JENNIFER HUDSON COVERS LIFE
Friday, February 16, 2007
And the covers keep on coming…Jennifer is on the front page of this month’s LIFE magazine. These photos, shot by Peggy Sirota, look a heck of a lot better than those Vogue pictures IMO.
In the interview, Jennifer opens up and lets the public know more about herself - speaking on everything from the love of her life, ‘Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’, and her friendship with Jamie Foxx…

Check out more pictures and snippets of the interview at Life.com

Why are you people so angry and hateful? Jennifer is talented, Beyonce is talented, as are many other’s one persons talent does not cancel out anothers. Everyone can live their dreams, but in order to live a dream you have to have a dream. So do you and let others do likewise.

Co-sign with 6, Anika has been completely overlooked. Her voice is beautiful, and she derserves to get shine too.

@ 138- first of all, when was she performing on broadway? that’s never been mentioned so i’d like to know where you got that from.
second, it doesn’t take a genius to realize that bey has had better formal training than jenn. just b/c jenn’s been singing since she was younger means nothing and singing at funeral homes isn’t a big deal either especially when your family owns the home (her family owned that funeral home). i mean i have friends who sing at places but they’ve never actually had formal training and a lot of them have been singing since they were kids too. i’m not saying she has had no training but bey has more money to afford better trainers which is why she decided to be classically-trained while jenn still needs to get a hold of great coaches. imo i think jenn, who has a 5-octave range while bey has a 4 octave range, has more raw talent

Jennifer is going to win that oscar. The angles the photographer used makes her face look unflattering. We all know she takes better pictures.

The pictures are excellent. Good choice for the cover shooter, Peggy Sirota is definitely one of my favorites. Life Magazine is a big accomplishment. For those who don’t know, please do your research. This just proves that talent and heart matter in the end. God Bless J-Hud.

Agreed. But thats why i like this site, cause we all dont have to agree, if we did, this site would not be interesting at all, and i doubt if we’d all be on here everyday just to read all the different posts that are saying basically the same thing.
You have a good weekend too. Till next post…

Please stop hating on J-Hud. She hasn’t hurt anyone. She deserves her current and future success. Just be happy for her! She can SANG and she acted the hell out of that DreamGirls role. You act as if she should be turning down her accolades! Don’t be ridiculous. This is only the beginning. She is going all the way. She is not trying to take Beyonce or anyone else’s shine. She is just trying to make a name for herself.
Hating is not cute and only makes you look jealous and adolescent. Get over it!

Who cares about what white people think about J-Hud? It is great that they are accepting of her, but I think African-Americans acceptance of her means more. Or better yet, why can’t all races be accepting of and like J-Hud? We want her to have cross-over appeal, but white people don’t neccessarily have the power to make or break you. People in general do. It is best to leave race out of this post.

j-hud is good at what she does and so is beyonce, lets face it, they on two different levels; beyonce is old to the game and hud is a new artist. its nice to see fresh new “Talent” that the industry has been lacking. dont question huds longevity b/c everybody’s been tested at one point evn beyonces credibility was on the borderline b/c its unforseen. beyonce started out slowly but beyonce fame will run out quick soon enough like the rest of the vets. i think yall bey stans cant stand to someone else gets the shine, so yall talk to much dirt bout the “protagonist”. why cant yall embrace each other? yall hate soooo much just to make someone else make it. the thing is it dont matter how much accomplishments you had, but the impact you made on somebody life. forreal MLK dream is dirt when i look at the world today..

It’s getting very blatant and transparent what this chic is being used for. No disrespect to anyone who “idolizes” her, but it’s getting very obvious. It will be interesting to see how her career develops and how much they will use and manipulate her.

NOT KNOCKING JENNIFER BUT DON’T RUN TO LOCAL BOOKSTORE LOOKING FOR JENNIFER TO BE ON THE COVER OF LIFE MAGAZINE, THIS IS A PERIODICAL THAT COMES IN THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER, IT WAS IN FRIDAY’S NEWSPAPER. IT’S A WEEKEND PERIODICAL. WE ALL HAVE A DIIFERENT OPINION ON LIKES AND DISLIKES, WITH THAT SAID FANTASIA CAN SING BETTER THAN JENNIFER, ASK ANYONE WHO WATCHED AI TO NAME A SONG THAT JENNIFER SONG,THEN ASK ABOUT A SONG THAT FANTASIA SUNG, TO THIS DAY NOBODY CAN TOP FANTASIA RENDITION OF “SUMMERTIME” THERE WAS NO RIFTING, HOLLERING OR SREAMING JUST A SONG SONG BEAUTIFULLY!

I wish Jennifer well, but why ya’ll got to to hate on Fantasia? What does she have to with Jenny’s pictures? AI3 happened 3 years ago, Fantasia won so get over it please. They are friends so why are you bickering about who is better than who. Also Fantasia’s light is not dimmed she will be starring in the The Color Purple play and is up for a role in Aretha Fanklin’s upcoing play both Fantasia and Jenny are succeding so please stop the comparing. And uhm whoever said Fantasia screams needs to go watch her performance of “o, Summertime”. They both have thier own styles so please let them be individuals.

I am glad J-Hud is doing good. She does sing better than Fantsaia. It was her look that kept her from winning. Look at her now she lost a lot of weight and doing good. She palayed that role good in Dreamgirls.She deserves every bit of her fame right now.

Jennifer Hudson’s face is so adorable..she’s pretty and from what i can see she’s not so overly made up that you wouldn’t know who she was without the make up. Plus, she can sing. Her part in Dreamgirls brought tears to my eyes and IMO she was not that far behind Jennifer Holiday.

I am sayoing this for the las time, all this compoaring has got to stop. Now we all know that jennifer Hudson is now bigger than Oprah Winfrey, okay and its obvious that Hollywood know everything and we don’t okay. Now I don’t know what happened on idol, but Fantasia is from a very small southern town and they were poor and not wealthy as Jennifer Hudson has said on her press junkets promoting herself ( i mean dreamgirls, sorry). SO I don’t know what happened Chicago should have kept her in the running. And those of you who thinks she should have won Idol pleas e-mail ot try to contact the 65 million people who were evidently watchin the show and tell them about how moronic they were for voting for Fantasia since it’s obvious that Jennifer Hudson is far greater than Aretha, Patti Labelle, Chaka Khan, Tina Turner, she has been garnished with more awards than anyone. Oh, and since she gave an oscar performance in Dreamgirls, and Eddie Murphy didn’t( I guess he has to pay his dues), well what about Angela Basset when she played Tina Turner, or even Diana Ross whenshe played Billie Holiday in Lady Sings the Blues, some of you may be too young to remember that, and even Waiting to Exhale it tore the box office up, and all those women did a bang up job. I guess the rest ot he sisters who are actors better leave Hollywood, because it’s obvious from all the magazine exposure their is no one else in Hollywood who can cat or who deserves exposure her greatness has arrived. Oh and not otmention since sh has won an Oscar she is now able to get married before she wasn’t. Well Ms. Hudson I am going to put my money where my mouth is, I will not be going to any of yur movies you are the Winged Creature, and I am not buying your cd, your janitor fiancee will have to come up with his own money, okay. It is obvious you are in this for one reason and it is not a love for the work, but ii is for your personal fame and fortune and the song you did with Ne-Yo was to build yourself, because I’m sorry to burst your bubble you do not have the greatest voice in the world and what you did on Oscar night with Beyonce reminded me what did during an Idol performance when Fantasia was singing you tried to embarass her, and you got reprimanded for it by the producers. One thing about Fantasia she is humble and has a great attitude she may not sing as loud as you, but she does have her own style and its ironic she alwyas says the nicest things about you, but I’ve not once heard you compliment her or anyone else for that matter. Her cast members have the upmost respect for her and speak very highly of her character, Fantasia mya not be the best singer in the world but you young people may not know this your gift may get you there but it is your character that will Keep you and allow you to go further. I don’t know what happen this year with the Oscars etc., maybe the fact that JHud dressses like the black Anna Nicole and wears those tight dresses and displays her boobs, and we know the white boys like that,and she has the Anna Nicole kiss down,she has got it going on you guys may as well admit it. When you surpass Oprah Winfrey then you know, everyone else must go home because Her Highness has arrived, all the other actresses and singers may as well pack it up becaus even from this thread you have dumbed her greater than all, maybe even God??????

committed to truth
Thursday, May 3, 2007 /
You guys I went to see Fantasia in the CLor Purple in New Yor, and I am sayaing that to sat this. Upon seeing her in the play and to see her doing such an amazing job, right then I cried and I promised God and myself I am no longer going to buy inot anymore of the media hype. Fantasia as well as others may not be the shooting star that Jennifer Hudson is but there are many rising stars which Fantasia happens to be> I’m a little older than maybe some of you but I am going to stick with the rising stars. I don’t now what’s going on, but I agree with #6, if she gave an Oscar performance then we all should be writing the Academy on behalf of all those who did excellent jobs such as Angela Bassett in playing Tina Turner, I even remember Waiting to Exhale when it opened it tore the box office off the the roof amd when Ms. Ross played in Lady Sings the Blues, man awesome work, and these were all done without offending and in truth to the peoplw they portrayed who applauded their work no one wa offended. I guess the rest of the actresses in our community need to pack up and leave Hollywood because her Highness has arrived and they must be finished. Like I said I am staying humble and not believing all of this media hype, and maybe she (JHud) has not recieved anyone to really back her because she knew everything she did to push to win after being nominated and she has gotten blown up bigger than Oprah Winfrey overnight and maybe people may feel she doesn’t need their help, she has already made doesn’t the Oscar say so????? I am sincere when I say she has a beautiful voice, and her acting skills have yet to be judged. Like I said I staying with all the rising stars who have not yet arrived or are as highly acclaimed, they need my support more. I ahve always been one to go for the underdog and I usually let the rabbits run on.

Let's keep it real
Thursday, May 3, 2007 /
FYI For the person who said Fantasia can’t sing someone suggested you look at the Aretha Tribute, well the next day in the LA Time review the writer wrote Fantasia tore the roof off, but I guess you will never see that and because it’s Fantasia concrete loop won’t print that truth, and if I am not mistaken didn’t JHud the Oscar nominee perform on that show as well, he name was not mentioned in review. I saved the article.
By the way Ms. Hudson turned $3 million dollar movie offer because someone else was asked to do a nude?sex scene. Has anybody really looked at these pictures. Ms. goody, goody two shoes, and are those bricks sticking up for props or are they her real live breasts which she often displays when she does he Anna Nicole stand and kiss. She says she is a role model for who. No one likes a hypocrite. The white boys in Hollywood like big breasts, and she knows what sells. you all don’t like Fantasia because of her background, and Hollywood does not like the fact she has a child. Fantasia is talented she is different not the church sound we are use too, we are more use to the Jennifer Hudson syle singing , nightclub, lounge, church hoir lead kind of stuff. No riffing, no scats, no runs. Let me inform you. Fantasia has beeen holding out we haven’t seen her at her best, a lot of you won’t see the play like Dreamgirls due to finances and the play is not in California and has not been bootlegged all you have to reference on is Dreamgirls movie in regards to JHud, Fantasia is doing a awesome job ob the broadway and many of you dogged her out on this thread and said she couldn’t do it and said she was ghetto and illiterate. most of you callled her ugly. I remaber the lase woman that Holywood and a lot of black folks called ugly said she was too ugly for TV and today she is a media mogul and a billionaire. oops. keep believing all this media hype and you guys have built JHud up bigger than that overnight. And yes what about the other girl in the movie she has a tv show and she will in a Disney production, and the reason you didn’t see a lot from her she wasn’t willing to do the suck up to the Hollywood machine white boys like JHud. beyonce didn’t do it either like she said she was already a STAR and she wasn’t willing to do all the stuff JHud did to sel herself. Great PR JHud. Most of the entertainment industry is not stupid. You all keep feeding into the lies about another persons greatness overnight without paying any real dues, and what gets me she is a saint. Has never ever masde a mistake and can do no wrong.
