She was absolutely the perfect person to sing this.

[@Moicesy]

It was terrible in my opinion, she’s always over singing and ruining cover songs

[@user-hs4zj8eo3u]

It was perfect. Amazing song.

[@oliviawouter8541]

This was heart touching Jennifer. You really did a great and awesome job. R.I.P Michael 🙏🏾❤🕊️

[@newman8180]

I'm gonna have to disagree with you here. I love this song , but I think Jennifer struggled with it. I personally like the version sung by Daryl Coley and Patti LaBelle.

[@Shanthan33]

And then some ❤.....

[@icetlorenzo9377]

​@@newman8180 I agree with you. She scream too much

[@shquaylmelton6769]

Baby ! Jennifer Hudson had CHURCHHH that day ! Okayy ! 🤞🏽🕊️

[@geraldogallagher4503]

[@MichaelLogan-sh6re]

She didn't sing at Whitney funneral

[@rosasebeela2902]

She sang for her not at her funeral

Aretha must have thought so, too. She chose her for her biopic.

[@Jj-ty7qh]

Her voice gets me all the time. Simply beautiful

[@marettaroberson515]

Jennifer Hudson that was a Wonderful Tribute to Michael the King of Pop Welldone !!😢🎉❤

[@Mi_vida_diaria01]

Who listens to it every day to have a moment of peace, the net, be if He was an artist, more than an artist, 2024 👍 here we are

[@veronicasmith5657]

I recently found this and yes I listen to it everyday now 💗🎶🙏

[@Queenalika85]

Beautiful voice and tribute to the King.... Rip Michael Jackson

[@daniellemitchell3118]

I remember watching this. She was pregnant with her son, David Jr., when she performed this. #RIPMichaelJackson

[@daniellemusella1594]

@daniellemitchell3118 I remember thinking what a toll everything must have been taking on her. She had the physical and emotional strains of pregnancy, combined with having to perform at a funeral, AND the man's coffin is less than two feet away. I was in awe of how she kept it together. (5/17/2024)

[@ogunyemid]

Her son was mostly likely a sacrifice just like the others in her family that died

[@simeonhaiwabijida1094]

​@@ogunyemidwtf you talking about???

[@ogunyemid]

@@simeonhaiwabijida1094 May be a little insensitive of me but she lost a lot of her family not sure if you heard about the shootings that happened to her family, a few years back?? I personally thought they could have been a ritual sacrifice, a lot of stars in Hollywood have family die and shortly after (sometimes before) they become mega stars I've seen the pattern

[@sexychocolate10049]

​@ogunyemid well that wasn't the case for her

[@MrYellowchild]

"LIFT ME UP HIGHER LORD" YESSS 🗣👏🏼🔥

[@zenforhorses]

This much later I found this song.... Jennifer Hudson no one can touch you ✝️🙏💜

[@MaryRodgers-v4d]

Jennifer Hudson is remarkably. Her voice is hypnotizing. ❤❤

[@sunreigntv]

I still find it hard to believe Michael Jackson is dead 😢😢😢

[@sexychocolate10049]

Don't we all

[@PeaceApril29]

Michael Jackson RIP 🪦 gone too soon. Thank you Miss Jennifer Hudson beautifully done. We love ❤️ you both. Michael you can rest now in peace. 🕊️

[@RonnieKeys-th1me]

Rest in peace Michael Jackson

[@elisageorge2261]

People all over the world came if only to stand outside his funeral..I don't believe ever in history a turn out like this for a president.

[@LadyMul]

Not many presidents can sing & dance performing to the world from age 5 to 50 but maybe Mandela funeral came close

[@Daisygirl72]

What an awesome performance of this song ! Jennifer Hudson has a very strong and powerful singing voice and she did an awesome job on this song! What a tribute to Michael he would have been so proud! 💜🎵

[@MJJ628]

Beautiful tribute ....WE SHALL NEVER NEVER FORGET YOU OUR KING of POP KING OF MUSIC......THIS IS MICHEAL JACKSON 🤴🏻🎤🥁🥁🥁📯📯💋❤❤💘❤💘❤💘❤💘❤❤xxx

[@oralrobers9727]

Michael kills this song❤❤❤

[@calinroibu9422]

The truth is that this world never deserved MJ...he has been...so bad treated.. In my heart i really believe that Michael was GOD voice on earth

[@alicetheegreet]

Yes Micheal, I'm still here; and I'll hold my memories of you in my heart forever.

[@franciscoaraujo8295]

@cjueyjustice2213 hades, of course, true, No one ever who lived on this earth has tasted heaven yet except the firstborn who resurrected, who is Jesus. All dead people are sleeping waiting for the judgement then heaven or hell afterwards.
