@lisa G yeah she do. but in the black church underground we know sista sangas that can make ha look like a white woman tryna sing gospel.she good, but there are even those who are even better and make you cry... and hipsters would not get it.
the actress that was in all in the family, general hospital and the fresh prince of bel air was she in live in front of a general audience all in the family and the jeffersons?
That's exactly what my sister said! She said, "I can't imagine anyone singing the song than her.". She took it to church with power & sass as always. Go J-Hud productions!
Jennifer did an EXCELLENT JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!! and I love how the melody bounces off her lips in staccato punches with crisp annunciations on the end of each word.
As a little white boy who grew up with this show, Good Times, Diff’rent Strokes, 227 & others this brought a flood of great memories. Great sets & costumes, they even got the ashtray next to the elevator! Jennifer rocked that afro!!!!
Kids today got no patience to even watch a 25 minute sitcom, or god forbid you could tear them away from TikTok long enough to sit thru a 45 second theme song. Their loss.
Found this unexpectedly, and I was blown away! From the energy, to the back up singers, to the spot on recreation of the set, this was amazing - and her singing was - as you might expect - pitch perfect. Incredible performance all the way around!

The best part is her face at the end. Whenever she sings a song well, her face shows it. (She sang impossible dream on the voice and her face was great too.)
Jennifer is definitely living her best life at this moment. I could not think of a better voice to sing The Jefferson's theme. I can already hear her singing the Good Times theme. She has definitely mastered her craft as a vocalist. I love you JHud.
I loved Jennifer! But since they brought back Marl Gibbs (Florence), it would have been nice to bring back Ja'net Du Bois (Wilona of Good Times), to sing it since she is the one singing the original theme song from back in the day.
@@ANGELSLVME We didn't get to stay very long after they wrapped up. Jimmy Kimmel and Jamie Foxx were the only ones who really interact with the audience, it was so much fun When he forget his line, the entire studio laughed too! I got the tickets looking for Jimmy Kimmel show tickets since i live near where its recorded. 1iota.com they have a lot of events with free tickets
the actress that was in all in the family, general hospital and the fresh prince of bel air was she in live in front of a general audience all in the family?
OH MY GOODNESS!! If I didn't already love Jennifer Hudson, I do now! One of my favorite theme songs from my childhood. Ja'Net DuBois would be proud. You did it justice. Next time...Good Times theme song!
That's because they're not used to hearing real singing...without all of the wind machines, synthesizers, etc. She can sing barefoot , with no music and it still sounds amazing!
That’s because she’s “GOSPELY TRAINED”. You have to give a hallelujah in there some kinda way. The LORD loves it when we let loose and praise him 🙏🏽👸🏽😇 🙌🏾👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏾
John Edwards Kelly Clarkson, NO! Lol. Not with the same passion. Kelly is great but, these two songs are not for her. It’s not just because she’s white. Hell, I would let Tina Marie have a swing at it, if she were a live, before I let Kelly Clarkson. Lol
John Edwards Goddamit, I just said it’s not because she’s white lol. Kelly Clarkson is pretty damn talented. I haven’t listened to her in years, though. Didn’t you see, I mentioned Tina Marie? Don’t you know who that is? Come on, now. .
@John Edwards Kelly Clarkson is a great singer but she lacks the depth of soul that's needed for this theme song. It would NOT sound genuine and authentic or soulful enough for me 🤔
Same songs 🎵 the 1970s every time I watch in 1980 s the jefferson TV show I grew up that show now I am 44 years old still young andI love this song 🎵 ❤ Jennifer Hudson is great 👍
@@barbiefunkyfaceb For the record, I 💖 Jenifer Hudson, Fantasia & sum others. @ the same time Folk who were in the original singers, actors, etc. PAVED THE WAY 4 TODAY'S TALENTED FOLKS WHO ARE IN THE "NOW"!!!! BE BLESSED!!!!
@@cherokeeblackpanther9399 I agree that Jennifer is AWESOME!!! That wasn't the issue that was brought 2 me. I'll say again, the actors, singers, & etc. That have come b4 Jennifer, Fanrasia, Jazmine Sullivan, Beyoncé, paid a lot of dues, dealt w/ racism, they had limited control of their careers cos of racism. Marla Gibbs got a standing ovation last week, not just because of legendary status from The Jeffersons, but she owned a theatre in Chicago, She had completely had ownership of her show 227,meaning everytime a episode is shown SHE GETS PAID!!! B4 the 90's not many Blacks had that power. SIMPLE & PLAIN!!!
Brenda Fizer My Comment Was In General, And Not Addressed To You.. My Comment Stood ALONE,. That Janet Did It Waaay Better.. I AGREED And Propped Your ORIGINAL Comment, Thus The Reason I Commented Here.. Idunno What You Meant With Plain And Simple.. But I Wasn’t Bringing Up What Was Plain And Single To You🤷🏾♀️I Merely Said JANET D Was The Original, And There Was NO COMPARISON I Said What I Said, And I MEANT THAT.. But No Shade At Jhud, She Did Good, But Not As GREAT AS JANET.. It’s Rare Another Singer Can IMPROVE On A CLASSIC ORIGINAL.. And Jhuds Rendition Did NOT.. Although Very Enjoyable.. Good Night🙏🏽😇 Of Course JD And Her Good Company Of Others Paved The Way, And To Me They STILL ARE.. And Always Will.. IMO
This song was always life! It was a feel good- happy kind of song. Motivational...don't you lose your focus kind of song! Rest easy Queen. Thanks for giving us one of the most memorable theme songs ever!!!! Thanks Jennifer for doing it justice!
Wow! Great performance. I kind of miss seeing Weezy and George through the car window as the song goes on, but this live rendition was excellent. They sounded so much like the original: all that energy and happiness rang true
Did not see it live this past week (May 2019.)However based on the online comments and reviews and watching the highlights online, this was without a doubt, the highlight of this Kimmel/Lear led Bunker/Jefferson Special.
That is still my favorite! After watching both "Live in front of a studio audience." I really hope they continue to do more of these, just totally awesome!
I think she said “ Frish don’t fry in the kitchen “, but it was still awesome ! Seeing that apartment again in high definition color , man , it was a beautiful apartment!
I loved it better when Wilona sung it. After all; Ja’Net DuBois wrote and sang the theme. That said, I love Jennifer Hudson. I wish her all the success in the world!
Love it!!!! Jennifer Hudson. She was the right person to sing the theme song of the " Jeffersons" Love!! how she church tipping and the elevator part. So funny!!!
Girl, I smelled the Afro Sheen and Coco butter through the SCREEN! You did that!
Indiegirl007
No you didn't! Cocoa Butter! 😂
I'm mad at you🤣🤣🤣 ..that's what I was thinking ..but you said it
🤣🤣🤣😭
One of my best friends has moved in, and there is cocoa butter everywhere! (Bathroom, near the recliner, etc)
Apparently "ashy elbows" is a thing...
Naw is dat SOULGLOW
Girl should quit playing and drop a Gospel Album already because wow🔥🔥😭❤
AMEN
You took the words right out of my mouth. She has that "turning over pews" voice. My Lord !
She cheated on her fiancé with a singer called Mali music...maybe she should try to mess with God's music
Yesssss...
@lisa G yeah she do. but in the black church underground we know sista sangas that can make ha look like a white woman tryna sing gospel.she good, but there are even those who are even better and make you cry... and hipsters would not get it.
She has one of those "old school" voices....phenomenal!!
Gospel, bro.
That's why she was in Dreamgirls.
Powerful and anointed.
Tee Art yes this why she's not as popular as Beyonce it works against her sad tho today all ppl know is slutty cardi n silicone Sally nikki
Indeed,Indeed
That final look she gives just before she strides triumphantly into the elevator is Chilling!!!!!!! love it!!
She did the child please look at the end
the actress that was in all in the family, general hospital and the fresh prince of bel air was she in live in front of a general audience all in the family and the jeffersons?
She killed it! They could have not picked a more perfect person to sing the Jefferson's theme song that Jennifer Hudson. She did it justice.
Imagine if Ja'Net Dubois, who originally did the theme song, was there and they did it as an duet
@@joshuamcdowell5782 That would be amazing.
She made us move on up.
That's exactly what my sister said! She said, "I can't imagine anyone singing the song than her.". She took it to church with power & sass as always. Go J-Hud productions!
I think Fantasia is the only other singer who could have done the song justice.
Few voices make me break out into a soul clap. Jennifer ALWAYS does it. A vocal gold medalist if we had a singing Olympics
Fr though the riffs and stuff… that takes TALENT. People don’t realize that’s not easy
You'd throw a shoe if you could! :)
That girl can sing anything and make it sound good even ABCs
Where is the lie?
@@derrickcrawford6235 What do you mean? You drunk aren't you?
Hell yeah!
M. McKesson he was agreeing with op’s comment saying that he’s 100% telling the truth
pm laster not ABCs 😂😂😂 but you right though❗️ sheS AMAZING
Jennifer did an EXCELLENT JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!! and I love how the melody bounces off her lips in staccato punches with crisp annunciations on the end of each word.
She did but she did not sing the right lyrics XD. Not sure she even knows that to this day.
She killed that I felt proud that we are being represented in positive light.....
@Stella H 😂😂😂😂😂
Shut up
Still can't get enough of this version!!!
Yeah even though it is notthe one for the show! Haha, she is way off.
I wish there were a studio version. She killed it!!!
The church tipping she did from the kitchen to hallway elevator was everything!!!!!!!!
👍
Hallelujah! I'm moving on up. Lol!
RUclipsr GATURKS says: I HAD TO WATCH JUST THOSE PARTS A FEW TIMES LOLOL!
pm laster omg!, that’s what it’s called?, I said the lil shimmy dance !, either way!, it was awesome
pm laster am to that
Jennifer I watch this over 50 times who else did Great job
As a little white boy who grew up with this show, Good Times, Diff’rent Strokes, 227 & others this brought a flood of great memories. Great sets & costumes, they even got the ashtray next to the elevator! Jennifer rocked that afro!!!!
NO auto tune required! She is truly talented ♥️
Because she was miming
She grew up singing old school gospel in church. And it shows! Even the backup singers were powerful.
@@frankmcnally01Uhm no! She sings this powerful live everytime. See her inpropmtu perfomances on the Voice with Sir Tom Jones. You putz!
@@brooklyndecember Absolutely agreed!
Bring tv themes back!!!!!! This is why it works !!!!so glad I grew up in that time!!!!!!
True! They sold that out to put an extra commercial but TV theme songs are so much better than title cards.
@@chukwudiilozue9171 yeah i hate title cards
A good Theme Song stays with you throughout your life...I glad that was MY TIME TOO!!

And now a daytime talk show.
Damn Jennifer Hudson litterally can sing Anything...Good Times now...😁👍👍👍👍Awesome Singer
Yesss goodtimes please!!
I love that old set!
I love how George Huff is still her background singer all these years after their American Idol season.
Oh wow, that was him?! Too cool!
That's cool!
George Huffington and Jennifer with Latoya and Fantasia in an updated sitcom. Some theme song. :)
Oh wow I really liked George, I remember him😍
Jhud always looks out.
She did that, that young lady can sang!!!! Ja'net Dubois known as Willona Woods on Good Times did the original version good too!
Ja’net Dubois and Jeff Barry wrote Moving on Up.
@@lasuvidaboy YES!!!!
The best part is her face at the end. Whenever she sings a song well, her face shows it. (She sang impossible dream on the voice and her face was great too.)

lasuvidaboy Yes. And you can even hear Barry singing in the background with her in the background on the original
YAAAAS MS. HUDSON!!!!! Pass the collection plate hunni because she's taken us to church! 🙌🙌🙌🙌
She killed it. I love that show. My favorite was Mother Jefferson, George’s mom. She was mean to Louise but she was so funny.
Her and her ever present Bloody Mary lol.
Love her strong voice !!
I love the Afro! She should wear it more often it suits HER.
lol afros suit every black person
And its a wig
@@OrbitFighter true!
Well go watch her on American idol she Always had an afro
She bettah GET CHRISTIE LOVE baby!
Jennifer is definitely living her best life at this moment. I could not think of a better voice to sing The Jefferson's theme. I can already hear her singing the Good Times theme. She has definitely mastered her craft as a vocalist. I love you JHud.
I concur!
I Can think of a better voice “Ja’net Dubois”
How do you know?
She sounded just as good as the original singer, the actress that played Wilona on Good Times. Wilona also sang the theme to Good Times as well.
And the Amen theme
LOVE every note, shimmy, & sass of this performance! Reminds me of another great actress singer; Jennifer Lewis
She did that!
Yes she did
I loved Jennifer! But since they brought back Marl Gibbs (Florence), it would have been nice to bring back Ja'net Du Bois (Wilona of Good Times), to sing it since she is the one singing the original theme song from back in the day.
@@yolandalove84 it's Marla not Marl
Hell yeah! She did the damn thing.
Ja'Net DuBois, will always be The ONE...however, Jennifer Hudson slayed!

I was there in the audience it was AMAZING!!
That's fantastic

I love that quick nod at the end, it was so cute. What an amazing performance!
J-Hud is going to kill it in that Aretha biopic. She did so well here!
@Esl Professional you way to dark to play that role. U nazi
@Esl Professional Your grim/darkness is incomparable and unmatchable...anywhere...get away from here you bigoted asshole...
Know she did Dreamgirls but she could probably even play the inspiration for Effie, Mary Birdsong
Esl Professional wtf ??
@@tomgallowitz do u even understand her comment??
SHE AND THE BACKGROUND SINGERS DID THAT. LOVE THAT SONG. ❤ #MOVINONUP
If you are going to sing THIS SONG. You better slay it. She slayed it.
comicbookkid210 that she did 👍🏻
She stole the show with this
I don't think so. Listen to the original. Not even close.
@@davidwatson3456 I agree. To me she over sang it. It lacks feeling
@@J.Evans_Official Original tough to beat
Jennifer Hudson moved spectacularly on up!!
I CANNOT overstate how much I LOVE this!!!!!
OH MY GOODNESS!! If I didn't already love Jennifer Hudson, I do now! One of my favorite theme songs from my childhood. Ja'Net DuBois would be proud. You did it justice. Next time...Good Times theme song!
Nailed it.
I also LOL at the shuffle/tip-toe combination she did because of those shoes.
😭😅 You and me both. ;) So good!
Jennifer Houston is “ Blessed With a Voice From Above ❤️
I love J-Hud. She's so talented. I hate when people say she "Screams" lol
That's because they're not used to hearing real singing...without all of the wind machines, synthesizers, etc. She can sing barefoot , with no music and it still sounds amazing!
I really hate that when they say that she scrams but this is a way to sing and it's amazing! I love JHuD!
Correction: She hollers
I'm a fan too
That’s because she’s “GOSPELY TRAINED”. You have to give a hallelujah in there some kinda way. The LORD loves it when we let loose and praise him 🙏🏽👸🏽😇
🙌🏾👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏾
This gave me chills. Jennifer tore this song up. RIP Ja'Net Dubois. 🖤
It would have been wonderful to hear Ja’net Dubois reprise her role for this song.
I was clapping the entire time!! Yesss Jennifer!! Bravo! 👏
Tam Clark I'm.old school so I love it
Me too. I went to church wit Jennifer.
Jennifer totally nailed this song...
Awesome.
J-Hud and Fantasia are the ppl alive who could have done the Jefferson's theme song any justice.
Oh my goodness, Fantasia would have done an awesome. Job too
John Edwards
Kelly Clarkson, NO! Lol. Not with the same passion. Kelly is great but, these two songs are not for her. It’s not just because she’s white. Hell, I would let Tina Marie have a swing at it, if she were a live, before I let Kelly Clarkson. Lol

.
I prefer Tasia, I feel J is your average black church singer. My opinion, don't come at me for my opinion.
@John Edwards Kelly Clarkson is a great singer but she lacks the depth of soul that's needed for this theme song. It would NOT sound genuine and authentic or soulful enough for me 🤔
She Was Fantastic . Great 👍 Job Ms. Jennifer

Jennifer Hudson needs to hook up with some talented songwriters. That is a singing women.
That's who originally sang The Jefferson theme song

You goooooooo jennifer loved how you sung you did justice to the song. Phenominal.
Awesome. She looks great too in '70's mode. I loved that entire broadcast!!
Let's pause to recognize that pianist and those backup singers. Sweeeeeeet!
The original was sung by Ja'net Dubois who also played Winnona on Good Times.
Willona.
She also cowrote the song
I hope they do this again with Sanford and Son and Good Times. I enjoyed this whole experience
Powerful voice
Jennifer Hudson can make rock a bye baby sound like a HIT!!!!
Did not see it live this past week (May 2019.)However based on the online comments and reviews and watching the highlights online, this was without a doubt, the highlight of this Kimmel/Lear led Bunker/Jefferson Special.
That is still my favorite! After watching both "Live in front of a studio audience." I really hope they continue to do more of these, just totally awesome!
Such an incredible talent.
She was absolutely amazing!
She DID that❤❤❤❤
That mustard yellow color is perfection against her skin tone
Yass Jennifer you killed it like everything you sing
this woman right here.....my good lord.....that voice right there.....KILLED IT
I've always loved the theme song from "The Jeffersons" & Hudson definitely kicked it up a notch! 👌
She was superb, not only can this woman sing like nobody’s business but she is drop dead gorgeous! I think I’m in love😍
Can’t tell you how much I love this
I loved when she was doing the lil shimmy move across the floor! And shaking the Wig!
YASSS! Your better church tiptoe! Can we just stop dogging her and leave Fantasia out of this..
But yet she wasn’t ask do it.
@jill scottman Better at doing what?? Both are great singers and we can support both because the American Idol contest is over🤔
How can someone so intimidatingly talented be so adorable as well?
The Jeffersons and Goodtimes are two of the best theme songs in TV history
yes! And A Different World with Aretha version!
I like Amen and 227 also!
I think she said “ Frish don’t fry in the kitchen “, but it was still awesome ! Seeing that apartment again in high definition color , man , it was a beautiful apartment!
Thought I ws da only 1 dat caught dat in da mist of all da "why dey ain ask da original singer to sing it".. Lol still gud tho
I loved it better when Wilona sung it. After all; Ja’Net DuBois wrote and sang the theme. That said, I love Jennifer Hudson. I wish her all the success in the world!
