[@jenn9696]

Doesn't matter how long ago this was taped, her in March 2024...JHud Continues to be magnificently great!

[@pinkrebel8412]

Man I wish she could write like Adele. The industry cant right for that voice. It has to be her soul to the heavens crying out

[@3632grenada]

"I feel so unprepared." performs a Grammy worthy performance.

“That’s high” Proceeds to sing the end note in the higher octave.

[@brianarbeloa3976]

It’s when she says “that’s high” and then just carries on with it !! A queen !!!!

[@ConnorC97]

The pianist lowered the key after she said that but nonetheless, she’s so talented

[@nicklubrino2606]

I’m really impressed with professional musicians. They can lower the key and follow the singer. Of course, if he can’t do that, he would be out of a job.

[@rafa456o]

@@ConnorC97 No, it's in the the same key

[@mattheturk8158]

The pianist lowered the key by down to three lines tho. I mean that was too high especially for a performance that hasn’t been practiced before. She still pointed out to him like you bastard don’t mess with me because the song is slow to climax it’s getting like b b ba ba bah BAH BAAAAH! Like you just have to consider that BAAAH moment. Lol. She nailed it regardless.

[@rafa456o]

@@mattheturk8158 It's in Bb since the start

[@letitiatsunami3749]

The reason she walked onto the stage at the end of the song is because that last note deserved to be on a stage. 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@TheNOchick]

Facts

[@bossteamentertainment6836]

She has such a big powerful voice she needed to step away so it wouldn't overwhelm the people sitting close to her. And you see how much reach and power it had at that distance. I think her voice can be heard on Pluto it is massive! Made me cry & cheer too❤

[@KyleKleef]

“That’s high”… like this isn’t THE perfect key for her. Just mesmerizing.

[@dduchess7238]

The key she said that it was higher than the one she sang it in

[@kingmarcthegreat8505]

She lied so smooth...talm bout “That’s high”🤣 love it

[@ClintonGorham]

Right LOL 😂

[@harrycook8730]

If she did say that’s High she was probably comparing the recorded version she did, this was a whole octave higher

[@youthisreadwrong2274]

it only shows how skilled her belts are like... omg I would sound like a car

[@geraldsonofgod]

I agree, however, if you check the her cover of this song, she recorded that song in a lower tone; and in this occasion, the music director set the tone to be higher, that’s why she said: “That’s high”... Problem here? THIS LADY DOESN’T KNOW LIMITS WHEN IT COMES TO HER VOICE, lol!

[@xmarkst7329]

I'm pretty sure she said "that's hot" talking about the melody the boy played from the piano.

[@emillion4470]

One of the most overplayed songs of the last century. JHud breathes new life into "Impossible Dream".

[@riotvvlogs]

This is what unprepared looks like to a Jeniffer Hudson! It blew the roof for such an amazing performance.

[@SymphonyBrahms]

She is considered one of the three greatest American Idol contestants. She should have won. But then she showed them all by becoming a big star afterwards.

[@SymphonyBrahms]

She is also an EGOT winner, having won the Emmy, the Grammy, the Oscar, and the Tony.

[@edwardbaker4824]

ITS ALWAYS RIGGED!!!!

[@APRIMEProspect]

I don't know if she would've won. She didn't have the confidence she has now ( not saying she didn't have any). That season was stacked with talent but she should have gone further than they allowed. And remember this is the same year that Fantasia won, and I don't think she would have beaten her.

[@mindfulness123]

@@APRIMEProspect I agree. 7th place was crazy. But the Jennifer Hudson on American Idol is not the same performer she became after the show.

[@fezzik7619]

The term is “24/7” not 24/24-7/7. It means 24 hrs a day 7 days a week. It’s an obvious hyperbole to imply that anyone could do anything for the entire 168 hrs of a week though.

[@obiakuakwiwu-nwadike1867]

I have watched this over 200 times. My heart just melts. Jennifer Hudson's voice and courage is a reflection of Gods miraculous creation. Her voice and her use of it is out of this world. Its truly an unreachable star. Who else can reach the star qualities of her voice?

[@christopherstock5280]

I’ve watched this about 20 times. This is someone who knows how to sing and understands her own voice. Her musicality shines here and you can tell how much she genuinely loves this song. Her incredible range has and sound has come so far from the original American Idol audition - truly an Impossible Dream.

[@cherylmassaro2063]

Me too! She nails it on this version!
