Jennifer Hudson - "I'm Here," The Color Purple (Oprah Winfrey Tribute) | 2010 Kennedy Center Honors

[@nappybunny8221]

I mean, does she even need the microphone?! The power in those lungs could run every major city in the country

[@erintoney7137]

Actually she plays around on stage sometimes by holding the mic away (or putting it on the stand and walking away) and projecting. It’s pretty cool. So no. Sometimes I guess she doesn’t need it lol

[@stormcloud7305]

@@erintoney7137 Yep. That's some Patti LaBelle stuff. I love that Jen has truly come into complete control of her voice. It's huge and powerful. You should check out Patti LaBelle singing Forever Young at Live Aid. She left the mic behind and belted out in a huge stadium.

[@t.e.burgos3263]

@@londihmklondihmk9976 I think she is underrated in terms of her singing career and what a talent like hers could've accomplished in another moment in time. Seriously, she has one of the most powerful vocal instruments in pop culture currently, and yet she has never had a huge radio hit. Not even one. Imagine if she had been a new artist in the eighties or nineties; I bet she could have easily been one of the biggest-selling vocal powerhouses of those decades right alongside Celine, Whitney, Toni, and Mariah.
