I appreciate Jennifer’s attitude. Simon has a terrible way of saying things but not everything he said was wrong, and I believe she became a better performer in part because of him.

[ColorfulLaws]

You were never out of your league, sweetie. You didn't have to win Simon over. You were destined to be a star!!!🥰

The world needs more Jennifer. She’s so strong after all she’s been thru

[reneegordon]

She took the high road with Simon and held on to her confidence! Good for her! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I love seeing the softer side of Simon. Great for you Jennifer.

I truly believe that Simon having a child of his own really softened his heart! He became more caring, sympathetic, and has more empathy towards others! I've watched other episodes of American idol since Jennifer Hudson, and you can see the difference in the way he judges ! He's still Simon, but with a much more Beautiful heart.

Dare I say it, but J. Hud is more successful than the other 6 singers that made it further than her on AI! She’s an EGOT winner, sold millions of records worldwide, and now she’s got her own talk show! She’s living proof that you don’t have to win on these talent shows to make it big in the music industry!

I'm so proud of Jennifer...she left American Idol and became more famous than the show! The singing at the end of the show made me cry

[fitzy-jackgeorge]

Simon said “no one ever asked me to be on these shows so this is big for me” Awww!! 😊❤ 😊❤

[gogakushayemi]

Simon is blunt and brutal, but he is honest. I remember when JHud went out at number 7 in Idol. Was like HOWWW!?!?!? But honestly, I think not winning idol did her good. She is bigger than most of the winners now.

Jennifer Hudson is definitely one of the best singers in our time

[prisca]

Simon is one person that if you understand him, you'll enjoy him forever. He pretends to be mean but he is one of the most kind hearted ❤️ human being on earth...

[Josh-Stewart]

I love how sweet and caring she is to her audience and involved in them having a good time at the show.. she is inspirational 💙

[enitachipoyi]

Simon almost tearing up mentioning he is grateful to be. called to someone's show aww

[prrbb]

Simon Was maybe wrong on his ways but his words were full of wisdom that fortunately helped Jennifer becoming the Star she is today.

[sophiew]

She has improved as a singer so much over the yrs

[keilajackson-anderson]

The way he talked about his child warmed my heart.

[only_faced_themovie]

I love how she kept a positive attitude
Simon lost

Dear J Hud
Don’t let the Voice die
Never… ❤😭👌🏾
Gawd bless ya 4 ever

I still cannot believe JHud did not win that show! However she is lucky to have not because she would have been locked into doing records for them at that time and might not have the opportunity to do Dreamgirls! Things happen for a reason ☺️
