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
J Hudson stood up there and relied on nothing but talent. she did that
Yes she did .WOW
God was with her.
Give GOD the Glory
Her gifts and talents are from above. To the MOST HIGH GOD BE THE GLORY
@@Woo_sAH0903 He was
@@marlomills6800 Amen 🙏🏻 Amen We are nothing without God guiding us !
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.

I know I'm late on this comment, but no one in the world in my opinion signs like jhud.
I would put Jennifer Hudson in the category of the legends and the greats. Right up there with Whitney Huston
Yep
No doubt about it ..you can't debate that...
She is amazing!
I agree I just think she needs that
‘I will always love you’ song to put her up there !
she is already there.....I almost cried watching this
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.
@@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!!💫💫
After Chakas performance tonight imma pass. Not sure what she was flying on that night but naw...
If there's anyone Vanessa could talk with, about her tragic loss, it would be Jennifer Hudson. Jennifer lost her whole family at one time!
Brittany Bell, she could help Vanessa out with that too heal🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺💔
You're So Right..She most certainly did.🙏🏼
YESSSSSS YOU NAILED IT!!🙋🙌🙌
Brittany Bell you are correct BB Queen!!
Very true she could talk to
Jhud. But I'm sure the lost of child is much different.
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
Beautiful ❤️ JHud
So AGREE
FACTS
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.
Name's music please
For all we know Donny Hathaway
The fact that she didn’t break and made her way is something I admire her for. Love you, Jennifer, you are my hero!
It was her nephew, not her brother.
@@lakeemamoore5290 Her mother, brother, and nephew were all murdered at the same time. The day she did this tribute was her late brother’s birthday.
She manages to sound powerful, emotional and controlled without NO oversinging at all. A true vocalist.
For once. She is extra EVERY TIME. GLAD she knew deaths were a cut off to not to try be center of attention.
Programmed to perfection.
A gift from the most high ♥️
@@shimmerlite5820 not really stop hating on her style of stuff she has a natural talent and she uses it
@@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!!
She sang this as if she was singing directly to her mother and family who was murdered.
So heartfelt
Shonta Taylor it was her brother’s birthday
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.
That’s is what I said
This is not singing, this is SANGIN and trust me, there’s a HUGE difference. ❤
Amen!❤
This still gets me emotional
Yes, this is sanging!! J hud voice was given by JESUS! J hud is humble with her gift! And she does not play around with it! She understands the gift from JESUS! And that is the secret of her awesome voice! Simply honoring JESUS!
She doesn't get half the accolades she deserves, she just doesn't sing, she has a gift. God bless you sister
I don't think people realize just how GREAT this was.........WOW.
Pure Elegance🙌🌺

Amazing!
I Dooooo, 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
This IS an all time performance
She is our generations Aretha Franklin
Amen🙌
No need for flashy, skin tight costumes to distract from the reason that one listens to her in the first place.
Yes! You are correct.
Indeed........
😒😒😒😒😒😒
She sang the hell of this song, I come back to this video from time to time! Hallelujah!!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾
Yesss she did!! I’m in tears. ❤❤❤❤🙏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I"m here in 2024 crying listening to her sing that song.
Me too! Like right now!😢
No band, no stems, no back up singers, no tracks! Just amazing singing
No, cussing words , no , depiction of drugs , guns. Absolute talent! 💯
@@jefffrei4671 frr
You can hear the band tho. The piano, the violin etc
She sang her heart out and held it in her palm.
She went through something horrible and knows the pain and the loss .
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!
To say that I ‘hear’ how incredible this is, isn’t accurate. I ‘feel’ how incredible this is. The most touching tribute.
I agree. 💙❤️🖤🤍
Well said brother. 💜🙏🏾
So so true ❤
Who watch this more then once 🙋🏿♂️
2 times is much I just really felt that you can't watch with out 😢
@Tone, and forwarding.
🖐🏽
I did so touching, it touches your heart, this hurts so much 😪
I just couldn't😭
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.
Well not the pilot they are now finding evidence that it was the pilots fault
Only the soul knows
@@karinjoy6949 even the pilot he had a soul as well and it was an accident. May he also rip.
Amen
Jan Hilliman 🙏🏿
Jennifer's voice carries the Spirits of all of our Ancestors... SO DEEPLY SPIRITUAL 💕.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER..
such a great description!
Amen
it carries the holy spirit in her voice, not just her ancestors
She sings like someone who truly knows loss and grief first hand.
She does
To lose multiple family members at once has to be the most painful thing imaginable.
In my hometown an entire family of four was killed by a drunk driver.
So tragic 😢
She does she lost her whole family
She has always put herself in her performances, but this is BY FAR the best.
That performance sang to your soul, chills all through your body
Amen. Amen,++
Its separates her from the rest...interpretation
Absolutely. Donny Hathaway is proud of the way she sang his song
Because she went through that pain
Now that's a sangerrr!! I just remembered that she also lost several family members tragically. Touching performance!
👌👆❤❤❤
Yes, unfortunately she did. She lost them in Chicago, which is where she is from.
So much beauty from so much pain. She's truly amazing.
Very true.
And ant sang for them yet!
Don’t know why this has not reached 10 million likes. Hands down the best tribute given to Kobe👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Good point.😎 Just keep in mind there are several clips of this outstanding performance.
Yes, it is the best tribute to koby & GiGi given by The Queen Of Soul, Jennifer Hudson
I can’t believe I’m just watching this. I had no idea about this tribute this is beautiful.
I’m can’t believe I’m watching this 6mths later than your comment. And I’m balling especially after this year
Same
@@musicistherapy1 Same! It is so much Emotion. Perfection!
Right!!
like i’m embarrassed i didn’t see any of them. i just watched beyoncés
she did him so much justice.
Yes she did
When she sung Amen...you know it was a way of saying we just have to accept God's plans...even when it's not what we want..
Agreed... blessings 🙂
@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🙌🙏😇
Omg AJ HOW CLEMENTINE... u guyz doin well
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
@@romandavidovich754 okay? You have a nice one lol
This song got so much power in it. When she got to "Our Father In Heaven", I just burst into tear immediately. So Powerful!!!!!!!!!!!
Everyone was breaking down at that point
Give pple their flowers while they can still smell them😩❤, this woman is a Legend guys, dare I say she is the Whitney Houston of this generation ❤❤🥺
She is!
She’s singing from a place of relatable pain, beautiful.
Who she lost?
@@matheuslanerre2895 her mom, brother and nephew all on the same day Oct 2008. This performance was on her brother's birthday 😢
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.
James Z. Williams yes Lord such a beautiful rendition
Yes. Jennifer knows what pain and loss feels like. She lost her mom, nephew and brother.
Awsome awsome
So true. She knows the pain!
@@tylerhackner9731 It was also her brother's birthday.
I come back to listen to this from time to time, and her voice touches me everytime😥
Ikr
Me too!
Me too💜💜🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Me too at least once a year
Me too , I love me some JHud💕💕
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 think she was singing to her family & the ones she has already lost too.
Agree it was her murdered brother's birthday that same day
Jennifer is a pure vocalist, simply stunning.
3:50 to 4:40 if you don't get chills, tear up, or full fledge cry...you're not human! 😔
Started at the beginning!!!!😭
The best part 😭😭😭😭
This is “The Part” I always return to.
She literally left earth and ascended to something higher 😢
What a massive singer she is. The depth of voice and emotion is extraordinary. What a gift.
She snapped! Extremely underrated......most slept on, powerful voice there is in this era & beyond
Right extremely slept smh
One of the greatest singers of all time.
If anyone can relate to this pain it's Jennifer. :( Girl has been through so much.
I said the same thing. Prayers be with us all.
She had her family killed for fame n fortune
God's evil touches everyone.
Hunger, fear, suffering, and death are the only essential elements of life.
Exactly and so can I also Jennifer and I was born in Chicago
@@toesand1992 she actually not that famous or rich. Still not an household name which is hard to believe.
Coming here since Chadwick’s passing. Rip Black Panther🤎🤴🏾 & Black Mamba. 🖤🐍
my heart hurts. 💔
The sad part he was in the audience 😭
Wow! She really messed me up with this performance. She meant it and you felt it ❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
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
To much yelling I couldn't even finish it hurt my ears way to extra 🤷♀️
@@kmix7928 well.. It's the most beautiful yelling I've heard.
People are very biased and if it was Beyonce the like would have being more
Just reading your message touch me.
The original song or song and played by Donny Hathaway. One of the greats
When she started singing the Lords Prayer though, I felt that in my soul!
She went through it all, she knows the pain she sang from the heart ❤
Who else is sitting by themselves, listening to this and crying while imagining scenarios 💔
this is me rn
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. 💔💜💛
Amen ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
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.
I pray they release this to buy or download
3:49 she took it to another level. Absolutely awesome.
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
ONE OF MY FAVORITE PARTS
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
I'm so sorry. My prayers are with you and your family. God's Blessings
🖤 send you so much love
❤️❤️ your loved my child
May the Most High Bless You.
God Bless you. Condolences to you and your family. Stay strong.
This song is dedicated to all those we
lost this year. “For some tomorrow may never come” Rest In Heaven 💔
😢
That was well said.
R.I.P. to Kobe and Gianna and Jennifer Hudson’s brother Jason, mom and nephew Julian 😥😥💔
TheChronicDocumentary DreGame and Jennifer’s 7 year old nephew Julian who was also murdered 🙏🏾
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.
@@sandrao6837 I have the same fears
Sandra O hopefully there’s a place where we go where we can see and be with our loved ones after our time on earth ❤️
@kevin w thanks for sharing this.❤️
Between Jennifer Hudson's voice & the pictures of Kobe & Gigi.
I'm just done!
Yess
😭💔
Same .. 💔💔
Yessssssssssss flowing a river😢♥️🔥
@@GlamGail still crying over this 😢
She gives the best memorial tributes ever....🥺
I’ve lost count on the amount of rewinds from this tribute. Gave God his Glory and not one person on here can say they didn’t shed a tear. Anointed young Sister right here.😔
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
Y'all know Fantisa voice is better!
@@00ooo000 NOT sorry Fantasia is very good but she is no Jennifer
You are out of your mind...Fantasia is no Jennifer Hudson...Watching Jennifer sing is almost like watching a powerful movie...She is soul stirring!
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.
@@demarcusmcquirter Thats why she did not win, this performance was horrible!
Her voice is unreal. Great tribute
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.
Goosebumps from this voice. RIP Kobe, Gigi, and those who lost their lives that tragic day. Live in eternal peace.
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
The performance of a lifetime. An artist may be able to tap into that emotion but once. Maybe never. Tears. Just tears.
She has a voice from the Heaven and must be in so much pain singing this to Kobe and Gigi and her mothers and nephew. RIP LEGEND!😭😭😭💔💔💔
And her brother
Amazingggggg
Ava Williams yes
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
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.
Why doesn’t this have millions of views? Why isn’t this trending?
It definitely should🙏🙏
I alone have watched it a few dozen. Huge Kobe fan, love Donny Hathaway and this song plus Jennifer was excellent
Right!
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
@@makill2321 Beyonce is not even close to Jennifer's vocal abilities in my opinion. But sometimes she's overdoing it.
She is definitely the best voice we have in this country living today.
Yes and so underrated
agree
Mateo not really. She is just basic pop. Hudson is a real musician.
@@PotatoeSnow Shakira? She can't even a sustain a low belt without tension and strain.
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
I have no words for how Jennifer moves me. It's not over signing EVER with her. Absolutely Earth shaking.
The Start of the Lord's Prayer and the run of Amen just breaks me down EVERY time. Wow.
Me too
Absolutely
I listen to it with my eyes closed and it's so powerful.
I still cry every time.
Her voice is otherworldly. Amazing.. RIP Kobe & GIGI
She is “One of a kind” her voice is Legendary 🙏🏽
Sends chills down my spine 😩❤️
This performance is gut wrenching. She's channeling the grief of everyone gathered to pay their respect and say their goodbyes ---Amen
They know to call on Jennifer Hudson
Yesss... Her voice carries the Spirit of all of our ancestors... SO DEEPLY SPIRITUAL 💕.
Wow, Jennifer Hudson is an amazing vocalist. RIP Kobe and Gigi
Yes she does, but I think this was aliitle too much, she should have brought the tone down alittle.
Moe Jr She’s an absolute Vocal Queen!
AC. Are you nutt's? This lady sang her heart out some people just don't get it
@@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.
May God bless you. I believe she was feeling her Lost of her family members also. AC, all is well
This song/tribute is extremely sad but I find myself coming back to it sooooo much....THIS PERFORMANCE IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE 30YRS OF LIFE. WOW.......Jennifer Hudson is literally untouchable and has always been in a league of her own, but this performance......damn.
This a extremely rare occasion where a voice and performance sent chills throughout my body to the point where I couldn’t move. She definitely is one the greatest of all time. Still very sad to see Kobe and the other passengers die so tragically.
🥺 Mannnnnnn, still in disbelief about it all. Salute to Jennifer, she did her thing. Rest in Power 🙏🏽
Man I'm still in shock I just don't believe it
*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.
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😭😭😭
My first time seeing this. My husband passed in June of 2020! The truly has blessed my soul!
💛💛💛
Her voice is so beautiful and she has the most powerful voice the industry has ever seen.
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.
That hit me big at Our Father, who art in heaven. Wow
Totally Wrecked My Emotions and Slammed My ❤ Heart to the floor. 👏 👏 👏 Bravo
I got chills when she said that.She can move mountains with her vocals.
Took my soul straight to heaven
This moment!,
Jen..SANG.. She's in a Class by Herself!!!..
I must have seen this performance over 100 times.
Quite possibly the best live performance from a female artist EVER.
Am South African but I believe with my whole heart that JENNIFER HUDSON is the best singer I've ever had the pleasure to listen to, I dunno any artist with such emotion in their voice. She's definitely in the leagues of Whitney Houston 😩❤❤
I expect nothing less from Jennifer Hudson. She always puts her heart into singing. Hopefully she sings at the memorial for this great man.
Her voice went to heaven while we stayed on earth. So felt the anguish and release in her beautiful voice. Thank you Jennifer Hudson.
I'm still coming here for this video!!!
Singing without a microphone in hand is how you know that this woman was singing from the heart.
Jennifer can blow a roof off any arena with those vocals she is Blessed😪💯
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
Jennifer pay such a beautiful tribute to Kobe Bryant and Gianna Bryant. Lord, Jennifer can pay a beautiful tribute to Kobe and Gianna Bryant. Her voice touches you deep within your soul. Such a moving tribute .
When she started singing the prayer in Kobe hand was reaching out in his head was bowed my heart shattered 😣
When she had to restart... I felt that.
You already new it was about to go down....simply amazing
Jennifer Hudson is one of the greatest, and so professional, there is no one better to sing a tribute.
This is so sad,the way Jenifer is singing this song,Lord have mercy!!!! Rest easy Kobe and Gigi😭😭😭😭😭🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹.
Chills, that breakdown will go down in history ❣️
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 😂🤣😂🤣
Her singing is so effortless
For me, she's the best female vocalist alive. Powerful and sensual ,she transmits so much feelings. I love her!😍
such a powerful performance. still makes me cry ❤️
