OMG, she did not mess up singing this song. This is one of Patti Labelle's signature songs and this is how she sings it. This comes from a gospel/baptist/old school form of singing that not many singers can do anymore. It's HER rendition, it's a tribute to Patti's rendition and she did it justice.
i loved when she climbed up the ladder to the high note and her reaction after she did it *priceless* she already knew she had killed it JHud you did a phenomenal job
Well the song wasn't meant to be sung like the orignal. Patti made it a soul versoin. Just like there was "The wizard of Oz" and "The wiz". Black folks just have a way of doin stuff diff from white folks. some people like it, and some don't. It ain't for everybody. In this versoin it's expressing how she wants to fly and what's beyond the skies, so she simply expresss anxiety for it. The song builds up anyway if you psy attention closely.
I JUST WANT PEOPLE TO STOP COMPARING HER AND FANTASIA BECAUSE THE BOTH OF THEM HAVE VERY VERY VERY AMAZING TALENTED... CHILL GIVING.... SPINE CRAWLING VOICES.... I JUST LOVE THEM BOTH!!!!
Jennifer Hudson is blessed!! This girl has my body covered with goosebumps over this rendition! God Bless you!! This is one of the best renditions of this song EVER!!!
FOR ALL OF YOU CRAZY PEOPLE SAYING SHE IS SCREAMING.....GO STICK YOUR HEADS IN FIRE....THIS IS WHAT SINGING WITH SOUL IS!!!!!! I WANT MOST OF THESE SINGERS TO DARE SING THIS......LIVE!!!!!! JENNIFER HUDSON SUNG THE MESS OUT OF THIS SONG!!!!!!!
This is what you call VOCALS... This women has LUNGS!!!!!! I have NEVER heard anyone with so much power and control over there voice in a very long time. This is the women to beat when it comes to vocals... I personally believe you can put her on the stage with ANYONE and she would hold her own!!!
Wow, that was amazing. Just watching Patti out in the audience-totally moved obviously both by the song and the performance from one amazing singer to another newer singer-you can tell Jennifer is singing RIGHT at HER the whole time- and Patti is just loving it!
What a powerfull and beautiful voice she has ... have not heard dat kind of sound frm Whitney H. days in the 80'sssss. I love it, pure talent I tell you. Keep up the good work Jennifer :-)
OMG that was soooooooooo beautiful I almost cried........PATTI by far is one of the BIGGEST powerhouses around and Jen just hung right wit PATTI....wow AMAZING J HUD
i love Jennifer's voice. She a true "church voice". I think why some people might not like it because it's SO STRONG! But I love a strong voice...there is so much emotion behind it.
Hey outofthisworldgurl, You are dead on-point and 100% right!!!. But you cant explain SOUL music to people who have no SOULS!!!! Its like trying to get oranges from an apple tree. It aint gonna happen. Just Let "them" think its screaming.What comes from the soul reaches those with soul, and JHUd is the best singer since Patti Labelle herself. No need to explain anything to anybody. And I dont even blame arxdeath. He cant control that. LOL!
Jennifer is impossible to falter. Even live she has such fullness and perfection. Standing ovations get harder and harder, and she made it look like a walk in the park. 9.9/10
Jennifer simply takes my takes my breath away, all I can ever say when I hear her sing is just sheer perfection, so many idol stars and other stars today could not compete in a classically trained way and Jennifer would blow anyone else a true hats off to you Jennifer Hudson!!!!!
Jennifer Hudson continues to amaze me with every song...every performance. She is truly one of a kind and I could listen to her forever and ever.If I was ever stranded on a dessert island and allowed to take only one cd for the rest of my living days it would be Jennifers...and i would die a happy man.
they think she's over doing it.. might probably because all the singers that they've listened to aren't that creative as her. and don't have powerful voice....
i watch this almost everyday i get chills everytime...she is one of the greats... She will be one of the ones that stays around like patti and anita baker etc...WHAT AN AMAZING GIFT SHE HAS
This was a dedication..definition of dediction..when you sing a song that an artists has been famous for doing, and Patti blows this song away..so she's not going to sang it like Judy Garland, or Beyonce or Leona..like a lullaby..Patti puts it all into this song...youtube Patti doing this song and youll see that. Im sure if Jennifer did her own version it would be incredible though.
Patti's just having a great time here. I can't stop posting about this amazing song! Jennifer's voice sounds edited heavily in some parts (in a good way) and she can shift many notes at a time.
she isnt over doing it that is her style she has a strong voice i like that in her so what if they do not like they do not have too listen too i am her number 1 fan always.Sing your Heart out girl! some artists have issues of stage fright Jennifer Hudson do not. i know when she is on stage she is at home that is her way of entertaining us Thank You Ms Jennifer Hudson
OMG..I stood up with the people in the audience....lol This gurl tore it up....wOw...speechless. I can't wait to c what she does with the national anthem for the superbowl and the grammy performance...omg
there's no need to compare, they both are pure talented young ladies that can actually sing! unlike most artists in the industry today! i mean there are a few out there that can but there aren't many so please people can we appreciate them for being some of the few real singers that we do have left in today's music!
amazing, what an incredible talent, we don't hear voices like jennifer's anymore. hopefully one day we will be listening to her version to over the rainbow, i would love 2 c that
Awesome. This is pure genius. Jennifer never sounded like this on American Idol. If she did she would have won. She just keeps getting better and better.
its amazing!!!! i was impressed that part she did the scaling tone while singing!!!! amazing!!!!! that was my first time t9i hear a singer uses scaling style of singing amazing!!!!!!!!! no other words to say but AMAZING!!!!!
WOW! I love how she stepped the mega note! Patti swings it like nobody's business, so Jen knew she had to "make it her own." I guess idol's good for a couple of things. LOL
I love how excited is Patti. In comparisson with Aretha. This last one needs to smile a little bit. Patti is the best! she is so lovable, and humble and talented, of course. And Jennifer Hudson is in the top list of singers of the decade. No doubt about it.
Pray for Jennifer, she visited one of her musical influences Delois Barrett Campbell of the Barrett Sisters and she went over the rainbow the next day on August 2, 2011. Jennifer had great musical taste as a little girl, she really learned from the best.
she is such an amazing vocalist. and she gives honor to patti and whitney and all those who came before. she is the heir to the "throne". thank you JHUD.
beyonce and jennifer both have amazing voices!! i cant decide between either of them becuase they both were beautifal and they sang way past extrodinary :D i love u beyonce and jennifer!!!!
