One thing I like about Simon is his humility. He often apologies where he gets things wrong. It shows he's also as human as all of us.

Simon was always hated for being 'straight up', yet he was always honest about how HE felt about the moment. You could also count on him to ADMIT his mistakes. That's rare.

She has the spotlight now and well deserved 🎉🏆👏🏻👏🏻

Jennifer is a prime example of God having the last say so. Simon made those cruel comments about her and now he is sitting on her show. This is the a piece of what God can do.❤

Some people are so focused on Simon apologizing, but that rejection is what has taken Jen this far. What wiuld she have become if she had won? We'll never know. Let's move on from that and enjoy her success thus far. She has so much talent and no end to her blessing 💖

[AcidQueen]

I think they are both very sincere in this conversation. Honest, open & respectful. The world needs more of that 👏

I remember the night before elimination, we had a huge storm through Chicago and mid-Illinois. All the power went out and a lot of people could not watch American Idol, let alone vote. When Jennifer was voted off, I felt it was unfair, because her hometown and home state could not vote to support her. But here she is...killing it!!! YEAH!

[debbiebramwell]

Jennifer is one of the most " everything" kind of people. She is just amazing in every way! Who doesn't love her?!

[asiaisreal]

Jennifer Hudson is actually the most successful American Idol contestant

[l.e.brentwood]

The fact that she is so genuinely happy to reconcile with Simon just has me smiling so hard ❣️❤️❣️

[TheSithLord]

Her voice, acting, she can do it all.

[SoBlessedByYou]

I love Jennifer's outlook and wisdom .
She was so right . I love her show Congratulations Jennifer🕊🌿

[overlappingsounds]

I love how she never gave up, and her shock elimination was probably fuel for her to keep going, and some ways got her the attention that she deserved for how talented she was!

[blee]

She may not be an American Idol but she is a WORLD ICON like Kelly Clarkson

[ninaangelique]

Definitely came full circle! Beautiful reunion 🥰✨🥰

[shonaharris]

I absolutely love her attitude. She’s not only ultra-talented, but truly deserves where she is because of who she is.
So sweet Simon brought her flowers 💐.

[JoshuaFazeli]

Simon is so smart. Whoever he is employing to plan giving those flowers to Jennifer to exactly match her outfit deserves a raise.

[nunosoares]

Congrats JHud. You had an incredible and well deserved 18 year career. Reuniting with Simon was the icing on the cake. 😁👍👍🎂

[LuzdoSol]

She is a rare type of singing that her talking alone deserves an award.
Not to mention what happened after her success, what strength of a woman.
