I was listening live the morning this was recorded. Jennifer's publicist had already told Kidd Kraddick and his radio show crew that Jennifer singing was "off the table"..."Don't ask". Well, Kidd, being a big fan of hers, just HAD to try to get her to sing SOMETHING. So he makes up this ruse of having an "Aretha Singalong". I was in the shower when it started and by the time it was over, I was literally in tears listening to this woman (who the judges of American Idol deemed unworthy of winning) sing this song by someone whose version I believed was "untouchable". Ms. Jennifer Hudson, your talent is remarkable. I'm a fan for life.
"I gotta keep singing?" LOL! Jennifer is too funny! Anyway, this is another great performance! That's the thing about being a real singer. You sing on the spot! Like what Patti said before she sang A Chnage Is Gonna Come. Great job Jenni!
i wish she did a proper version of this, or there was a clearer version of it (not that her singing is unclear) i just mean, not one that's on a radio station or one that isn't her collaborating with other artists.... this version is just soo powerful and just... arghhhhh a-may-zing!!!!!
HOLY SHIT!!!I'm speachless and so emotional after this that i'm struggling not to burst into tears!I LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE it!!! Thank you, Jenny! god bless ya!
I love Jennifer because she reminds me of what music used to be. She has that old diva flava goin on wit her. Yes, She's bad! More young female singers could learn a few things from the old school song birds. I think Jennifer brings that old school feeling back! Her voice is awesome for gospel too. I just love her! God Bless Her!
This was back in December. I was listening and I couldn't believe she just went along with it and SANG the whole thing - Most jaded celebrities might have played along for a few bars and then laughed it off. She is a good sport and a fantastic musical interpreter!!
J HUD to be chosen by the Queen herself to play her in a movie about her life says alot you are one of the best and u will always be my American idol way to go JHud
Kidd Kraddick puts a smile on my face every morning with his show, this morning when Aretha Franklin sang over the phone she put tears of joy on my face. Beautiful moment
You must really like this version. This the third comment I saw from you on this video all from three different years. It's understandable because Jennifer is amazing.👍
Tengo 63 años y después de admirar toda mi vida a Aretha y emocionarme hasta las lágrimas en su actuación ante Obama con You Make Me Feel Like (Natural Woman), decido que Jennifer Hudson es la cantante más impresionante que he escuchado, su potente voz, sus increíbles interpretaciones llenas de color y magia, la hace única y destaco también su gran simpatía y humildad. Me encantaría que alguna vez, pise la Argentina.
MISS JENNIFER HUDSON ..WHERE IN THE TARNATION DID SHE COME FROM...I AM CERTAINLY GLAD SHE CAME TO US !!! SINGS LIKE SHE BEEN HERE BEFORE !!!! 07/17/2021
That's my Jennifer! Good Lord, I voted and voted for you, baby, when you were on American Idol, and you surely have delivered! You are just lovely, and your beautiful voice lifts us all up. Many blessings to you.
she may not be the next. but jennifer hudson has something that they aslo had. that soulful spirit, that powerful voice, that something that not many young female singers have today. whatever it is, SHE'S GOT IT!
Aretha is the Queen!! Why?? Not only can Aretha sing like a goddess but is a very talented musician!! I never knew that Aretha was a talented piano player!! Until I saw it on you tube!!! Bridge over troubled water or dont play that song for me. Aretha is the one that all female singers must beat to be compared better than her!!!! No one will ever come close.!!!
she's the next queen of song...isnt that wut aretha was? ya i think...aretha was original and always will be but jennifer just has that soultry gospel voice that i would kill for..i could listen to her sing all day..i love her voice...pure beauty
this generation needs their own Arethas Tinas Gladys' Anitas Warwicks Irenes Pattys..... She is great as one of those mentors. With out these women she would not be here they paved the way, you are right there cannot be a comparison to women who sang during those years but Jhud has come back from adversity. p.s. there are so many more I could have mentioned that was off the top of my head..
True but pleae don't wait for 50 years to love what she does, enjoy it now while you can, don't wait for awards or number 1ns to appreciate her amazing voice.
I know! I felt sad hearing this because she deserves so much, and then the shit just had to hit the fan...just when things were so good. God, I only wish her more joyness and less sadness in '09.
I agree with grandma! By the way...Jennifer has just won the part in Aretha's biopic! Hand choosen by Ms Franklin herself to play the part of Aretha!!!
That is so crazy! This was just AN INTERVIEW??!!?!? Damn that girl has skill! She should have done this song during American Idol. She would have won for sure!

one of the best renditions i ever heard of this song! Cant believe this was off the cuff!
Ms Hudson as Ms Aretha would b an Academy Award winning performance. I'm predicting on 3/3/17.

The morning crew stopped the silly backgrounds when they saw that Ms.Hudson wasn't playing singing the sh- outta this song.

She killed it with that.And my prayers are also with her and her family
Aretha is the Queen!! Why?? Not only can Aretha sing like a goddess but is a very talented musician!! I never knew that Aretha was a talented piano player!! Until I saw it on you tube!!! Bridge over troubled water or dont play that song for me. Aretha is the one that all female singers must beat to be compared better than her!!!! No one will ever come close.!!!
I can't believe that she just threw down like that! What a performer!
She’s sang this song 14 years ago. NOW SHE’S ARETHAN FRANKLIN IN A BIOPIC MOVIE!!!

it was live
it takes tru talent 2 sing that wel live and sound that good
wow....Jennifer whaaaaaaa ? definitely NO Fail !
She is ridiculously talented.
I know! I felt sad hearing this because she deserves so much, and then the shit just had to hit the fan...just when things were so good. God, I only wish her more joyness and less sadness in '09.
you make me feel
