Jennifer Hudson Soars At Soul Sessions

Published: Friday 18th Mar 2011 by Sam

Jennifer Hudson‘s ‘I Remember Me’ promotional train pulled into Atlanta’s W Hotel last night, where the Oscar and Grammy winner performed a special set for Hennessy Black V103 Soul Sessions. The Dreamgirls star delighted the audience, which included her husband David Otunga and son David Jr, with a mixture of material from her self-titled debut LP as well as her new record (which hits stores next Tuesday).

Check out pics and performances of ‘Spotlight’, ‘I Got This’, and ‘Where You At’ after the jump…

    Behind the preposition! 🙂

    She looks very good I just wish she would wear a shorter lace front! Her son is gorgeous! Her boyfriend however, not so much!!

    The ending to Where You At was Horrible From 3:20 on.

    I didn’t like the 1st too performance. I don’t like it when she tries to crowd interact because she doesn’t do it much justice, I wanted her to sang. I liked “I Got You” more though between the 2. However, she went in for “Where You At”, that’s my ish.

  6. Dave March 18, 2011

    *2 performances.

    She should relax and let her talent be displayed. Don’t force it Jen. We want to hear you sing stop talking between breaths and allow that VOICE to flow from your lungs girl. Love you girl and want to win multiple grammys.

  13. JohnVidal March 18, 2011

    Surprisingly I´m loving most of the songs from her new album!
    I say that cos I really can´t take her voice most of the time. In other words she is not Whitney or Mariah, but to be fair: who the hell is nowadays? I´ll tell you: no f****** body
    But the album is pretty good

  14. KaVion March 18, 2011

    They’re such a beautiful family.
    They say with every loss comes gain, so I guess even though what happened to her family was horrible, she still has two amazing people that love her now.

    Everything happens for a reason.
    Great performances and album by the way..

  15. fran March 18, 2011

    the back up singer is from american idol right?

  16. Pam March 19, 2011

    Please Jennifer get rid of that weave!

  17. S*** March 19, 2011

  18. Just Sayin March 19, 2011

    Jen is getting better!
    She killed that ish!
    Stop hatin, damn
    All she need now is a wind machine, and learn a few dance moves, well pop that puss, and it’s on.
    LOL at the weave, but all artist get weave, or wear wigs you know… blonde ones, red ones, shaved heads, you name it.

    Jen is hot as fire damn girl!

    Get em Jen!

  19. cw March 19, 2011

    somebody really needs to coach her on stage presence. she still looking awkward as hell, still doing the effie white with the hand on the hips. sheesh.

    I wonder what her real hair line looks like, because judging by how far pushed back that lace front is, her real hairline must be non existent. she also needs to up grade on the quality of her hair because that one she’s wearing looks cheap as hell.

  20. KYLAA March 19, 2011

    i luv Jennifer. She is the better actress BUT now we know why Fantasia won AIdol….. Simon was right …… Fantasia is the better live performer. She was meant to be on broadway, Vegas , and tour for a living………. hope Tasia gets her personal life together because she is the best Aidol ever to win.

  21. Anthony March 19, 2011

    Jennifer Hudson is looking pretty s***, I just hope she does not go the skinny route like most of those anorexic girls in Hollywood. This would be gross.

  22. reauxmantic March 19, 2011

    YOOOO DID ANY ONE ELSE CATCH THAT GEORGE FROM AMERICAN IDOL is her back up singer??? #shermanshermansherman lol : )

    as always Jennifer did her thing….

    follow me
    @blairdevereaux

  23. Arthusandnico March 19, 2011

    You guys are so unfair
    She has one of the best voice out there. She’s the new Pattie Labelle

  24. whatyousay March 19, 2011

    It was a paid gig/show. I thought it was a free promotion for her new album. @CW yes she still thinks she is performing in Dreamgirls as Effie White. Jennifer you done that now move on and create a better you and not be so boring. You can sing, we get it, now learn some stage presence and performance so you won’t be so boring.

  25. word March 19, 2011

    its pathetic how some people come here and claim as if they are some sorts of singing expects while they are clearly not and are very clueless about what they are talking about.. singing its a voice technique and its going to include talking technique, screaming technique (thats called hitting the high notes) the problem with all of ya’ll are so used to pop’s stars non singing ass. when you see a real singer singing you thing they are shouting, just get a crib..j.hud is one of the best outhere period.

  26. Jay Hova’a Witness C*** Flea March 19, 2011

    OMG Yllifer Hudson !!!
    Damn she lookin good she so much better than beyonce she can knock that bey off the block & n outta the ballpark.

  27. S*** March 19, 2011

    For those that dont know What makes Fantasia (& Bey BTW) a better vocalist thAn YELLifer Hudson is her voice is more DYNAMIC & shows far more LAYERS. JHud Lacks a lot Which is why I failed to watch these performances, seen one seen them all.

  28. JuanR March 19, 2011

    She is amazing!!!

  29. YOOS March 19, 2011

    she is a good singer, but her stage presence and her voice do irritate me!

  30. LAX March 19, 2011

    opinions ae like a/h we all have one , that is if you are not from mars.
    jennifer hudson has one of the best singing voices on the planet no if ands and but
    ..and speak of streaming and loud dam theres many who leads that pack.

  31. LAX March 19, 2011

    READ WHAT THE CRITICS has to say they are harder on stars, singers than any body else. another good measurement of jennifers talents is the PEOPLE AND THE MASSES ACCROSS ALL DEMOGRAPHICS. PEOPLE loves her beautiful voice and many of you who is pissed because she can sing your fave off the stage into the crowd and out of this world your MEASLEY BAHINDS ALWAYS TRIES TO FIND
    SOMETHING NEGATIVE TO SAY, FALL THE HELL BACK. and besides that none of you ar paying jennifer therefore you don’t COUNT GO AND EAT PRUNES AND WAIT FOR THEM TO WORK YOU CLEAN AGAIN.

  32. LAX March 19, 2011

    jennifer is one of the few who can make you SMILE
    SNOT YOUR NOSE AND CRY ALL AT THE SAME TIME.
    AND NEGATIVE VIBES COMING FROM DOUBTERS JUST GOES TO SHOW YOU
    JUST HOW POWRFUL JENNIFER VOCALS ARE. AND I DON’T CARE IF HER VOICE IS LOUD TO SOME,I JUST DON’TGIVE A FUKK IT JUST SHOWS HOW PEOPLE ARE NEVER PLEASED.

  33. LAX March 19, 2011

    and some one mention her stage persent , that person needs togo and wash their mouth out with some baking soda. STAGE PERSENT, DANG THE TALENTENTED
    SUPER STAR WON,,,THE FUKING “OSCAR” Y IDIOT FOR CHRIST SAKES. WHAT IN THE HELL ARE YOU TYPING ABOUT, GO WASH YO A***.

  34. LAX March 19, 2011

    i am reminded that there are many who never wins a OSCAR in there lives EVER
    therefore those who can find fault with her loud singing and her poor stage PRESENT WILL ALWAYS FIND FAULT WITH JENN BECAUSE SHE LEFT YOUR FAV IN THE DUST WITHOUT EVEN TRYING THE ACADEMY OF MOTION PICTURES ARE THE PEOPLE YOU SHOULD BE SALTY WITH. OH YEP JENNIFER IS /WAS ON THE BOARD OF THE ACADEMY AWARDS.

  35. LAX March 19, 2011

    a few of her awards/accomplishments after DREAMGRILS grammy, gloden globe,
    academy award and oscard and over thirty plus awards and counting. when something is for you theres no other soul who can take it away from you. when something is meant for you even the devilin hell can’t block your blessings.
    thats why you see many succeeding aganist all odds and living their live long dreams to the fullest while others tries to SHINE A NEGATIVE LIGHT ON THEM AND THEIR CAREERS BUT WATCH AND SEE THAT JENNIFER GOES THE
    DISTANCE ON HER JOURNEY AND SHE AND MANY OTHERS WHO ARE TALKED AND SLANDERED WILL STAY FOCUS ON THE ROAD AHEAD OF THEM AND THEY WILL CROSS THAT “FINISH LINE” CARRY ON NOW !!!!!!

  36. rob March 19, 2011

    theirs singers and then theirs voices, i think jennifer has an amazing voice but not the best singer , but i go hard for jhud because of the voice

  37. Angela Wesley March 19, 2011

    I think Jennifer did an excellent job of working the crowd,she got then to sing along with
    her. Everyone kinda knew spotlight, but I like I got This better than Where are you at.
    I want Jennifer to snatch a few wig off of some people head like Gaga and Bey .
    I for one am tired of these to two ladies winning everything in side.

  38. lola March 20, 2011

    All of the people saying negative s*** about Jennifer’s voice need to STFU! I don’t think that Jennifer has a distinctive tone, voice personality, uniqueness, or vocal control, but she can SANG! How dare y’all criticize her so badly? Y’all are always saying “She’s no Whitney or Mariah” about stank, untalented b****** like Rihanna, Katy Perry, Britney Spears, and Lady Gaga, but when someone is actually singing, y’all wanna rip her apart! Face it, the majority of “singers” can’t sing to save their damn lives! Just be happy that someone with real talent is doing her thing and not showing her ass or selling p****. That’s the difference between J-Hud and Christina Aguilera. People call them scream queens, but Christina screams, J-Hud is just very loud.

  39. Ch.. March 20, 2011

    The same tired f*** stay mad! Jennifer Hudson > Your fave haggard non-singing ass fave.

  40. antertain March 21, 2011

    Greatness.
    Tone, natural ability, church, power, EASY on the ear

  41. Phillip March 25, 2011

    I LOVE all of these songs!!!! Flawless, the album is 5 star, her voice is on key. LOVE her!
