    She still has problems with controlling her vocals as usual. I don’t really see much changing for Jennifer when it comes to her musical career but her acting prospects still look okay at this point. She should probably just stick to that.

    WHITNEY HOUSTON WANNABE! I HAD SO MUCH RESPECT FOR JENNIFE UNTIL SHE AND CLIVE RODE WHITNEYS CO-TAILS IN ORDER TO GET JENNIFER SOME ATTENTION! AT THE END OF THE DAY SHE WILL NEVER BE AS GOOD AS WHITNEY SO SHE CAN STOP SINGING HER SONGS EVERY 5 F****** SECONDS!

    Someone needs to get this girl a cruise ship deal. The only people that would want to hear her haggard Whitney tribute act are retired 65 year old’s with a passion for mundane travel combined with low class entertainment.

    Dang what’s up with all the Jennifer Hudson hate!!!

    • Noel July 12, 2012

      I know! I’m thinking the same thing. She’s such a talented woman. People are assholes. She’s doing just fine…and she has what an academy award, a grammy…that’s a great accomplishment.

    i like Jennifer I do, but since her weight loss she just does not have it anymore., she’s out of breath but she can sang just needs more control., this was blahhhhh

      Yeah, I’ve noticed that too. The press has made her just a “skinny-fat girl” and not what she ue to be which was a vocal powerhouse.

    She is a good example of a problem within the music industry. Jennifer is only one of a few names we every hear about in a sea of talent in the industry. One or two people can’t carry an entire industry even if it’s a multiplatinum singer like Adele.

    Screaming fest. The usual. She has a powerful voice and some stage presence. I´ll give her that. But her voice is not the Whitney type. She needs to stop that. It only makes more obvious she is not one of those once in a generation voices her team seems to want us to believe. She doesn´t even have a decent music career to begin with
