I was so impressed with your heartfelt care and concern for her. Merry Christmas and your lucky to have been to speak! Did you know that you'd get to speak ahead of time or on the spot? You are so special.
Simon loves her to this day. America voted her out because she was over weight and also when you allow the masses to vote it becomes a popularity contest instead of voting for the right person.
I have heard this song a thousand times I’m sure through out my lifetime,but when I heard this song from Jennifer Hudson it just truly touched my heart and made me cry in a way that brought me closer to my Lord Jesus Christ. She Sang it beautifully.❤I am sure the Lord was smiling from heaven 😊
Hazel Hopkins God Bless you and yours. This is one of my favorite songs, Christmas or otherwise. Ms. Hudson sings it in a way that should move anyone. It does me, and apparently you too. I see that your comment was almost a year ago and here we are coming up on another Christmas. God blesses us with time. May your time be full of love and happiness. In advance, Merry Christmas!
I could watch this version of O Holy Night over and over and over again. Jennifer Hudson gives me chills. She sings with such passion. She has my vote for best version!
So far. I’ve listened to Celine Dion and Mariah’s version’s. Whew. They are all powerful!!! Jennifer gave me chills. LOL. ..a couple of times. Let me go see if Whitney recorded this.
Just heard this for the first time! Sing baby girl ,sing!!! Don’t let anyone take you down. Just sing!! You are beautiful, kind and called to do God’s work!!! Merry Christmas! December 2023
When I hear Jennifer sing this song. I'll fight my tears. And even though I'm not religious, I realize there's more. Whether we call it God Allah or whatever, this song always makes me realize that we have to be good to each other.
God is so good, and we can’t make it without him, if you haven’t excepted Him now is the time, He loves you and waiting with open arms , It called Grace.
The thrill of hope, our weary world is rejoicing! Thank you Jennifer for leading us beautifully in praising our King❣️ we will praise his name forever with you ~ you brought this girl to her knees!🙏
I sang and played this as a child and loved it. Brings shch good memories and faith, which I need and rely on today. You are also are ablessing in my life right now. 🙏✝️💙🎄🎁
Thank God for Jesus! For he is Great and Worthy to be praised. God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels. Thank God for Jesus thew Holy one, Our Savior born in a manger in Bethlehem! Thank God for Jesus. Thank God for his Grace, And we Give thanks unto God for all things, for his mercy endureth forever, Thank you Jesus! Glory to God, Hallelujah!!!
Two singers shouldnt be compared to each other (i.e. Mariah Carey / Jenniffer Hudson). This is a Gospel Song. Every artist has their own voice, their own story and their own expression and unique sound. I wouldn't compare Luther Vandross to James Brown, neither Stevie Wonder to either as each are unique in their sound. But they are all BLESSED with their talent. Well done Jennifer. Just played it (first song of the day to get my day started) and have to say.. i feel a beautiful sense of calm after hearing. Blessings
I love this version the most . Mariah's version is beautifull too until she starts those high pitch notes . This song give's me inner peace . Not the lyrics but her performance is so strong so beautifull so powerfull . Bý the way I believe religion is the root of all evil .
I agree with you. I just commented on a different thread where I said that although I think Mariah's version was better, imo. I also stated I would love to hear Jennifer do this in the studio because you can't really compare studio to non-studio. Now let's say for one moment that Jennifer does it in studio and can't do it better....AND! Let's hear Mariah do "and I am telling you" studio, live, at the bottom of the ocean, on the moon I don't care nobody's topping Jennifer or even the other Jennifer LOL you can have two equally gifted singers even in the same genre who can do one song or the other better than the other. Once again, comparing the two versions I've heard I give it to Mariah but overall I would take Jennifer any day.
I agree with every thing you said and the way you said it with grace and truth. Why one voice with another. Just lean back listen and relax your self with good music. Then again what sounds good for you, might not sound good for me. So what??
I look at the comments and am saddened. Music is meant to touch souls combined with the words and meaning it becomes very powerful. This particular song was sung by many, in as many different ways. some I liked, others I loved, and then there was those very few that I wish would have been much longer, because they were so beautiful. I do not expect everyone to love those versions as much as I do, nor will I ridicule them for not loving them as much. I merely wish that you close your eyes, hear the words, and the passion that the artist sings, and that is where you will find the beauty. The beauty of how the artist brings their touch and emotion to the song. This is the season to think about a baby that changed the world that became a man of love....for everyone. Start showing love, for without it we are doomed.
+Tony Hyden Well said, I think we should all forget about the versions (everyone has a favorite, its normal, nothing wrong with that) but the importance lays in the lyrics of these song. Christmas is about having Christ's love and sharing it to everyone else, even your worst enemy!
Innnnnnnnncredible!!!! she represents the beauty in God and how he loves music....God truly continue to bless her and her sister...her voice so we get to enjoy it again since losing Whitney Michael Luther and Prince....
This song brings tears to my eyes every time. I've lost both my parents very close together I'm 37 and I feel so alone. Life will never be the same again. Loneliness is the worst feeling in the world. Music is my comfort 😔 Jennifer Hudson is a joy x
Merry Christmas Claire! May the love, joy and peace of God fill your heart at all times. And may God bless you with amazing friends and your own family. May you never walk alone in Jesus name. And though across the world from you, if you ever need a friend your age, I'd be here.
I’ve heard the greatest voice that Jennifer Hudson is in the top 20, spot her long time, and since then she has improved tremendously. Enjoy voice is sweet.
Open-minded people don't impose their beliefs on others. They listen, discuss and accept, and continue to live peacefully. Many gifted singers can sing this song meaningfully and beautifully including Miss Jennifer Hudson!
Mariah Carey’s version is best, it’s from the heavens. The soulfulness and emotions she puts into it is crazy. The trills and runs aren’t too much because they perfectly go with the song and vibe and are sung with passion and emotion. Crazy goosebumps every time.
Bravo, Bravo, Bravissimo! Jennifer Hudson is a pure and undistilled talent. Her rendition of 'Oh Holy Nigh' is pitch perfect, in a perfect setting with trained choral accompaniment and real musicians playing real instruments that support her voice as the lead instrument. Jennifer doesn't need to jiggle, bounce, twerk nearly nude with echo, reverb, auto-tune and strobe light distractions to cover the lack of or enhance her talent because she is an incomparable talent. All others are simply entertainers.
Jennifer and Celine do the best versions ever,different ,yet both are stupendous. Both show the awe and adoration for the splendid Holy Night that forever changed the world!
One of the most beautiful songs ever pen. When I think of Jesus coming into the world to save me.. I can't help but thank God. Not just for the season of Christmas but every day I give him glory and honor because He is the Hope of the world.. I love him.. Peace and Good will to you all.
I agree...I remember this song being my favorite song even as a child. It has always touched my heart. Always remember the reason for the season. Thank you Jesus
Jennifer Hudson has one of the best voices that I've heard in my lifetime.
I was one of the kids in the background! I'll never forget this day!
ShaniP1992 that's amazing, I would love to have been there. Such a special memory to have..
You were all so cute!
I was so impressed with your heartfelt care and concern for her. Merry Christmas and your lucky to have been to speak! Did you know that you'd get to speak ahead of time or on the spot? You are so special.
So touching....
😇
I’m so glad that she did not listen to Simon, because she knew she had a gift that the world should hear. One of the best voices this day.
I'm curious if Simon ever admitted that she is Truly Heavenly Blessed
Simon put her through. America voted her off because she was overweight
I love u Jennifer ❤
Simon loves her to this day. America voted her out because she was over weight and also when you allow the masses to vote it becomes a popularity contest instead of voting for the right person.
Absolutely gorgeous Jennifer your gift is surely from the ALMIGHTY GOD. IN THE NAME OF JESUS
I have heard this song a thousand times I’m sure through out my lifetime,but when I heard this song from Jennifer Hudson it just truly touched my heart and made me cry in a way that brought me closer to my Lord Jesus Christ. She Sang it beautifully.❤I am sure the Lord was smiling from heaven 😊
Can you just close your eyes and imagine that amazing night 🌙 ✨️! There's Something About the Name Jesus! Lord have mercy!🙏🏾
Such an excellent rendition of my all time favorite Christmas carol
Praise him! ❤
I am crying as I listen to this song. He, Jesus came for me a sinner. Let us all who know him fall on our knees and give him Glory
Hazel Hopkins God Bless you and yours. This is one of my favorite songs, Christmas or otherwise. Ms. Hudson sings it in a way that should move anyone. It does me, and apparently you too.

MY girl Jennifer Hudson killed it effortlessly of course. She's one of the best vocalists in the WORLD.
Xmas is not the same without these beautiful songs
I have loved this girl since her American Idol days. An amazing voice.. God bless you Jennifer ⚘
Me too. I actually boycotted American Idol after Simon let her go.
Absolutely Beautiful!
Even as a child this was one of my favorite songs!!!!
👍👍👍👍
Wow, this woman has a voice of pure gold.
definitely. :)
This song reigns supreme. Jennifer you are just an incredible talent an angels voice. Bless you
Outstanding! What a gift she has, a God given gift!
I am an atheist but I can't help admiring this song. It evokes such emotion and hope, beautiful piece of music!
Me, too, Becky! I enjoy a lot of holiday songs, even gospel songs. They have some of the best singers!
that's a beautiful thing for you to say.
Becky Barnes same here. i still love holiday songs like this one even though i am not religious.
on another note gospel singers are the bomb.
Same with me, BB. Psst- this composer also wrote a great ballet. Sorry I cannot spring it on you.
Becky Barnes Then she did her job .. it's supposed to move and stir something inside you... just because your atheist doesn't mean you don't FEEL....
I respect Jennifer Hudson because she comes back to "The Hood" and help people, GOD bless her.
Beautiful voice
Outstanding vocals Truly Blessed and Highly Favored by God!
This is my favorite Christmas song and she sings it masterfully!!
I could watch this version of O Holy Night over and over and over again. Jennifer Hudson gives me chills. She sings with such passion. She has my vote for best version!
So far. I’ve listened to Celine Dion and Mariah’s version’s. Whew. They are all powerful!!! Jennifer gave me chills. LOL. ..a couple of times. Let me go see if Whitney recorded this.
Have you heard David Phelp's version?
Goosies ....all over...amazing...timeless...effortless......whoa...Jennifer....
She sounds beautiful. Check out Smokey Norful.
Yes Essence
I like Jennifer's voice and the way she's handled her career. Very admirable...
A true musical artist, that handled fame like a gift 👍
jennifer has the best voice and just belts it out effortlessly. She is an amazing talent.
I feel like this was written for her. The power jn her voice fits, and so does the sweeter, more gentle tone
Jennifer is just blessed with one of the best voices in this lifetime!!!
Just heard this for the first time! Sing baby girl ,sing!!! Don’t let anyone take you down. Just sing!! You are beautiful, kind and called to do God’s work!!! Merry Christmas! December 2023
To be touched by music is to be touched by the divine. This is pure proof. God Bless
That song always takes me to heaven 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🙏
ME too! I cry from my heart. Tears of joy and gratitude.
It may have been 11 years ago but the anointing is still powerful!
Blessed with a melodious voice and melody 💙 ❤️
Can we just pause for a second and appreciate how those babies spoke so highly of Jennifer! That's the type of love we need more of in this world 😊❤
She has a beautiful yet strong voice!
When I hear Jennifer sing this song. I'll fight my tears. And even though I'm not religious, I realize there's more.
Whether we call it God Allah or whatever, this song always makes me realize that we have to be good to each other.
I listened to it about 5am this morning... and at 8pm, I'm back and feeling the closeness to Jesus.
Her skin is beautiful!
Yes she has a lovely complexion and she is a pretty woman too.
This rendition is one of the most beautiful I have heard, She sang from her heart and did not try to showboat and it had be on my knees and crying.
Wow...what a voice❤❤❤
God is so good, and we can’t make it without him, if you haven’t excepted Him now is the time, He loves you and waiting with open arms , It called Grace.

This is such a beautiful song describing the night our savior was born. Gives me chill bumps every time i hear it!
Beautifully sung, and an incredible song that never gets old. But why do people skip the more powerful second verse?
Why!!!!!!!😢
Yes!!!!
11/30/2023 I woke up with this song on my mind. I searched TH-cam for a an artist I like and found it sung by an artist I love.
Her voice truly represents the love of God to his people! Thank-you Lord for using her to sing.
Love her voice
that baby at the end said I'll pray for her how precious I hope she got to see that part

She performed this song, making it appear seemingly effortless! Powerful vocal artistry!!!
An angelic voice dwells among humankind!
Amazing song. J. Hudson breaths life into it. What a voice.
Simply beautiful!!
Two singers shouldnt be compared to each other (i.e. Mariah Carey / Jenniffer Hudson). This is a Gospel Song. Every artist has their own voice, their own story and their own expression and unique sound. I wouldn't compare Luther Vandross to James Brown, neither Stevie Wonder to either as each are unique in their sound. But they are all BLESSED with their talent. Well done Jennifer.

Marvelous and True response here
Mariah's version especially the First in 1994 is recognized as the best version ever and the Golden Standard. It's untouchable and unmatchable

SO VERY BEAUTIFUL. I hate that she’s so underrated, like her voice is so freaking powerful and moving. Idk how she does it but she wows me every time.
EXTREMELY OUTSTANDING!!!!...THIS GIRL CAN CARRY THE MAIL.....WIsh she would sing more gospel...🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🖐🏽🖐🏽🖐🏽🖐🏽🖐🏽🖐🏽

This song brings tears to my eyes every time. I've lost both my parents very close together I'm 37 and I feel so alone. Life will never be the same again. Loneliness is the worst feeling in the world. Music is my comfort 😔 Jennifer Hudson is a joy x
That is so kind. Thank you :)
I'm sorry to hear that. I hope things are a little better and you are feeling stronger.
I am, thank you x
Claire just remember you are never alone. I hope you have a great holiday season.
Merry Christmas Claire! May the love, joy and peace of God fill your heart at all times. And may God bless you with amazing friends and your own family. May you never walk alone in Jesus name.

I love her voice. She sings with such passion.
Wonderful, fall on your knees, give God the praise.

Thank you for your wisdom. God bless you.
This is one of the best renditions of this song. Holy Spirit goosebumps. Her vocals are so clear as crystal.
I love Jeniifer Hudson...I love how she performs...I love how she puts herself in her songs without you realizing what she is really doing.
Beautiful JHUD . She has a beautiful strong voice
my favorite version of O Holy Night! 😍😍😍
This is the best version of this song i have ever heard. Well sang . not overdone BEAUTIFULLY DONE . JENNIFER HUDSON YOU ARE THE BEST
Better than Mahalia Jackson?

SHE GOT A BEAUTIFUL VOICE..AMEN
The way she sings this makes me want to be born again-again... There are many talents in this world but she was annointed to sing this song!
OMG, this is amazing... I got chills... when I heard this. The most beautiful interpretation of this song I EVER heard!!!
Bravo, Bravo, Bravissimo!
Jennifer Hudson is a pure and undistilled talent. Her rendition of 'Oh Holy Nigh' is pitch perfect, in a perfect setting with trained choral accompaniment and real musicians playing real instruments that support her voice as the lead instrument.

There is nothing in my life that I do as well as she sings. This completely talent-less guy stands in awe of her gift.
Truly Beautiful ❤️💚

We need more Love in this world. Hate only leads to hate.

306 miserable people..I mean damn it's a beautiful Christmas song sung by a gorgeous lady that has endured a lot in life .
This is my favorite Christmas song, and Ms. Hudson sings perfectly!
Hallelujah
That voice takes my breath away! Simply Amazing.. WOW!
Jennifer Hudson always sangs her face off!!
The best version of this: me in the shower. I hit notes unheard by mankind.
Matews Tomaz KSKKSKSKSKSKSKS
LOL!
Lol unheard of indeed.
Matews Tomaz :naw you have never heard MY pipes....🎤🎤🎤🎤🤬🤬🤬🤬
Always a bridesmaid never a bride huh
My favorite song, Christmas or otherwise,... When Miss Hudson sings it, it is something otherworldly. This is what Angels sound like I bet...
It is never about music when your singing about God It is always about God When your singing about God so all music about God is good Music!
