I wish people would stop comparing Fantasia and Jennifer because their only similarities are the colour of their skin. Fantasia takes you to church and got that old school spiritual voice that just rips your heart out with the emotion she brings everytime and you feel what she feels. Jennifer is crisp and clear like a cool drink on a long hot day. Hudson just takes you on a journey with her voice and shakes your core the way Whitney did. Both women are PHENOMENAL singers and AI was blessed to have discovered them because these women right here are very rare.
I think part of it also has to do with the 3 of them being the 3 best singers of the season. Diana degarmo was great but imo she got nothing on these 3
A great reminder that Season 3 was epic: we saw a Top 3 (Fantasia, Diana, and Jasmine) that was all under 21, all female, and 100% diverse. We saw 3 females hit the top 100(Fantasia, Diana, and Jennifer), 4females( Tasia, jhud, Diana, latoya) in the Top 8 go on to headline Broadway and National Tour Productions, And 2 females( Fantasia and Jennifer) to go on and become 21st century Music Legends.
That high note from Fantasia and the crowd stood up.. shows that she is just simply the best..... we need more of her main stream. Btw, she will be winning the Oscar starring in the color purple. I said it here first
Season 3 was the best season idol ever saw. Yes there’s lots of seasons with great people. However, Fantasia, Jennifer, Diana, and Latoya are a cut above the rest and we saw them all in the same season. That’s EPIC.
you sound crazy af! Fantasia is the only one in this video with a #1 song on the Hot 100 as well as other charts . When I see you has 350 million views on RU-vid alone. And sold the most records of the woman (all who I love) in this video. She is a star.
Jen’s voice is so crisp and clear, which is a rare quality that people like Whitney exhibited so well but FANTASIA is a RAW vocalist!! She is like Patti Labelle to me!
OMG, that's my exact comparison. Jennifer is polished like Whitney but Fantasia is like Patti, can be a power house when needed and got those riffs.love em both but Jen can't do nothing with Fantasia. But both have great voices, but yeah Fantasia tho
@@radiogirl6859 I disagree Jen is like Aretha soulful but polish. Tasia I love her ass but sometimes she can take me away from the music when she should just sing. I think that's a family thing because KC and JoJo are like that too.
@@melaninenriched7844 If you think Hudson sounds like Aretha you need some serious medication. Aretha and Fantasia are very alike, it is the riffs and fast runs and just natural ad-lib and deep soulful sound. Hudson is just a noise.
@@markdrinkwater1508 Was it necessary to get ignorant? Opinions are like assholes we all have them. State yours and let that be damn communication is a dead skill these days. Tasia dramatizes her performances whereas, Jen doesn't much like Aretha. Patti is dramatic. Also, their voices Tasia's and Aretha's aren't close by far in regards to register but Jen's is. That was my point without using so much words. I too, know Tasia to be soulful like Aretha but never as in control and I'm not talking vocal control.
They both were placed where they was suppose to be. Jennifer got eliminated when she was suppose to. If she wasn't we might not see the Jennifer we see today. The Grammy, Oscar, and Tony nominated Actress/ Singer. And we wouldn't have had one of the best performers and singers Fantasia Grammy awarded winner.
Wonderfully stated. When it is time for us to emerge as the powerful individuals we are destined to be, it happens. No mistake, circumstance or situation. It just happens!
All three of them are so brilliant vocally. I'm so glad they reunited for this performance. It's too bad that Latoya didn't make it big like Jennifer and Fantasia did. She's still active in theater industry though.
People are always asking (between Jen and Tasia) "who is the best" or "who you got in a showdown or battle". They are BOTH excellent singers! Hands down...point. blank. Periodt. They both bring their own unique seasonings to the table. They stay in their lanes...and travel it VERY WELL. And we appreciate them both! ❤❤ these 2 Divas!
Jennifer's voice is simply out of this world. Two time Grammy winner, Oscar winner, Golden Globe, Emmy winner among other honors. One award away from EGOT status. Hand picked by one of the best singers in history, Aretha Franklin, to play her. We can see why. Keep it up Jen. Can't wait to hear that forthcoming album!
I think people underestimate how much Jennifer Hudson grew after Idol when they say she deserved to win over Fantasia. Fantasia killed her season and she is still killing it. Jennifer had an amazing voice, but needed some time to grow into it I think. Fantasia was ready, Jennifer wasn't yet. Now, I don't think there are much singers that would be able to beat Jennifer Hudson in a singing competition.
Jason Johnson that's a ridiculous thing to say you forget it was a singing competition and you are usually under pressure when you're in those situations Jennifer was already professional she just was under pressure cuz they kept telling her how to use her voice but she got the last laugh and I'm glad that Jennifer did not win American Idol and didn't have to live with that damn title
BlackLives Matter where? I heard a young powerful tone and voice with Jennifer and a old ass church woman’s voice in fanny? It’s a no for me, we see who ended up the bigger star!
Jennifer proved why she won the oscar, grammy and emmy. Now all she needs is a tony to be up there with those very very few actors like Barbra Streisand and Jessica Lange who have won the four highest awards in the entertainment industry
Fluffy Anxiety she got that Grammy Oscar and Emmy for a song that she didn't write please run along. Jennifer Hudson is an amazing singer but her albums everyone has been a flop. And Fantasia was the clear winner of her season from she audition.
I felt it!! It did hit home.. esoecially when she says "You will not lose it all, remember the music" Gosh Jen is my everything i want in a song. thou Tasia is good too
See we called them the 3 divas for a REASON! Because all three of these ladies can SANG. What I love about Fantasia and Jennifer is that they both come out of the church. They are two different style singers. Fantasia has that old school quartet gospel style voice while Jennifer has that old school church choir voice. Fantasia energy always gave me Patti Labelle. Jennifer range, poise, power and soul gives me Patti and Aretha combined but with a lil Whitney thrown in there. Latoya is great as well. She always gave me Broadway. Beautiful performance.
Success-wise, accolade-wise? Yes another level. Ability and talent and voice-wise. At best she on their level. At worst, she’s the least talented of the three. However let’s be very clear, THESE THREE ARE SUPERNATURALLY TALENTED. but I am dead at the first reply. Lmao
Devin Fairrow aha thats right, well said. Jhud voice is simple but perfectly controled and strong, Fantasia's voice is more unique but less controled.. anyways they are 3 great interprets
All these years later and as great as all 3 were, I still finished it thinking there’s something about that Fantasia man. JHud was incredible, but Fantasia stole it with that track and performance. It was her moment all over again
attention everybody make sure u get Fantasia new single called "Enough" available now on itunes and amazon com and other outlets make sure u get ur copy and please make sure u keep the video to the song on repeat
Fantasia. I watched the Entire Season ! Start to finish there were very good performances Of the other Artist! But there's One that STOOD OUT Among Them All ! FANTASIA BARRINO!!!!! Perfect performance each time time she Sang .and like Randy Jackson Said it's about Tone And what comes from Deep within when you are singing! Simon Cowell Saw it and felt it as WEll!Fantastic is one in a million kind of artist ! Every Song She Sings you get Something From it! I love this young woman! She Seems to be to me So pure of Heart! I Believe she Loves Everyone! Inspite of the Negative comments about her! That I didn't here about any Other idol!? I believe it was because they knew how great She was and Is to this DAY!! So evil raises it 's UGLY Head to Try and Block her Advancement into the music industry! God has planned out Fantasia's life and only he knows how it End! So you Haters. Out There who keeps trying to Stop Her !you Want!!! God got Fantastic and she knows this! And want Stray from Him in Spirit and Truth! The Song She just Sang!? Did you. Feel Anything? It was beautiful! Very emotional! God bless. You Fantasia Continue to be you! God got you! And He Has Everything! Much love to you and YOUR FAMILY! .A FAN !
MsDreamscaper I remember doing that season Latoya said how she disguised herself with scarfs and big glasses when she go to the store so people wouldn't recognize her and stop to chat hahaha. Funny how time bring about a change, she would kill to get that recognition nowaday because nobody knows her anymore hahaha. So funny!
Congratulations JHud on all of your success. I've always said Jenn's voice is what you hear every Sunday on the praise/whorship team and or choir. A lot of people may not have singers like that in their church but I definitely have them in mine so I've never really been wowed by her voice alone although her awards for Dreamgirls was so deserved. Fantasia is just different. From her style, to her own emotion through song, which pulls emotion from most of us, to her presence on stage. The girl has an anointing all over her.
Women absolutely slayed season 3. I'll never forget it. Soo much talent in one season. Idol was riding the peak. So many women dominated they had to introduce the 6 men, 6 women rule the next season 🤣
3 great singers!!! On some level it's a question of taste, but even in this performance (and the audience responses) you can hear/see why Fantasia won her season. And that's not comparing her just to JHud who wasn't even in the finals. (She wasn't even Top 6.) Fantasia not only has a great voice, but she has a presence on stage that Jennifer still doesn't have IMHO. Fantasia has an ability to embody the songs that she sings that very very few people have. People refer to her as raw, but you almost NEVER hear a bad note out of her. I agree that JHud improved vocally since Idol, but I think that a part of the reason she went home (besides the CRAZINESS of the 3 best singers being in the bottom that night) was because she wasn't as "likeable" as Latoya and Fantasia. Kudos to JHud for her "acting" awards and Grammy, but her MUSIC (which is what Idol was about) has NEVER outsold Fantasia's. And that is a simple fact. I'm glad they're all doing their thing and wish LaToya (and George) had made it bigger. They were a part of the BEST season of American Idol.
@@remzmarac2357 It's amazing you say bullcrap but can't provide proof to discredit what the person is saying. 🤷🏾♂️ Jennifer is known for her ACTING (where she sings in movies) more then her music🤷🏾♂️
The truth is, Fantasia got a record deal as a prize on winning American Idol while JHud had a record deal years after Season 3. Jhud is basically self made while Fantasia has the push of the record company at American Idol peak. JHud is still a success regardless and now she is an EGOT winner.
@@iris089 , do u honestly think anyone would know Jennifer's name if she had not been on Idol? That she would have gotten the part in Dreamgirls had she not been on Idol? I won't even go into how the tragic murders of her family members increased her visibility and sympathy for her. Idol helped make Jennifer as much as it did Fantasia. And even with all of her fame again her music has never outsold Fantasia. Not one of her albums. I still don't think she's a great actress (Oscar or not), but she has an excellent voice and has been making some smart business decisions. Congrats on her EGOT status.
I'm happy they are all living their dreams. It's fun to watch Jennifer as a Voice judge in London. She's been there and she knows how the contestants feel.
Fantasia is just more polished now, she knows when to place her money notes now. Jennifer has range,tone, and clarity. Just no presence or good material. They both are of the top 5 vocalist of this generation easily. Jennifer has Aretha's style of soul, Fantasia has Patti's of style soul. Two completely different things.
I hear this all the time and it's soo reversed! Fantasia's range and style are farrrrrrr more similar to Aretha and Jennifer's style and range are far more similar to Patti. I don't get why people can't see this.
