Denzel Washington's reaction is the very embodiment of my emotions every time I hear Jennifer Hudson sing.
100%
@@SamJohnsonVoice Can you please react to Harry Styles Carpool Karaoke? PLEASE PLEASE ❤️❤️❤️
@@SamJohnsonVoice could you react to Fantasia Singing Lady Marmalade Patti LaBelle tribute
Preach 🙌
"criminally underrated"

Was going to say the same.
Facts 💯 ... 🚔👮🏾
She doesn't get nearly the amount of recognition she deserves as a vocalist.
That makes me sad.
@@shadapakap Same here.
Did you watch the Kobe Bryant tribute thing? I was so sad when Beyonce got all the attention. Jennifer Hudson's performance was crazy emotional and the one that made me cry....:(
@@Billoo04 I haven't. But as Sam said, she's criminally underrated. She's such a talented singer and deserves more recognition.
People care more about the songs that a singer popularizes than his/her actual voice. Jennifer isn't as big as Beyonce because Beyonce's songs are way more popular. The more popular songs you have, the more recognition you get.
So glad we finally got a Jennifer reaction, she’s absolutely insane... her vocals and the emotion, all of it, it’s just too much
I was just thinking the other day that I was surprised he hadn't covered her yet!
JordyJRT I love it when people are wrong about her screaming.
j w YESSSSS One moment in time, I loves you porgy medly, I Will always Kobe you AMA’s, and more.
I'd love for him to do Jenifer Hudson's hit from the Dreamgirls movie "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going"
j w Lol yes and yes
Jennifer gives me goosebumps every time. Just like Whitney and Toni💜
Cherry Ember Toni Braxton 😊
Simple, I saw Jennifer Hudson, I clicked 🤩
Same here. She’s just INCREDIBLE
"criminally underrated", YES. she is one of the greatest vocalist of this generation. hope you react more to her performances!
Her and Xtina are tied for the vocals alive in the industry. but no one else are even close to their leagues
She just gets better and better. Love her tone, the dynamics...everything.
Dynamics lmao but you’re soooo right
@@MetusDragon lol
J Hud is becoming the voice of our times, her confidence has soared and I cannot wait for the Aretha Bio she is working on.
Yes can’t wait for it!! She is consistent 🙌🏿
It was amazing
I agree Sam, she's criminally underrated. I don't understand why she isn't recording and releasing new songs.
Because she isn't the right skin tone to be more marketable. That's the reality of not being light skinned black girl. Plus, she's is not the type to twirk and be half naked
@@faithkwaku Whitney wasn't light skin nor did she twerk.
@@Sttephy30 Jhud's voice isn't marketable anymore, she would be the biggest star in the world if that was 30 years ago but now they all sound the "same". It's not about voices anymore but good music only. Doesn't matter how good you are, if producers don't fantasize about you, you're not gonna make it.
@@Sttephy30 different generations. Our generation sadly nowadays doesn't appreciate true talent.
@@PTX5 Excuses. Jennifer just isn't big because her songs aren't really that good.
The minute I heard JH sing "And I'm telling you I'm not going" it was love, love, love for her voice.
YOU ARE SO GOOD. Seriously, I try other "voice teachers" "voice coaches" on youtube and NO ONE EXPLAINS ANYTHING. They're just like "Wow, isn't that run Mariah just did so great?" like YES ITS SO GREAT BUT HOW AND WHY AND WHAT PREP DID SHE DO. Anyway. Thank you SO MUCH for being educational, interesting, entertaining and lovely.
Yes! Exactly! I was thinking the same!
Yeah, I mean literally anyone can go on and say “wow, that note sounded great”, even I could do it, but explaining the technique behind why it sounded great I wouldn’t have a clue (beyond what I’ve learned from this channel!)
I mean it is called a "Reaction video" and not analyzing, which this is. I prefer a more analytic view on it like this aswell.
You should check out Lesage singing. He’s a vocal coach who does an extremely good job at analyzing singing videos.
Check out Tara Simon studios, she made a lot of reactions and she explains so much things, I really recommend you her videos!! :)
A Jill Scott reaction, any song but specifically her "Strange Fruit" rendition, would be phenomenal. She has one of the greatest voices of our time. From operatic highs to jazzy lows - and her PRESENCE on STAGE. Whoa. Unrivaled.
Thank you for your consideration.
Jill Scott is 🔥
I love to see Jennifer getting appreciated like she deserves by someone who actually knows what he’s talking about. I am tired of people claiming she’s just a screamer. Her singing has gotten so much better over the years and she keeps getting better.
FACTS!
I don’t think I’ve ever not had tears streaming down my face when I’ve heard her sing. You said it, Sam- she is criminally underrated.
This is now a Jennifer Hudson stan account and I'm here and ready for it.
I am a longtime fan of Jennifer Hudson. Listening to her sing is always an Experience.
I love Jennifer’s voice. She exudes so much confidence that I let go and trust she’s just going to take us there!
i love it when you hear a note that’s beautiful and you smile. it’s wonderful to see a voice teachers joy 🥰
I'm so glad we got a JHud analysis! She is so underated, but the minute you need a girl that can sing her ass off you can be damn sure they gonna pick the phone and call HER. So excited to see her as Aretha!
Sam, thank you for your videos. I don't have any formal training but I love to sing, even if I'm limited in my range and technique. I deeply enjoy musicals so I cant help but sing around whatever song of Wicked, Phantom of the Opera or Chicago I've been thinking. Your videos have helped me understand a lot stuff about singing, and even if I say so myself, I feel improvement. I really love the way you get happy and excited about music, I like to think that everybody has something to be that excited about.
Also: "That´s a sentence... right?" Is a mood for 2020.
She’s definitely one of the most skilled vocalists on the planet.
Ugh I lovedddddd when her video came out!! Literally the best, so glad there’s more people who is seeing it!
She used to be very pitch riddled. She went and had lessons and she learned to control all of that God given talent.
Mhm, good for her honing her instrument!
I figured so. Jennifer has gotten betta and you should do whatever is necessary to keep your life and talent in shape!!
the thing that i love about jennifer is her sound is uniquely hers. people can try and emulate that sound but its not the same. her voice is just out of this world.
The struggle for a vocal coach to react to her singing, you gotta praise her techniques every 2 seconds 😂 love this reaction and my girl jhud ❤❤❤
Jennifer Hudson is my go to when I'm in the mood to watch live vocal performances. She is absolutely incredible and I'm always left in awe, wondering how she does it. Thank you so much for making this video and explaining the complexities behind it. It's truly magic. 🎉
I'd love to see you react to some Alabama Shakes, such a unique sound that I feel like is criminally underrated. So much room for analysis with Brittany Howard's sound and technique.
ME: trying to imitate Sam’s neck movement as it might release vocal tension at 18:09 .... just to feel dizzy 🥴
I'm dying to see you react to And I Am Telling You; her vocals are just insane there
You should watch her singing that with Jennifer Holiday…..it was insane. My wig, headset, and edges flew off. 😂😍
I’ve been listening for a while and, yes, it’s starting to sink in. It’s like I’ve been staring at an optical illusion for a while and now I sorta know what the scene is but the detail hasn’t hit me yet. Thanks for all your videos. When I was a teenager, I gave up on my voice because I felt lesser because of my range and weak upper register...and I didn’t know what was possible with training. Over many many videos, you’ve convinced me that singing is available to me and that’s one of the most precious things anyone has ever been able to do for me without even knowing I exist. Thank you 😊
no one does it like Jhud honestly, criminally underrated, you said it.
Yea, that's Jennifer, that lady that sounds like 50,000 people singing, I'm just too obsessed with her, I mean she's soooooo cute and sounds amazing.🥰🥰
I don’t have a clue what you’re saying but I’m still gonna watch cause I love Jhud and love hearing people praise her
Agree... singing from the heart/soul is "CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED"
Sam, I am so grateful you keep putting these videos out, even when you feel like you're repeating yourself. Repetition is part of what teachers do. 😉 I was a band kid that sang in church choir. So I never had the benefit of voice lessons. I just could open my mouth and sing. Life happened and my participation in any music stopped for 25 years, besides singing in the car and shower. Well, now I'm singing at church again, but my voice is not the voice I remember, and I don't know the exercises to address the problems I'm running into. Your videos are helping! So you may feel like you're a worn out recording stuck on repeat, but folks like me NEED the repetition! Thank you for the work you do!
That final build was unbelievable. Had me teary.
I've been subscribed for well over a year, and the difference between my singing now and then is drastically different because of what you do on this channel. Everything feels so much better and less fatigued because of what I've learned. Thanks, Sam! You're very good at what you do, and my vocal folds appreciate you very much!
Sir. Your reaction is so freaking good. You sharing your expertise freely is so gratifying and commendable.
Underrated vocalist and yes she can whistle .
She’s taking us to “Church” by using those tones. Black Gospel sounds and tones to color her voice in this song! Jennifer is so naturally talented. I just love her and appreciate her ability that comes from God.
This is like Speech-Language Pathology porn. 😂 I thought I was the only one who tried to figure out articulation positioning when listening to people sing.
That’s actually a very common consideration when it comes to singing. You and Sam are not the only ones.
Yup. SLP here. It absolutely is. 🤣
THAT ENDING!!!!! **takes off shoes and entire shoe cupboard and dashes it at the stage** 👠🥿👟👡🩰
I must say Sam I absolutely LOVE the way you break down EVERYTHING. Especially your analysis of how she said the word "it's"... little things like that that are so overlooked, you bring to our attention. Thank you so much for these videos, I've been watching loads recently!
Can everyone do this as well as she does???? 😬😬😬😬
Noooooooo.......
Well, at least you are honest with us!! Lol
Sam said 👏🏿 Focus on what you *are* good at, please 😂
This is one of my favorite videos of yours! Not just because it was the legend J HUD herself, but because what you were saying was really resonating. You were totally in the zone ✌️❤️
Jennifer queen, thanks for the reaction.
(Sorry, my English is so bad).
Sam- I am learning so much about how the vocal folds work and the differences between chest voice and head voice that sometimes the broken record makes it sink in better. Thank you for your videos and don’t ever think we’re not listening, because we are.
As always, thanks for doing these. I was in lessons for years including three years in music school, so your videos are always super fun and interesting to me. Plus I feel like I learn something (or something clicks in a new way) every time. I dont know if I just wasn't paying enough attention when I was in school (probably) or what my issue was but the way you explain things just makes so much more sense than 70 year old classically trained profs. The changes I've been able to make based on what I've learned from your channel have reignited my love for singing and performing full on car-concerts. Thanks again, seriously.💜
Sam, your vocal knowledge blows me away. Thank you for such insightful and in-depth explanations. 💕
My God, Sam, the way you explain this stuff ! It's just so so good and clear. You manage to make me appreciate the performance even more !
Thank you 🤩
She is too good! Makes my skin shiver every time she sings.
I would LOVE to hear what you have to say about Christina Aguileras performance of James Browns 'it's a mans world'. She sang it as a tribute a couple of years ago (probably more years than I care to remember). But she blew my mind completely.
She is my favourite singer of all time, even though i love the greats there is just something i love about her. When i heard her sing eye is on the sparrow i fell in love. I agree she is underrated.
Thank you for actually being a good vocal coach reactor and giving good explanations; unlike the others who just see the video and don’t really give useful input.
Hi from Italy Sam!
I really love your videos 'cause your english is so clear to understand and they are a kind of "language workout" for me.
I love to sing too and your reactions and comments to these performances are very interesting!
Forgive my bad english 😁
I think Sam is criminally underrated. I love these videos.
As always Sam thanks so much for actual analysis alongside the reaction ❤️
I absolutely love watching you analyze and critique the voices of these artist! Your honesty shines through and your professionalism is greatly appreciated. I don't sing but have a love for music and gifted artists such as Jennifer Hudson. Thank you for your videos, hard work and dedication. Whomever is trained under your direction should consider themselves blessed. You need to be on the ever so popular show The VOICE.🎶🎤
Thank you for helping me stay sane through quarantine! I absolutely love your content.
Honestly got the chills , this sista can really sing with passion
I've been waiting for thisssss. Thank you sm
I’ve learned so much from you after being away from singing for a long time! Thank you!!
I love the way you speak and explain, thanku!
YESS WAS WAITING FOR THIS FOR SOOO LONG!!!
Agreed. She is totally underrated. One of the best if not the best vocalist to come out of American Idol.
I love this! Like many other videos of yours, Sam. Thank you.
Sam Cooke is a singing legend, please analyze his songs sometime. Your videos are great!
Live at the Harlem Square Club would be amazing.
I think ur analysis is spot on ! She is one of the GOATS !
Your videos are so helpful for me, since the beginning of the year I'm also learning to sing from a voice teacher. With every lesson I get I can understand more of what you are saying 😅. It's awsome to learn how my voice works, the jaws are always a topic :D
I'd love to hear your analysis of Joss Stone - A Natural Woman from the Aretha Franklin tribute. Joss is so underrated and far less known than she should be.
I could hear you explain things all day. Thank you!
Jennifer for sure has vocalized an A6 in whistle register. She did so on a live performance of "Where You At" at a iHeartRadio gig, and did so VERY effortlessly.
Thank you so very much Sam for enlightening me with your explanations 🙌🙌🙌❣️Love Jennifer‘s voice 🎵🎶🎼❤️Trying to grow my voice in this direction - although I‘m a lower mezzo voice type ...
such a powerful singer. i love her. thank you sam ☺️
I am so glad you feel the same way about the “thinking” that goes into a scripted “trained” sounding performance. This was the biggest problem I had with studying voice. Worrying about your face, your mouth, your throat, where is the sound coming from, make sure to project, be poised in your position. Ugh! at that point there is just no feeling left for the music.
I would love love LOVE to see Sam react to Aretha Franklin’s Nessun Dorma at the 98 Grammys
It's brilliant, I totally agree with you, would love to see him react!
17:57 I feel as if you were talking to me. I really enjoy your videos and I always learn something new when I watch them. Please, keep going!
Out of any performances of Jennifer I would have chosen this one too. I thought I might have given that video all of it’s views! Glad other people are showing up for her, she is sensational! Hope you’ll do a video on Shoshana Bean!
Even Denzel was feeling it daaaaamn, what a VOICE!!
My favorite performance by her was with tori kelly when they performed “ hallelujah “
I've been telling people for a long time, that currently she is the best. Her halleluiah, all is fair in love, simply beautiful, the first time ever I saw your face, and tribute to Prince, purple rain, I listen to over and over, she is one of my top 10 favorites. I almost forgot that her national anthem was one of the best.
Hi Sam!! I love all your videos. Keep it coming please!!!
I love J HUD but... Watching your face when you are listening to music that you love is incredible... Thank you for sharing❤️❤️❤️
Love the way you explain everything!!
Thank you so much for this i was wondering why there isn’t more reaction videos of her performance
You are awesome, Sam! Thank you.
Jennifer one of the most talented singers of our generation. Sam, could you please react to Little Mix new single called “Holiday”, mixers would love to know your opinion on their voices, loveee your videos, greats from Mexico!!
If there's a video of them singing it live I'd be happy to
@@SamJohnsonVoice Can you please react to Harry Styles Carpool Karaoke? PLEASE PLEASE ❤️❤️❤️
I love this voice coach 😍 I love Jennifer Hudson
THANK YOU for finally giving us a Jennifer Hudson reaction! ❤️ I hope one day you’ll be able to react to Taeyoung and his baritone range.🥰
She’s gotten so vocally proficient over the years. In the past she has sounded a little screechy to me at times. This performance is a good example of how well she can actually sing.
I LOVE YOU SAM THANK YOU FOR REACTING TO QUEEN JHUD
So glad you did this song cause it’s so underrated!!!
Amazing! Oh Jennifer Hudson, my favourite... thank you for the tip Sam!
What you said about the distance between larynx and soft palate and the possibility of changing colours without losing the line is so true and well explained! Pronunciation should never interfere with the sound. That's what I'm always pursueing myself as an operatic tenor! Well done :)
You know I need to hear the same thing in a bunch of different ways to get it 😂 I’d reckon a lot of people are the same! It’s really helpful to hear the same themes applied to multiple different artists, it makes it easier to see the ‘forest’ rather than just amazing, unattainably skilled ‘trees’ 😄
Great video! Love this camera angle!
Could not agree more about the mouth/jaw position when reaching the passagio. When I first began vocal training at 8 years old this was one of the first things I noticed and learned; that the jaw needs to be dropped along with the tongue to maintain the sound you want as you reach your first bridge. More space for the sound, it always felt like to me.
It became more clear to me a few years later, maybe around age 12 or 13, then very natural in my teenage years when I was singing and training regularly. By my 20s it was second nature to do this and I hadn't even realized that it was something I learned to do.
Now at (almost) 41 I barely think about what I'm trying to accomplish when I sing. I can just trust myself to make it work.
HOWEVER...I've added a great many tools to my arsenal just from watching this channel. I've said it a hundred times before and I'll say it a hundred times more. Sam, you are offering the world not only your beautiful appreciation for music but also your invaluable knowledge and skills at the same time. We really should be paying you for these videos that you SO generously offer us for free. And we adore you for it ❤
“Criminally underrated” I like that
Awesome vid Sam! I’d love to see you react to some Whitney videos! There’s a performance of her singing “I’m changing” in 1986, the video where it’s just the picture of her throughout. I think you will be blown away and I love when you react to these old school powerhouse vocalists! Stay safe :)
She’s been working on her whistle register you can find the videos on TH-cam of her practicing x
I'm very late to this video, but PLEASE react to her singing How Great Thou Art (Pentatonix's performance featuring her).
There's a live and an album version. Both are insane. She keeps me up at night.
This was so awesome to listen to. Great job.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
