Voice teacher talks about JENNIFER HUDSON's sweet tribute to WHITNEY HOUSTON @ AMA's 50TH SPECIAL

[@tylerhackner9731]

That power in her voice is undeniable

[@thediscerntarget6891]

She did what she came to do. Flawless analysis as always

[@ThisIsJ.Nicole]

Jennifer is the Queen of tributes. This put me in my feels. Same when she did Purple Rain. I sobbed.

[@LPage-mg2il]

She puts her heart and soul into honoring the legends. I am so here for it. There should be no need to wonder why she's called upon so often. Proven excellence. She delivers reliably.

[@deborahtillman9866]

ALWAYS ❤❤​@@LPage-mg2il

[@prplrayn4877]

The Prince tribute was IT for me. I don’t need ANYONE ELSE singing Purple Rain after JHUDs rendition. It was phenomenal and spiritual and the outfit was another nod when she performed it. 🎤 drop💜

[@leelee1414]

Man! I miss Whitney. My favorite singer of all time. RIP to her mother, Ms. Cissy Houston. ❤

[@luisgonzalezramirez5112]

The silence in the audience when she started, I will always love you, was perfect

[@jhudaccess]

This was such a gracious & exquisite performance 👏

[@AliaGillespie]

I love when you effortlessly hit the note then say “or whatever that was”. It was THAT!!!!

[@AliaGillespie]

❤❤😂

[@edisonthethird]

YES!

[@8aleeb]

We all know Jennifer's power, but sometimes forget her precision too. The control, the technique. Breathtaking

[@Rodneyjohnson42]

This is the best I’ve ever heard Jennifer sing, she’s been working on her vocal approach. Normally she’s all over the place and over singing. But here lately she’s really been on it!!!! I love it sing Jennifer

[@adri_makeup]

@@Rodneyjohnson42yess her voice has definitely gotten better and she’s learned more control over it as she’s matured. Her voice is just so big I’m sure it was difficult to fully control. And she come from a church background n they do have the tendency to “over sing” but it works for their music

[@Rodneyjohnson42]

[@newdimensionjt3452]

​@@Rodneyjohnson42normally?? where have you been for the past 10 years. Jennifer Hudson has always been on point with her tributes her tributes to Denzel washington, Stevie wonder, Al Green, Aretha Franklin have not been all over the place. They were great displays of control and vocal finesse

[@Rodneyjohnson42]

@@newdimensionjt3452 No they have not!!! I’ve been following her since idol!!! She was lacking control!! And everything she use to sing would sound the same. It was boring!! But now she has it!!!! The simply beautiful tribute to Al Green was top tier, just as this one right here. She has now in my opinion became a well rounded singer!! And found her voice.

[@tylerhackner9731]

Whitney is so missed! (As well as her mother Cissy) Jennifer did her justice!

[@payasmpendwa9316]

I love how Jaron mimics and sings like the artist it's why I love to watch his video analysis 12:34 Jaron's voice is amazing

[@moni23me]

Baby she sang her FACE OFF!!! So beautifully and elegantly done. The pipes and skill spoke for itself 🎉👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤ & loved your notes about taking the air you need and not overworking.

[@Nell_3]

I Love Jennifer. She did a beautiful job honoring Whitney. It’s not a competition but an homage to one our most precious treasures. Whitney’s version of I will always love you is different from Dolly Parton’s version and she’s the only me who wrote and sang it first. She knew it would sound different but it was still beautiful. Same with Luther he took other’s songs and made them his own., not taking anything from the original artists. I think Whitney would approve. Jennifer BRAVO 👏🏽 👏🏽Her voice is truly a gift.🥰👸🏽💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐

[@dianewilliams5736]

It was wonderful Period.

[@dianewilliams5736]

Let the people analyze if it sounds good to the listeners and the audience it needs Not be analyzed especially if it's selling critical of facial expression movements is a bit much everybody's not looking that close because we're listening

[@CandiceBCouriers]

Whitney would've been so proud of JHud. She did a fantastic job! Simply breathtaking... and she looked amazing, too.

[@Cyber_Diva]

Love Jennifer!!! Yes, she ate here.

[@maiconrogerio2189]

SHE IS AMAZINGGGGGGHH ON THE EDGEEEEE, I SUCH LOVE HER

[@sethwinfrey5668]

She did a phenomenal job. It just shows you that Whitney Houston was the rarest of rare voice talents. No one could sing it like Whitney. Great job J-Hud!

[@ME-bl3xg]

JEN IS JUST ITTTTTTTTTT!!!!!

[@jaaynixx416]

It’s a reason why Queen Aretha wanted her to play her in the movie 🔊 She did this tribute masterfully 👏🏽

[@LPage-mg2il]

The legends know. That's why they all want her to do their tributes. She's a singer's singer.

[@Dion_Mustard]

I agree to a point BUT when she sings Respect or Ain't No Way , she lacks that special quality and range when she attempts some of those songs. However there is no denying her voice is amazing.

[@TheHeat205Network]

Jennifer is entering to that strong voice middle aged era.. it's giving Whitney/Patti LaBelle 1991 vibes.

Thanks Jaron for your beautiful and detailed commentary in reference to Jennifer's performance. You have a lovely voice also. Comparing Whitney's voice to Jennifer's voice. Both ladies are gifted and talented musicians in their own right! I think Jennifer executed the tribute beautifully! Our Whitney and her Mom [Cissy] RIP!💞🙏

[@kaleonacapoy]

you are a BOSS in all your reviews !!! especially, the expertise and quality to mimic the great jennifer hudson to perfection

[@LPage-mg2il]

Jennifer Hudson, the WORLD CLASS vocalist that you are. This was the absolute best rendition of IWALY I have ever heard from someone other than The Voice herself. Deborah Cox is also right up there too with JHud when covering Whitney. Brava, Jenny! Brava!!!!

[@vaughanhouston3142]

Phenomenal tribute 👏🏽

[@steverangihuna4965]

[@milliyonsimmons4385]

Also Ledisi also does the lip puckering thing as well!! Especially when she’s hitting them crazy note

[@praizeyah]

I just came to point out that Jaron uses these analyses to play in our faces. He be SINGING!

[@charlenejohnson9653]

Awesome. Soul thru POP and operatic performance. Power & fluctuation of skills- one control, the individuality is unmidtaken

[@bigd7386]

I'll be honest, I'm not a fan of some of Jennifer's technique and execution at times, but she showed some restraint here and she did great. She definitely has the power to pull off those belts. The silence during the start of IWALY was moving. This was a moment and Jhud understood the assignment! I also hope that the original AMA Medley performance continues to gain traction in popularity. It is truly a once in a lifetime masterpiece and displays everything you need to know about Whitney as a singer and a PERFORMER!

[@vanessasmith5280]

Wow, his voice analysis is so good and professional.

[@kaustin1426]

She sounds amazing!

[@tangibs]

Jennifer is phenomenal! To tribute Nina Simone and her idol Whitney was outstanding 👏 Chi-town's own Queen. We love her to the core, and Common knows we don't play about JHUD. Southside 4Lyfe ❤

Jennifer Hudson has the voice of an angel! I wish she would sing more

[@inesspanni]

Beautiful!!!!❤❤❤❤

[@maninblack9271]

Whitney's dynamic is so smooth and her voice is powerful yet gentle at the same time. Jehud has power but it is so harsh. Thats how i see it.

[@staceydowns8682]

Oh yes, sorry, at the end when she pulled the mic away and it kept going? OMG!!!

[@hdhenderson5785]

Amen… Nuff Said….her presence kept moving with no mic. ❤

[@KolaAlade-li5db]

She kept it at her level of comfort. Can’t try to chase Whitney octaves.

[@hamoOT]

Watching this & crying thinking of my grandma!!!!

[@PotentPotable5]

I think this might have been better than the version she did, in front of Whitney Houston herself, at the 2010 BET Honors. Whitney was up in front of the stage cheering her and Kim Burrell on😅

[@MichaelDavis-t5m]

Thank so much vocal teacher for analyzing the stars! I really enjoyed you showing us about the ups and downs and changes and speed and color flow in the voices. You did a fantastic amazing job analyzing Jennifer Hudson voice on the tribute of Whitney Houston! Jennifer did a beautiful sting job at singing and performing Whitney Houston tribute. Vocal analyst thank you for coming on. You have a beautiful voice as well. I can tell how you demonstrate the breathing and singing voice! Congratulations much love and peace❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️💯🙏🏾

[@iago07]

This was Jennifer’s GREATEST LIVE PERFORMANCE, hands down. She has matured so much. Really resisted over-singing and it really payed off. She built this performance to that big climax at the end… Wow!

[@QueenDiva]

I was wondering if you were going to review her performance!!! I really wanted her to sing "I Loves You, Porgy" longer!! LOL! But it was a great tribute! I love that she put her own inflections!! She would not be JHud if she did not!! I enjoyed this performance!!

[@DaveTonymusic]

Soo Jennifer can sanggggggg no doubt but the dynamics are pristine. I often don’t hear this from her usually just full power!! But the juxtaposition between the sweet and power make this performance top tier!!! sing ma’am!! And great analysis!! #proudjaritone

[@staceydowns8682]

Okay, opening yes, agreed. Yes, the vowel change, excellent. I felt like Lena Horne stepped in for a second. Yes, the dome, she did that indeed. By the way, I love YOUR voice. Yes, the jazz layer. Watching you listen is like watching Stevie Wonder. Lounge for sure. Killing it it! Now, here we go! Can you imagine the breath control for this, OMG! Now the tears start. Yes, the should stay. The silence was crazy! The band looked like they were in prayer. Perfect pitch comin in! That's right, take your time. Has to breathe like a bottle of wine. Of course she added herself as we all say, make it your own. BOOM! Here she goes!!! She needed a minute. HAHAHAHAHA! YES!!! True that, she didn't take much breath at ALL. Right, don't over work. Same thing in Dance, we don't breathe that much or obvious. I love your feedback. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Blessings.

I remember when I heard heard the song from " Dreamgirls!" On the radio while driving. I was making a turn and almost forgot how to drive. Rhis woman is a national treasure.

[@chocolatecaramel4447]

JHud is one of a kind. She is one of our treasures. Wonderful tribute to Whitney. That song that she is singing was a George Gerswhin piece for Nina Simone.

[@KV-mz8ro]

Beautiful tribute!

[@catherinetolbert3207]

Hands down Jennifer can sing sing. I’m glad there was no screaming but beautiful wonderful runs. I can’t sing a tap but I hate all that screaming Mz she did wonderfully well

[@glee7073]

I love how Jennifer Hudson improvised her way of singing this song, Because she sang this to tribute Whitney, and it wasn't bad but this time it's more alike to Whitney Houston

[@MSNETTE-te8xn]

If you were my friend you would get sick of me I would have you singing everything 💗

[@UdontKnow8]

It’s beautiful to have Wayne Linsey and Ricky Minor,playing in this Tribute be it that, they both played for and with Whitney during her career, playing these exact songs in the height of Whitney’s Stardom! I enjoy JHud and I know she loves Whitney, and Whitney loved her, I just think her voice can be a bit overwhelming because there’s such a depth to it, and such a height that its,sometimes TOO Flashy and Gawdy at times. She’s got the GOSPEL for it, but she needs a little more TINGE of OPERA,mixed with Grit & RnB, to get that Whitney sound and blend! But to encapsulate and tribute Whitney, with what we have left, with Talent and Artistry, close to Whitney, it would have to be Debra Cox or J! JHud,made this her own, but could have studied,embodied, and incorporated more of Whitney’s tone,syncopation,mannerisms,used more of her vocal agility and other vocal options in IWALY, because J HAS it in her. All in All,This really was a Touching performance though, can’t deny that! The Arrangement is top tier!!!! Whitney would have definitely been proud!

[@karenallen-reid3969]

I enjoy ypu Sir. How do you care for your vocals, Sir?

[@luckysox8091]

Love it

[@michael-zu7lr]

Her voice is harsh. Whitney's was sweet.

[@quidddaboss1061]

Jhud voice to strong for porgy she did really good tho but theres a reason why Whitney is the voice that performance cant be duplicated

[@Dion_Mustard]

There is no doubt JHud has a strong beautiful gospel voice but she lacks the range that Whitney and Aretha had. Still, her voice is glorious.

[@TheKittsPajamas]

Good god she had me booHOOING! 😩😩😭😭😭

[@brevenconrad]

Pleaseeeee please react to this performance! -Candice Glover, Jessica Sanchez, DeAndre Brackensick (Las Vegas)

Can you not EATTTT like that on PORGY mister Jaron...& then go right back into speaking voice!!! ugh ugh tooo good sir! haha!

[@princessjoy007]

Song request: hey Jaren can you do SLEEPTOKEN’s “sleeptalk” and “the summoning”? It’s in the vein of metalcore but it’s post metal. Their Sirius live audio performance was even better than their recorded songs. It’s different but they are in my top 3 bands besides Linkin Park and Paramore.

[@gbarasamuel7815]

I think the word you were looking for throughout this analysis is - demure

[@stevenclemons1]

Love this performance. But we don't need her doing this song again. I'd love to hear leona lewis do it present day. Jennifer needs to be singing her own music. She's too much of a young legend to be just a tribute singer.

[@heywetsi4209]

She's too much of a young legend to be a tribute singer. You ate that bro. She's really that girl !!! She needs to get out of her mind and give people a BALLAT ALBUM!!!!!!!
