!! You show them Jennifer!!!
