She deserves her recent EGOT status. Flawless performance.
Yes!!!
She's awesome with showmanship.
I mean, does she even need the microphone?! The power in those lungs could run every major city in the country
Actually she plays around on stage sometimes by holding the mic away (or putting it on the stand and walking away) and projecting. It’s pretty cool. So no. Sometimes I guess she doesn’t need it lol
@@erintoney7137 Yep. That's some Patti LaBelle stuff. I love that Jen has truly come into complete control of her voice. It's huge and powerful.
You should check out Patti LaBelle singing Forever Young at Live Aid. She left the mic behind and belted out in a huge stadium.
StormCloud Patti did it hundreds of times lol
no, but the louder the better!
🌻❤️❤️
Her singing is timeless. She really gives the best tributes! Highly underrated artist.
krplus.net/bidio/p9ialZGJoLDGq6Q .,.,
Not underrated Though ,well supported on her reign 🥵...
Her voice is from her soul .
@@londihmklondihmk9976 I think she is underrated in terms of her singing career and what a talent like hers could've accomplished in another moment in time. Seriously, she has one of the most powerful vocal instruments in pop culture currently, and yet she has never had a huge radio hit. Not even one. Imagine if she had been a new artist in the eighties or nineties; I bet she could have easily been one of the biggest-selling vocal powerhouses of those decades right alongside Celine, Whitney, Toni, and Mariah.
@@t.e.burgos3263 I disagree. She is far from underrated. She has a Grammy and an Oscar.
As Oprah said herself on her show; It's a religious experience hearing Jennifer Hudson sing
That’s beautiful ❤
Black women are magical. Point blank period.
Nah Fam whoever you are you are magical!!
@@somanoma6465 you big mad. We are everything special and wonderful.
Period....
Soma noma that’s why everybody wanna be like us we are one of the strongest women there is
Yes girl, yes!!
Jennifer Hudson's voice is so powerful, it would be insulting to have her sing anything that doesn't project her full voice.
@@mamajedijaws4938 soooooooooooo true
🖐🏽 let the church say amen
You ain't said nothing yet. Powerful is an understatement!
No it wouldn’t because everything she sings projects her full voice..... she just that good
I don't think it would because she makes everything project her full voice
She is singing it in a higher key than the original. Jennifer’s vocal range is astounding
With a little rasp
Aretha Franklin choose Jhud to play her movie after witnessing this performance. Aretha wanted nobody else. ❤️
jomsart Fr
jomsart the trailer came out a couple weeks ago
I AGREE WITH ARETHA SHE WOULD KNOW WHOS THE BEST TO PLAY HER SINCE SHE WAS THE BEST⚘
And she pick the right person so glad she did sing Jenny!! God bless her love her one of my favorite🙌💞
It was actually when she watched her in the color purple on Broadway. She made her final decision then. But they’ve been in talks to make it for years.
She tells a story when she sings.
😊☺️
Amen
Joao Vitor 😭 i noticed that too. Her facial expressions, her rhythm, her diction, hand gestures, everything makes you wanna listen.
You know
Joao Vitor indeed
When Jennifer sings, she not only tells a story but she makes sure she empties herself on stage. What a moving and captivating performance. I tell you they dont make them like this anymore.
@ Moudi H/ Truth....Speak it!!!!
True
Why is no one talking about that magical moment when Oprah and Steadman hold each other’s hand? He reaches for her spontaneously, then without a blink she holds her hands out and he instantly grasps them.
I mean how beautiful is that?!!
krplus.net/bidio/o7F_Y56eg6CZk5g ...
That moment is actually a meme now.
She sat back so he touched her shoulders in a comforting manner, so she reached out for his hands...
It's worrying that people cannot read body language. 🥴
Yes. I saw that. The intensity and emotional connection between them was palpable and beautiful
And their relationship lasted longer than most traditional marriages🤷🏽♀️
This song hits different since God has saved me from depression. Now I proclaim boldly: I AM HERE!!!!🙌🏾
Me too!!
Amen
wish he didnt
🙏🏿
✌️❤️❤️✌️
Even a strong woman need someone to hold her hand...
lacramioara susma 💯
So true
Yes indeed
I was seeing exactly that moment when I read your comment.
lacramioara susma that statement alone 🙌🏾
Dear Jennifer if your voice was a colour. It would definitely be the colour purple. WOW. BEAUTIFUL.
Jennifer: magical.
Black Gospel choir: magical.
Oprah Winfrey: magical.
The Obamas: magical. We lived during an awesome era of excellence.
Yes!!!!
I read this morning, that 3 direct members of Jennifer Hudson's family were murdered. It cannot be real.
Her and Fantasia have the best renditions of this songs I’ve ever heard in terms of my taste of music and voice. And I like how they both sang it in their own way. Between this and Tasia’s performance at the Tonys it’s just sheer perfection from both my god. 💜🙌🏾
Have u heard Cynthia Erivo’s version in the theater? For me, no one comes close to her version.
@@bethovven Absolutely agree, they just don't hit like Cynthia Erivo
@@bethovven
Cynthia’s voice is nowhere as good as Jennifer’s or fantasia
Try again.
Jennifer is doing it for me. All voices are unique.
@@kittykatshazam you try again. She's better than both of them.
Jennifer Hudson definitely has the most powerful voice I've ever heard.
krplus.net/bidio/o7F_Y56eg6CZk5g
.
Yes
Try Patti Labelle
Don't forget Dimash kudaibergen also yuhuiiii
Can we just take a moment to realise that this girl came 7th in Americn idol!
Jack Kidson why I don't know she should have won. One of the most Amazing voices ever heard!!!!
Jack Kidson American Idol wasn't good enough for Jennifer... She was bigger than them. I'm glad she lost them, because she gained so much more!
I saw that supposedly the city where she's from lost power the night to vote for her and they couldnt vote. but lord knows she wouldve beat out fantasia
Most drop outs and Kicked outs got that extraand special thing
Jack Kidson still boggles the mind how she came 7th. I dont get it
I can’t believe this woman didn’t win American Idol!?! She’s a perfect mix of Whitney & Aretha....crazy good!!!
She more than won!!!
I’ve listened & listened to Jennifer Hudson. I’ve listened to her side by side & song by song. She is the only one that made me feel. She is gifted. She is the only one who delivers the gift.
They didn't present Jennifer Hudson on American idol very well. Her style of singing so diverse. But dream girls was her platform she showed out.
She was also on a great season…Fantasia and Diana were absolutely phenomenal.
Umm because Fantasia did!!!
The emotional range in Jennifer’s voice you can hear the pain, the truth & struggle of every character she plays. Amazing job 😊🙏🏻❤️👑
oprah's reaction is priceless. she is so overwhelmed.
She did the same when watching Cynthia Erivo sang this song.
Rudi Muliyono
I was getting ready to say the same thing... One of these videos is edited because Oprah, steadman, Obama, and Michelle did the same thing and Cynthia Erivo performance 😳
@@momorudi : 😄My point exactly.
@@missy5585 😂😂😂 Sounds like the Elite & Powerful might be cold-BUSTED at fakery! 😄
@@missy5585 Cynthia's was edited
This woman has been through so much pain and some of the most horrendus experiences anyone can face and she still radiates love and positivity.
A Diva already, and soon to become a Legendary Icon. One of the most powerful interpreters of her generation. She can sing anything! #Bravo!
Well said. Very true
Who's on here listening to every version of this song available on repeat after watching the new movie. Fantasia is on another level.
Me!!!
Every time I hear her sing, I get chills. Every. Damn. Time.
@Lisa Toro what is it with you? just let people enjoy the performance, my god.
R U taking medication? Hearing this makes me want to plug my ears. Maybe I should take medication 😄!
@Lisa Toro Yaas
@@goldensilenceakagoldielove133 oh honey.. get a life
@@Yuti19 I have a life. It just does not include enjoyment of this selection.
She is likely the best singer I have ever heard.
Better than Whitney Houston??😂 Not even close bruh
@@Unknown-fr4yy Yeah, bruh.
can we appreciate her and how this was literally transposed higher than the original
It's a fascinating choice.
I love to watch sis Oprahs reaction..beautiful..my sister O loves a beautiful rendition.
FORREAL
GENIUS! Takes the song to another level matched with Hudson’s range
I cried as she shared her soul with us. Bravo!
Totally amazing for me, how are you doing over there and God bless you?
How the hell can anyone dislike this performance??! She's absolutely amazing!
Look at her now a EOGT Winner you go girl 💞💞💞💞
This is breathtaking Jennifer has one of those voices that come around once in a lifetime
Nobody cares about this anymore, but I’ll never understand how Jennifer Hudson ended up in 7th place on American Idol with a spectacular VOICE like this!
I love how Steadman still to this day lets Oprah have her place. Hes never up in front never trying to over shadow her. Always having her back... Literally.
Dalia Rose' spouses always sit behind the medals honors
😄😄😄 Chile...
Yes Lord🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾😍
She is so dominant, convinced perhaps, she would be very difficult to live with long especially for a man. I would love to know more about him to know how he has managed it and her not ever sharing or committing fully.
@@alohalivin556 Well considering what she went through in her younger years. She has every right to be dominant.
Jennifer Hudson's voice in my opinion is one of the most Amazing voice I ever heard!!!!! Sooo beautiful
I cried 😭😭😭😭😭 this is a beautiful song and JHud was the female singer to deliver this song with true feelings of chills, soulful, Spiritual and so many words of making you feel Powerful, Strong and being grateful and thankful to who you are.👍💪💯👑💐🌷💜
The LEVELS of this performance!!! OMG! This is LITERALLY one of the underrated cultural performances EVER! BLACK PRESIDENT, OPRAH, THE COLOR PURPLE, JENNIFER HUDSON?!!
Story telling to the Max! Beautiful Job Jhud! 🤩
She Slayed That Song!!!
krplus.net/bidio/o7F_Y56eg6CZk5g ,.
Jennifer Hudson and Tennessee State University Choir -- the reason for my goose-bumps. Sing the song, my people! Sing it!!!
There's something about Jennifer and her performances that always makes me cry so easily, I love her so much
She did not need to win American idol. God was preparing her to sing for presidents, kings and queens. Continue to rise my sister
She is gorgeous in many ways.
A beautiful and natural powerhouse. I love her voice. And The Color Purple is one of my favourite movies.
she is ❤
Jennifer has that thing that unexplainable but it's a gift from God that Whitney Houston had. A powerhouse of a singer, a vocal story teller, and the ability to move her audience emotionally. To think she was cast of American Idol.
@@marioplater3218 ??? Are U smoking?
@joshua19942 😂😂😂 How old are U? Three? WHO tells someone else to "shut up" on social media? 😂 A platform for FREE, continual expression? 😄
Love Oprah's reaction when the choir comes out... It says it everything that needs to be said about this performance.
Tenn. State Univ is Oprah's old school ground, where she majored in Communication.
she's an alum of Tennessee State, so I knew she was gonna get emotional over that. Sounds so good!
I believe all the honorees sat next to each other on same row and their significant others in the row behind them.
Jada Hauser it's a popular gif on twitter
Beyonce is the 2nd mos awarded recording artist of all time. 23 Grammys, 28 MTV, 11 Billboard, 8 American Music Awards, 3 World Music awards. In addition to, International Artist of Excellent award, Michael Jackson Artist award, the Legend award for Outstanding contributions to the Arts. She is clearly the best!💜
Wow!! You know you crushed it when you make Oprah cry! Even the Obamas were moved! ❤️❤️❤️
Goodness! Her lungs could power countries for decades. Indeed, a living legend and an EGOT winner. 🤩
Powerful!!! Anyone,who saw the COLOR PURPLE, REMEMBERS THIS SCENE. STILL BRINGS TEARS. YOU SING JENNIFER 🤗🤗🤗🤲🤲🙏🙏🙏💜💜💜
the way she said "youre beautiful" made it feel like everything ❤. she is so amazing
Gets me every time I watch this performance, who’s here in August 2021?
The opening lyrics say so much about knowing one’s worth.
She has poise, classy , a majestic voice, a lady she is simply beautiful ! !
Oprah deserves all of the accolades extended to her....
Jennifer Hudson is such a beautiful, humbled singer. Bless them both!
Jolene8 Oprah ain’t shit but a snake in the grass!! She does some shady shit! She knows Fantasia sang this song in the musical, Color Purple, playing Celie, but yet she chose Jennifer to sing it at the Honors! Why?!!
Well said jolene8
H.Mercy because Jennifer’s version is better that’s why 🤣
Janet Walshe -- nothing wrong with showing different talents. Both women are very talented.
Choosing one to sing a song in one arena and allowing another to sing the same song in a different one, gives both talents exposure to wide audiences.
I'm gonna flirt with somebody as they walk by. The significance of that line alone speaks volumes. All-time favorite live performances ever.
Take a moment to think, how she lost her precious family members. This vocal comes from a bruised 💔
I am listening to this again here in South Africa and I realise AGAIN this lady is unique in this world. The passion and interpretation of the words is masterly done. The range of voice is also unique . I Yuki. A 71 year old woman looooooves this voice. Thank you.
Lawd its 2019 and I'm still crying this took me out😭😭😭😭
Sis me too
Yes my sister 😭😭😭 head phones on folks looking at me like WTF is wrong with her🤭
GOOSEBUMPS ON GOOSEBUMPS AND TEARS!!! JHud's voice is SOOOO anointed!!!
I'm not black. I live in India..somehow this makes me feel strong ,empowered and strong. Lots of love to all the minorities,the ones discriminated against and those that are denied the opportunities they deserve.❤
Arguably the best living female African American singer there is. She knows how to deliver a song with real emotional content.
Jennifer Hudson my homegirl, my former choir & my University......priceless!!
Really for me she his totally amazing, how are you doing over there?
Jennifer Hudson is the 🐐 of tributes ✌😍
That microphone was fighting for it's life trying to withstand the enormous tidal wave that is Jennifer Hudson's voice
I gained a new found respect for Jennifer Hudson
1:40 may be the most viscerally compelling lyric I've heard her sing
JHud could make a menu sound magical!!!
She’s the only singer that gives me chills ( literally ) every time she opens her mouth to sing! This woman can SING!!!!
Her and Cynthia sing this song so magically is amazing
Indeed. Very different covers but both equally impressive
Hands down her voice bares her soul! She is no.1
Awesome. Jennifer Hudson is hands down one of the best gifted singers of all times. Jhud you rock.
Jennifer Hudson is so talented I just love her she's one of the greatest singer that ever live.
She is so magnificent. I'm sorry glad she allows God to use her any way He sees fit.Her voice causes all pain,worry,and anything else that's not of God to flee.I love 💓💕 her
If Jennifer Hudson wins an Oscar for playing Aretha Franklin she would be the first black woman to win two Oscars, I really hope that happens especially considering the fact how underrated she is and how brillant she is
She is AMAZING!! She keeps strong after everything that happened to her family!!! INSPIRATION!!!
That “you are beautiful “ sent chills down my body🥺🥺👌🏿
Every time i hear jen sing. Im like damn girl who hurt you?!. Cause i feel every damn word she ever sings in my soul.
One of the best vocalists on the planet.... wow
I can't get enough of her voice.
I am mesmerized and baffled each time when I see her sing. Jennifer puts her soul when she sings. One of the greatest singer of all time.. I so so proud of her and wonder how beautiful person can be..
This is still one of Jennifer's best live performances! STILL.
Little did she know 5 years later she'd make her Broadway debut in the revival of The Color Purple.
this is by the grace of god. Absolutely beautiful and touching. my only wish is to see her perform live once
The humanity in her eyes , is everything
Jennifer Hudson the Voice of this era
Jennifer just makes everything sound better...
Now imagine seeing this performance live! It looses sooo much when watched on a pc, and yet.... it blew my mind.
Don't know ya but I hate you 🤪😉😁
Jennifer Hudson, worlds best vocalist ever. She’s a goodess
This whole song gives me chills but the note at 4:23 is just unreal
7.994 billion people have no clue what they are missing out on. 6.4 million views? A voice that truly touches your heart and lifts your soul. What a treasure.
One of the greatest vocal performances ever
True perfection. JHud has an emotional heartfelt and soulful voice. She is powerful singer. I can listen to her all day. When she sings Jennifer tells a story. You get caught up and mesmerized by her singing. The girl.can saannggg.
Jennifer Hudson one of the best voices, performer and actress in our time
When you get Oprah's approval you've won at life😂
As the song says you should love who you really are, and you do not need anyone’s approval to do that
@@Risktaker45 True. Who cares what celebrities think.
Oprah is two faced, covers up her friend's crimes, and stabs people in the back. Not my cup of tea.
Everytime I watch this it feels like I'm watching it for the first time. What a talented beautiful soul.
Still jamming in 2023❤.
Amen. I know the feeling, God be with you.
The most powerful passionate singer today
Musical perfection!!! Just her, alone, a microphone and that voice. So talented and so beautiful.. Nobody can command the stage quite like Ms Jennifer Hudson!!
EXTREMELY FANTASTIC, This Girl Can Deliver the Mail....Truly wish she would Sing lot of Gospel....🖐🏽🖐🏽🖐🏽🖐🏽🖐🏽🖐🏽🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
She's now the Voice!
Love JHud. Beautiful, powerful voice. I also loved how Stedman knows his woman so well... he reached for his ladies hands just as he knew she needed him. That's love.
Sings great and looks beautiful. Her tragedy of her family being murdered after she had such success made me feel incredible empathy & pain for her. We all need our mothers & siblings and I think her insane brother in law killed even his own son. Makes me cry for her.
One of the best voices of the last century
But why people gotta be up in my house cutting onions while I’m trying to watch Jennifer??? Leave me be. 😩😩😢
She sings in front of people who are so detached, and I hope that these people, their righteousness before the court and God, have to answer questions and answers.
