I mean, does she even need the microphone?! The power in those lungs could run every major city in the country

[Irishgirl]

She deserves her recent EGOT status. Flawless performance.

Aretha Franklin choose Jhud to play her movie after witnessing this performance. Aretha wanted nobody else. ❤️

Jennifer: magical.
Black Gospel choir: magical.
Oprah Winfrey: magical.
The Obamas: magical. We lived during an awesome era of excellence.

[Kay-yynt]

Jennifer Hudson's voice is so powerful, it would be insulting to have her sing anything that doesn't project her full voice.

[jalynf]

Black women are magical. Point blank period.

[siddharthnaagar]

As Oprah said herself on her show; It's a religious experience hearing Jennifer Hudson sing

[samosullivan]

Why is no one talking about that magical moment when Oprah and Steadman hold each other’s hand? He reaches for her spontaneously, then without a blink she holds her hands out and he instantly grasps them.
I mean how beautiful is that?!!

[carmensusma]

Even a strong woman need someone to hold her hand...

[moudihangula]

When Jennifer sings, she not only tells a story but she makes sure she empties herself on stage. What a moving and captivating performance. I tell you they dont make them like this anymore.

[graciesmalls]

Her singing is timeless. She really gives the best tributes! Highly underrated artist.

[jackk]

Can we just take a moment to realise that this girl came 7th in Americn idol!

[michaelthornton]

oprah's reaction is priceless. she is so overwhelmed.

[benjaminfranklintheth]

She is singing it in a higher key than the original. Jennifer’s vocal range is astounding

[seesha]

This song hits different since God has saved me from depression. Now I proclaim boldly: I AM HERE!!!!🙌🏾

[AndySaenz]

Nobody cares about this anymore, but I’ll never understand how Jennifer Hudson ended up in 7th place on American Idol with a spectacular VOICE like this!

[ulissesoliveira]

Jennifer Hudson definitely has the most powerful voice I've ever heard.

[mariobucci]

Dear Jennifer if your voice was a colour. It would definitely be the colour purple. WOW. BEAUTIFUL.

[kurtsiecolferites]
