Jennifer Hudson is definitely riding this new shooting star to fame. Word is she recieved a standing ovation right in the middle of the premiere screening of Dreamgirls. Eurweb reports that the whole crowd was teary-eyed after she performed the insanely popular “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going.” Word is Beyonce had already left the theater and hopped on a private jet to be with her boo.
Our girl is now gracing the cover of the popular LGBT magazine, The Advocate. In this issue she talks about meeting Whitney Houston for the first time, the Academy Awards and more… You know we have a snippet for you after the jump..
“I met Whitney last night,” Jennifer Hudson tells me, wide-eyed. “I was just sitting there and she came up and she waved at me and said, ‘You’re the one! You! Are! The One!’ And I was just stunned. I even forgot to get up.”What Hudson is leaving out of this story, one she’s telling me over breakfast at the Beverly Hilton hotel, is why Whitney Houston approached the 25-year-old star of the upcoming film Dreamgirls. The night before, Hudson had appeared at the Carousel of Hope, an annual Beverly Hills benefit for children with diabetes, spearheaded by socialite Barbara Davis. Hudson performed the song “I Am Changing” from the movie and by all accounts blew the roof off the place, causing the assembled famous—Warren Beatty and Annette Bening, Teri Hatcher, Sharon Stone, Jay Leno, Halle Berry—to go a little nuts. Houston reportedly leaped from her seat, screaming Hudson’s praises. This is the kind of thing you expect to hear about a singer who’s just won American Idol and is still in the first blush of that show’s mania, not about a former Idol contestant who came in seventh three seasons back.

I like her success but I heard a recent interview in which she sounded too complacent. She kinda got on my nerves then.
As for #105, the definition of ignorance is not knowing, you stupid fool. I know that Beyonce was quoted bragging about having 9 grammies. So what! A lot of real talents have been cheated out of grammies and other awards for more popular but less talented, like Beyonce. Groupies like you never look for real talent. You are just a “gopher” who goes for what you are told to go for. You have your weak ass opinion and I have mine. So, go kiss a toilet seat in the Houston Texas Greyhound bus station.
Uh Oh….

And, lacefronts are NOT our friends:
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
People are straight trippin! Why is it that people feel the media is pitting beyonce against J. Hudd! Why can’t it legitimately be that people feel J. Hudd is a real talent and find that REFRESHING in this world full of bleached out fake talent! J. Hudd is a real girl, with natural beauty and legitimate unadulterated talent! She’s a natural looking woman with singing abilities that rival the greats. On top of that, nobody knew this chick could ACT.
Hollywood is always going to be hollywood, and hollywood is routing for Beyonce, damn, read the articles people. They are saying even though J. Hudd is the obvious breakout talent in the film, the studio is still trying to push Beyonce because of hollywood standards (smaller in stature and more european features with the blonde hair and all). But the studios cannot control the reaction from the people/public, and the public is saying J. Hudd is a star!
People didnt say this shit when Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera were out and hot. You didn’t hear white people saying, oh, let’s not fall into this, they are pitting one white girl against the other. And you’ve gotta be kidding. PEOPLE ARE TRIPPIN, ALL THESE DAMN CONSPIRACIES ARE HATCHED TO BRING DOWN BEYONCE?!!! OR CAN IT JUST BE THAT PEOPLE FEEL BEYONCE STRAIGHT GOT HER ASS KICKED IN THE ACTING AND SINGING CATEGORY IN THIS FILM, WHILE SHE WAS WALKING AROUND THINKING SHE WAS THE STAR OF THIS FILM UNTIL THE REVIEWS CAME IN! I think the latter.
I think plain and simple, people find J. Hudd a legitimate talent. They are glad this girl can truly sing and act, and she earned every damn standing ovation. She is being recognized by the greats, not because of her popularity or ass shaking abilities, not because she has a hot song out, not because of who she’s dating, not because of how many hollywood friends she has, none of that bullshit, instead, she’s being recognized for her undiluted talents. I think are just glad there is such a girl out like her; the world is ready for a change.
I’m not trying to take jabs at any other artists or down grade them. There are just a lot of people who are tired of marketing and hype bullshit, and perhaps are scared to speak up, even in hollywood, cause some of these entertainers become bigger than life, and if you comment “supposedly negatively” againts them, then people call you a hater. I think the reaction to J. Hudd is one of genuineness. J. Hudd is ushering in a new level of talent, and in a few years, gone will be the bullshit, gimmick artist. And to that, i say so long…..
I feel like pasting today….

@newnubianempress
Okay, cut it out with the pasting unrelated topics. I feel what you’re trying to do, but seriously, i don’t think people are that hype on here that we need a diversion. It’s just all conversation, everyone seems calm but you, with all that damn cutting and pasting…..stop it.
@ JSCENE— I dont cut & paste….I copy and paste…and really, this subject is getting overworked and BORING!!!!!!!!!!!
nobody gives a fuck about beyaki and its obvious that J-Hud is going to fall b4 she can begin to rise…there’s too much buzz around her.
Also, guess u didnt read the NBR article I pasted above b/c the movie isnt even slated to be one of the top 10 of this year…
and in here, its never jusst conversation….it’s the yay-sayers against the nay-sayers all vs. the wanna-be-neutralists.
Im calm…Im very calm…Im not the least bit worked out….and if u dont wanna read the links, then don’t…when u see KITA bka or NewNubianEmpress, just scroll past my dumbass COPY & paste posts…
@newnubianempress
Please calm down child. If you feel everyone is getting worked up to the point where you feel you have to start copying and pasting unrelated topics, then just click out of this site and take yourself to another subject. Really simple. Like i said, feel what you were tryin to do, but i really wasn’t necessary cause the only excited person seemed to be you. Everyone else just speaking their peace.
This girl has arrived. You know that when Whitney Houston tells you! You are the One! Go Jennifer make your dreams come true, and do wonders with that voice god has blessed you with.
You Beyonce fans make me so sick. You feel the need to bring her up in EVERY post. The article wasn’t even about her, but about Jennifer. Unless Beyonce is sending you all checks for hyping her up, shut the hell up and stick to the articles that are actually about her. JHud is very talented and deserves a board dedicated to her. If you don’t like it go to a Beyonce board. Damn! And to #6 and those that agree with #6, you’re just idiots.
The very first mention of Beyonce in this thread was in post #2 — obviously NOT a Beyonce fan. LOL.
MOST of the JHud posts that do mention Beyonce do so by saying something derogatory about her in relation to Jennifer. It’s not enough to just give JHud her props. People just can’t help themselves. Some posters in this thread didn’t even bother to mention Jennifer at all, and this is a thread about her!
Again, this type of “support” doesn’t help Jen one bit. There is already a backlash against Jen due to some comments she made that are being twised by the same old gossip-mongers and bloggers that start rumors about Beyonce and others.
She better buckle her seat belt because it’s going to be a bumpy ride.
CONGRATES jENNIFER!!!!!!! SHES AREALLY GREAT SINGER TOO.
Girl can Blow!! I heard her version of “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going” and I kept rewinding her her notes. Whoo, go Jennifer, can’t wait to hear her 1st single.
Nice to finally see a Sista Sista getting her time in the spotlight. Go Jen!
Im sorry guyz but Beyonce can not act…let’s be truthful with ourselves. So is it so hard to believe that someone is actually getting more attention than her?
There is a thin line between hating and just flat out telling the truth…it seems to me that alot of people have that confused.
How do you guys no J Hudd can act???? Anyone seen the movie yet??? I thought not …so we dont know if she’s any better at acting then Beyonce. Please let’s just enjoy the fact that black people are in a flick that’s getting major buzz!!!
Was I the only one who watched 106th and Park with Beyonce on there saying she doesn’t like anyone calling her “B”, “Bey”, you get the picture….unless she knows them personally? Last time I checked I’m the one buying her clothes, c.d.’s ect… fans like me are the reason she even has money, but she says I can’t call her “B” cause she doesn’t know me?!?!
Don’t bite the hand that feeds you BEYONCE, I will drive downtown to Webster drive and return all that House of Dereon crap I bought and drive right to the Galleria and hit up Lady L (Letoya Luckett store) and buy the place up!
Before I get my head bit off the above comment was not serious..lol
@ Peaches
I never said that J Hud could act…but I have seen how poorly Beyonce does act so it is not hard to believe that someone might shine more than her in a movie…Hell I like Anika Rose better than all of them anyway..lol
~*YOU GUYS…. HOW ABOUT ON A JHUD POST….. we talk about JHUD…. and on a beyonce post… we talk about beyonce…. K?… K
The JHUD hateration has officially begin. WooooooooooooooW
#117 Well said, that’s why black people will never go far because we dont support each other. Stop bringing each other down. Most of you dont feel good about yourselves so you put others down to make yourself feel better. Grow up!!! Beyonce, Jennifer and Anika are happy. You all are hiding behind your pc’s leading pathetic lives that are’nt going anywhere. NONE OF THIS IS GOOD FOR YOUR SPIRIT, IT’S THE HOLIDAYS GO FEED THE HOMELESS, OR JUST DO SOMETHING GOOD FOR A CHANGE.
For Zudior or whatever your name, I wont stoop your level and call you out of your name. For that would be foolish on my behalf and I dont have energy to waste over somebody I cant see on the internet. Im no groupie because I appreciate both ladies talents and wont go by what I hear in the media. I didnt read or hear Beyonce say herself. Unlike you who slander another person’s name just so you could one-up another person. Your incompetence is what bothers me. See you didnt understand what I said in #105, You could have voiced your opinion with sounding ignorant.Why must you call her bitch? Is she that terrible? Were you one of the dc members that were forgotten? who knows but all Im saying instead tearing one of the ladies down while trying to uplift another we should support them both and stop with all the animosity. As you can see I voiced my opinion with out stooping to your level. Im guessing you more older than me to but yet I came out as more mature. Any way smooches darling!!!
Love,Peace,&&Honeyy
OMG you guys are wayyyy too serious about this. Holy sh!t.
Good luck to JHud. She will def. need it.
# 124 hit it right on the head! Took the words right out of my mouth!
Thank you so much!
One word ………. PRECIOUS !!!!!!!!!
I saw this film at a pre-screening last month in Atlanta. All I have to say is Jennifer Hudson is a STAR in my book. To come in on your first screen debut and outshine all those big names is just amazing. She really did make the quote on quote stars look like amateurs (trust me). Everyone that was cast in this movie did GREAT!! But when Jennifer Hudson opens her mouth in this movie she commands that you listen. And i aint even going to start talking about her SINGING. This bitch got a VOICE out of this world. She is by no means being overhyped at all, because their is nobody out their right now that can come close to fuckin with her voice and thats no joke, (i’m a beyonce fan , and this includes her). She is about to blow up. Just mark my words. She is beyond talented.
Congrats J-Hud!
I agree Beyonce can’t act,I fell alseep on Pink Panther and I vowed to never pay a dime for another one of her movies.
I think that it’s highly possible for Jennifer to have a successful career.
I mean, who says that you have to be the skinny, sex symbol in order to get a meaningful role in Hollywood?
And as far as her singing career goes, she has to be allowed to let her talent shine through.
If those people over at J Records try to make her a carbon copy of somebody else, then yeah, she’s done, because it’s not about being somebody else.
But, if they put the real time into finding her true style, then she’ll be fine.
As for the media, their only job is to jump on the bandwagon.
So, once their attention spans start to fade, I still think that there will be enough real people who’ll feel like Jennifer is valid enough to be in the entertainment industry.
Very happy for J-HuD. I think that she is fine just the way she is. If she lost 40 lbs I would be thinking…who is she trying to be?
When I heard that Bey said something about it would have been hard for her to gain 20 lbs or something like that, I did kind of think what does she mean by that?
#124 You are preaching! I like how you put it..”ushering in a NEW LEVEL of talent” well said. I don’t think I have to say much b/c you said it all.
You can tell when a bey fan is commenting…’Let’s just support both of them. Both of them are good. Both, Both, Both’. They’re trying to keep the black race down’. LOL. So if we say we like J-HuD that means we’re dissing bey? That’s crazy.
I like how the Dreamgirls commercials are now advertising J-HuDs voice. I honestly get chills when she is going for that…’you’re gonna love MEEEEEEE!’ LOL.
@155 you made a really good point. We all know that Alicia Keys turned down a record deal b/c they were trying to give her an image that wasn’t true to herself.
JHuD has a VERY bright future. If the world was full of shallow morons then maybe she wouldn’t have a chance. There are enough intelligent ppl that will support her b/c the girl can SANG and she seems to be a very likable person.
Give Jennifer a few years in the biz and you cut throat mofo’s will be downing her too.
I love both JHUD and BEE, I just wish that people would stop with the comparison already. Beyonce is an outstandig performer and Jennifer is and amazing vocalist(and actress).
I do agree that JHUD should lose weight but not too much, she should really keep her cuurves; A.KEYS and old BEE are the perfect exemples. She should lose about 15 pounds. A size 8 would be fine. The music business is a harsh industry, like it or not, image sells more than talent. And I would hate to see Jennifer lose out on a great career just because she doesnt want to conform…
correction
*outstanding*
Bottom line Beyonce is overrated (as I’ve said on numerous occassions) she’s lightskin (not real light but light enough for Hollywood) and she’s dating Jay-Z I don’t see any other thing that she has going for her. She doesn’t sound bad when she sings but damnit she’s no Jennifer Hudson no matter how much she hollers and screams. Beyonce has no soul in her voice it sounds like she’s whining at times and she’s trying to control her voice but she goes over board. Jennifer has a talent not too many have. She moves you when she sings. You can feel her and what she’s singing about. Beyonce will feel a little envious even though she’s a star (for the life of me I don’t know why) because she is used to getting all the attention. Even though Latoya and Latavia were both pretty in my opinion God help Kelly she is pathetic her and Michele! But Beyonce had to get rid of the ones drawing attention besides her in the group and she got rid of Farrah who I must say is a beautiful woman. So Jennifer is nice looking but her vioce stands out among the rest and Beyonce ain’t feeling that shit. She’s used to her parents giving her whatever she wants that bitch never had to struggle or want for anything. You can tell with Jennifer she’s been through some things her voice is amazing. I wish her the best and is and will remain on my top favorite singers list she’s one of a kind!
Beyonce needs to know she is overrated. White folks like her so she has it made but she’ll never be on a Whitney Houston status. Everybody and their momma loves Whitney either on crack or off!
And I can’t see Dreamgirls Beyonce’s acting skills fucks it up for me. I know she’s playing a Diana Ross back-stabbing role and that makes it even worse b/c she’s that way for real. So “GO JEN”!!!!!!!!!!!
Beyonce will persevering and winding up on top!!! Also, hater get your fact straights she sat through the movie, but she just didn’t stay for the after parties to celebrate her boyfriend’s birthday. Some people always try to find a problem with what she does although it’s common for actors and actresses not to sit through their own premieres. She did at least stay for the movie. All hype for ms jennifer hudson, is nothin but the typical quick rise and a fast fall.people don’t realise that she has more to prove, with her first album(hopefully that sees the light of the day) and acting(trems of being versatile)
I hope you all are this serious about your careers/education, otherwise, God help the future of our people.
Yall STANS make me so sick tying to determine ones success. all this she too fat, if she was good howcome she didnt win idol, she hasnt proven herself, she’s a quick rise,fast fall like Holiday. yall just scared that Jenn might be the new “it” girl. with all this she to fat she wont make it in Hollywood well have yall forgotten about Queen Latifah look at all what she accomplished with tv,movies, music, being a covergirl model, oscar nod and alot more. queen had “youre not go stop me” attitude and if Jenn have the same attitude and the right ppl behide her she will go far. Jenn is very talented she showed us a whole other side to her that we didnt see on idol. who needs idol when you can have oscar. now which one sounds better Academy Award Winner Jennifer Hudson or American Idol Jennifer Hudson you be the judge. Beyonce and her stans need to sit your ass down cuase this will be the first of many so she better get use to it.oh yeah,Jenn looks great.

Sorry about the repeat.
I found an old video of JHUD singing a beautiful song,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vf2mcINQJgA
Enjoy!
So many people are jealous of Jennifer that they will make ridiculous rumors to feel better about themselves. It is sorry that we cannot love both of thses beautiful women without finding something to hurt them. People are looking for the tiniest flaw and will blow it out of proportion.
EWWWWW jennifer hudson is a fat ass bitch
I Love the photo’s they have Jennifer looking very curvy and sexy. I known Beyonce, Eddie and Jamie Foxx is very happy for their little sister. I know being able to work with and learn from them all at the same time was such a blessing for her.
Her performance was so great, it was beleiveable and powerful, oh yes, yes, she performed like a pro and the whole world saw it and agreed!!.
To #6 who said this”Jennifer is too fat to ever get any real attention in movies or music.It may seem like they feeling her but they not, they just using her to snub Bee”. we need to be happy to see a woman that don’t have to show her butt make it. she is making it on her voice not her look some people can’t stop kissing beyonce butt to see that. ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS STEP OUT OF THE BOX AND OPENING YOUR EYES AND READ HOW THEM OTHER PEOPLE SEE US WE HAVE GOT TO HOLD EACH OTHER UP
READ THIS
BLACK PEOPLE, PLEASE, READ & HEED. POIGNANT.
The sad thing about this article is that the essence of it is true. The
truth hurts. I just hope this sets more Black people in motion towards
making real progress. Chris Rock, a Black comedian, even joked that
Blacks don’t read.
Help prove them wrong! Read and pass on.
Please Note:
For those of you who heard it, this is the article Dee Lee was reading
this morning on a New York radio station. For those of you who didn’t
hear it, this is very deep. This is a heavy piece and a Caucasian wrote

THEY ARE STILL OUR SLAVES We can continue to reap profits from the
Blacks without the effort of physical slavery Look at the current
methods of containment that they use on themselves: IGNORANCE, GREED,
and SELFISHNESS.
Their IGNORANCE is the primary weapon of containment. A great man once
said, “The best way to hide something from Black people is to put it in
a book.” We now live in the Information Age. They have gained the
opportunity to read any book on any subject through the efforts of their
fight for freedom, yet they refuse to read. There are numerous books
readily available at Borders, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon.com, not to
mention their own Black Bookstores that provide solid blueprints to
reach economic equality (which should have been their fight all along),
but few read consistently, if at all.
GREED is another powerful weapon of containment. Blacks, since the
abolition of slavery, have had large amounts of money at their disposal.
Last year they spent 10 billion dollars during Christmas, out of their
450 billion dollars in total yearly income (2.22%).
Any of us can use them as our target market, for any business venture
we care to dream up, no matter how outlandish, they will buy into it.
Being primarily a consumer people, they function totally by greed. They
continually want more, with little thought for saving or investing.
They would rather buy some new sneaker than invest in starting a
business. Some even neglect their children to have the latest Tommy or FUBU, And
they still think that having a Mercedes, and a big house gives them
“Status” or that they have achieved their Dream.
They are fools! The vast majority of their people are still in poverty
because their greed holds them back from collectively making better
communities.
With the help of BET, and the rest of their black media that often
broadcasts destructive images into their own homes, we will continue to
see huge profits like those of Tommy and Nike. (Tommy Hilfiger has even
jeered them, saying he doesn’t want their money, and look at how the
fools spend more with him than ever before!). They’ll continue to show
off to each other while we build solid communities with the profits
from our businesses that we market to them.
SELFISHNESS, ingrained in their minds through slavery, is one of the
major ways we can continue to contain them. One of their own, Dubois
said that there was an innate division in their culture. A “Talented
Tenth” he called it. He was correct in his deduction that there are
segments of their culture that has achieved some “form” of success.
However, that segment missed the fullness of his work. They didn’t read
that the “Talented Tenth” was then responsible to aid The Non-Talented
Ninety Percent in achieving a better life. Instead, that segment has
created another class, a Buppie class that looks down on their people
or aids them in a condescending manner. They will never achieve what we
have. Their selfishness does not allow them to be able to work together
on any project or endeavor of substance. When they do get together,
their selfishness lets their egos get in the way of their goal Their
so-called help organizations seem to only want to promote their name
without making any real change in their community.
They are content to sit in conferences and conventions in our hotels,
and talk about what they will do, while they award plaques to the best
speakers, not to the best doers. Is there no end to their selfishness?
They steadfastly refuse to see that TOGETHER EACH ACHIEVES MORE (TEAM)
They do not understand that they are no better than each other because
of what they own, as a matter of fact, most of those Buppies are but
one or two pay checks away from poverty. All of which is under the
control of our pens in our offices and our rooms.
Yes, we will continue to contain them as long as they refuse to read,
continue to buy anything they want, and keep thinking they are “helping”
their communities by paying dues to organizations which do little other
than hold lavish conventions in our hotels. By the way, don’t worry
about any of them reading this letter, remember, ‘THEY DON’T READ!!!!
(Prove them wrong. Please pass this on! After Reading it..)
OPENING YOUR EYES!!
hey jenn i love u so much
