@ Queen Bey

I loves me some BEE and I never will deny that but I have to answer some of your question

J.Hud hasn’t put out an cd yet so Obama can’t take his daughters to her concerts yet.

As far as J.Hud look not all women wants to look like Bee I think J.Hud is comfortable with who she is

J.Hud just did her National Anthem last night so she can’t have a million hits yet on you tube.

I think J.Hud has a churchy voice and at times it bothers me at time but there is room for everyone.

OH WOW!!! Her performance brought tears to my eyes. I can’t ever remember crying on the National Anthem. I think it was beautiful. BRAVO - Jennifer!!!

Awesome job jenny loved it

I love J. Hud BUT that SUCKED!!!! She over sang like shit…

Why does she always sound like she’s singing in church? What is with the screaming and over singing? Why the ugly belt and cheap wig? Why is she getting fatter?

End of rant.

I’m not a huge fan of JHUD, but I give her her props, she had tears in my eyes, and I am not AN EMOTIONAL PERSON, she did her thing and I am proud of her, love Beyonce but they are just two different types of singers.

OBAMA 08

YES WE CAN

” Kevin- If Barack Obama wanted or felt like “typical”, “overrated” “would drug it out” Beyonce could have done better than he would have asked her to sing. But it’s obvious that Jennifer Hudson is a better singer than Beyonce that’s why Barack “PERSONALLY” asked for Jennifer.”

Actually,I think Beyonce is a better singer and I’m not a fan of hers either. I think Jennifer lacks refinement. She needs to polish up her live performance next time. It seemed really amateurish IMO.

Jennifer Hudson was great!!! No matter what you guys say, she’s going to make it. You can’t stop someone with a voice like that.

“in a particular way. If being a “better singer” had anything to do with it… then he couldve easily chosen Patti Labelle, Jordin Sparks, Celine Dion, and YES even Whitney Houston!”

I was with you until you named Jordin (fat a$$)Sparks. Are you for real? That is a complete insult to the real singers you mentioned.

Hudson was iite didnt give me goosebumps && it wasnt anything to write home about && Christina isnt a great singer at all, all she does is scream at the top of her lungs. I think bey would have done a good job cause she tore it up before

“I agree i’m tired of beyonce’s tina turner/mariah imitations. corny. Jhud upstaged her on the Oscars and JHud Sings L I V E
‘

Jennifer didn’t outshine anyone at the Oscars. As a matter of fact,both her and Bey made complete a$$es out of themselves trying to outsing each other. It ended up sounding a MESS.

Everybody needs to stop being so critical of her performance, she did a great job. Beyonce wasn’t there so get over it!

Would someone take a moment and look at how many times Beyonce was mentioned in comments about Jennifer Hudson singing the National Anthem?

I dare say it appeared here about as many times as it would have if Mrs. Knowles-Carter had sung the anthem herself. We need to learn how to make our comments contextually appropriate.

That being said, Jennifer Hudson’s rendition of the Star Spangled Banner was unique and touching. Though not perfect, her personal soul stirring treatment set the tone for the evening: incesant fervor. Barack Obama, I believe asked her personally because of the strength her voice delivers. If you watched him speak last night, you saw that he also delivered with incesant fervor.

this is why she got the OSCAR…. all i can say is BLESSED….go jen..lol

why is it that when one person mention b, the bloggers take the bait, why argue or let it strike a cord its so low class.

The one thing that Whitney has the Jennifer doesn’t yet is CONTROL. Jennifer shouted and belted the entire song, she was all over the place. What made whitney’s so special was the fact that she knows how to control her voice and when she got to the belting part, she knocked itout the park and stayed in tune. Jenn was pitchy and sometims flat(last note)

At the end of the day Jenni did good!!!! Very good!!! and to all the haters home girl got an oscar… Point done!

FYI: Whitney wasn’t singing LIVE either, it was pre-recorded.

THAT WAS A WONDERFUL JOB NOT TO MAY SINGERS THESE DAYS CAN BRING TEAR TO MY EYES AND MAKE TO FEEL THE WAY SHE DID WHEN SHE SANG THIS SONG.

IM A PROUD AMERCIAN AND LOVE YOU JEN CAN’T WAIT TO YOUR ALBUM DROP YOU ARE IT GIRL!!!!!!!!!

GOD HAS TURLY BLESSED YOU

She did a excellent job

These some comments are NOT in the spirit of The National Anthem or Sen. Obama’s message. LET.LOVE.RULE.!!!!

J-HUD ROCKS!!! OBAMA ROCKS!!! CHICAGO ROCKS!!!!

It is time for a change !

It is time for Real Talented people in the industry to stand up and it is time for us to support them.

Jennifer Hudson you are a real talent and I commend you, Barak sees greatness in you that’s why he personally ask you to perform on a night that is historical.

Just the mere fact that Barak ask her personally is an honor.

Jennifer is a beatuiful woman and has accomplished great things, so she is great beyond words.

It is amazing what god can do!

damn haters. she wasn’t pitchy at all. people just love to talk about people. jealousy is not a good look

I think J-Hud did an excellent job! Not only did she sing it live but she also sang out doors. There is a 180% difference when you since out doors than in doors. I believe that nerves and the wind were factors as to why her performance wasn’t 100% but she nailed it at 98%.

whitney is a crackhead .. so why even put her in the same post .. she is a has been.. jen is the now ..get over it people give her the props she deserve… obama knows what he wants and jen was it… there is no if ands about it … because it is what it is… bey hasnt sung nothing to give you chills …. like jen the OSCAR winner lolo

^ Speak for yourself will ya. Sorry to point out the obvious, but both Barack and Jen are from Chicago. So IMO it’s logical that he would ask her to sing it, this has nothing to do with Bee or ANY other singer. Jen did good and that should be it.

She did the damn thing…

peop know the obvious and the same city connection and so on, but theres no argument there and thats how blogs roll. aside from that, theres quite a few chi town singers, but jen is in the position and has a gift and accomplishments thats why she was noticed.

It was a bit amatuer.

She did a wonderful job as usual! She can only get better! Always gonna be haters in the game.

CHI-TOWN STAND UP!!!!

Oscars are awards for acting or songs from a film. In which all 3 Dreamgirls songs lost to that Lesbian Lady for the Al Gore movie.

Jennifer did a WONDERFUL job as usual! She is only gonna get better. There is always haters in the game.

CHI-TOWN STAND UP!!!!

I think she done okay but not to the best of her abilities. Perhaps she was nervous. After all that was a huge crowd. I admit I was expecting a “Whitney” performance. But, her performance passes I guess.

I loved her performance and it sent chills on my arms, no BULLSHYT!

i think she did a wonderful job and they couldnt have picked a better peron.

F>>>>>> BEyonce she is not the only person who can sing jennifer hudson is a GREAT singer .
WHY EVEN COMPARE the 2 ladies, if thats the case throw alicia keys up in the mix

best anthem performance since whitney

Jennifer Hud did a great job. However why compare every artist to Beyonce. I will tell you why. Its called “Brainwash”. She is advertised so damn much to the point were you have to like her and believe. She is not the best singer. Nobody is really, because everyone sangs differntly people have differnt taste. Jennifer Hud has a strong voice, somewhat shaky, but she did an amazing job. Beyonce did an amazing job when she sung it a few years ago. Its like Beyonce is the best everything uh stans? What about real singers with real voices and real songs like Alicia Keys, Mary J, Keishay Cole, Tamia. All great singers …all compared to Beyonce just like J Hud. Let someone else shine for a change. J Hud did a good job. Im just saying..take care

you guys are some seriou haters…he almot had me in tears…hell he did…she sang that song!!!!!

IT WAS A MESS. SHE WAS FFING SCREAMING

BEYONCE’S ALBUM COMES OUT IN NOVEMBER. HOPEFULLU SOLANGE WILL LONG GONE WITH HER PITFUL SELF

A loud, one-dimensional, no texture, no beauty, hard tone mess.

If her voice had some texture and variation and if her tone was pleasant, he could be dynamic. As it stands…ugh…she needs to stick to gospel and big numbers.

And LMFAO @ her going faster than the piano accompaniment at the beginning. She was rushing so badly. Honey did you rehearse it? She was so off-rhythm through the whole sing, and rushing through everything. LOL @ her messing up the big section by rushing out of the “bridge”. I am done.

#32 I totally agree..

I thought J Hud did an good job. There were a few pitch problems but overall, she did a great job. I’m glad Obama chose her.

ok…first off..this isnt the first time she sang the national anthem. And It wasnt that great…Compared to anyone. And for the record. I was at that superbowl rehersal when Beyonce was practicing…and she sounded soooooooooooo good everytime she sang it. But back to Jen…she’s a sweet girl, but she sounded a slight mess.

LMAO @ these wanna be american idol ass judges on here!!

She sounded great! You people seriously need help with these damn critical remarks.

Can’t even enjoy the moment without being so fucking hateful..

You hating ass people need to log off, and go jump off the nearest bridge.

Dang why it’s always got to be battle!! Why is it that black women can’t share the spot light!!!! God made us to be all shape and sizes he did not make beyonce to be example to measure all women againts… I am sick on the stomach at some of the things people say on these Blogs…

she sounds good..but her version sounds A LOT like the version beyonce did at the superbowl a couple of years ago…just in a lower key :/

fyi…the reason why beyonce keeps popping up in this post isn’t because they were cast mates in dreamgirls and it’s not about weight or who can sing better..or whatever….it’s because JHUD’s version sounds a lot like the version beyonce did a couple of years ago….if she didn’t wanna be compared the Queen Bee, then she should’ve changed it up a little more

Ummm…J-Hud don’t sound nothing like quote “Queen Bee”. You saying J-Hud’s version sound alike like Beyonce don’t make any type of sense. Nice try.

jen has one more time to steal beyonce’ s oporunity next time beyonce is gon slap her and get her and solange’ s beat the f— up lmo
jen can sing and i know she will make it fuck to many people ae still thanking up for shutting skinny ghetto anthem singing no ass wide asships cow looking beyonce

Good Lord J.Hud had me crying while she was singing!!!!

Good Lord J.Hud had me crying while she was singing!!!! Stop the arguing over Beyonce and Jenn. The song was beautiful and it reminded me why I am a proud American!!!!

Hell, I thought she did a GREAT job! She didn’t hit high notes like I would’ve liked but then that would’ve been me wanting her to sound like Whitney’s version. Here is a list of my favorite national anthem singers:

5) Ray Charles
4) Marvin Gaye
3) Patti Labelle
2) Jennifer Hudson
1) WHITNEY HOUSTON

OBAMA 2008 baby! Thanks Hill and Bill! We still love yall too!

Jen did her thing. Her voice is awesome and I love listening to her. For whomever said she sound like any church singer, ummm you sound like you have been programmed by white society! Those are our roots you idiot! And quite frankly something I welcome in this new society riddled with nothing but SEX which is part of the reason why I cannot stand Beyonce. Sex is why she is where she is today. Sex sells and she does it really well. As far as talent, not so much. I’m sorry B fans, but B’s version was not good. She almost saved it at the end, but her arrogance killed it. She sang this like it was about her, not about the nation. Get over yourself B! Jen SANG this song like she was proud of this day!!!!!!!!

She did quite well! I am not a big fan of JHud but she is the home town so I will give it to her for making it! She has a theatrical voice…for broadway or gospel.

Shameless Plug: Visit Lena Michelle on myspace! Check out the music

I love J-Hud to death but I hate this performance.

i am from chicago and i am proud of it. I am a fan of jennifer hudson but i think she could have did better. The performance wasnt that good. Dont get me wrong she can still sing it just wasnt my cup of tea. For all the Beyonce fans she did good but this post isnt about her so dont bring her up. I think if people dont have anything to say about the post posted than dont say nothing cause you guys lose focuse on what the post is about. There are many post about beyonce so go post something about her on that post not on any one else post. As a matter of fact i say dont bring nobody name up (including whitney houston or mariah carey) cause the post aint about them either. Since the post is about J-HUD say whether you like the performance or not and leave it at that. Thank you

OMG> She gives me chills everytime she sings!
Go Jenifer!!!!!

SHE KILLED IT!
U CANT EVEN HATE ON HER. THE PERFORMANCE WAS PERFECTION.

…IDK yall….I didn’t like it.

WOW! Loved it!

Question: When will dumb ass AMERICANS, and I did not stutter - “DUMB ASS AMERICANS” stop criticizing each other and look at the larger picture? [9.9 times out of 10, the negative comments that are made is stated by the less educated & unfortunate.] Irregardless of the negative opinion, J-Hud was there, you were not & she sang from her soul great! By the way - I approve this comment, lol!
________________________________________________________________________

I approve this comment, LMAO!!!!!

@ 135 YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDIN!!!!!!!!!!!

Jenny from Chi killed it! It was not her “best” performance because she seemed a bit nervous, but it was still a solid performance, and I am sure Senator Obama asked her because he is representin’ for Chicago! Stand up!

Her rendition was beautiful and his speech was inspirational and brilliant. I was so proud that night!

See, this is what makes me sick. Black people ALWAYS bringing each other down. Jenny did a GREAT job…i got goosebumps. Beyonce did a great job too. And YES she has more control over her voice…she’s had singing lessons since she was a CHILD. Jennifer grew up in her church, where vibrato shows emotion in the choir. She’ll get better….even though she is marvelous now.

ALL of the non-singing, Bey stans *cough lady who wrote the LONG ass comment on BEy* sit the hell down. Jennifer is NEW to this. Stop the comparisons.

Mary J Blige, when she first came out couldnt control her notes either…still cant. But i dont see yall hating.

_____________________________________________________________________________

I don’t approve this LONG and DUMB ass comment, LMAO!!!!!

I cringe when I read comments like this: “People can say what they want about Beyonce, love her or hate her, she has something that none of these other female artists have. People only get this riled up over her.” You know and know well people worship the girl as they worship almost everyone with European features. Now, come on! I was so glad she was away from the stage…and now Solange’s huge failure has brought her back. Yahoo!

beautiful and spine tingling. J Hud did her thing.

ANOTHER DUMB ASS STATEMENT FROM A STAN.

I think the Jennifer did a great job. It’s hard to sing when you’re nervous and also when you have a really strong voice. Would you be able to perform in front of 84,000 people without wavering? I think over time Jennifer will be able to control her voice. Once she does, there will be no stopping her. She is very talented despite all of the comparisons to Beyonce. Usuallly when people compare you to someone else that means you definitely have something people want to talk about. I have had the chance to see both Beyonce and Jennifer Hudson perform live at Movie Rocks and I enjoyed every moment of it. They are both talented and have their own style. I can’t wait to represent for Jen and buy her album. OBAMA ‘08 BABY

For the record, Mary J. Blige can sing!! She doesn’t have an Oscar but I’m sure her numerous AMA, Grammy, etc all speak for her singing abilities. And, furthermore she has vocal control which comes after practice practice practice. I don’t think you can compare someone that has been in the business 2-4 years to someone that has been in the biz 20 years. When I think of great singers I think of Whitney, Chaka, Mariah, Patti, Faith Evans, Angela Winbush. I’m sure Jennifer will improve in time. She is well on her way but not quite there yet.

but……he did not ask “bey” so take that thought and put it on ice . People are so silly maybe he dont’t like the way “bey” sing maybe thats what he didnt ask her . Jennifer people have been trying to take your glory since day one t they cant STOP you,not matter who name they bring up. You have went up against a so call better singer and you still come out on TOP!!!

Sorry Justice, but Jennifer is NOOOOOOOO MARIAH CAREY if I must say so myself.

@19 WELL SAID…. SHE WAS NERVOUS BECAUSE THAT’S THE LARGEST CROWD SHE HAS SANG IN FRONT OF EVER. SHE DID AN AMAZING JOB, GIRL IS STILL YOUNG IN HER CAREER, I THINK SHE HAS WHAT IT TAKES TO BE “AS WHITNEY HOUSTON STATED” A POWERHOUSE…. WHITNEY HAS THE AUTHORITY, THE TALENT AND THE EXPEREINCE TO COMMENT ON SUCH THINGS, I AM NO EXPERT, NOW IF YOU WANT TO TALK INSURANCE, I GOT YOU, BUT ON SINGING, NOT MY EXPERTISE, SO I SAY LEAVE IT TO THE PROFESSIONALS….ITS THE NATIONAL ANTHEM… UNITE… PLEASE DON’T ARGUE….BARACK IN 08, IF YOU HAVE NOT DONE SO PLEASE GO OUT AND REGISTER TO VOTE WHILE YOU STILL CAN, IF YOU CAN WRITE ON THESE BLOGS THEN YOU CAN VOTE……PLEASE REGISTER!

Ahm…..J Hud did a great job. She is new to the game and the composure she showed amongst all those people and at such a historic event was great in and of itself. J Hud has a powerful voice and should be held in her own right and not compared to people who have been out for ten or more years with training by opera singers etc. Let us not forget how thin the air is there and how that calls for some serious adjustment in and of itself. This girl has been blessed and was blessed to perform at such a moment in history. She will indeed blossom even more.
