their batch was the hardest to judge in my opinion, having her, latoya, fantasia, diana, jasmine, george and the others. they all give different flavors.
@@achosenvessel6563 / Everyone is entitled to their own opinion....and on that note,I say....she is That Good!!!!!!! God has blessed her with an Amazing Gift,she has such a Beautiful,Powerful, Soulful ....Voice!!💫💫
No singer in my opinion can understand this pain and passion like Jennifer Hudson. She always sings from her soul but this hits differently because she understands it all too well...... AMAZING PERFORMANCE
J Hudson knows too well.grief by her murderous in law killing her mother, brother, sister and nephew . God rest them . Poor Vanessa, losing a child and husband at same time , and to push on. You are strong
@@KingChocoo She draws attention in anything she does. Even in her divorce she lied up. She lost. She wasn't awarded custody. She tries to get attention in EVERYTHING!! If a good singer is singing she takes away and tries to out do them. It is called the VOICE. NOT JHUD'S VOICE!!
Oh my Goodness so yeah she was singing to God and her brother heard her along with Kobe and his daughter who are now watching over their family bec they are in the Kingdom of Heaven with the Lord.
She sang this on her murdered brothers birthday. I saw it on her IG. She sang the hell out of that song and much respect to her for singing it the way on what is probably a hard day for her.
She snatched my soul and transported it to the heavens above. She’s singing from a place of having experience that kind of grief. Rest in Peace Gigi, Kobe, the Altobellos, Coach Mauser, Payton and her mom Susan and Ara, the pilot. Jen’s mom, brother and nephew, continue to Sleep in peace❤️🙏🏾God is still Sovereign.
@AJ Amen!!!!! Whenever he does anything he has his reasons behind it all. My mother had a saying “even in your wellest hour you’re sick enough to die”. Never ask him why just hold on to his hand he is the best friend that you can have...I love each and everyone one of you and remember we may never understand, but ask God to mend your broken heart and he will do just that have faith in him like he has faith in you..God bless take care check on a neighbor apologize and mean it love one another. Be grateful. Stay prayed up. Visit the elderly. Stay humble. Do your part here on earth that God wants us to do...because death walks around our bed every night. It’s up to the man above to blow breath in your body every morning🙌🙏😇
your comment doesn’t make any logical sense... if your god is “loving” why would he or she plan to have people killed if that was their plans? Like how does that make sense, sounds like god has some serious psychological issues
She done Donny Hathaway justice "for all we know." Such a beautiful song that's befitting for Kobe and all of those affected by this tragedy, sung by someone whose experienced pain.
I'm so proud of Jennifer Hudson to put the right amount of emotion she singing from deep within JHUD is the voice of this time. I feel this, captivating, powerful, elegant, so beautiful
Not the time or place to debate the God given talents of Jennifer and Fantasia. Please focus on the words of the song and her eloquent delivery, and look at the beautiful captured moments of Kobe and Gigi. I imagine that even by man’s standards the worst singer on earth is singing and pouring their heart to the Almighty God that it is indeed sweet music to his ears and he hears it as perfect pitch and harmony.
It's pretty clear people simply don't know what real singing and talent is anymore. No clue! Saddest part is they think they do. This woman is one of the BEST!
There's something about that last "amen" that tells me she wasn't suppose to say it, but did it because she felt as if she needed reassurance on the prayer. Its almost as if like "I didn't get my point across, lemme make sure I sealed that prayer and sent it to Kobe and Gigi." Overall it was the perfect and we all know it. Thank you Jennifer.
I want to know why over 300 people didn't like this performance. She didn't overdo it. She sang from a place of sadness. She knows what its like to lose family so tragically and so suddenly. Until this performance I had never heard this song, but she did it justice. She sang from her heart. Had me crying and I wasnt even a Kobe fan. Great job Jennifer
Cuz them always compare her with beyonce and everyone always say she shouldn’t ever fame if not dream gurlz jenifer holiday all that shit .. im confiuse ergh
I'm crying. Rip to Kobe and Gianna and all the others in this tragedy. I remember Jennifer's loss of her mother, brother and nephew as well. Losing close ones is so so painful . It's my fear but I know it will happen inevitably.
@@BJ-tj7pn I'm not saying she can't sing , she can sing , it was just a little too much, and i did not feel touched by it and I get emotional real easily . Kobe and Gia rest in peace.
No one can embody this song like she can. She did Donny Hathaway justice. You can hear the anointing all in her voice. As she’s healing others, she’s healing herself. Grievance comes in waves. I love you Jennifer. Sending my condolences to her, and all families affected by tragedy. 💔💜💛
They say it was her brother's birthday & she had been crying just before she walked on stage because someone had brought a cake & Jennifer, her sister & family members were singing Happy Birthday to him backstage.
Some deaths are really hard to get over...this was how I felt when my mom fell dead before me while we were eating Easter dinner my sister died 11 mths after her...2 yr long battle with breast cancer...Thank you mama for teaching me how to pray
How awesome is Jennifer Hudson just totally awesome I didn't watch it for like 50 times already and still have the same feeling and the emotions that she came out and did such a wonderful job and felt everything that she did I agree with most of the viewers and I truly truly want to say I thank her and I pray for her every day for better day
*Why give Kobe a tribute at all since he was a rich man (loaded) who was worth $600 million dollars* ??? Are you serious? He stuck a ball through a metal hoop and made $600 million from selling $200-$1000 pairs of sneakers from most people who don't even have health insurance. While 1.1 billion of the world has inadequate footwear, over 30 million children die a year in the world due to no shoes at all...yet Kobe is admired by millions. Are you nuts.. The fool was even a Catholic...and thousands of children have been raped by priest due to people like Kobe funding that madness. Wake up. Kobe served Satan and money and fame and rings...not God.
@@godrulesme8619 if this is your attitude and the best thing you can think of to say about a man that tragically lost his life along side his young daughter and 7 other people, than God doesn't rule you, satan does! You speak like a jealous and envious fool! Your soul is lost and if the best you can do is speak ill of the dead, then it would serve you better to just shut the hell up!!🤐
@@godrulesme8619 You have so much hate in you. You need to change your handle to Satan Rules Me. Kobe was not the cause of all of the world's ills. And what exactly have you done for your fellow man? You are a hater. Pretty sure no one wants to see your rants. People like you are what makes this world so very sad.
@@janeknight6526 Weak reply....Kobe let millions of people die since he would not use his money to even feed them you fool. Kobe did a ton more dark stuff, but that is one simple example. Do you really think God would hoard $600 million dollars and watch the money grow...while millions die and could be saved with that money? You are a fool and feel sorry for anyone who listens to your advice on God.
@Joseph Babica yes it was , I didn't feel it, pure screaming, they could have gotten somebody better don't get me wrong Hudson can sing, but this performance I did not feel it, Rest in peace kobe and Gia
I listen to it about 20 times a month +. No lie. When someone is heavy on my heart or bad news pops up this song just does all the things for me. The prayer binds that thang in the end!
@@rowangraves7327 Hmm I didn't find Mr. Porter's rendition but I did find Nat King Cole's rendition, which sounds just like the rendition Donny sang. Thanks for that
Beautiful so Tearfully Beautiful. Kobe and Gianna were ‘like Father, like Daughter’.One in the same. So beautiful.God bless you Vanessa. God bless all living souls involved. God bless the souls that have left so suddenly to another STEP. I don’t know y’all but somehow I love y’all ( like father, like son. Like father, like daughter). It’s an old saying. ... for the ones who don’t know
💨💨💨Yes I remember that Chicago had a BLACK OUT during that time that people couldn’t vote for Jennifer instead Fantasia won. They both are good singers 🎉
Beautiful & heartfelt dedication. She did them justice and blessed us with the opportunity to feel the pain & loss that we truly have suffered in this world. Thanks J HUD. Rest in Power 24 & Gigi.
Our Father which art in Heaven hollowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done......Amen... 🙌🏽❤️😭 Rest In Heaven to all the precious lives lost on that tragic day. Ms. Hudson, thank you for such a powerful, heart felt tribute
U know she was thinking about her relatives she lost. Whew...the tears yo...RIP to ALL of our lost friends and family we miss you every second of every day
One of the most emotional and beautiful tributes I’ve seen.. the tears the emotion the heartbreak.. forever in my heart Kobe/Gigi 💜💛 edit: I cannot stop listening to this song, it perfectly captures everything my heart is going though. For everything Jennifer has been through, for her to do this, there’s just no words to describe how I feel. Jennifer, thank you so much for this. I cry every time I hear this. I hope she knows how much this meant to the world.
It’s been a year and still watching Jennifer Hudson crying 😢 now ... this lady has been through a lot and yet she manages to console others in their most hurtful time . God bless you Jenni Huds.
Can't put into words how this tribute has touched my soul. When someone sings and touches you pass your physical being, that's powerful. To think of what she has been through herself, the emotions of how raw this still is, the loss of such a giant, as well as all the other families. No words. She blessed my entire being with this tribute. Thank you Jennifer.
She used her gift which I'm sure has comforted her on other occasions to express the depth of her soul to those she's lost. RIP to those on the other side, watch over us, and keep the night from lasting too long.
Humans are the only species capable of fighting back gods evil. Hunger, fear, suffering, and death are gods creation. Countless quintillions of lives tortured every day in every way in gods psychopathic arena we call the universe
@@TasteMyStinkholeAndLikeIt Your statement is incorrect and makes me sad for you. God is not to blame. The sin nature of man is. God, Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior is who we turn to in times like these. I hope you can find someone to talk to about how you feel. Check out a good Bible study in a Baptist or Evangelical Church that focuses on God's Word using the King James Bible. You might find 700 club or some different programs on cable like TBN interesting and comforting. In times like these it is difficult to understand the whys. Knowledge of God's word and other people's testimony can give you HOPE and LOVE back in your life. God Bless you 🦋♥️🕊
@@aquadesignsbymlt4769 she's loss,she's needs some Spiritual help.Lord have mercy and help her In spirit and truth..Deliver her my God,my delivers. In JESUS'S name Amen
This is the best vocal performance I’ve ever seen her give. Not too much screaming. Far more control than she’s every shown. Jennifer usually screams a lot. She did very well here.
Keep in mind she wasn’t the winner of idol . Sometimes what god has in store for you is bigger than what you expect
Wasn’t it down between her and Fantasia?
@@adb8003 No, actually. She placed seventh.
their batch was the hardest to judge in my opinion, having her, latoya, fantasia, diana, jasmine, george and the others. they all give different flavors.
Exactly
And she's an Oscar Winner
Her voice is definitely in the category of the Arethas, Patti, Gladys, Whitney & Chaka. Just amazing.
No its not.....she's good but not that good.
Well she was chosen to play Aretha so someone thought that she is that good
Aretha herself before she died chose her.

After Chakas performance tonight imma pass. Not sure what she was flying on that night but naw...
She knows the pain of losing multiple family members at once.
Right
It very much gave that 💯
Actually that day was her brother birthday as well so she truly connected to the pain of loss.

@@janeknight6526 Weak reply....Kobe let millions of people die since he would not use his money to even feed them you fool. Kobe did a ton more dark stuff, but that is one simple example.
Do you really think God would hoard $600 million dollars and watch the money grow...while millions die and could be saved with that money?
You are a fool and feel sorry for anyone who listens to your advice on God.
This song is dedicated to all those we
lost this year. “For some tomorrow may never come” Rest In Heaven 💔
😢
That was well said.
Lord in heaven that voice!!! The definition of emotion! If that performance didn’t make you feel something than you’re dead inside.
Cried from the start.
@Joseph Babica yes it was , I didn't feel it, pure screaming, they could have gotten somebody better don't get me wrong Hudson can sing, but this performance I did not feel it, Rest in peace kobe and Gia
Elizabeth Mehmedovic your last name is bosnian,Are you?
Lord this had me BAWLING😭😭😭
The performance of a lifetime. An artist may be able to tap into that emotion but once. Maybe never. Tears. Just tears.
Wow! She really messed me up with this performance. She meant it and you felt it ❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I truly can’t count how many times I’ve listen to this Amazing tribute.. 😫😢❤️
Me too! There is something so powerful and mesmerizing about it that keeps me coming back! 😫
It's truly amazing
I listen to it about 20 times a month +. No lie. When someone is heavy on my heart or bad news pops up this song just does all the things for me. The prayer binds that thang in the end!
Me too...it is a flawless tribute! Truly magnificent 👏
it’s beautiful ❤️
Omg 😪😪😪😪. She's sanging the h--l out of this Donny Hathaway song..such a beautiful song and tribute
Actually, it's a Cole Porter tune
@@rowangraves7327 Hmm I didn't find Mr. Porter's rendition but I did find Nat King Cole's rendition, which sounds just like the rendition Donny sang. Thanks for that
Here I am 2024. Still coming back to this wonderful singing and still not believing this happened and not believing what happened in all of 2020.
Her voice is unreal. Great tribute
Beautiful so Tearfully Beautiful. Kobe and Gianna were ‘like Father, like Daughter’.One in the same. So beautiful.God bless you Vanessa. God bless all living souls involved. God bless the souls that have left so suddenly to another STEP. I don’t know y’all but somehow I love y’all ( like father, like son. Like father, like daughter). It’s an old saying. ... for the ones who don’t know
Alex Keith but they were father and daughter...
Well you know the old saying ‘like father, like son’?? This is like father, like daughter
Alex Keith oh I get what you mean
Uh, they WERE father and daughter
Anthony Campos bro it’s like the old saying (like father, like son).
She went through it all, she knows the pain she sang from the heart ❤
Her voice is otherworldly. Amazing.. RIP Kobe & GIGI
WOW. Talk about nailing a performance, she put everything into that. RIP to all on that flight. Kobe, you're a legend mate.
@Justin Johnson enjoy the temporary rush?
@@coughpillbox748 😂🤣😂🤣
She may not be winner of American Idol but she got a voice that is winner to all of us to listen too
💨💨💨Yes I remember that Chicago had a BLACK OUT during that time that people couldn’t vote for Jennifer instead Fantasia won. They both are good singers 🎉
No singer of any American Idol can beat this. Not even Fantasia can beat this
Her voice went to heaven while we stayed on earth. So felt the anguish and release in her beautiful voice. Thank you Jennifer Hudson.
She's had to do so many tributes to so many people.
Because she's got the heart and talent to step up to the plate and hit a home run!
Right????? Have you seen the one she payed to Aretha Franklin? I sweated so much and had to much chills. There's no one like her
@@valeriebaptista1181 what’s the name of the song she singing?
@@purplepassion645 its a song by Donnie Hathaway.
@@aissataamardeil-conde6711 I was ugly crying watching Aretha Franklin's funeral.
She’s absolutely unbelievable singer,absolutely brilliant performance,so emotional ❤
Bro so good it made me think is this pre recorded? Im sure its not but thats just how flawless it was.
Jennifer Hudson is one of the greatest, and so professional, there is no one better to sing a tribute.
Still in disbelief. ..😢😢😢😢Lord have mercy 😢😢😢😢
I know 😭🙏🙏🙏
Who else is sitting by themselves, listening to this and crying while imagining scenarios 💔
this is me rn
Beautiful & heartfelt dedication. She did them justice and blessed us with the opportunity to feel the pain & loss that we truly have suffered in this world. Thanks J HUD. Rest in Power 24 & Gigi.
@Lovely_Day shut ya stupid ass up
I was cool until they showed pics of him and the baby. Lost it. Totally lost it. 😢
same
Yea.
Me too 😢
Me too then saw her sing again broke down omg
When she added the Lord's Prayer 😭
Goosebumps from this voice. RIP Kobe, Gigi, and those who lost their lives that tragic day. Live in eternal peace.
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Our Father which art in Heaven hollowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done......Amen... 🙌🏽❤️😭 Rest In Heaven to all the precious lives lost on that tragic day. Ms. Hudson, thank you for such a powerful, heart felt tribute
Amen
Jennifer Hudson representing like always. She blew up it out the water. Best female singer, hands down. RIP KOBE ❤️❤️❤️❤️⚰️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have no words for how Jennifer moves me. It's not over signing EVER with her. Absolutely Earth shaking.
Still can't believe he's gone with his GiGi! Thank you, Jennifer, for honoring them in such a special way! They were too young to leave us.
She smoked this! RIP Kobe, Gigi, and the other lives lost in the crash 🥺
YASSSSSSSS 💜💛
She gives the best memorial tributes ever....🥺
U know she was thinking about her relatives she lost. Whew...the tears yo...RIP to ALL of our lost friends and family we miss you every second of every day
I nearly lost it when she sang at Michael Jackson's funeral.
One of the most emotional and beautiful tributes I’ve seen.. the tears the emotion the heartbreak.. forever in my heart Kobe/Gigi 💜💛
edit: I cannot stop listening to this song, it perfectly captures everything my heart is going though. For everything Jennifer has been through, for her to do this, there’s just no words to describe how I feel. Jennifer, thank you so much for this. I cry every time I hear this. I hope she knows how much this meant to the world.
She is “One of a kind” her voice is Legendary 🙏🏽
Sends chills down my spine 😩❤️
Her singing is so effortless
I expect nothing less from Jennifer Hudson. She always puts her heart into singing. Hopefully she sings at the memorial for this great man.
It’s been a year and still watching Jennifer Hudson crying 😢 now ... this lady has been through a lot and yet she manages to console others in their most hurtful time .
God bless you Jenni Huds.
Can't put into words how this tribute has touched my soul. When someone sings and touches you pass your physical being, that's powerful. To think of what she has been through herself, the emotions of how raw this still is, the loss of such a giant, as well as all the other families. No words. She blessed my entire being with this tribute. Thank you Jennifer.
She used her gift which I'm sure has comforted her on other occasions to express the depth of her soul to those she's lost. RIP to those on the other side, watch over us, and keep the night from lasting too long.
Yes she did!!! Very beautiful! Standing Ovation!!😔😢
Humans are the only species capable of fighting back gods evil. Hunger, fear, suffering, and death are gods creation. Countless quintillions of lives tortured every day in every way in gods psychopathic arena we call the universe
@@TasteMyStinkholeAndLikeIt Your statement is incorrect and makes me sad for you. God is not to blame. The sin nature of man is. God, Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior is who we turn to in times like these. I hope you can find someone to talk to about how you feel. Check out a good Bible study in a Baptist or Evangelical Church that focuses on God's Word using the King James Bible. You might find 700 club or some different programs on cable like TBN interesting and comforting. In times like these it is difficult to understand the whys. Knowledge of God's word and other people's testimony can give you HOPE and LOVE back in your life. God Bless you 🦋♥️🕊
@@aquadesignsbymlt4769 she's loss,she's needs some Spiritual help.Lord have mercy and help her In spirit and truth..Deliver her my God,my delivers. In JESUS'S name Amen
JHUD is a True Vocal Queen!!! She deserves to be more known so much!!!
When she started singing the prayer in Kobe hand was reaching out in his head was bowed my heart shattered 😣
As a modern day female artiste, she’s the closest thing we have to a modern day Whitney Houston; vocally!!!
She has her own lane
This is the best vocal performance I’ve ever seen her give. Not too much screaming. Far more control than she’s every shown. Jennifer usually screams a lot. She did very well here.
cookiejarfam pleas Aretha wasn’t even close to Whitney’s voice..she was The greatest female vocalist we ever had!! And I respect Aretha!!
She instantly reminded me of Young Whitney.
Actually a mixture of whitney and aretha. She's like the offspring of these two great legends.
She looks so beautiful and she did such an amazing job
I do not understand why people dislike this, this is not a normal performance, this is a Lot more !!!
Amazing voice , this is a gift
When she had to restart... I felt that.
You already new it was about to go down....simply amazing
