@@chepo44 which is something she’s been so heavily critiqued and put down about as a vocalist, people saying too much power and not enough control. I’ve always loved listening to her. She can SANG
I love the fact that Jennifer Hudson has learned to not sing everything as if she is yelling. She has a beautiful voice; hands down, but performances like this where she finds those nuances and subtle notes is when her voice is the best. She saves all of her belting until the end where a climactic ending is needed. Kudos Jennifer Hudson, you have now entered the big league of great singers.
I think she goes to the belt register because from the start the industry made it her “big selling point” . The people around her did not encourage her to sing softly. I think one of her best performances is of “Hallelujah” . She shows restraint and the delivery is more heartfelt instead of show off. Hopefully she is now more comfortable with telling a story using all the softer parts of her voice.
@@MrZavezave Fantasia, also did a beautiful rendition of Barbra Streisand’s “What are you doing the rest of your life “ . Yet again she is not allowed to step outside of her performance box.
OMG this woman. Her talents, her beauty, her story, her grace and courage amid horrific family tragedy. And she just keeps getting better and more special.
Lots of singers who sing with range and volume can still sound the same years later. The sad thing is that many mega famous singers like Whitney succumb to tours, drugs, overuse in concerts. Jhud doesn’t do a lot of concerts, and she’s not in demand like mariah and whitney were. But she is quite the powerhouse
only two women can sing this masterpiece .... she and Barbra Streisand .... two women who are not from this planet .... my God .... I cry every time she sings ... her voice is of the angels ... I LOVE YOU DIVA❤
I love that she sang this in a totally acoustic setting, with natural reverb. Phenomenal voice and spirit. Beautiful playing by accompanist, whose name should have been included.
Beautiful! Thank god for you Jennifer! One of the most beautiful voices in the universe! My gosh! Successful black woman! Nothing is holding her back. And she knows that!
"You better sing!" Ok I've just thrown all my shoes and boots, including my husband's #Jenniferhudson I just love you, there is truly an anointing on your gift. I thank God for you and for every open door that is ahead of you. Keep shining. It's your time! xxx
thanks for sharing with us. this takes our minds off of and away from these crazy moment and times. I have two family members affected by covid. my younger brother is in the hospital right now. at the moment he is okay, but I am aware that it can change. he is having difficulty breathing, and it hasn't gotten worse or better. all my family can do is pray that it doesn't worsen. so thanks for giving us an escape for a moment God bless you and your family
after i saw that i will never even hum a word of that Song ever again...she did an Amazing job showing us her raw Talent...i bow before the New Queen of Soul
I would love her to do an album of these Timeless songs. Another one would be Bridge Over Troubled Waters. And she needs to do it in a recording studio with a full Orchestra. This would be so much more beautiful if the Acoustics and the sound was controlled
Jennifer Hudson❤❤❤Not belting or shouting everything or every note makes you a great singer. It is the softer notes and parts that are most difficult and really show your vocal talent, your ability to handle a song, and your ability to tell the story. Jennifer is really learning to do that. Good job Jennifer Hudson you saaang that😄😄😄.
Just look at her 😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍❤❤❤ there's been times in my life when I have needed a light to help me through the dark and she is there everything I need her....my 1 goal is to meet her just once.
The only person who gave me absolute chills singing this song was Patti LaBelle on the PBS Special Evenings with the Boston Pops, Patti LaBelle sang her face off for that performance! And his J-HUD gave me that same feeling again! 🥲😘 great job
Loved Jennifer ever since A.I. Already knew then she was the one to watch. What a glorious delivery of this song! She never ceases to amaze and thrill me. The singer I grew up with and blew me away with this song is Barbra Streisand. This was a theater song from West Side Story back around 1960. Barbra made it popular again when she included it on her The Broadway Album in 1985 with an updated pop version. (BTW, she won Grammy's best Female Vocalist that year!) She's been including it in her live shows ever since. You can look up the official video on her RUclips channel. But for me, her live version in '94 at Madison Square Garden and broadcast live in Times Square (I was there!) gave me the ultimate absolute chills! OMG those ending notes!! The video quality is def not good. But the audio is good enough to hear her pretty well. Enjoy! ruclips.net/video/Ky0dsDGEHS8/видео.html
Can you imagine this blessing...God has gifted Jennifer ..she has ALWAYS and WILL BE BRILLIANT! NO WORDS love YOU so MUCH Jennifer Hudson and thank you for sharing your love x
Wauw... I wish, I wish, that someday.. I will be singing a little bit like her. It is hard to come close... Her voice, her talent. A M A Z I N G ! Much love ❣❣
She just keeps getting better and better at her craft. She has built her technique and it has opened new doors for her. She can sing anything.
She’s controlling her voice more and more. It’s maturing
Totally agree with you! She has opened her voice and is very technically inclined!
@@chepo44 I first noticed her voice changing when she had to start preparing to be on Broadway for The Color Purple.
@@chepo44 which is something she’s been so heavily critiqued and put down about as a vocalist, people saying too much power and not enough control. I’ve always loved listening to her. She can SANG
@@jak30341 Yeah, there's a difference between singing and SANGIN'!
Jennifer Hudson is one of the best belters in popular music. I love the way she sang this song.
She has a powerful voice...INCREDIBLE!!!
The piano player is superb
This is by far the best rendition of this song. She needs to record this song. Her belts are beyond amazing.

I agree, this shows she knows how to use her dynamics. Because she used to love telling everything
@@mdgamble let’s see how much her style changes after the Aretha movie. I’m sure the will have been exposed to new ways of singing.
I think that is what distinguishes her from Fantasia.
@@MrZavezave Fantasia, also did a beautiful rendition of Barbra Streisand’s “What are you doing the rest of your life “ . Yet again she is not allowed to step outside of her performance box.

How over 10 years later she still sounds the same if not better and still down at that. Amazing.
She definitely sounds better to me and she looks better than ever ❤️
She definitely sounds better. I think she grew more into her voice as she got older.
Lots of singers who sing with range and volume can still sound the same years later. The sad thing is that many mega famous singers like Whitney succumb to tours, drugs, overuse in concerts.

More control
She sounds even better:-)
only two women can sing this masterpiece .... she and Barbra Streisand .... two women who are not from this planet .... my God .... I cry every time she sings ... her voice is of the angels ... I LOVE YOU DIVA❤
She can sing anything what a tremendous talent

Beautiful Jennifer, just like you!
I love that she sang this in a totally acoustic setting, with natural reverb. Phenomenal voice and spirit. Beautiful playing by accompanist, whose name should have been included.
I love her voice and personality. Beautiful!
OH ........MYYYYYYYY......GOD ! I can't ! Just can't ! Unbelievable !

I tried those high notes and the neighbors came out of their house asking if everything was ok. They thought someone was hurt.

You should listen to Aretha’s rendition! It’s absolutely amazing.
She tore the ceiling off that Performance Patti labelle Omgggg.
I will check out Patti's
Patti & Aretha are 1000 times better than J-HUD.
