Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson recently opened up about the direction of her highly anticipated album. Speaking with Fashion Rocks magazine, the ‘Dreamgirls’ star had the following to say:“It’s not hip-hop,” she says firmly. “Let’s just say that. I don’t have anything against it, but it’s not the music that I like to sing. There’s some pop in there, and some R&B-soul, but,” she pauses for emphasis, “not hip-hop.”
Not sure how to read into this one. The quote makes it seem like she has a problem with Hip Hop, but I just see it as her telling it like it is. Nothing she’s done prior to now has been Hip Hop influenced, so why would her album be?
Your thoughts?
To all the slow people out there, all she was saying is that her album is going to be all r&b and soul, that’s all. She doesn’t have anything against hip hop. Don’t turn it into something it is not. Anyway, in the quote she did say, She doesn’t have anything against it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
go away i hate jennifer hudson i hope her album fail like kelly sorry but i feel that way
I don’t like her but I do wish my sister all the luck.
She sounds a little Oprah-ish to me. lol
THATS MY GIRL STAYING TRUE TO HERSEL AND NOT SELLING OUT JUS TO MAKE MONEY……GO JEAD GIRL DO YO THANG!!!!!!!!!
Fact of the matter is this; no CURRENT female r&b artist in the industry has the pipes or the vocal stylings that Jennifer Hudson has. SHE IS THE REAL DEAL. She is in the same league as Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, Chaka Khan, Patti Labelle,Whitney Houston (before she went crazy)and Mary J. Blige (after she found Jesus). Jennifer hudson is a SINGER. She should not be marketed as a pop-tart or a hiphop hoochie. She doesn’t need an ‘image’ or a ‘gimmick’ to sale records because she actually has a phenomenal voice. I don’t think she was trying to insult hiphop, she was simply stating the fact… Jennifer Hudson is not typical or predictable (like just about every other artist in the game right now). Jennifer hudson is a legend in the making. Mark my words.
Not my cup of tea At all. She over sings.
