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

C’mon now, wat the fuck, this chick is a good singer, but not better than Fantasia, dats why she lost, and she is a good actor, but she ain’t no Angela Basset, who by the way, was dope as Tina Turner in dat movie about Tina’s life and she ain’t get all dis.
I don’t get why ppl are so crazy about ole girl, she aight, period. And wat happened to the other girl from Dreamgirls, folk act like she wasn’t even in the movie. Aww well, her time is up, can’t wait to see her again in Soul Plane 2.

She’s not dating Jaime Foxx. Jennifer has had the same boyfriend since high school. She was with him at the premiere and I doubt he’s going anywhere with her current success.

To DATDUDE: The hype is this. She went from nothing to something in a blink of a lazy eye. Not only did she turn in a truthful performance, but the voice. Fantasia can sing, yes. But her accomplishments are dimmed by the light of Jennifer Hudson’s sudden fame.

WOW, she looks GORGEOUS!! Maybe the same people that did this PHOTOSHOOT should have done VOGUES. LOL. Because these pics are FABULOUS….And whocares if she did NOT win AMERICAN IDOL? The CHICK is more then likely about to win an OSCAR. When you have that, who give’s a sh*t about American Idol? Listening to her sing, makes me wonder why she even LOST. What the HELL was up with the VOTING process. LOL. And yeah, she’s NO Angela Bassett, but WHO is? Angela is in a league of her own. So why can’t people just be happy that there is a FRESH face in the business doing BIG things right now. I’m tired of LOOKING at the SAME people. It’s time for something NEW, that “something” is JENNIFER. Man, that girl got people already ANGRY at her, and she has not even been FAMOUS for FIVE minutes yet. LOL…SMH, D@MN SHAME.

You know why, Janee. The AmeriKKKan public hates anyone in a size 12 or larger. Even though most of the people that vote are overweight housewives living their dreams in a double-wide.

“You know why, Janee. The AmeriKKKan public hates anyone in a size 12 or larger. Even though most of the people that vote are overweight housewives living their dreams in a double-wide”.
@ TATA,
I feel you. But what about these BLACK FOLK that can’t even support their own race (such as DATDUDE, if they even are BLACK)? That’s a shame. I mean i’m only half-serious when I joke about some of the people in entertainment, but I support them if they are WORTH supporting. It just seems that people would rather support NONSENCE, then something that’s REAL, SMH so SAD. I would rather support someone like JENNIFER HUDSON (whose VOICE could RIVAL some of the GREATEST VOICES we’ve ever heard), then someone like CASSIE (who my three year old NIECE can SING better than). I heard this one RADIO clip, where the D.J’s put Jennifer Hudson on the SPOT and asked her to sing along to ARETHA FRANKLINS “NATURAL WOMAN”, and she KILLED IT. She didn’t even know they were going to ask her to do that, she knew ALL the words and EVERYTHING. I can’t really name ANYONE her age in that business that would have been able to do that, on the SPOT. That’s what SEPERATES her from EVERYONE else.
I’m NOT easily impressed by entertainers these days, but her VOICE blows me away, because NOONE her age can really SAAAANG like her. People can be MAD at the fact that she OUTSHINED the HELL out of everyone in that FILM all they want, but if JENNIFER play’s her cards right, she can REACH LEGENDARY STATUS with that VOICE. It’s funny that you mention her PHYSICAL appearance, how she’s NOT the same size as some of her PEERS, but that’s what I think makes her so special. Jennifer reminds me of the back in the day SINGERS, where all you needed was TALENT. Her VOICE alone will carry her. Not to mention she’s BEAUTIFUL. I wish her all the BEST. Because she is getting all this recognition NATURALLY, and when she started that FILM she wasn’t looking for ANY of this. Yeah, she didn’t WIN American Idol. Why? Because GOD had another plan for her. Which is why she’s more then likely going to be making an acceptance SPEECH come OSCAR night. SHE BETTER WORK!!

There is no doubt that Jennifer can sing.
However, Jennifer’s fame and notoriety has been somewhat of a Cinderella existence. Her success thus far has been the result of direct project collaborations. No investor has taken a risk on Jennifer for a solo project. She was a contestant on the very high profiled television production AMERCAN IDOL. She remade the historic song, AND I AM TELLLING YOU, originally performed by JENNIFER HOLIDAY, already penned as Broadway’s most historical vocal performances. She appeared in the silver screen production of DREAMGIRLS, which featured some of the most prolific black entertainers in the industry ~ EDDIE MURPHY, JAIMIE FOX, BEYONCE, DANNY GLOVER, LORETTA DIVINE, ANIKA NONI ROSE. It is safe to say that Jennifer’s launching tab was picked up by AMERICAN IDOL and DREAMWORKS PICTURES.
The recording industry is shady as hell, we all have seen alot of great talent bottom out way before their time was up. Once the DREAMGIRLS fanfare ends, I hope Jennifer finds sound investors and handlers who are willing to continue to champion her current “rate” of success and fame for “LONG TERM” profitabilty.

I bet if she had a big booty then shed get a lot of attention from black guys. But she probably wouldnt get recognized for an oscar or probably wouldnt be an actress. Cuz actreses dont have big bootys and when i say big i mean like Deelishis BIG!lol. I like her. But i feel bad for that other girl in the movie because she can sing too but aint nobody givin her the time of day. And shes beautiful just like beyonce and jennifer. Thats freakin bull! And it aint fair that no one sees the other girl… look… i dont even know the girls name. The movie might as well been beyonce and jhud playin all the parts as far as I care.

Melle-Mel, You forgot the covers of Giant and Advocate. But yeah, they are really adding up. I like the one where she is laying down, and there is another one where the light is just reflecting off her face in a silouette 40’s type picture, very pretty. Her face on this cover looks slimmer than any others though. Maybe they photoshopped the face a little too much..Go JHud!!

And #17-how rude! She is a lovely average sized woman. And in a world where models are starving themselves to death and our youth are idolizing them-I admire someone who is not afraid to show that she is happy in her own skin. J-Hud is fabulous in my book.

American Idol is a damn joke all they care about is who looks good and can hum a tune. And Fantasia cannot sing better than J-Hud but I DO NOT WANT TO SEE HER ON ANOTHER MAGAZINE COVER! They better not dumb down her voice when her album comes out.

i like her better than fantasia sorry. it’s not that tasia can’t sing, it’s that she doesn’t have as much range. all jenn needs is a good vocal coach and she’s set
i like the pics btw but i still think she needs to lose the weight. no matter what people say, the average woman does not look like that. and just b/c she says she’s a size 12 or whatever doesn’t mean anything b/c hollywood dress sizes run differently than normal ppl’s. i.e. oprah says she’s a 6 but that’s a damn lie b/c my friends are bigger than 6’s and they’re still a lot thinner than oprah
p.s. i saw angela bassett on oprah and the woman is STUNNING. why doesn’t she get as much credit for her beauty as halle berry and all those other women

CL couldn’t wait to put up another JHUD post. I guess someone else was getting to much attention. I dont like these pictures either they are no better than Vogue.
And to you people who said JHUD sounds better than Fantasia you must be out of you minds Fantasia is the truth. JHUD can sing but Fantasia can sang why do you think she won IDOL. Replay that Aretha Tribute and the crowd will tell it all.
FANTASIA IS THE TRUTH.

Not feeling the pictures. Maybe its a good thing that she did not win American Idol because to me it seems that the black winners do not get much exsposure. Look @ Rueben hell Clay Aiken was second and he got more media time than Rueben plus several Grammy’s. It does not bother me to see any black entertainer on a regular basis when they are saying positive things.

JHud is doing the dayum thang. Most beyonce lovers will hate JHud because Bee’s limelight is getting dimmed. Jhud started off as an amateur. and guess what she won a golden globe and guess what else she’s up for an oscar. Yea she may not be the skinniest chick out there but guess what her look aint hindering her success. If Beyonce was the size of JHud guarantee she wouldn’t be as successful as she is. Stop hating on Jhud and give the girl her props. She can act. She can SANG. and now she gracing covers of magazines!

She just better enjoy because let’s keep real the media will hate her next week!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BEYONCE IS A VETERAN IN THE GAME WHEN JHUD CROSSES OVER TO MUSIC AND SHE WINS 10 GRAMMYS, SELL OUT WORLD TOURS 4 TIMES OR MORE, WIN JUST ABOUT EVER MUSIC AWARD THERE IS THEN MAYBE SHE CAN HAVE A PEICE OF THE LIMELIGHT. BUT UNTIL THEN SHE AINT GOT SHIT ON BEYONCE.

Lemme get this straight, J-Hud lost on American Idol right? Then she was put in a movie that will win Oscars, with established veteran actors, did the J. Holiday klassic(very well) and keeps getting compared to Beyonce and Fantasia…. Hmm seem to me that she will be on many more covers, CD covers, covers of old classiks, mag covers, movie billboards and whatever else…. She did it right!

Very bad photoshop, her breast are way bigger than that and her face is rounder than in the pictures. Not very good at all. I wonder what is going to happen after oscar season? Will her fans by her CD? Will she when best new artist? or will she be back to the cruise ships for disney.

I”m not surprised if these H.A.M garbage R&B chicks aint shakin in their stellettos. I mean lets be real, who can hold a candle to J-Hud’s voice in the music industry!

Jennifer is doing her thing right now, don’t act like you wouldn’t do the same if you were in her position. Let the woman do her. To be nominated for an OSCAR at your very first time acting is no joke. Give props where props is due.
We need more positive young Black people to look up to, and when we finally have one more, people wanna bring her down. SMH.

I like these pics much more than the ones in VOGUE. They could have kept the ones with the feather hat, but the rest are nice — she looks fresh, natural, and interesting.
I fear a little bit for JHud because I see a lot of hype behind her. She has become a “story” and that is not a good thing, because once you are no longer that story that the media has made up for you, you are left with what you had before.
I really, really, really hope she has good advisors in her corner.

@75 #86 and anyone else this applies to!
Um, please, you sound stupid. I think it’s a credit that J. Hudd has gotten so much in such a small amount of time. The fact that beyonce has been on the scene for so damn long does not speak to her credit that she didn’t win a golden globe, sag, or an oscar. And you just wait and see when Hudson’s cd come out. She’ll probably win ten grammys on her first cd out the gate, what it took beyonce to gain in her whole damn 10 YEAR CAREER, and i’m sure her concerts will sell out because of the rate of her popularity already WITHOUT THE PRESENCE OF A FUCKIN ALBUM. So make sense, or don’t talk at all. Just cant give this girl no credit. And all this, and the girl didnt have to try so hard, be overtly sexual, shake her ass, stab bitches in the back, and date the “so-called” hottest camel on the market. Sorry, your hate is making her more successful, so keep it up, cause white folks are routing for this girl, and they are sick of beyonces overrated fake lying ass, and we all know when white people are for you, its as good as done, but when all you have is some random black folks loving you and treating you as their hero, cause they got no damn life, you cant take that shit to the bank. You only become hugely famous when you cross over, and this girl is there within only a few months. Fuck your dumb opinions.

P.S. will all the beyonce stans please just stick your head out of her ass a bit so i can slap the shit out of you. Okay, she been on the scene for a minute, but you had to know someone else was coming along. Wait,….dont go slit your wrists yet! She’ll be on the scene for a minute more, but face it, her popularity is dwindling cause her true fake self is coming out. I don’t hate her, but i can see that she’s fake and i loathe fake people. If you are a bitch, just be a bitch, there are plenty of people out here that love bitches. The fact that she tries to pretend to be the worlds biggest sweetheart is fuckin annoying, when she’s the dirtiest backstabbiest (i know this isn’t a word) be-yotch on the scene. But if you gone be that, be that. Stop perpetrating a lie cause it’s damn insulting to the public. That’s why everyone is hell bent on exposing her fake ass.
With Jennifer Hudson, so far, it seems what you see is what you get. She appears genuine and i havent heard anyone saying anything negative about her; no negative gossip coming from multiple sources. But trust, when she starts to be fake, umma toss that bitch too! Sorry, just real talk. But for now, i say more power to her, and good luck. Love her personality!

WHY?

WHY? is success defined only by the “white man” being for you? If you think only black folks are supporting Beyonce, you’re sadly mistaken. i am happy for jennifer, but truth be told, seems these same white folks you referring to could be setting ole girl up.
her competition right now is not Beyonce, beyonce is entertainer, singer, and actress. Right now, jennifer is being recognized for her acting only. and word is, a whole lot of actresses, both black and white aren’t too happy with the shine she is getting, esp. when they have been in the game for so long.
beyonce is the least of her worries. like somebody said, she’s on J records with the likes of alicia keys, monica and whitney. she gotta make one record, let alone a cd.

I don’t know how long Jennifer’s limelight is going to last, but I hope it shines for a very long time. This woman is BAD!! She’s a breath of fresh air in the entertainment industry - she can sing like no other (rare in this day and age) and she’s a beautiful woman. I know she’s enjoying the ride while she can. Say what you want about her weight, but she looks damn good to me. I love these pictures.
The Jen naysayers don’t bother me because no matter who you are, everyone isn’t going to like you, but guess what? She’s laughing all the way to the bank. Go Jen!!!!

I wasn’t trying to be offensive, but let’s be real. A lot of artists know that in order to truly be successful, you have to have what is called “cross-over” appeal and acceptance. And that means that you’re not only the shit among your own race and culture, but you transcend color lines. And we all know the checks get bigger when a artist or actor are accepted not only in the black communities across america, but in the other races communities as well. Sorry, i didn’t make the rules, and sadly, a bigger check and more admiration does define “SUCCESS.”
I didn’t say Beyonce isn’t liked by whites, i said i believe they are growing tired of her and the fact that they immediately accepted Jennifer Hudson has catapulted her into the same realm as beyonce almost overnight. Gives you an idea of how valuable crossover appeal is. Once again, sorry, cant answer the WHY, but it’s the truth and reality. If Jennifer Hudson was only being admired by us black people, she would not be in line for an oscar, i don’t care how good her performance was. And sorry, probably not a golden globe this early, no matter how talented. And a sag, damn, she was recognized and awarded by people who have been in the industry for decades and now these people are her peers. Wow.
As far as your remark about jennifer being accepted only because of her acting is a straight up misquote. When i went to see dreamgirls and after leaving the theatre, white folks had tears in their eyes while raving about this girls voice. So for damn sure she’s being recognized as a amazing VOCALIST. When the cd comes out, then she will have tangibles rewards as far as trophies to prove it, but there is not cd out yet, so all people can do is rave about her vocal skills.
I agree beyonce is the least of her worries; not even in same vocal category as far as i’m concerned. But sadly, she’s pitted against her because i truly believe white people in charge (not all of them of course, some are waiting for one of her skeletons to fall out of closet so they can turn on her legitimately), are sick of beyonce. Whether they truly feel jennifer deserves all the attention and awards, i really truly feel they are sending beyonce and the knowles a message. And now they found a talent that they can use to get their point across.

#106 - the connection between the “Fresh Prince of Bel Air” is this: Jennifer said she first heard “And I am Telling You I’m not Going” when Will Smith lip synced it on a “FPOBL” episode. That’s the reason why she’s mentioning it.

JSCENE you have your opinion. but I disagree. The media will bring you up then drop you down hard. the key is staying in the game. As far as voice on jennifer there are alot of girls that can sing circle around her that aren’t even famous. and for that famous one kelly price voice is bigger and more controled then jennifer anyday. Jennifer had a acting and singing coach on DG too plus editing in the sound room for the movie. When she was on AI she wasn’t that outstanding either. With her funny face making and the cruise liner sound she went out fouth and ending that in 7th place. So as far breath of fresh air pleaseeeeeeee… you need to check out all the neo-soul artist out there.

I agree. The media will bring you up and drop you hard, i so agree. They do it time and time again.
And as far as J. Hudd’s voice. I didn’t say she had the BEST VOICE EVER. But it is refreshing to hear someone with her sound out NOW cause of all the dumb crap out in comparison to her NOW. Tomorrow is a crap shoot and a different story. People that are admiring her a living in the present and the now. And Jennifer Hudson is whats up right now. And i think she has a legitimate right to be there cause the girl is talented. And you mentioned jennifer having a voice coach, well, anyone truly serious about their craft, no matter how good they are at, has had a coach from time to time; even the best actors have gone back and hired coaches for various roles new to them; didn’t make them any less good at what they do or any less credible. I’ve heard beyone has had various coaches, doesnt disacredit her as well. Coaches are simply tools in the industry to get the best possible result.
Jennifer seems so deserving, and like i said before, she didn’t get their backstabbin folks, or no other marketing ploys; she’s just being herself and people are loving and accepting her! I truly admire her cause she don’t look hollywood, yet they are embracing the hell out of her. This is truly a feat! She didn’t even need blonde hair! I’m truly amazed by the reaction. Cause she is talented, but i never said she’s the best out ever and for always. But we all know this type of reaction with her don’t happen everyday for women who look like jennifer cause she represent so many prejudices out: no blonde hair, full figured, on the darker end of the spectrum for blacks, i could go on, trust. So this is just remarkable.
I love neo-soul, i listen to it all the time. But i think you and i will have to disagree to disagree on some things. But i hear what you’re saying.

How did I know that when I woke up this morning that I was going to check this post and there was going to be some NONSENCE. I knew someone was about to bring up B******. LOL. I swear some of that girls STANs makes me SICK to my STOMACH at times, I have NEVER seen no sh*t like ya’ll in my life. LMAO.
Somebody said that JHUDD doesn’t have NOTHING on B******, yeah she does. She has a GOLDEN, SAG, CRITICS CHOICE AWARD, VOGUE COVER and the list is adding more and more on everyday. LOL. And in a few weeks she’ll have an OSCAR on that @SS too. LOL. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate B******, because we need someone up there SHAKIN’ dat @SS, but B****** is an ENTERTAINER/PERFORMER, she’s not a POWERHOUSE VOCALIST. Don’t get me wrong she can SING, but JHUDD can SAAANG, there’s a difference. They are two completely different voices, so COMPARING the two is just IGNANT (not IGNORANT, but IGNANT, LOL). Why can’t BOTH just be SUCCESSFUL? Did ya’ll EXPECT for everyone to want to just look at B****** for the rest of our lives and hers? HELL NAH!! Just like some of these people on here are saying that JHUDD is getting played out already, B****** been played out. I hate to break this to the “SUPA-FANS”, but your girl B****** is starting to get EXPOSED, I continue to wish her the best of luck as well, but I think her BEST DAY’S were left back with “CRAZY in LOVE”. And now it’s time to move on. She’ll always be around, because the “Supa-Fans” will fight to the END to keep her name alive, so don’t worry. LOL.
One last thing, if you people think for ONE minute that B****** does not wish to be in JHUDDS shoes, getting her name called for these ACTING awards, then ya’ll are only fooling your d@mn self. JHUDD is doing what B****** could only WISH to do, get accepted by HOLLYWOOD as a CREDIBLE actress on her FIRST try. People STILL don’t take B****** seriously and this was like her FIFTH try. SMH, and more then likely they won’t. B****** needs to stay her @ss up on that stage SHAKIN’ DAT @SS where she belongs. And leave the IMPORTANT stuff to the women like JHUDD. NUFF said….NEEEEEXXXT!
I swear ya’ll if B****** ever FALLS OFF, they are going to have to put some of her “SPECIAL FANS” on SUICIDE WATCH. LMAO. And you can be MAD and SHOUT out names at me all you want, that NONSENCE doesn’t effect me, my BLOOD PRESSURE (unlike yours) will not rise. And i’ll STILL be FABULOUS, LMAO at you, but non the less being FAB while doing so. Just keepin’ it REAL, try it SOMETIME.

The second picture have her looking like a scared voodoo priestess. And yes, they are better than Vogue, but that is a poor comparison.

TATA…I just don’t get what Jennifer’s success has to do with Fantasia’s light dimming. So her light is dimming because you said so? They are both talented. There is more than enough room for them both.
KRISTEN…It is just a matter of taste. Fantasia IMO has the “IT” factor. She threw it down every time she came on the stage. She was the only one people looked forward to. She is so unpredictable, genuine and talented. I love them both, but in FANTAISIA WILL ALWAYS BE #1 in my book.
SEXXYCHOCALATETAURUS…CLAY AIKEN DID NOT WIN A GRAMMY. Ruben was the only one from that season even nominated for a Grammy. So even though you are correct in that Clay’s sales were better as you know that doesn’t mean the music is better.

@ JSCENE
i agree w/u
and what yous aid about the vocal coaches is so true. ppl think these clebrities dodn’t need to do much work on their voices but surprise surprise they do.
bey had a lot of vocal training and you can tell by the changes in her voice. it wasn’t until she got classical music training that she started gaining more power in her voice. if you compare the young bey to the young aguilera for instance, aguilera had her beat when it came to power cuz xtina sounded like she was already grown when she was like 9 and bey sounded like a child.
same will be true for jenn. come on, she’s had WAYYY LESS TRAINING THAN BEY AND SHE STILL SOUNDS GREAT for the most part. bey has been training since she was a little girl so it took her a long time to get this voice.not putting her achievements down. i love her voice but i’m just stating the facts

Jennifer has been singing since she was a child also. she was on AI then on Disney cruises singing too. so as for saying she had less training than beyonce in crazy. also jennifer was singing for funeral homes before AI too. after AI NOBODY would give jennifer a record deal period. Record companies and not even Clive Davis wanted to sign her. Nothing special about her then. Plus she was on BROADWAY performing and she didn’t win a TONY either are even nominated for one. So the only thing she haven’t done is get real fame under belt but at this rate the public get tired if her album doesn’t come out soon and be good.

Damn I love Beyonce too, but yall need for real,for real, dont bring her up everytime. We get a daily dosage of her everyday. So the comparisons and overkilling of the name could stop. I (OMFG!) agree with Jscene to an extent. Beyonce is a great performer but not a good actress. Sorry but the girl cant do everything. She would keep having to get some serious acting lessons and coaching if she really wanted to shine with the greats. J-Hud was pretty good in DG, so I guess it was safe to say she deserves her Oscar.
*In Damon Wayans voice on My wife & Kids* Howwwweevvveeerr, she could still use some practice. Jennifer in the movie you could see was pretty amateurish. She aint up there yet with the greats either. She has a long path to, you know it,I know and she damn sure knows it. She really is shining now and breaking down barriers. She is an inspiration to all us black women.

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

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

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.
