She sang Aretha Franklin at the audition and she sang at Aretha Franklin’s funeral. Now she is playing Aretha in a movie coming out this month. Just Wow!
Most of the winners of American Idol don't seem to be around as much. Usually the second place and other non-winners seem to have a slightly better career.
Her audition was brilliant. She didn't win American Idol, but she is considered one of the three best singers in the history of the show. And she went on to win an Oscar, an Emmy, a Grammy, and a Tony. She's a show business legend.
@@giuliana2920Adam is definitely top tier American Idol loser like Kelly and Jennifer but in terms of success, Jennifer and Kelly are far more successful than Adam especially the fact that Jennifer is an EGOT winner. Nothing beats that
When Aretha Franklin specifically asks you to portray her in a film about her life story. I think that's the kind of seal of approval that's worth more to her than winning American Idol.
Tbh that’s the “curse” of winning these competitions. Most of the winners go into oblivion after a year or two of winning while their runner ups tend to go further in the music business. Not all the time but often.
@@MB-nb7yqI would totally agree with that. Often those who don't win also have a much bigger say about the direction and style of music they're going to make and the type of image they have.
@@mdc5604 It's a long work day. You try sitting there for 10 hours looking and listening to thousands of potential competitors come through and see how you feel.
She was DESTINED for stardom. You aren't blessed with a gift like hers and only sing in a choir for the rest of your life. And that's why Jennifer IS who she is.
She's confident at her own skill but also very graceful, the way she's stunned when Randy said she's the best singer he has watched across the audition, it comes down as very footed to the ground and rock solid at knowing herself and her capability. Masterful
I remember when she was on American Idol and I was just so impressed in awe of her talent. Simon was so hard on her because of her weight at that time. Fantasia went on to win and I always felt that Jennifer Hudson should’ve gotten it. Both ladies can sing but Jennifer touches my soul
Now she’s a talk show host and had Simon on her show. It’s like “Look at me now “ in a subtle way. You bowed out gracefully when they voted you off but that certainly wasn’t the end of you sharing the talents that God blessed you with. Keep on climbing the stairs of success Jennifer. Proud of you.
When he mentioned her disney cruise job she was sooo excited and happy and then he followed up with "we're gonna get a better performance then a disney cruise performance right?" and you can see the happiness fading from her face. Those guys were assholes with her all along during this show and she proved to them she was born to be a star. Grammy award winning singer and oscar winner actress afterall.
That's because they don't like it when someone comes in to audition and the judges realize as she is singing that she is better than they are. She's a mile better than Randy or Paula ever were.
I can't believe how unimpressed they look. I have been listening to her singing for years now and she still blows me away every time she opens her mouth.
@@natakatsivalis It was different times of television, no faking and wilding and crazy reactions, just 2 guys and a girl, competent to judge others singing, listening and giving their pragmatic honest opinions
To be fair Simon is not a singer he is a talent spotter/agent/producer and he is bloody good at what he does(I wouldn't want to be on his books though)
she didnt finish first.. so she wasnt. not saying she isnt an excellent singer but the one they call "american idol" is the first place finisher on the show
@@seoulku american idol is the reason every one knew who she was thus leading to her success and fame... interesting logic on your part. life must be pretty rough for you
This season of American Idol still stands out as #1 for me. It was really MUST SEE TV! With Hudson, Barrino, and London known as the 3 Divas! It was such fun to watch❤️
The week she was eliminated, the phone lines in her home town were down on voting night. That's the only reason she was eliminated. And that's why the judges came up with the save. Randy said they were devestated when Jennifer got sent home.
This came up in my recommendations and was posted 15 years ago. It brought tears to my eyes to see her growth and to reflect on my own growth and wins through the years. You just gotta show up and put your best foot forward! Look at her now! I'm so proud!
And from that first audition, she has remained incredible. And even as an actress, she’s so much herself just like she is here. Beautiful and confident. Clearly a woman who knew what her life path must be! I just love the fact that she has just done that, exactly.. ❤️her!
It’s actually really sad that they put so much more energy into shaming people for not having good voices than they do praising people with great voices
thats because people are worthless. im sure you know many people like it in real life. cant be bothered to leave a good review somewhere even if they had an excellent time, however the first time they have a problem boom they go straight to leaving a 1 star review talking about how that place or person is shit.
I didn't like the negativity on Idol, but I don't think they should fawn all over people. Could give some false hope, and discourage others. Also gives the impression of favoritism
Thank you for sharing. I missed Jennifer Hudson's tryout on American Idol; never got the chance to see it. This was 15 years ago, wow look at her now.😊💖
She is not a mega superstar because she is not famous worldwide... for example in my country she isn't that popular if I ask a stranger he wouldn't know her...
She’s giving me chills and Randy got his arms crossed looking like he’s bout to sleep😭 so much raw talent in an asinine music industry. Glad she’s getting her roses now
I think that maybe she was one of the last ones that day and they seemed to be very tired, that’s way everything went so quick with almost no comments... but yeah, he was very disrespectul indeed.
@@niaimani4267 He wasn't disinterested. He was in shock because the second she started singing he knew she was better than anyone on the judges panel. They don't like it when someone comes in and is better than they are.

"It says here you just finished work on a Disney Cruise Ship?...We're gonna expect something better than a cruise ship performance, right?" If only Randy knew the extremely taxing demands that it takes to work 2 shows every night for 7 months straight for Disney (which is extremely demanding and picky of quality). She was MAINSTAGE PERFORMER, not playing lounge music in the atrium! As if somehow the AI audition room exceeds those demands, I think not!
@@ha-shatangrey6933 Me neither but she played on like a champ. I'd have been bent and probably showed it. I love her in Secret Life of Bees. She's not only a good actress, she's adorable.
Yet there are people who recognise talent when they see. If not for Randy, she would definitely not have been selected here. You can see the expression in other 2's faces. Simon was not at all interested and Paula was almost going to say no till Randy stopped Jen and made that comment- Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!. You can see Paula and Simon exchanging glances for a sec in that scene. They couldn't say no after such appreciative comment so they just went ahead. What Jen did after that was her ultimately hardwork. I didn;t know who that fat guy was but his eye for talent was remarkable.
I never seen such 3 bored faces. How insulting to cruise ship performers, they work so hard and have beautiful talent. I hope they ban him from cruises. Show some respect.
It is so hard to become a cruise ship performer. Just as hard as it is to make it on broadway. I don’t understand why they were so nonchalant about it.
Cruise ship performers have the Very incorrect stereotype that they are cheesy, overly energetic 70's cover troupes, or a sleazy lounge acts that actually hate the patrons. I'm thinking he meant that image with his comment.
She really turned this audition into a crazy wonderful career … literally amazing to see where she started from and where she is now my goodness who woulda known
Okaaaay!!!! I was always pressed about it. I'm guessing they were tired but a small part of me feels that they didn't think she would blow up so they didn't give this audition the time to act impressed because she didn't have the look. They didn't think everyone would be watching this particular audition for years to come because she was never supposed to win
After Randy said the elusive "Welcome to Hollywood!".. no one coulda predicted the amount of doors this was gonna open up for this talented, young woman... Academy Award, Grammy, Golden Globe!!!🏆
Sometimes they, and we, forget this is like sieve mining, you will be bored to death passing a thousand pebbles on a river before finding the precious stone.
Forever_UT_ fan Not really, sometimes he likes to butter people up like on the XFactor UK he overreacts with some people and at other times he undermines other people's abilities.
Randy: you think you're the next American Idol? JHud: Yes I do. Randy: You think you're the best we can find in america? JHud: Yes I do. And then the Grammy and then the Oscar.... #AmericanDreamComeTrue
In my opinion, she is BY FAR the most naturally gifted singer to ever come off American Idol. I loved Kelly Clarkson & Carrie Underwood, but she’s light years ahead of them. She’s Whitney Houston level talented.
You can't compare apples and oranges. The 2 have different voices. You can compare Christina Aguliera with Ariana bc both are Duva style singers. You can't compare Christina with Brittany bc of their different styles. Same thing here.
I agree she's a great singer. But putting her on level with Whitney Houston is insane. Whitney, Mariah Carey, and Ariana Grande all have vocals that are at least 2 steps above Jennifer.
She sang Aretha Franklin at the audition and she sang at Aretha Franklin’s funeral. Now she is playing Aretha in a movie coming out this month. Just Wow!
Right! It all comes full circle. She’s amazing
Amen
Amazing🙀
Imagine
She is really phenomenal glad she didn't win as we might not have got to witness all her greatness 💖👑🔥🔥🔥🔥🌹
I’d say that’s a full circle!
She's proof that you dont have to win to win
Sometimes wins look like losses.
Not winning the show turned out to be the best thing in her career.
She did better then win!
Most of the winners of American Idol don't seem to be around as much. Usually the second place and other non-winners seem to have a slightly better career.
@@strangerinwhite so true especially with Jennifer hudson!!
She didnt win American Idol, now, 13 June 2022, she got the Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony awards. Already a legend.
She didn't win in a TV show, but she winning in life 🔥
OH SHE's AN EGOT TOO!??
I knew about John Legend, but okay that is so great for her, she's been through hell.
QUEEN
Gak nyangka ya.
She sure showed Simon Cowell what greatness really is!!!
I just absolutely love her tremendous confidence in herself, not arrogance. She is amazing.
Exactly not conceited she has confidence but she’s humble about it and she’s not obnoxious she seemed a little shy at first actually
Damn I'd be self conceited too if I had that voice but she wasn't
@@carsonjones6479 She is clearly not humble, listen more at 0:18. "Yes i'm the best" wtf
@@hippopoloveWell, they asked her a direct question - what do you think is the “best” answer?

I’d just hope she wouldn’t scream in my face

“Her weight” she looks amazing, he was tripping 😭😭

Right she's a mile better than any of those judges and when she started singing they knew it!
A person doesn't have to be the best singer to be able to judge good vocals. Having an ear for talent is a separate skill.

Cruise ship performers have the Very incorrect stereotype that they are cheesy, overly energetic 70's cover troupes, or a sleazy lounge acts that actually hate the patrons. I'm thinking he meant that image with his comment.
Jennifer is absolutely beautiful inside and out. She is truly a winner on so many different levels! Such a great inspiration!
Two decades later, the only person out of this show to achieve an EGOT
The saddest part is seeing her mother and knowing the tragedy that will devastate this family Jennifer is a strong woman
What happened?
+ButtAbubakarVevo Her mom and some other family members got killed. Someone shot them
+ButtAbubakarVevo her brother in law shot and killed her mother, brother, and nephew
+Liv Viltz omg that made me so sad I read it when I was listening to her, do you know why they did that?
she apparently blood sacrificed them for more fame
They straight up disrespected her. Really rude from the start and speaking in such clipped tones even after she blew them away
No they havent.
Honestly they might’ve just been tired
they probably listen to so many garbage auditions from people who come in claiming they're the greatest singer in the country
@@yummycookie3429 what?
Ohh hush
She has an amazing voice and I love her.
Beautiful voice..true gift
She really turned this audition into a crazy wonderful career … literally amazing to see where she started from and where she is now my goodness who woulda known
And her journey isn't over yet. She wants to play the life of Oprah Winfrey. That should be interesting.
This show did really help a lot of people who otherwise would remain unknown, it was all in God's plan
…except for Cats. May that monstrosity of a movie never gain anymore traction.
Ikr its insane
@@verawallace9055 isso mesmo quando tudo está nos planos de Deus 🙏, dá tudo certo 👏👏👏🇧🇷
Who else is randomly here in 2021 thinking "the audacity" of the judges?
Exactly
Okaaaay!!!! I was always pressed about it. I'm guessing they were tired but a small part of me feels that they didn't think she would blow up so they didn't give this audition the time to act impressed because she didn't have the look. They didn't think everyone would be watching this particular audition for years to come because she was never supposed to win
Like Cher'd say "I am a fu***** Oscar winner"
Bruh!! 🙄
Me
EGOT WINNER!!! Love to see it
This is the greatest voice in the history of American Idol!❤
She deserves her success, she's one of the best singers of all time.
MY DRIVERS LICENSE COVER IS SO GOOD 🥺❤️❤️❤️🥺DONT FORGET TO SUB LETS GETT TO 1K🥺❤️❤️❤️
Facts
After Randy said the elusive "Welcome to Hollywood!".. no one coulda predicted the amount of doors this was gonna open up for this talented, young woman... Academy Award, Grammy, Golden Globe!!!🏆
And she also won an Emmy. Now she needs the Tony, to be an EGOT. She going to get it too.😊
Go girl, continued keep your head high. Don't back down look forward God bless you always.
@@trainflo4 this aged well, officially the 17th person to win an EGOT!!! Congrats Jennifer on her hardwork
She deserves it. True talent.
And now She is EGOT
I absolutely love her voice!
And many years later, she’s one of the best singers in world !!!
Judges looked tired and bored. Little did they know how amazing Jennifer is and how incredible her career would become...
Randy changed his mind really quick, though. lol
Sometimes they, and we, forget this is like sieve mining, you will be bored to death passing a thousand pebbles on a river before finding the precious stone.
I think that's why she makes such a great coach on The Voice. She's been there.
He literally said see you in hollywood...what the hell you talking about? And YOU would have known that she will be a superstar, right?
Wtf is wrong with Simon, he was just like 'very, very good', the only person that seemed genuinely impressed was Randy, and Paula's hair...
Leonard F So true, just look where Jennifer is now, she was fine before Simon and is doing absolutely wonderful without him.
+KMirijana I think "very, very good" IS a major compliment from Simon.
+KMirijana Because that is how he expresses himself, he is like that. As Lolia says, that is a huge compliment.
+KMirijana well he does listen to people sing all the time im sure and has watched a lot of great singers perform in front of him like this
Forever_UT_ fan Not really, sometimes he likes to butter people up like on the XFactor UK he overreacts with some people and at other times he undermines other people's abilities.
That voice is not of this world. Magical
I love to see her skin, she is so pretty. ⭐⭐⭐
Randy: you think you're the next American Idol?
JHud: Yes I do.
Randy: You think you're the best we can find in america?
JHud: Yes I do.
And then the Grammy and then the Oscar.... #AmericanDreamComeTrue
Only if you sing as an angel like she does! ;)
I mean that her voice is so powerful and sweet at the same time that she seems to be an angel. ;)
Are you telling her she can't sing . Baby you should tell me that
NOOOOO! I said she CAN sing as an angel! Sweet but with passion at the same time!
oneuniqueusername she like you brush
In my opinion, she is BY FAR the most naturally gifted singer to ever come off American Idol. I loved Kelly Clarkson & Carrie Underwood, but she’s light years ahead of them. She’s Whitney Houston level talented.
No she isn’t. You’ve lost your mind.
@@direfranchement yeah she is.
You can't compare apples and oranges. The 2 have different voices. You can compare Christina Aguliera with Ariana bc both are Duva style singers. You can't compare Christina with Brittany bc of their different styles. Same thing here.
I agree she's a great singer. But putting her on level with Whitney Houston is insane. Whitney, Mariah Carey, and Ariana Grande all have vocals that are at least 2 steps above Jennifer.
@@mongoose9851 Ariana Grande is not even close to the level of the other three women you named. Are you high?
She's Amazing 🎵🎶♥️
I loved Jen from the very beginning.So glad such wonderful things have been happening for her. She deserves them all.
And now she's playing Aretha Franklin... How the tables have turned. Good for her ❤️
I know amazing !
Just like Adam Lambert adition with queen song and now he is with the band queen .
❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Jennifer was ahead of her time! ❤️
Was? Lol
@@steviesosa5617 is** 😂❤️❤️
IN MY VIEW
A GOLD STAR for Jennifer Hudson's outstanding singing and genuine humbleness!
Black people don't have genuine humbleness (also, it's called humility)
🇨🇾 OMG! David I love you! 14 years and You Tube just suggested me this video! Thank you David! 💖
One of our BEST voices of this generation!
So true!
Ben Schaeffer You think so?
Exactly!!
Her hair looks so beautiful omg
gggggg CH vvv ft ggggye hi ijhjjuu7ùys1nnnhj
