Jennifer Hudson Gives Premiere Performance of ‘Where You At’ On Oprah

Published: Friday 11th Feb 2011 by Sam

Vocal powerhouse Jennifer Hudson took centre-stage on The Oprah Wifrey Show today, where she gave the first televised performance of her new single ‘Where You At’.

Check out the Grammy and Oscar winner in action below…

As much as the recorded version of the song still doesn’t rouse me, Ms. Hudson nailed this live showing. A true act, as they say, is one who knows how to interpret and relay the lyrics they are singing, qualities Jennifer actions with ease. Great performance.

  3. Be BETTER not “Bitter!” February 11, 2011

    Good Performance but I still don’t like this song very much at least not as a lead single. Kudos to Jen though she looks Amazing! 🙂

  4. Prince&Queen February 11, 2011

    Jennifer please move on to another song cuz this song is just not where it’s at! This sound like some regular boring church song. U look Stunning though!

    J. Hudson have a great voice but that song is terrible. Oprah is one stupid b**** of course she has her on her show because Jennifer is or was living with her for a while now.

    JHud is back! nice performance girl…

  8. eugene February 11, 2011

    omg love this performance.i agree i did n`t like the single either but this performance is totally excellent. The fact that she is a very talented actress makes her live performance very good to watch .i think i am starting to love this single now.

    @LAME

  11. Stoney-Brie February 11, 2011

    yessssss J-hud tore it up while looking so chilled back.. without even trying! wat a talent!

  12. BENJAMIN February 11, 2011

    She did good. Song is still boring to me, but I support JHUD.

  13. AuntieJackie February 11, 2011

    Hmmm, Love J.Hud, but I think she’s marketing to an older audience. Susan Boyle-ish but black? She’s not going to be making pop-techno, run around shoving banana’s down her throat or pop her unmentionables on stage like Bey. it’s not her genre…

  14. THE BEST February 11, 2011

    Sam do the Jenny posts from now on. Trent would have threw some shade as usual.

  15. carmello February 11, 2011

  17. carmello February 11, 2011

    Also forgot to comment on the fact that J-hud looks amazing!!!

    Keep it up mama!

  18. J2245 February 11, 2011

    Nice to see that she is dress the part for the show if you know what I mean. The industry got these women looking likes I don’t know what. But she looked kind of nervous or its just me.

  19. MuzikJunkie! February 11, 2011

    I LOVED the performance, but I hope she release another song before the album comes out because this one is a little boring! Either way I’m still buying her album because her voice is PHENOMENAL!

  20. Arthus and Nico February 11, 2011

    Definitely the best !

  21. cw February 11, 2011

    great voice, boring as hell performance. Still doing the effie hand on her hip I see.

  22. UGh February 11, 2011

    the song is hella boring

  23. The Truth February 11, 2011

    Jennifer looks AWESOME! Performance was great. However it doesn’t make me like the song more or want to download it. I can’t wait to hear what other songs she has on her album.

  24. Keesha February 11, 2011

    I <3 her!!!! I saw the whole show!

  25. i’m a s&m lovin’ billy goat….baa, spank me hard! February 11, 2011

    1st, I can’t stand that self-hating fat moose Oprah “former crack user & prostitute” Windfrey. 2nd, I have never purchased a J-Hud song and wont be after this performance. Now with that said, this ISH right here SLAYED! 🙂 ….D…A…M….N…..Jennifer!!!!!!

    Dear Lady Gaga, you want to talk about singing prowess GIRL PLEASE! You better watch this Oprah episode and #SIT! I like your quirky style but this chick here is a true vocalist with one of the best set of pipes in the game! #THATISALL

    Jennifer Hudson was A-ma-zing! This is what you call real talent. NO ass shaking, NO random-ass nakedness, No shoving bananas down her throat, or Autotune, just her and the microphone. I Live….

  27. loumorgan February 11, 2011

  28. anette February 11, 2011

    @ J2245, i thought so too, prehaps it’s because she didn’t want to slip up!

  29. IAMWHOIAM February 11, 2011

    Sorry, I have to disagree. I think the problem is she’s NOT properly interpreting the lyrics. She’s got a BIG voice, but there no emotion and accurate interpretation behind it. As for the song itself, KELLZ IS MY DUDE, but this song isn’t very appealing to me. However, it’s off to a good start on the Urban AC and Hiphop/RnB chart.

  30. Arbitraitor February 11, 2011

    Ms. J Hude spoke to my soul and gave it everything it needed. #thatisall

  31. Jordan February 11, 2011

    ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ….

  32. Ren February 11, 2011

    When you have TALENT, you don’t have to wear meat dresses, pose n*** or make shallow electro dance fluff for queeny gay boys and their fat f*** to sashay to.

  33. X_POSED99 February 11, 2011

    YAAAAWN FEST AND LAME!! This s*** aint goin anywhere on radio ads. After 2 freakin weeks, it’s nowhere on any Billboard charts. JHud can sing but she is monotonous. The same lame goseplization of songs with that churchy annoying vibratto of hers. More like a tenor broadway singer tahn anything else. Notice her church voice is much deeper here than usual… Hope she aint smokin the Newports already.

  34. TheMan4U February 11, 2011

    now tell me thats not the closest thing we have to whitney houston

  35. stan February 11, 2011

    as usual with her…. great voice, subpar song

  36. Kisses February 11, 2011

    She was wonderful..

  37. DION-ISH February 11, 2011

    DAMN That Women can SANG!

    Going on my 3rd time watching it LOL….That Voice. This will probably make me like the song. Love that J-Hud is soo Adult Contemporary and not trying to do something for the sake of Hype….Just be True to who she is, Lovely.

  38. DION-ISH February 11, 2011

    J-Hud seems soooo…… REAL.

    Like i just dont know what it is but i like her. Shes Awesome.

  39. Sugaranice February 11, 2011

    I like this better than “Spotlight”…Good Interview and Great Artist!!!

  40. Jasmine February 11, 2011

    I’m mad at her labe,l for pushing this song as a first single. They know she should have a hit song not this leftover sounding r&b filler music bs

  41. Yass February 11, 2011

    R. Kelly is so shady! He would give J-Hud some ghetto leftover like “Where You At” and save classic songs like “Number One Hit” and “Lost In Your Love” for himself. Chile…

    But J-Hud SLAYED with the vocals, hunny! The b**** is back and she’s going to drag Crustina by her crusty ass wig this Sunday! Can’t wait!

  42. Priscylove February 11, 2011

    what are ppl going on and on about. I love the song..the lyrics are grown. It spoke to me and I am in my early 20s so…….

  43. antertain February 11, 2011

    She’s just effortless
    Love the voice and the lyric’s

    Song is ok but she brought it on this live showing

  44. lax February 11, 2011

    jennifer looks great and her vocals are on point as always , and to me her nusic is
    geared to the grown and s***, not choochie poppers. she has one of the greatest
    voices on the planet.

  45. Kevbo February 11, 2011

    that’s how it’s done!

  46. Hudson Morrigan February 11, 2011

    Horrible song, and she is off pitch, ugh.

  47. Mely B February 11, 2011

    JHud was fantastic as usual but that song is horrible as a lead single. I’m still going to buy her album though.
