[@BonafideGail]

My God what a voice and what a woman!

[@whaitwhatwhyamihere504]

She was born to do this! Stage is absolutely where she belongs to be on. Her attitude on stage, the vocal, the delivery, ugh 🙌🙌🙌🙌..

[@mcebisibiyela3973]

She's in a league of her own. No complains everything's impeccable 🔥🔥🔥🔥😩😭👌

[@tichaonajeck9003]

One of the greatest voice in the World

[@joannehamilton1341]

Jennifer, your voice is so beautiful. I love how your gospel routes come out in the many songs you sing. May God continually bless you!

[@robertmstewartjr]

My goodness, what a legend. What a gift. What a human being.

[@Zenith-vs2ms]

the end part shows how really you connected to God.. and it shows the power on her voice that she embraces for the rest of her life.. the message.. wow..

[@john-jacqueshasenberg5988]

I knew at the beginning that God was speaking through Jennifer. One can see that this song has a personal reference to her life. God bless her voice ♥️

[@jayhan7443]

She is the suprême vocalist!!! Sha can captivate the audience in her live tributes like Whitney could!! I hope that the upcuming Aretha movie will give her recognition as a singer/actress from all countries and generations like the bodyguard did for Whitney. I am a big fan since her idol audition.

[@jessicabuntz8668]

4 WORDS STUNNING, AMAZING, SUPERB, SPEECHLESS, HANDS UP AND DOWN. NOTHING ELSE CAN BE SAID, PERIOD.

[@charlottemcmichael6006]

I could never hear this song sang in a simple way ever again AMAZING

[@LinusLarrabee]

This is Jennifer Hudson. The mic 🎤 doesn’t have to be that high. She’s REAL singer ❤️

[@eileenhaughton3558]

What's real about that, K.D. Lang would put her to shame.

[@susannamuga3863]

One of the best versions I have heard 👏👏👏just amazing, that voice, the expression. She cut it short but I feel like I just heard a complete song.😍😍

[@mutintamwiya4881]

[@youtube_like6773]

HERMOSO❤

[@antiguaandbarbudavlog377]

They didn't give her enough time so she had to cut up the song and made it short. Y'all stop hating.

[@biatsoho1332]

ANTIGUA and BARBUDA VLOG and a lot of us couldn’t sing to save our lives. I thought it was stellar. She stood there and commanded everything.

[@MrWana2009]

I'm happy i was born in Hudson's era 🖤

[@leonmusic3784]

I LOVE JENNIFER

[@yokhevedyokh327]

What a beautiful version of gospel waouh oh God help us

[@Flyingchicken-ye9mr]

No understanding how she can't win American Idol earlier in the years. She is the real deal together with Lady Gaga for this generation #blacklivematters

[@lulubelle2009]

Wow 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@programaivann]

Ella no necesita micrófono, el micrófono la necesita a ella 💅🏿

[@antonelamorales1603]

Bella voz m encanto♥️👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@thatomalebo5338]

My my my my my!

[@lalles]

I've heard there was a secret chord That David played and it pleased the lord But you don't really care for music, do you? It goes like this: The fourth, the fifth The minor fall, the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Your faith was strong, but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you She tied you to a kitchen chair And she broke your throne and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Now, maybe there's a God above As for me, all I ever learned from love Is how to shoot at someone who outdrew you But it's not a crime that you're here tonight It's not some pilgrim who claims to have seen the light, no It's a cold and it's a very broken Hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Oh, people, I've been here before I know this room and I've walked this floor You see, I used to live alone before I knew you And I've seen your flag on the Marble Arch But listen love, love is not some kind of victory march, no It's a cold and it's a very lonely Hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah There was a time you let me know What's really going on below But now, now you never even show it to me, do you? I remember when I moved in you And the holy dove, she was moving too And every single breath that we drew was Hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah I've done my best, I know it wasn't much I couldn't feel, so I learned to touch I've told the truth, I didn't come here to fool you And even though it all went wrong I'll stand right here, before the Lord of Song With nothing, nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah

[@claudiamadalenapereirafran4114]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@eroseerose1874]

Jennifer make up was on point 👍👍👍👍👍❤

[@Krazylegzz]

I dare John Legend not to give her the mic and sing Hallelujah for the world to fell

[@krober147]

Her outfit is 👀👀👏👏💥💥FiRe

[@musicalTACover]

Mic not required!!

[@noworldforeric]

One of those that could literally sing the phone book.

[@serbaserbirisma2180]

Microfon di indonesia dia di Amerika masih kedengeran nyanyiny❤❤❤

[@tytheplantguy]

Like 4 Applauses in one show. That tells you something.❤🙏🏾

[@leeelliott7365]

my muse!!

[@masegomothei7082]

She's the real deal

[@wj8678]

Just throw the whole mic away...she doesn't need it!

She doesn't need any auto tune

[@quanganhle6148]

Microphone? Never heard of her!!!

One way to spoil it

[@ongphongnguyen9250]

MC - who are you?

Caralhoooooo

[@bodega1515]

Sometimes less is more.

[@pourladentelle]

It was perfect!!! Stoppp!!!

[@catbell193]

The back up vocals are so bad , where is her church crew!!

[@FDKDaima]

When you are a backup singer in Jennifer Hudson's performance, you will always be bad!

[@richtrost2676]

One of my favorite songs, beautiful and haunting of an affair that burned hot and faded under the weight of reality. Not a fan of this version but hang in there. Eventually you'll stumble on the right notes.

[@tevitatopai6454]

Rich Trost ruined the song

[@matthewdolman]

I mean she can obviously sing, but what a terrible arrangement.

[@TheJeweledBird]

Yeah, I kinda agree. I love Ms. Hudson, love her voice, and really love Hallelujah, but this arrangement didn't work for me. It produced none of the hair-raising-the-of-the-neck emotional response that the song usually produces.

[@m1kesnts]

@@TheJeweledBird I'm sorry but if you can't find that emotional maybe it's because you're already dead inside.

[@TheJeweledBird]

@@m1kesnts I prefer Leonard Cohen's version, especially the one he does during his London concert. No matter how many times I watch/listen, it always evokes a tremendous emotional response. It's not a matter of being "dead inside," but what speaks to the heart--and Ms. Hudson's rendition doesn't speak to mine.

[@andarion1109]

that woman needs no microphone!

[@Carloupe_OG]

Chicken fierd

[@nipartist]

brividi...

[@suebourne1842]

Blah!!

[@tevitatopai6454]

Ruined the song incredible singer but hands down you ruined this song 😴

[@robinvolpi]

You're welcome to your own opinion, just nOt your own facts.

[@tevitatopai6454]

robin volpi wtf was that rubbish it’s just an opinion simple don’t complicate things move along

[@robinvolpi]

@@tevitatopai6454 You stated an opinion and I replied - over a social media venue. What's complicated about that? This is how the platform works. Might I suggest you not engage if this is too complicated a concept.

[@tevitatopai6454]

“Your welcome to your own opinion, just not your own facts” that’s about the dumbest thing I’ve read. Should’ve left it at that’s your opinion lol 🤦🏽‍♂️ is it is my opinion wth is your own facts 🤦🏽‍♂️ I suggest you stay off social media

[@robinvolpi]

@@tevitatopai6454 Your developmental challenges are obviously a hindrance.

[@kricketflyd111]

flat,, no depth.

[@starcrib]

.something is evil about her.

[@legacyoffreedomain1170]

Marius M It’s a Jew thing you wouldn’t believe it if you were not born again holly Jew Jah.

[@hi-pw6nr]

If you want to say something about the QUEEN i suggest you keep it to yourself😡

[@BoydGilbreath]

Emblematic of most things I hate about so-called entertainment today. Very childish and talent free.
