Spike Lee hosted the ‘Unstaged’ concert in New York City last evening. Several musicians performed at the event including Melanie Fiona, Common and Estelle. During a performance by John Legend and The Roots powerhouse singer Jennifer Hudson came on stage to sing the Gospel classic ‘Be Grateful’. Check out the footage below:
As usual, Hudson shut it down. She definitely has one of the most powerful voices in the industry today and showings like these help to build the excitement for her next studio album. Hopefully she doesn’t belt her way through the entire LP though. Variation is key.

Beyonce yelled her way through B’Day.. real tea.
Anyway, she looked great and they killed this classic!
you wanna know what that b**** ass n**** said!!!..that why are we (blacks)celebrating the life and legacy of someone who did everything to make sure he wasnt black!!!!! what message are we sending to our kids …….yet the autopsy reports reveal that mj did infact have a skin lightening condition vitiligo !!!smh
JHUD IS BECOMING A DIME A DOZEN BORING AC SINGER! HER TIME HAS COME AND GONE. TOO BAD SHE WASNT HERE IN THE 90’S. THAT ERA COULD HAVE USED JHUD, NOT THIS GENERATION. SAD BUT TRUE!
Yes, Jennifer Hudson did shut it down . She may have lost a lot of weight, but that amazing voice and those great vocals has not gone anywhere. Jen looked as stunning. I love her new transformation. A true super star in the making. I can not wait for her new album to come out.
SHE’S A GOSPEL SINGER FIRST AND FOREMOST. THAT TYPE OF VOICE DOESNT LEND ITSELF TO OTHER TYPES OF GENRES AS YOU CAN SEE HERE. SO ALTHOUGH JHUD IS A GOOD GOSPEL SINGER, SHE WILL NOT BE DEEMED THIS GENERATION’S “THE VOICE” SINCE HER STYLE IS SO LIMITED OUTSIDE OF CHURCH AND GOSPEL RNB BELTING.
TRENT’S THE R*****: I don’t know how much you know about Jenny from the block of chi town, but Jen has no limits. She is problemly the most versatilte artist in the industry. Please don’t let the first album fool you. This young multi-talented lady can deliever the lows just as hard as she gives us the highs. Gospel is just her home base. Jen can do rock, pop, country, jazz, and R&B and soul. I see you don’t know much about Jhud, but you will very soon.
omg will the dued shut the f*** talking shut the f*** up
Yes JHUD has a good voice, but I’M tired of her sounding like she still is singing for dreamgirls. Every song she sings has that vibe from dreamgirl. You did that now it’s over so move on.
uggg, too much screaming. she lost the melody and I couldnt’ make out the lyrics. I had to force myself to listen to this. I hope that she doesn’t do this type of singing on her next cd because I would have to pass.
give me fantasia any day, SMH
too much screaming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!she should tone it down……
She did that, I can’t believe a Fantasia fan hasd the nerve to say someone was screaming too much? B**** sit down lol. Fact of the matter is Jennifer shits on all of ur faves, so ur mad. Deal with it. Also ur all fans, I never comment on the posts of people I don’t like. Yet u guys are always first on jennifer’s post hmmm..
This stupid generation has been so digitalized and auto-tuned they don’t know the difference in big voice singing and screaming.
KIYA: Have you lost your mind Fantasia is the biggest screamer in the business. Jennifer Hudson can sing circles around Tasia, and I am also a Fantasia fan as well. The real deal is you don’t know real music. Jhud ant nothing but the real truth. Jen did not lose any melody of that song. Do you even know music are singing. There is a major difference between the two(singing and screaming). Honestly Jhud is the best female vocalist in the business today hands down.
JENNIFER HUDSON is the truth……Fantasia comes nowhere near this vocal beast AT ALL. If anybody screams, its FANTASIA!!
Um Norma. Um try again!! Jennifer sing circles around Fantasia…PLEASE. Try again boo! Fantasia screams out of habit but it is not a substitution for singing ability in the least!! Please believe Fantasia is on a different level. Jennifer can sing her face off and has a LOUD voice but, out-sing Tasia..I think NOT!! She can most definitely sing LOUDER than Tasia though but Tasia holds her own. PERIOD!!! Try again Boo Boo
Try again Jason. Come to the light. Your delusional thinking is causing you to drift away….
Awesome!!!!!!
I loved “Spotlight”, so restrained, I thought she had finally learned how to sing.
But she seems to have slipped back into her old bad habits.
Louder does not equal better.
Destiny: Jennifer Hudson is not only a better singer than Fantasia. She is the best female vocalist in the business today hands down. I support R&B music period, but Jhud ant nothing but the real truth. They all can sing, but none can sing better than Jenny from the block of the windy city. Like I stated before Fantasia is the biggest screamer of them all. I like her and her music, but she is very loud and not classy at all. The biggest hood rat of them all. They are all from the hood of some area, but she brings hers everywhere she goes. She is very country and loose.
Well over a year later and this performance is still one of the best EVER!! Just out of this world! JHud is the best singer in the music business today!
