Taking to Friday’s episode of ‘The Jennifer Hudson Show‘ (October 18), the EGOT-winning diva trumpeted the release of her first holiday album ‘Gift of Love.’
“This holiday season I want to take it over,” she told the audience. “Mariah is the Queen of Christmas, I’ll take ‘princess.’ She’s ok with it…we talked about this.”
Featuring guest appearances and/or production from the likes of rapper-boyfriend Common as well as Kirk Franklin, Ryan Tedder, and more, the 15-track project – Hudson’s first musical body of work since 2014 – sees her unveil some new yuletide tunes as well put her signatures spin on classics like ‘Little Drummer Boy,’ ‘O Holy Night,’ ‘The Christmas Song,’ ‘Jingle Bells,’ and more.
“The songs that are on my holiday album…which is why it’s taken me so long to come out with one because I love all the songs. How do you choose,” she quizzed the audience before breaking down how ‘Gift’ celebrates the different kinds of “Christmases.”
The segment (seen in full below) comes just weeks before the kick off of Jennifer’s forthcoming holiday tour.
Jennifer puhleaseeeeeee…..More like Princess of Flops!
Stick to the talk show sis because that’s the only thing you have going for you regarding staying relevant. After all these years and opportunities to make a Xmas album, you just wanna come out of the woodwork with mediocre and dated sounds and randomly call yourself the princess of Xmas? Chileeee, i cant…the jokes write themselves smh.
💯
What happened to Mariah she would never let no jhud name herself that. and it’s disgusting Mariah must be having another breakdown. 💊💊 And Jennifer stealing Xmas 💲💲 right from under Mariahs tree
Delusional. Jhud is boring as hell. The best thing about her talk show is the hallway jingles.
DON’T NOBODY NEED MC’S APPROVAL TO CROWN THEMSELVES ANYTHING.
The nerve of this woman to think other artists have to gain her permission for anything!
Clive tried to turn her into the next Whitney and it backfired. JDud doesn’t possess the beautiful vocals, looks or charm. All she does is holler and be bland.
She can holler till her face pop she will never be Whitney
