Jennifer Hudson - I Believe In You And Me

[@UltraTalented]

Oscar winner, Grammy winner, Bafta award winner, Golden Globe award winner, and Image Award winner extrodinarly talented young woman!

[@wlj5209]

but has no number 1 single at all .

[@christinan6450]

From day 1 I loved J Hudson’s voice! I’m a fan forever. Yes she needed some serious styling early on, but I’m not listening to her clothing, I’m listening to her phenomenal voice. Right now she has proven she is a stellar performer/ entertainer & has developed a great fashion sense. Love you Jennifer!

[@major111795]

Her Voice has grown sooo much

[@justinchester0018]

Thanks to Randy for picking Hudson! Or else we will not see her talent shining through.

[@soundslikeblue]

Whiney recorded this song after her "best years" (till 1994), and it still remains the best Version! Jennifer sings well but you can not compare to one of the greatest female singers ever!

[@JeGaAms]

This might not have been the best, but she has grown into a GREAT performer - within no time! Thumbs up for Jennifer!!!

[@sallytedesco2192]

Jennifer Hudson was always my favorite from the start. There was always something about her that I thought she had the potential to make it big. I genuinely think believed in her. My intuition proved right. She has blossomed into one of today6 most talented singers and actresses of the day. Also, she is a popular talk show host into her 2nd season. And let's not forget she has won just about every entertainment award there is.

[@realnedd6326]

She didn’t win but doing fabulous in her career blessings 🙏🙏

[@JeanneVicars]

oh wow... she just sang for a minute and a half but didn't fail to give me goosebumps all over!!! great voice jen!

[@davefothergill]

2:42 to 2:45 very few can do that transition. MEGA-SUPERSTAR

[@Atlantisboi77]

I was bout to say the same thing her voice truly has grown

[@rellenoz]

I used to watch her on AI and think it must be hard to control so much voice. I'm glad she got it under control. She has grown so much vocally. I just love her.

[@yoco7290]

She is singing a Whitney and years later Whitney presented her with a Grammy and J Hud went on to do multiple Whitney tributes including BET Honors 2010 with Whitney in the audience ❤.

[@oopsiedaisy2156]

I'm so glad her mom got to see her do this.

[@larifari4898]

I think the most special thing about her is her low register and how easy it is for her to switch to the high register and also into her beautiful headvoice

[@momixalot]

When she sings "I was Lost" she just opened up her spirit it really touched me

[@walkingtrails7776]

I don't know who won but I know Jennifer Hudson.

[@Richard-lh3te]

Walking Trails 777 Fantasia won. She’s actually a very successful singer.

[@gootballe583]

Fantasia erm okay. Never heard of him/her/them

[@mangaleung]

Fantasia has a great voice but she could not make it like Jen. Unfortunately

[@ldp8956]

Goat Ball Your comment hurt me 😖😖

[@watercreamspalace]

@@gootballe583 You damn well know who Fantastia is.

[@francisasunio2573]

I love her She's one of my favorite singer in the whole world Jennifer Hudson

[@renatiplusinfusion8724]

Her voice grew so much it's crazy

[@irenedimarhos8738]

Wow!! Beautiful!

[@cecepow5596]

she's improved so much

[@tbewin1z143]

People forget she struggled a bit on the show. She got better after!!!

[@82austinut]

When I heard her sing this (and I was watching that night), I said this is a superstar. There's only one Jennifer Hudson.

[@soaribb32]

She always were good, but now. Now, she's impecable.

[@MzBakes]

Jeniffer has a beautiful voice and I love her to bits!

[@arabionjames9290]

Jen is an amazing singer.

[@AustinBHahn]

so beautiful! makes me wanna cry.

[@atltallone907]

True, i LOVE JHUD, but once WH sings a song..... its hers FOREVER!!!! lol

[@casregiver]

awesome jennifer hudson! mwah!

[@_MarieAn]

she is amazing

[@kevinpaul2333]

This moment actually determined her career.

[@rockstuff345]

OMG!! I F***ing LOVE HER!!!

[@ozzy-tubes]

Makenzie Thomas brought me here!!!!!

[@christophermoore1370]

Me too

[@fjordsi7404]

I remember Simon being unusually harsh on her back then

[@tbewin1z143]

He was like that with anyone who was a threat to his handpicked favorite, Fantasia!!!

[@mimifrancis9349]

The women is PERFECT..................!

[@clemarochies]

As if simon Randy or Paula could say anything bad about this woman i love her what a powerful voice

[@Exeq1987]

Yes, So to me. She is Glorious.

[@isnichoo]

AWESOME!

[@isnichoo]

I also love both of Melinda and Jennifer version of this great song They sang it differently Jennifer sang it so all out Melinda hitted some pitchy notes, but still great, love the way Melinda sang it, so warm

[@MrSoulshock4444]

I can feel whitney all over that performance. good job

[@goombapizza6335]

Nonsense, don't you dare do that to Whitney. This rendition was poop. I've heard better at my local karaoke.

[@lilloz2k8]

shes like the closest thing we will ever get to whitney and she is MAZIN

[@cherita18]

"Wrap it up, haha". I Luve u Jenny.

[@rebeccarebeccarosedefrance1729]

Dannnng gurrrl! Randy had some divine discernment, right?

[@creamytu]

osea asi o mas hermosa claro ke ella es la mejor te amo mi jennifer hudson eres especial te amo `preciosa

[@Support4MySingers]

This one was waaaaay better than her first (in the pink dress)! This had much more control and stronger vocals. And I really like this whole outfit on her too.

[@seventeenboi]

so sad about jen's family. my heart goes out to her. she is so talented.

[@Ntthabi]

And the Queen of soul chose her yes her to play Aretha Franklin!

[@calgboi]

I always rooted for her during the idol year. Even though no one I knew seen how good she really was. And now its funny, though that she never made it, to see her so successful. Guess it was a good thing she didn't win!

[@john352352]

Im not comparing her to whitney, i was just saying to Dooku that she doesnt have much to learn, shes an amazing singer. People assume that because shes singing a whit ey houston song, that shes trying to be better tha her. She had to choose a song someone else did, and she did it really well.

[@ladyandrini]

she's a better singer now then she was in her 'idol' days. that's why she has a friggin oscar.

[@iqkid1212]

ya imagine if randy didn't pick her :O. i wonder if she still would have gotten discovered. easily one of the best female vocalists on AI.

[@dannysimion]

she sounds nervous. not like today when her voice is more confident. can't blame her...she's in the spotlight big time. no pun intended.

[@user-tj7sy8rd3k]

She sounds nervous? Are you deaf?🤔

[@jimdavis081]

Jennifer Hudson has her own style. It's really hard to judge if the song she sings has really has a trademark of one true diva, Whitney Houston.

[@thehbss]

LA... if you think Jennifer has magical powers... Melinda is most surely the Godess I always thought she is...!!!

[@nathanielfamisan1968]

One of the very few things Randy Jackson did correctly on American Idol.

[@troynellsantana]

SHE OWES RANDY JACKSON!!!....man if it wasnt for him she would have been sent packing before the competition even started......im sure she would have still eventually made it but it got a little easier from the exposure that American Idol gave her....

[@grahepo]

goosebumps

[@MrJfam1]

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

[@Bosslady21]

Wow, she sounded good.

[@cindyrolle6476]

Not her best performance. But, Jennifer is everything wonderful now! One of the best vocalist of our time.

[@thehbss]

Me too...!!!

[@PauloRodrigues1404]

hud son canta muito! linda voz, mas considero whitney a melhor de todos os tempos, atualmente, devidos problemas de saúde não seja a melhor, mas ela marcou a história da música veio e ficou sendo a Diva mais Diva do mundo!

[@john352352]

have you seen Dreamgirls? She's up for an academy award. I highly doubt she has much to learn. can you sing like that?

[@lilloz2k8]

@dimestarr91 its casue she sang whitney thats why i said her :) xo

[@AgentAO7]

It was both great..Can't really tell who's better..But overall, I like Melinda's voice more..

[@isnichoo]

I think the best American Idol contestant ever is Adam Lambert :D

[@misterjerek]

The american idol save was made cos of her!

[@tbewin1z143]

No it wasn't they didn't do that until way after Season 3!!! You could argue it was done in response to Daughtry being eliminated.

[@tbewin1z143]

The Producers wanted Fantasia to win that year and were glad when Jennifer Hudson got the boot!!!

[@bonjour100]

when you say the female voice is classified by head, chest then falsetto, what is the difference between head voice and falsetto?

[@nottoomuch87]

EGOT WINNNEEERRRRRR!!!!!

[@prp134]

this was ok, I she improved sooooooo much after the show, specially in her range...she doesnt sing as low as she used to.

[@zion24]

Agreeeeee

[@TJNYC118]

yes

[@Tru.blu.taurus]

it was alittle rough at the beginning,but overall she did a great job

[@sourcheesepringles]

she is better today

[@lilloz2k8]

@dimestarr91 ohh right didn't know that :L xo

[@akira955]

@iqkid1212 if only they had saves back then

[@jungletwins]

i agree on that but check her out on the song CIRCLE OF LIFE then get back ;-)

[@moazalattar5626]

I Believe in jhud

[@Support4MySingers]

She don't sing like this anymore...hope she's bringing her vocals back on her new album!

[@AgentAO7]

But still Fantasia is the best American Idol overall..

[@kikizdabest]

her voice dead gave me the chills

[@MichaelMarshallstar]

@ynot6211 BETTA SAY DAT SHIT AGAIN!!

[@fabriziamarzani3814]

💣

[@wesv71]

Seacrest- "wanna thank Randy?", like she is 10.

[@touranomuut]

It's 2022 but I agree with Simon back then her style was very very very terrible not bcoz she was poor that time but more like... some people have terrible styling choice that make her like someone in depressed mental hospital and never take a bath for 10 years. Her voice was great but today's much improved technically and very stylish

[@tjackson0016]

Now there in the video; sorry to say!!!

[@bh2155]

She could not pull this one off. It's a difficult song to sing in the first place.

[@Right_Direction_]

Great voice but it looks like she got dressed in the dark LOL But I love her, such a talent.

[@dachampishea]

look up natalie weiss...

[@petc]

you i'm afraid are beyond help

[@mrgredy6275]

Your entire life wont lead you to sound neither a half Whitney.

[@RAPHIs]

great! but a bit toooooo fast...

[@00jayla]

Jennifer's voice is better than Amber's. BUT Amber sung this particular song better

[@Leron90]

This is nice...... I think i like Whitney better though.

[@iijghbh7609]

i just dont know

[@LuisMartinez-ut7vu]

Amber Holcomb sang it much better

[@billstone4522]

Amber who?

[@ciprianodefrancisca8242]

yeah Amber's better than this

[@SuperGinjisan]

Luis Martinez Agreed. Amber is way better

[@darthchiam]

omg that was terrible control... but a strong voice (she tends to be a little nasal at the high notes, doesnt she?) but I loved the "MEEE" at the end!

[@zdiiriye]

Simon isn't wrong..she dressed horribly...still love her though :Dx

[@atxsouthernbelle]

she did look a mess lol simon got on her about style lmaoo but it was an okay performance, she didnt know the words and it was qucik

[@singergirl1990]

R.ip .2 her mom

[@loramatildak5200]

This girl always had this obsessive need to prove she is the next #Whitney #Houston.... but she doesn't come close a bit... she has no.melisma and she is belting too much unneeded.

[@mc3092]

Gospel is Jhuds trademark style, I never thought she was trying to be Whitney.
