@@frsh6272composed...hmm, maybe it's because she feels passionately about the song she's singing. Jennifer's performance here was remarkably well done & with passion
Love her restraint on this. She usually belts out at some point in a song, but she gave a nod to the mood of the original by keeping it subtle. Great artist.
This song reminds of the first time I saw my deceased husband. We had such a beautiful moment together and many memories are stored up in my heart. William, my love, you were my hero.
This song is for my husband from me the words express everything I feel about him ,and though he has left this life my love for him will never change xxx
Who arranged this version? Jennifer should perhaps put this arranger under contract. She actually sings this song where her voice lives!!!! One of her most beautiful renditions ever. Also, Jennifer actually sings the lyrics, which is unusual for many singers. Go, Jennifer------this was just beautiful. Congratulations and thank you.
The first time I ever heard this, it was sung by Roberta Flack at the Blossom Center in Cleveland, OH. I loved it, but Jennifer Hudson’s knocks everyone else’s renditions of this right out of the ballpark.
I've been a HUGE Jennifer Hudson fan since American Idol (where she was robbed!) Her pitch and tone are perfect and her power is unparalleled! Thank you Jennifer for sharing your Amazing gift with the world!
Ronnie, I love J Hud, but you can't say she was robbed. More people just liked someone else at that time. There were many seasons I did not agree with the winner, but that was just my opinion for my particular flavor. Anyway, a lot of non winners, including Jennifer, have come out of it ok. Nice wishes to you.
Just a fantastic rendition of Roberta flack song such emotion you can feel the love and pain in her voice when she sings sends chills up my spine and makes me cry.way to go jennifer.thank you.
Jennifer sends her unique touch to all she sings. She’s an absolute treasure!!! All who have sung this before her are tipping their hats!!! Beautiful! ❤
Great rendition by Jennifer, however, Ms. Roberta is still the Queen of this song. The song was meant to be soft, soothing, touching the soul, emotions and the sensitivity of human attraction and love. Roberta voice and vibrations was what made this song very special, her voice emanated the authenticity of the words of this iconic song.
I love J.Hud. I mean who doesn't? Her tender notes... ufff... ❤ so exquisitely executed. I love to hear and watch her more perform subtle and divine moments such as this🎉
There is absolutely nothing she can't sing. I always stand in awe when she sings. She deserves every award and reward she gets. She is quite an amazing young lady!!!! She is the EGOT newest and youngest recipient and worthy of it all♥️♥️♥️
It's only THREE PEOPLE that I can listen to, sing this song; ROBERTA FLACK, JENNIFER HUDSON and MATT CARDLE!! JENNIFER HUDSON is just so powerful, I feel every fiber of her being when she sings. I LOVE HER!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
She masters the control and grace if this song. She does not rush through it and leaves us waiting for each note. Her performance rings true with love and humanity.
Lets be clear about music updates, personal opinions, votes based on personal taste, tradicional inpirations etc, Jennifer Hudson is the bomb right off the beginnig, she's the latest, she' got the whole package, her personality and humbleness is backing up and supporting the beautiful angelical voice she posesses. Hey, lets just recognize so that God keeps blesing us thru her singing
Jennifer hits it out of the ballpark in grand slam fashion & in her own style. Loved how she kept the finale (my favorite part) true to Ms Flack's version - Bravo !
It is the emotion in every single note, her perfect pitch, the warmth of her tone, her dynamic variation, and how she embodies the song, not only in her voice, but in her face and entire body...
Oh how lovely. Roberta Flack I'm sure could not be more proud of you singing her song. Covers aren't easy but you held every note of this song. Congratulations!
There's an absolutely heartbreaking vulnerability Roberta's original has over any cover I've heard, including this one... but JHUD comes close, easily one of the greatest singers of her generation. Luv them both, but Roberta's still #1 here ❤️
J.H what a voice, vocal range not forgetting her energy she is so talented. She's also a very attractive woman. She always reduces me to tear, I so glad she won the America Xfactor a very deserving competitor. That has gone from strength to strength. She's made this song her own. Beautifully covered. She's going places yet she's appears so humble.
🎼 Jennifer Hudson, in my unsolicited opinion is the most incredibly brilliant talent that I've honestly ever heard in my lifetime. This says a lot considering my journey upon this earth. 😉 Besides her amazing vocals, she's undoubtedly the most beautiful human being, both on the outside and sincerely deep within her beautiful soul. The kindness, love and compassion she so effortlessly and generously offers others, is obviously so wonderfully real...making her uniquely, one of a kind. "Presently, she is indeed the most gifted artist; and a blessing to everyone with an ability to appreciate her existence." 🎶❤🎵
This young lady is so talented and beautiful to behold. One can see the influence of God in her. She has one of the most powerful voices in the music industry, and yet, she can sing softly when she wants to. She sings with such meaning. She is confident on stage, and as young as she is, she excellent dignity and great stage presence and composure. I am so proud of her. May God continue to be with her, always.
She is up there with Whitney in terms of the most beautiful voices of all time.
When people say that Jennifer has no control over her voice I request them to see this performance and shut their hypercritical mouths forever
Yeah but this is rare for her tbh; you refer them to this and not others. She is rarely this composed when she sings.
There is no need to respond to people that screwed up.

So true I was thinking the same thing!

This song is actually the song to a movie about a physco and radio announcer
@@myrabateman1790 really lol
@@prettyboimut1 the movies called "Play Misty For Me".
Jennifer Hudson's is the greatest voice in America today. She is a gift from God.
I totally agree❤
Have loved Jennifer since her American Idol days....most gifted female vocalist alive today!
Agree❤
I think this woman is so beautiful. And it's so tragic what happened to her family. May they rest in peace.
Hello Ellen how are you doing today????
Jennifer Hudson is such a beautiful woman! She is also a talented singer.
Hello Maryann how are you doing today??
Simply Beautiful ...
This song reminds of the first time I saw my deceased husband. We had such a beautiful moment together and many memories are stored up in my heart. William, my love, you were my hero.
Cascading Hair, simple dress silhouette, unembellished parts of the vocals, all added to the beauty.
Her voice stands alone!
A stunning Beauty.
Meh . . . This song has been done a lot better by Celine Dione and LeAnn Rimes.
@@phd2007 NEVER!!!

One word "Perfect" That's what you hear when Jennifer Hudson sings.
You just stop what you’re doing and listen.

Can't wait to crop. My new nan with this beauty
Her voice is amazing
Wowl, Love this! not over-sung....beautiful interpretation
She always sings beautifully and then throws in the tiniest things that make it 'hers' and not boring and generic.
No other talents in American idol can beat Kelly clarkson and Jennifer Hudson the greatest product of that shows.
BEAUTIFUL
@@buenaenriquez8424 You couldn't have heard Fantasia sing then no one even compare to Tasia
@@shanker2010 Kelly is my fave, but Fantasia is extremely underrated. Not only does she have a great voice, but she’s also an excellent performer
@@shanker2010 Jennifer Hudson is definitely amazing too. Especially in this performance
Keep coming back to this version ever since I've seen her sing it.
THIS SONG IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONG I EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE ❤❤
Jennifer is a awesome artist of song. Beautifully done. Thanks for sharing. ❤
Hello Sandy how are you doing today?
i've been a fan of hers ever since the dream girls and she has grown in stature over the years, she is pure talent.
A good rendition. Hard to beat Diana Ross
The first time ever I saw your face Mary Joanne I was in love! I still am !
Yolanda Adams, and Jennifer Hudson is the best singers of this generation... Yolanda Adams is very special.
Who arranged this version? Jennifer should perhaps put this arranger under contract. She actually sings this song where her voice lives!!!! One of her most beautiful renditions ever. Also, Jennifer actually sings the lyrics, which is unusual for many singers. Go, Jennifer------this was just beautiful. Congratulations and thank you.
Hello Carole... How are you doing today... 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
And I hope you do stay safe due to the pandemic over there.?
I think it was David Foster who arrange it, because it sounds pretty similar to Céline Dion version that was released in 1999
The first time I saw her on Americas Got Talent I knew she was gifted with a great voice.
The first time I ever heard this, it was sung by Roberta Flack at the Blossom Center in Cleveland, OH. I loved it, but Jennifer Hudson’s knocks everyone else’s renditions of this right out of the ballpark.
I concur! She really is a BLESSING to All who hear her sing. MAY GOD BLESS HER ALWAYS.
First time hearing this version. Absolutely beautiful version.
What an exquisite performance! I love her unstated hand movements - so powerful and full of feeling .......

Amazingly flawless. I wish she'd sung the whole song. She looks fantastic here as well.
This has always been such a subtly emotional tune. Glad Jennifer decided to cover it.
This is the singing you get when, raw natural top tier Talent has been refined and made better.
