Jennifer Hudson took vocal flight tonight at the 2019 Academy Awards with a performance of ‘I’ll Fight,’ the Diane Warren-penned number for the Ruth Bader Ginsburg documentary, ‘RBG.’
Curious to see how she handled the number live? It awaits inside:

“I’ll Fight” is nominated for Best Original Song at this year’s ceremony. It’s parent film, ‘RBG,’ which was directed by Betsy West and Julie Cohen, received a nod for Best Documentary Feature.
Lord where is beyonce and Rihanna when u need them the most, Jennifer was a pitchy mess
What annoys me about her, how loud her performances are…She never has a subtle voice!!??♂️
Rihanna is not a performer nor a vocalist by any means. Rihanna saves nothing
Jennifer is such a one-dimensional vocalist. I don’t even have to click on the video to know what she did, and how she sounded. I really can’t rock with her like that….
Jennifer is perfectly alright with me, but the music and vocals in this performance just did not align. I couldn’t figure out the song structure.
This was not her best performance…her voice actually got really pitchy and shrill during the big sustained notes.
Maybe not her best performance but that outfit was on POINT!! Love it.
Yes! That outfit is nice!
Oh, no! Not 2019’s beautiful gowns.
What a boring song! Switched off after verse 2.
She just finished up doing a musical before the Oscars so her voice was a little shot, but the song just wasn’t good for her. She should have switched it up some instead of attempting those high notes. She has a great voice, just never the right music.
