    A bit tacky, and the wig looks too wiggy, but if she is happy that is all that matters, I wish all the best

    Hell To The No! I hate J. Hud and her big boisterous voice. They are flat and not blending. I want them all to please stop. J. Hud could not do a Whitney 2010 song let along one during her “Hay Day.” Please respect our late artist and let her work stand on its own merit. J. Hud we don’t want or need you to re-create a thing – not to mention you don’t remotely have the skills are the voice. STOP BELIEVING YOUR OWN PRESS!! and STOP EXPLOITING WHITNEY’S PASSING. I don’t remember EVER seeing J. Hud in Whit’s space (at least we did of Brandy & Monica), so please you Jennifer Holiday rip off, go make you own way and quit committing musical treason!

    She looks insane. The outfit, the wig all a hot ass mess! Since when does she wear panties on stage? She needs to have a seat for real. This mess is worth your family? Really?

    She looks a hot mess. The outfit is aweful and it doesn’t do anything for her; and her hands look horrible and old. I agree with Ladya…she needs a stylist asap.

    What she needs to do is rub some lemon juice on her under arm area and get get rid of those stretch marks. I cannot stand to see people wear sleeveless shirts with stretch marks coming all from under their arms. Lemon juice will lighten that right up. And yes she looks like a fool in that outfit, an absolute fool.
