Jamie really doesn't get enough credit. He can sing, play instruments, act and he's a comedian - he's a legend. So happy for him, he genuinely looks honoured
I said the same thing! We needed this!!! Definitely felt like the early 2000s when it was a great awards show! I hope she continues to plan it every year!
When Jennifer came out, she brought tears to Jamie and his daughter’s eyes. This is the best tribute and reaction to a tribute I have ever seen. Jamie is so grateful! 🥰
Yasssd Miss Hudson is s force in her field to be reckoned with.., She does not need a whole entourage on stage to validate her performance PERIOD!!!💯💜💯🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Them strokes ain't know joke I had one around the same time Jamie Foxx did it changed my life but by the Grace of GOD I'm still still here and I thank Him very day .I get to see my lil girl grow up.
Add in the fact that he was close to death in the hospital, too. If you haven't watched the comedy special he put out last year, I highly suggest it. Those are tears of a man who is grateful to still be alive. ❤
@Emerald-City-99yes when he fell ill and was critical, they were putting out there that he wasn’t going to make it, and then some put out that he had passed away, which most of us didn’t believe. Then it was confirmed that he was released and back home recovering.
Exactly! It was a great tribute from all, but OMG Jennifer. She could've left some of the stage for the rest of 'em. She didn't have to tear it all up! 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆
@stardustboy94 I have the right to comment every where I want, it’s the comment section. I’m also ever where defending Jhud and her talk show, because I 100% support her. So if I want to say Fantasia is another person to me that always get a standing ovation, I can. Obviously you must be jealous other people agree. Jealousy is not a good look on you. lol 😂😮
I've always considered Luda's verse on Unpredictable to be one of his best verses ever, and it was always a shame the song wasn't big enough to warrant a live performance. What a surprise to finally see Luda rap those bars live.
@anthonytaylor7928yes you can . That’s why she didn’t have the hit radip songs like she should. Radio play is not always a plus either. This woman’s voice is amazing.
Jamie really doesn't get enough credit. He can sing, play instruments, act and he's a comedian - he's a legend.
So happy for him, he genuinely looks honoured
YES, let's say it again a damn legend for sure this man can do it all!
Fact that man is all round talent
Not to mention he's an amazing father❤❤❤
A movie star don't forget 😂😊
@andersonmat100 i mean i did say that he can act
We need Jennifer off that couch and back in the studio and on tour!!! DAT DAMN VOICE!!!
Screaming
Lmfaooo I was LITERALLY just saying this to myself 😭🤣
Ok! Yes!! Her mic is Always on! Flawless 🎉❤❤
Exactly!! You can hear it in her vocals she’s ready to let loose lol 😂😂
And the outfit was exquisite from head to toe !! Period !!! 🔥🔥🔥
Jennifer said…”y’all must’ve forgot”….😂😂😂✊🏾✊🏾👌🏾
Damn right

Tank yelling "There She Go" when jennifer came out 😂😂😂....i have watched this an unhealthy amount of times!!!❤❤❤❤
Me too 😂
I come here at least once a week 😂
@purple_and_dassitI don't feel so bad 😂
@quijelmina boo don't feel bad. I'm going to thank you for your comment because the engagement brings me back to the video
@purple_and_dassitI noticed...every time it pops up for me...I'm watching it 🤗
TI face spoke for all of us during J Hud performance 🔥 🔥
It should be meme of the year for 2025!!! lol
The someone farted face is when you know someone is releasing notes for us
😅@rlazz
Yes, he is 🔥🔥
He really did.
So humble of Baby Face to tribute someone younger. Love to see the brotherhood!
That was amazing😲
Love him. I swear he's pushing 70 yet he STILL has his namesake. ❤
Babyface doing your tribute is so freaking humbling....I was crying like Jamie.
Remember, some always reference Baby Face in his commentary. He had mad respect for Babyfaces music.
@danavixen6274 he is pushing 70 and he looks and sounds amazing
Jennifer Hudson is in a league of her own
Facts
She is who she thinks she is🙌❤️
That part! ❤🔥
Yes, Jhud, Fantasia & KeKe Wyatt neither of them get enough credit!!
At this point, she created a new league. I still don’t think she can take down Patti Labelle, but she’s next.
Jennifer's voice is truly anointed
Anointed By whom for what?
This girl should do a gospel album
That voice on Jennifer !!! My GODDDDD
A true gift from God 🥹
Jennifer let all young female r&b singers know....Its levels to this ish 😂
She did that!!
Normally I feel like she over tries but this suites her😊
I have rewatched Jennifer's segment an unhealthy amount of times, her voice is unbelievable and effortless!
Baby!!! JHud don’t play around!!! She walked off like, “You’re welcome!” Period!!! Never disappoints!!
For sure.😊
He realized how loved and respected he is by not only peers but legends in the game 🥹🥹🥹
Jennifer performing like she's never taken a break from the studio!! Baebeeee!! 🔥

When Jennifer came out, she brought tears to Jamie and his daughter’s eyes. This is the best tribute and reaction to a tribute I have ever seen. Jamie is so grateful! 🥰
I agree . It really made me like him more because it shows how appreciative he is
Cause this time Effie White is gonna ahhh winnnnn ❤
@muckalopes517 😂I caught that and I love it!!!!!
She brought tears to my eyes too!
They were both about to shout!! 😂 Jennifer’s voice is truly anointed no matter what she’s singing!
Jennifer Hudson voice is soo powerful it brought some people in the audience to tears including myself

Yasssd Miss Hudson is s force in her field to be reckoned with.., She does not need a whole entourage on stage to validate her performance PERIOD!!!💯💜💯🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Smoke and mirrors🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just good singing. And Doug E Fresh... you know there's gonna be a party when he shows up!! This whole thing was amazing!!! We need more of this.
When J-Hud looks into the camera at 4:42 , she is reminding EVERYONE at home who forgot who TF she is! 🔥🔥
That’s that American Idol training too! 😭 sing to the people at home too!
Yes.
💯
If that ain't Effie White singing to Curtis 😂😂 that's all I could think about when Jennifer was singing
Jamie and his daughter’s reaction is so genuine❤
Yes i like that they didnt tell him before hand bcuz that look on his face was heart felt
So cute 😭😭

We almost lost that man but by the amazing grace of God he is here and being honored! 😭🙌🏿😭 They did that!!!!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭

@danavixen6274 FACTS!! It's about time Jamie Foxx got the recognition he deserves!!
Jennifer Hudson stole the show. Bravo! 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾
Jamie foxx felt like it wasn't his time yet, but you can tell he got emotional so quick because he felt it from his friends
His Time?!😮
Made me cry
Right
Add in the fact that he was close to death in the hospital, too. If you haven't watched the comedy special he put out last year, I highly suggest it. Those are tears of a man who is grateful to still be alive. ❤
@Emerald-City-99yes when he fell ill and was critical, they were putting out there that he wasn’t going to make it, and then some put out that he had passed away, which most of us didn’t believe. Then it was confirmed that he was released and back home recovering.
Jenifer making Gold Digger become a Church song is crazyyyy 😅❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
I felt like giving an offering!
Was about to run to the altar
Ray's style was gospel. It makes sense.

Praise the Lord !!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Makes me so proud!!!
Fr 💯 this one was so good
Diddy locked up

😊
Awesomeness 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿💐🌹
Yes, yes, yes!!!
It truly was. Just GOOD music, with Great singers, honoring a Great Guy! Oh so good! 🎉🎉🎉
But who is the guy in white that ran out with T-Pain?
There is nothing like receiving your flowers while you are still alive to smell them.
Exactly! It was a great tribute from all, but OMG Jennifer. She could've left some of the stage for the rest of 'em. She didn't have to tear it all up! 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆
💯💯💯💯
Nice said
That woman wasn’t even out of breath

Tank is too funny 😂... when Jennifer came out he said "oh there she go!" like he's really blind 😂😂😂
Tank Is Funny As Hell😂😂

I am weak!
SOON AS J HUD SAID “BABAAAAYYYYY” tears formed in my eyes… amazing voice

In the wells of my eye! 🥹🥹💗💪🏾
Jennifer is UNMATCHED
Baby Jennifer ATE and left no crumbs!! My God what a voice
Seeing how emotional this made Jamie made me emotional. It’s beautiful to see how humble and honored he was.
You can see the joyful, teary expressions in his face. It's beautiful ❤️ 🎶
Same! Made it that much more special.
Jennifer had to remind us who she was!
And still is!
Jennifer / Tank was my favorite part ❤
JHud did that
Drop the 🎤
I was ready for Jennifer Hudson to come out and sing and I am telling you… you’re gonna love me Jaime 😭🤣
FRFR LIKE YOU A LIAR CURTIS 😂
Please!!!! 😂😂😂
Or for her to say “this time Effie white is gonna win”
😂
Call Jennifer if you want a standing ovation
Or Fantasia❤❤❤
@StraightUp101clock it babe! 😘❤️
@StraightUp101 You are everywhere bringing Fantasia‘s name up. Jealousy isn‘t a good look.
@stardustboy94 I have the right to comment every where I want, it’s the comment section. I’m also ever where defending Jhud and her talk show, because I 100% support her. So if I want to say Fantasia is another person to me that always get a standing ovation, I can. Obviously you must be jealous other people agree. Jealousy is not a good look on you. lol 😂😮
When Jennifer walked out, jamie almost had a baptist fit
I've always considered Luda's verse on Unpredictable to be one of his best verses ever, and it was always a shame the song wasn't big enough to warrant a live performance. What a surprise to finally see Luda rap those bars live.
Unpredictable my favorite song by him. It's such a gem
Yes! I love that song! ❤️
I couldn't agree more!
Luda STILL got it too! Skills! ❤
Luda so underrated
Ok are we not gonna talk about Jamie’s reaction when he heard and saw luda come out ❤
Amazing. Start to finish. But Jennifer…WHEW!
4:35 this is called “SINGING YOUR FACE OFF”
Jennifer is "The Voice" , period. 🐐
No The Voice is resting in paradise. But Jennifer is definitely one of the best.
Tank sang his face off!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 so did Jennifer
Yes, he was!! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Babyface to sing unpredictable is amazing
Hey we share a last name 😂. 👍🏼
This man's voice is so smooth
Tank is so damn underrated !!!!!
He sounded amazing!!
Definitely!!! 👍🏼
Always been. Tank 💚
I wanted him to do more!!
😊 Facts ❤
You just know that you have reached legendary status when Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds opens up a tribute for you 😂😂
Jenniferrrrrrr!!!!! I done threw my shoe at my phone screen....you betta sang sis!🙌🏾🥰
😂😂😂😂😂
Yep! Not sing! SANG!!! 😂❤
I threw my shoe at the TV girl before I knew it and thank God it was just my house you😂😂😂!
Right fr she ate and left no crumbs
😂 yesss
Jennifer’s voice is way too powerful for radio. She is a performer. Absolutely amazing!!
U can never be too powerful for radio trust all artists want their music played on the radio especially from a marketing and promotion standpoint
@anthonytaylor7928yes you can . That’s why she didn’t have the hit radip songs like she should. Radio play is not always a plus either. This woman’s voice is amazing.
Yessss, 🙌🏽 EGOT!
@Bagneriseone Outside of a few, she wasn't given the right songs. Incorrectly marketed.
@candiceburke2330I can agree with that
FANTASTIC TRIBUTE🎉. Babyface went home and wrote 15 songs for Jennifer Hudson!😊
I hope so
😂😂😂 RIGHT
😂
I really hope so ❤❤❤❤ frfr
That Jennifer Hudson, Pattie Labelle, Whitney Houston and Aretha Franklin brings tears to your eyes whew!!!!!!
And J. HUD!! Mic stays ON !!! Her voice guts me in the soul every time ! 😩😩😩🙌🏽 baby is anointed !
She didn’t even need the mic, she pulled that mic a good two feet away from her mouth and still delivered the goods like it was still right there.
Jhud voice stole the show 🎶🔥 church choir voice!!
Now THIS is a tribute. Black excellence at its best. This the soul Remmick wanted 4:04
THIS this right here
okayyyyy
🖤 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Everybody was great but that is THE TEDDY RILEY...the man responsible for a whole genre of music, New Jack Swing!!!
Ms. Hudson took us to church, to school, to the good ole days and to heaven!
😂😂😂true. But i don’t know about the heaven Part because i think actually nobody in the entertainment industry can take us to heaven.
That is hilarious 😂😂
Jennifer left no crumbs ❤
Period
NOTHING!!!!
Whomever thought to pair Babyface and that Unpredictable record deserves a raise.
Jennifer made me forget about Tank…😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😂😂😂😂😂😂
Now this is the BET awards I remember!! Actual celerities! OG cameos! Make this a regular occurrence from now on!
When J Hud steps on stage , she shuts it down.. Queen of tributes indeed!!
Queen. Dreamgirl. And unmatchable I see why the Executives in the industry selected her to portray Aretha… it’s plain obvious 💯💜💜💜🌹🌹🌹🎤🎶🎼🎵
🥰
Jennifer understood the gahhdamn assignment. Yessssss!!
Someone need to honor jennifer hudson 🤏🏽😍
He was truly overwhelmed by the love🫶🏽
The tears. The humility. Thank you God for sparing his life. 🙏🏾❤️
I agree and he and his family made me cry at how emotional they were!
They know DAMN WELL Jennifer Hudson should have been the closer 💯👏🏾 Hell even I stood up I walked off 😂 Like we can go home now
I said the same damn thing why wasn’t she the closer? It didn’t make sense to me.
I couldn't agree more and thought the same exact thing!!
I mean, she DID close it...cause WHO was aftet her???😂😂😂
