JENNIFER HUDSON COVERS VOGUE

Tuesday, February 13, 2007

JENNIFER HUDSON COVERS VOGUE

I’m sure you’ve all heard the rumor that J.hud was covering Vogue, well here is the proof. 2007’s IT girl, covers the “Power Issue” of the popular fashion magazine, and the photos were taken at the legendary Apollo Theater in Harlem by Annie Leibovitz. I have to give her props for being one of the few “big” girls to cover this magazine, that is definitely a hard feat to accomplish…

BUT….

Why did they pick that photo as the cover? That was messed up! Not one of these pictures are flattering. WTF was Annie Leibovitz smoking that day?

If they would have hired me to shoot her, I would have done it IN FRONT of the Apollo Theatre and freaked it! But let’s be glad she is in the magazine and has the cover!

They better go get Beyonce and redo dat cover, if they wanna sell.

U know they irratate me how they try to advertise us in a unflattering way, now u know that girl takes better pictures than that.. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know they had to be more appealing shots in her photo shoot to choose from and they select the one(s) that make her (& black people as a whole) look not so attractive, when that’s clearly not the case.. They need to stop, cause we have peeped their strategy and it’s getting so old and boring now..

I like it! It’s like she’s mocking all her haters(like #6 DATDUDE)! And it’s the spring edition,so I feel the concept!

Yeah, they could have chosen a better shot. Oh well. Jen is on the cover and considering it’s Vogue, that’s an accomplishment in itself. Good for her!

all ya’ll need to stop being so ridiculous. She looks great on the cover and in the pics. The third one shows her singing portraying what we all know, a great singer. Be proud for her, because it’s obvious this is not a 15-min fame campaign for her. She doin it big and gets much props in my book.

First they put the unflattering pictures. Then, they plaster, “Our biggest spring issue,” on the cover. mmmmm smh. Maybe I’m reading too much into it. Either way, I’m extremely happy for Jennifer and all of her success. I will definitely be buying this one when it comes out!

Actually, I’m glad she got the cover and spread but these pictures are very mediocre…the would have done better taking pictures of her from the red carpet that to publish these… so disappointed.

LMBAO! @ #21, I so agree with #7 the only way we could ever get anything is basically going back to our black minstrel days and staying there. Not I however, America both black and white will give me what I deserve.

Tuesday, February 13, 2007 /

def co-sign w/#7 as well… These have to be the most unflattering pictures that I have ever seen of Jennifer… That picture shouldn’t be on the cover of any magazine none the less Vogue… It is like they tried to find the most unflattering pictures they could to make a mockery of her… How could something that was supposed to be such an honor look like such a disgrace???

Black people stop the friggin complaining and analyzing a magazine cover. If they wanted Beyonce on the cover she would’ve EARNED it honestly and not thru the muscle of her rogue pappy.

Go analyze the Katrina situation, poor education, and lack of health care for our people NOT J Hudson who’s blessed beyond her dreams at the moment. So what it reads our Biggest Cover Ever! Do you really think J Hud cares? Stop complaining about foolishness and got off your arses and complain about what really matters in the community!!!

Go J Hudson! Don’t worry about these fools. They’re gonna love you anyway! Blessings runneth over. The cover is a historical. The first AA female SANGER to grace the cover!

Beyonce can’t have everything, let someone else shine for once. It’s not as if she hasn’t accomplished anything herself. This is Jennifers moment to shine and I am so happy for her. She is beautiful girl, that picture doesn’t show all of her beauty. They half stepped on that.

*I ALSO DEMAND A RE-SHOOT!

I’m happy for her, suprised since most were saying they dont put thick girls on the cover, i agree with most this girl takes a damn good picture, i know they were more flattering pics taken from that shoot, the person the chose those pics need to stop it…

I am real mad about that cover! I’m glad she’s on there, but why do they have her looking like a girl who TELLS people she’s a model and then went out and had her mama’s best friend’s, cousin who has a camera, take some pictures.

They were wrong as hell for that, if ANYBODY knows a beautiful picture, it’s Vogue magazine - and you can’t tell me that with all of beautiful pictures I’ve seen of this girl - even when she wasn’t even TRYING (i.e; on the red carpet) that this is the best photo they found to put on the cover.

I don’t know if I should laugh or cry. I’m happy Vogue featured a full figured woman of color on the cover. Annie doesn’t let people over a size 6 work for her let alone be on the cover of her magazine. Then on the other hand these photo are not very flattering. I am so very disappointed in Vogue choice of photos. They could have done a hell of a lot better then this!!!!

@ 37 I don’t know who told you that lie. The photographer works with the editor(s) to pick the final picture. Not the subject.

I’m disappointed in the cover. It could have been better but I’m happy she got it! So many people here just knew she wouldn’t get it. Nice to see she and Vogue proved them wrong.

I’m not agreeing with the cover so much, but I do like the other two photos. I hope they have more photos of her in the magazine because I want to see more of her. And to the person that said, “Black people stop complaining”…nobody is not complaining…its just that people feel as though that whoever took the photo of her on the cover could of had Hudson pose different. They should of had her do a more sexier pose. And being fans…we have every right to state our opinions. If we don’t like the fucking cover than we don’t like it, but that doesn’t mean we don’t like J-Hud. But regardless of how I feel about the cover, I am still going to support her and buy it. You never know it might have more photos in there. I hope so.

Great feat to get into Vogue! BUT
Why, why did they choose that unflattering pic? I mean my 6 yr old could’ve taken that pic with her Hello Kitty camera. That’s not right.

People keeps asking, “why are yall overanalyzing?” If you think we’re overanalyzing, that’s fine; it’s your opinion, and you’re entitiled to it. The main reason I have problems with these pictures, is that for the first time (in a long time) there’s finally have a young, beautiful, full-figured woman on the cover of a major magazine. Instead of posting glamorous pictures (like they would have done for any other model), they trivialize and almost seem to mock Jennifer’s beauty. Yeah, I know, at least she’s on the cover, but it would have been nice if they could shown Jennifer’s true beauty. Just my opinion guys. Don’t start bashing me.

IM happy for jennifer, BUT this is VOUGE, the shit better pictures than this. im SOOO hurt that they chose these pics, Jennifer can take SOME GOOD as pictures, look at GIANT and VANTITY FAIR hollywood issue. IM SO DISAPPOINTED IN VOGUE, and that last pic was a defiante outtake.

I’m so happy for Jennifer. This is really wonderful. Only a handful of black women have grace the cover of Vogue alone. I don’t think the pictures show her complete beauty, but I’m going to focus on the positive and on the fact that she is doing big things and representing well.

You hit the nail on the head! I was thinking the same thing. They always have black folks with their mouths all open and shit looking bizarre on the cover of magazines that don’t typically have black women on them but will have someone like Nicole Kidman striking a subtle pose…mouth closed and all.

I’m surprised they didn’t do a pic of her standing by a grill cooking chicken or getting her nails done.

~ think JHud is georgous but this aint.I wonderful how it feels to finally get a vogue cover only to have it look like……………well judge for ya self , but at least she got it the only thing I have to say is that I LUV BEYONCE and this is not a take down to jennifer but Beyonce is the best.She would have definitly nailed this shoot !!!!!!!!! But congrats to Jennifer she’s a newcomer to da game ~

Now all she needs is someone to help her speak during her interviews and she will be fine. She is constantly bumbling and babbling on, it makes her come across as being very unsophisticated. I am always a little afraid when she opens her mouth because she has no grace, it is as if she is clueless. She is just a tad rough around the edges.

Neither here nor there in terms of being a fan, but I must say I think it must be hard for Beyonce to work her whole life and in one swoop a Newbie comes along and gets everything Beyonce has worked for. It can’t be easy, but I will say this….I can’t help but feel like while it is true J has lots of talent…..Hollywood is looking for a fresh face. Beyonce just overexposed herself too much and J’s timing was right. Hollywood loves an underdog story, ungly duckling to swan story. I kinda think they are using J for the moment and probably next year around this time, the question will be Jennifer Who? Folks over there are very fickle despite the fact that they are the ones who worship and overexpose you…..they love you love you, next thing you know….you are yesterday’s news. Looks at the chicks from Sex and the City, or shit even Desperate Housewives is losing its appeal (except Eva Longoria for the time being). That’s why you have to ride the wave when you can.

Congratulation to Jennifer for getting to be on the cover, but what were the photographers thinking when they picked the cover picture? You cannot tell me they couldn’t have picked a more flattering picture, and the other picture with her boobs almost exposed is not too flattering either. Her boobs are too big for a dress like that.

66.

I CAN’T BELIEVE IT, but I agree - I know they had better shots. Hell, CL posted better shots; but that’s b/c they only post nice pictures of the artists that they like. *giggles*

Now if they dislike you…………..

I wish they would have gotten a better shot of her preferably one without her mouth opened like that.I still love Jen nonetheless.I hope she stays grounded,I know this is all so overwhelming to her.She got some grit to her she can do it.Go Jen just please do not get caught up in the Hollywood hype and change up on me. Stay focused!

Tuesday, February 13, 2007 /

Y’all can throw stuff at my fonts if you want too, but I think the J-Hud hypoe is overrated. I think it is a result of Beyonce overload and people were just looking for somethingelse to latch onto. I think she hollered her way through the movie and I doubt that I’d want to listen to an entire cd that sounded like that. She’s cool and a departure from the cookie cutter model pretty half crooners that we’re used too, but let’s not get it confused…. Too much of a good thing is stil too much.
Jenny, beware…. they love you today for embracing your curves, but ask Kelly Price…. in a few years you too could be doing gospel plays.

These pictures are god awful. I cannot find one good thing to say about them. With all the picture perfection techniques that they have today, I have to say that Vogue really did Jennifer a disservice with this photo shoot. These pictures are a mess!

@63 I agree….J-HUd is being set up! But good for her that she is on the cover! I guess. I am sure the article will be about her being a Dreamgirl, like she was the oringinal one or something. Got damn, the dreamgirl ROLE is going to far! Where is the CD?

74.

Ms T.

Tuesday, February 13, 2007 /

I think the pictures are very editorial. Leibovitz is known for taking very advant garde photos, so I wouldn’t expect it to look like your average glamour shot.
I think it is fantastic that a curvy beautiful black woman is on the cover and the picture to me captures Hudson’s larger than life personality.

75.

Tuesday, February 13, 2007 /

I am so thrilled she got the cover. Actually i read that she is the 3rd African American to grace the cover of the mag. I LOVE it, and to top it off she is not a size 2, loves it! Great Job Jennifer.
