I'd say: The SINGER, then the MUSIC.

Regarding the singer, we all know Jennifer Hudson found her REAL fame as an actress. Yes she was on American Idol but she got all those awards for playing big fat Effie and outstaging Beyonce onscreen. Then came the tragedy and I always felt like she got the Grammy because of that. Jennifer is a great singer like almost every black girl who makes it to the top12 on American Idol. She made herself a household name as a sassy big girl who overcame a great tragedy, just like Effie. But she decided to change it up, to lose weight and to become an it-girl. She plays a completely different part and the audience can not relate to that.

Regarding the music, we all known POP is the reigning rythm right now. I can't see any of those kids out there bobbing their heads on some Keith Sweat, that music is just too slow for them. Usher, Beyoncé, Ne-Yo and Chris Brown brought contemporary R'n'B to the top for some years. R'n'B needs to be re-invented again, and I think Miguel is the NKOTB who is doing the best job right now.

Jennifer needs to sing the music that matches the persona she's showing right now. Since Nicki Minaj found the missing link, she's unstoppable.
