Perfect video for the song. There was no over singing on the track and no over -re-acting in the video. Great! This sounds great in the club.

Okay Neyo Nice Lyrics. Not Sure About J Hud Though Im Glad She Didnt Over Sing It But Theres Something Missing… That Something Is Emotion A Throw Back Vibe Suppose To Connect Emotionally I M O. And I Felt Nothing. I Felt It In The Lyrics But Was Destracted By J Hud Voice It Was A Bit Mascular.

Typical Neyo composition.
I actually think the song is mediocre, was expecting much more, it will probably grow on me.
J-Hud looks good in the video though.

@ #11 you are sooooo right she did look good and sound awesome I love the song. I swear Ne-yo can really write a song I’m feeling that. Also YESSSSSS Ryan OMG that man there off the chain that don’t make no sense (smile) but overall it’s tight.
GOOD JOB JENNIFER!!!!

J. Hud…
The girl who out sang Beyonce. She will always be remembered.
Anyway,
I was with the video until the white room scene. It was all pretty much downhill from there.
And dude with the dreads is SEXY!!!!! Sexy, can I? Just pardon my manners…he make me go WHOA!!!!!

There is NOTHING “Mascular” about Jennifers vocals, I swear dummy’s make up their own words nowadays.. Jennifer never lacks emotion when she sings, so make up another reason for ur hate. I swear, if she sings too well on a track then people complain that she’s over singing or some dumb sh*t, if she sings it this way then…”It lacks Emotion”.. I’m a fan of great singers, not these weak voiced sex pots out there, stop hating on the real singers and tell your fav singers to step their game up.
Anyway, the song is hot and the video is pretty tight too.

This awesome video has really brought the song to life. Methinks Mizz Hudson has a hit on her hands. She looks GREAT and did a fine job. Kudos to the director for great work and the dude looks HOT! Jennifer just shot a cannonball for the big girls.

This song and video is HOT! I love this track (I listen to it everyday)…..I can’t wait for the remix version! She looks and sounds GREAT, this is just a small taste for what’s in store (trust me)! Wait until you guy’s here Pocketbook feat. Ludacris (next single)…then the competition will surely be SHUT DOWN, because that song is pure FIYAH!
BTW…how the hell is her voice masculine lol?….That is so stupid!

Jennifer looks great. The song is decent. Lyrics remind me of Wynter Gordon’s “Surveillance”. And thanks to Crazy T because I clicked the comments hoping someone could ID the video love interest (LOL). And geez, did Campari sponsor the video? There were more shots of the bottle than Jen in the club scene. Overall, I dig it.

First of all she looked beautiful in the video. The make up , hair and outfits were on point. The song is alright for what it is. The song will have to grow on me. Maybe I’m just tired of Ne Yo songs I don’t know. I’m supporting her album. I’m confident it will have nice production on it. Besides, if we want to be bring real singing back, as so many R&B fans have claimed, then we have to show that through supporting the real singers out here.

The video was average at best, but Jennifer looked fab! Nothing special about the video. Kinda of boring to tell the truth, but she looked great. I think as she progresses in the album it will get better.

Im Not So Invested In An Artist To The Point I Cant See Reality. The Truth Is Her Voice Is Deep In Certain Areas Which Im Sure Was Asked Of Her To Show Versatility Im Just Saying It Didnt Work For Me And Thats Fine She Has To Win Over A Fan Base Not Me. Kudos To Her Singing The Male And Female Part. Again Neyo Did His Job And J Hud Almost Did Hers But No One Not Me Not You Is Perfect. Blog Opinion! Nothing More. Nothing Less.

damn one thing i couldnt take tho was them promoting whatever that drink was..but i guess thats what the industry is doing now that record sales are so low they arent putting a lotta money into big budget videos so what do u do? get a sponsor…hence the promotion of that cocktail ive never heard of before lol

Ok…I didn’t really read everybody’s comments but I just feel liek I needed to say this about these Clive Davis women…..now….first it was Leona Lewis and I kind of brushed it off cause I smelt Whitney & Mariah on her and it was all up in that video…the treatments with the light and such but this video really did it for me…..that last scene where she was walking down the runway…even her outfit was Whitney….the short cut and just the energy I was getting from her was Ms. Houston and I don’t mind it at all to tell you the truth…..I LOVE this song…it’s s guilty pleasure of mine to listen to on the radio but I’m “excited” to see what else she brings…I just hope they don’t commercialize her too much…oh oh and one more thing….am I the only one ready for Jazmine Sullivan?

I have always loved the composition of Neyo’s music and everything he writes for other people. He reminds me of a young version of Quincy Jones and people use to complain about Quincy Jones forever writing love ballads and peaceful songs….see where it got him and the artists he wrote for?
Anyways JHud looks great and nobody can deny that. I’m glad she’s not taking her clothes all off either. To me I don’t need the video to like her because her voice is incredible. It is very controlled and sounds symphonic unlike many of the singers nowadays yelling or moaning a whole song. Go JHud you got my support!

This is going to be very interesting to see what J Records does. 2 vocal divas about to duke it out. JENNIFER HUSON v. JAZMINE SULLIVAN. Only ONE will be the champion and the numbers will determine that. Get ready to RUMBLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What the hell is this? bad video, bad song, too much make-up, bad wardrobe…everything is FLAWED!…and this is the girl people said was better than Beyonce just because she couldn’t stop shouting in that dreamgirls movie? Sad!
Neyo efffed her up with that crappy song and so did her stylist!

NOW I DONT ACTUALLY THINK JENNIFER IS THE BEST SINGER , I THINK THAT SHE DOESNT INFLUX HER EMOTIONS ENOUGH (GOING LOW, CRESCENDO, HIGH NOTES), BUT SHE CAN SING WELL ENOUGH TO DRAW ME INTO THIS VIDEO! I ACTUALLY DIDNT LIKE THE SONG UPON FIRST HEARING IT BUT WITH THE VIDEO I LIKED IT! SHE SOUNDED GREAT AND HER ACTING SKILLS HAVE TRULY GROWN EVEN FROM DREAMGIRLS!
SO PROUD OF YOU GIRL i WOULD REALLY VOTE THIS VIDEO UP ON BET!!!
YOU LOOKED GORGEOUS JUST STAY IN THE GYM !
AND MOVE FROM CHICAGO, LOL, THAT CITY IS TOO DEPRESSING AND YOULL NEVER REALLY GET TO YOUR FITNESS GOAL LIVING THERE

Gone ‘head, J Hudd! She is working in that video and I like the song. After the first listen it started to grow on me. I feel like she couldn’t come too too strong because her voice is so freaking stupendous. She had to lean back a little bit on her first single. Don’t worry. I bet she is coming with some serious vocal acrobats on the next single. For now, love it and the video is hot.

The mark of a good songwriter is the ability to convince us that the artist wrote and actually experienced what they are singing ala Janelle Monae when she sings “smile”, she looses her voice and f*cking cries - I feel that - but she didn’t write it - that song “means” something to her other than possible sales.
That is not what happened here. This is a Neyo song, with JHud overdubs. Boring video and song. His style and music selection sound too similar and usually overpower the artist singing it, like I’m hearing the same song over and over, with different singers on it within the same year or month even.
85.

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 /
@ MOFO #84
Well put. I wasn’t sure what the problem was, but no i know. But Neyo is great song writer, it’s just J hud is a novice performer, and doesn’t know how to evoke emotion without 6 months of preparation.

Her outfits were the best i’ve ever seen her in…she looked young cute and fresh….Overall, i love the whole thing. Good job. The song gone be a hit cause it’s so catchy…i can’t stop singing since i heard it on the radio yesterday…i didn’t even know she had a video for the song.

You gotta give it to Jhud, she is living her dream and the dream is besically living with her. I mean how many ppl can get the chance she has with singing and movies? I already seen what some wrote bout her “voice” but how many of these non-singing asses can touch her voice? All im saying is if these non-talented asses can sell then i bet she can to. Real talent is what we need. I loooooooove the song n the video is great damn the dude is fyneeee.
Good Luck Jhud and girl you got my support.

I’ve never been a huge fan of J. Hud’s voice since she was on American Idol…yes I can acknowledge that she can sing…but something about her voice and overall stage presence reaaly irked me…but with that being said…I really do like this song…I don’t know if it’s because Ne-Yo wrote it…which I didn’t know that until today…but I really like Ne-Yo’s music so maybe that’s why…or maybe her style of singing was a little toned down so it made for a really nice feel good song…and I thought she looked beautiful in the video…they could have toned down the makeup just a bit…but she looks like she’s been working out as well…Great Job J Hud.

I agree sound like W.H. and didn’t like video, remind me of dreamgirl at the
end, and Jennifer angry act she put on. If she could she would be shouting
clothes to tight. Didn’t like the ears between the hair made me think of the little
green man and no emotion, But look just to W. H. not in size

I have always been trying to ask everthing about her as I could.
People say she is a member of a celeb club
【W e a l t h y L o v e s.com】
I once was there and met my rich girlfriend.
It’s a place to meet the rich and celebrities.

People people people—— I just got to the end of the comments and I have my tv on MTV MUSIC VIDEOS…….I was shaking my head thinking this girl is talented and gifted with her singing & acting in my opinion. I am a huge fan of hers but the song had to grow on me. I heard it awhile back. I listened to it many many times so it grew on me an I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee that freaking song. Anywhos lol as I was coming to the end of the comments, my girl JHUD song SPOTLIGHT comes on. So for everyone that has an opinion negative or positive——it very important to remember each of us has a profession that someone complains about. Yet, we still get up and go to our prospective place of emplyment to do our job. Everyone has to start from somewhere. Acting & singing is what she does but its not who she is. Hopefully she’ll have more & more loyal supporters that will acknowledge her true gift. Because she doesnt want to be in your SPOTLIGHT BEYATCHHHHHHHH

Now that ITS OFF MY CHEST———JHUD, I PRAY THE STARS SHINE SO BRIGHT & LEAD YOU INTO THIS INDUSTRY YOU SO CHOSEN. MAYBE ITS YOUR DESTINY BUT ONLY OUR TRUE LORD & SAVIOR KNOWS FOR CERTAIN. NOT ANY OF US KNOW YOU, YET EACH OF US HAS AN OPINION ABOUT YOU. YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG BLACK WOMAN THAT SEEMS TO HAVE HER HEAD ON STRAIGHT. YOU’ MAY ENCOUNTER HEARTACHE ALONG WAY THE BECAUSE NOT EVERYONE IS HAPPY FOR YOUR ACCOMPOLISHMENTS. YOU GAVE YOUR ACCEPTANCE SPEECH AS YOU ACCEPTED YOUR OSCAR (that you earned I may add) & IT BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES. YOU SO ELOQUENTLY SAID “SEE WHAT GOD CAN DO FOR YOU” That was very humbling: I looked into your face when you thanked your gramps & it reminded me of a happirer time in my life because my gramps raised me. YOUNG LADY KEEP CHRIST FIRST & WHEREVER HE LEADS YOU, FOLLOW. YOUR SONG IS VERY WELL SUNG AS WITH ALL THE MUSIC I HAVE HEARD THUS FAR. YOU SAID IN AN INTERVIEW THAT SOME OF THE COMMENTS HURT YOUR FEELINGS. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND STAY AWAY FROM THE TABLOIDS. I REMEMBER HEARING OPRAH IN THE BEGINNING OF HER CAREER SAYING SHE STOPPED READING THEM BECAUSE IT HURT HER AS WELL. BUT THE SONG IS BEAUTAIFULLY SUNG AND THE VIDEO MAKES IT ALL THE BETTER——–CONGRULATIONS TO YOU ON YOUR SUCCES WITH YOUR MUSIC AND ACTING CAREER

As much as she doesn’t like living under your spotlight “HATERS” please don’t ruin good things, save your horrible comment if you can’t say anything nice. We love the video and surely wish J Huddy best of luck with her album.
I’m in South Africa and flip, I digged this song very the first time I heard it yaknahmsayin. 63 and 63 can go the “hell”, who cares what is and what not Neyo wrote, this is Jennifer Hudson speaking out and on about all those jealous crepescula freaks who so insensitively imprison women by their insecurity.
I feel the industry’s found someone fresh not the same old bubble gums we had.. Stop comparing good peeps and try to bust out of you cocoon.
Ayobanez!! we love a good thing, full stop!!
