@@Alexi7666 she said beforehand that Jon and Stephen where her singers (backup or main). It’s music it doesn’t matter as long as the sound is pure and joyful.
Honestly, just about any time there have been musical acts on the Late Show, they have been pretty great ones. Letterman loved having special musical segments.
Jennifer is very multi-talented . Congratulations to her for her success. Terrible tragedy that happened to her family. It was great to see George from that season singing backup with Jennifer on Good Morning America and also Davion who was on Jennifer's team on The Voice . I thought Latoya London was very talented and hope to see her do more music. Diana was also a great singer I've seen Fantasia perform live several times and she is an amazing singer and performer.
Jon Batiste is so genuinely thrilled to work with other musicians and singers that the audience can't help but love it too. He's amazingly talented in his own right, yet his ego is never on stage with him. Stephen made a brilliant decision when he chose Jon and Stay Human as his show's band. Jon never fails to impress. We need more Jon Batistes in this world in every field and discipline.
@@drew3093 huh? Are you paying attention to what Jon and band are doing? Very different than John Legend (who is talented in his own right). Jon Batiste is a Juilliard graduate and has played in so many styles with so many people. You don’t get or hold onto a late night bandleader gig if you’re not incredibly talented as well as consistent.
@@drew3093 Sit down son, you have no idea who Jon Batiste is and how talented he is. Just because you dont know who he is does not mean he is not as talented as more popular artists. Jon is not as big a name as Jon Legend because he is niche in jazz music, where as Legend is more into popular genres. I cant believe someone actually would say Jon Batiste is just a hyped man. The dude has an Oscar, Golden Globe, and Lifetime Achievement award for Jazz. PERHAPS you confuse talent with popular.
@@rasaecnai There is, I think, a requirement for at least one comment from some puffed up know-it-all (number required may vary depending on total number of comments). You've just dealt with this one quite handily. Thanks.
Stephen was in a Sondheim musical. You have to be able to sing for that. Have you never seen his performances on the show with Anna Kendrick, or James Corden, etc.?
I swear Stephen has the best band in late night. The way they all effortlessly joined in on Jennifer’s piano playing and were all so in tune without even saying a word, I mean come on.
I think the Roots have them on improv and agility, but Jon’s band is not far behind. And that is saying a lot, because the Roots were a touring band for perhaps decades before they were on late night.
There wasn't a band on late night that wouldn't be able to join in on that song, not saying this band isn't great but come on, all of those bands are comprised professional musicians
@@Ishai1 I agree (to a degree). When you have the chance, look up some of the cool stuff the Roots can do that other bands generally can’t. They’re outrageously agile-can play pretty much anything with no notice-it’s kinda crazy. So I was giving Jon’s band mad props for being in the same general area as the Roots. I really (really) respect the Roots. 😊
what better way to celebrate Aretha Franklin than to share her music! Props to the band too! The music just flowed when she started playing. So much talent right there!
@@rasaecnai I'm late to the Jennifer is an amazing artist fan club so to learn about her and the relationship she had with Aretha probably added to my emotional response.
I agree. She have one of those voices that will cause you to cry. Because you can literally feel what she is singing, and it REALLY penetrate your heart.
Same! I was impressed by the whole thing, especially Steven cobert's part! I told my husband to watch it "He sings like an angel! Steven -Cobert- the songbird!" ❤️❤️❤️
Until his falsetto solo bit at the end, I'd forgotten that Stephen had had a music background back in the day. Gotta confess a bit of jealousy at him being able to hit those notes.
I could actually hear the difference between "singing from your head" ans "singing from your feet" - This was both great entertainment AND instructional!
I love how she's a bit apprehensive to play the piano in front of Jon.., "Jon don't look at me" and then she plays just fine! aawwww! this was amazing, she is a true talent and I'm glad to have seen this this morning.
Colbert's backing vocals for Jon were beautifully done. He kept out of the way and supported Jon quite well. That is more impressive to me than belting it out.
After this performance, Mr. Colbert, you can never again say you are 'not a singer' (we, your fans, new this already). p.s. I hope this praise made you blush, because that's just precious. 😊😘
The talent miss Hudson possess is inexplicable, I hope she's rewarded at next year's award season, coz her portrayal of the Queen of Soul is astounding
But her singing is nothing at all like Aretha’s, except that they both have good voices and gospel influence. Hudson belts everything at maximum volume, from the first note to the last. Aretha had musical styling and subtleties
And this, children, is how a simple late night TV show occasionally and serendipitously produces a moment that is culturally iconic. Chilling! Goosebumps! 😲😱😁👍
I feel like Jennifer would make a REALLY wonderful voice teacher. Her energy just radiates singing guru. I would kill to have tips about how she gets the perfect articulations on her runs.
I'm a vocal performer who watches Colbert every night. Watching him jump in there and sing was friggin awesome. I love this show. Everyone is always so talented and amazing. Also, the band always fire. Stay spicy, Late Show.
One of the things I love about Jennifer Hudson (aside from being outrageously talented) is that she absolutely loves to sing. Every single aspect of singing and performing, she loves it. You can see it in this interview/performance
OMG Stephen Colbert this has got to be the BEST segment I have ever witnessed of you & your show. Goosebumps & smiles all around , loved it ! Thank you !
I new Colbert could sing, he's especially good as a baritone.... but I didnt know he would knock it out of the park with that FALSETTO!!!! Go 'head Sephen!
Thank you Stephen for your out rages gift, you left us asking for more However you are God child who admires everything, and always blessings others. Keep going Love Mom
I smiled and laughed, was put in awe at the talent and magic that was on this stage ! Stephen has got a great voice and John and Jennifer need to do something together….they are awesome!
JHud is just so cool, so NATURAL, so real...just oozes good good person. I ADORE her and cannot wait to see this movie. ALSO, if you haven't UA-cam'd Jon Batiste's music yet...OMG, feeling low, have the blues?...he is a huge slice of JOY.
In the feels Damn, her taking Jon’s piano with some polite reluctance and then Jon taking over the notes Stephen could only do breathy (but still better than most), thoroughly enjoyable Jennifer Hudson appearance
There are times where "thumbs up" just isn't enough. Damn! Talented people in this video! As much as I'm impressed by Stephen's range... I really wanted Ms. Hudson to keep going with that song! Such an amazing talent!
Bless the women's hearts who to try to do the likes of Billie, of Aretha, of Ella,no doubt someday down the road, a young woman will try to play Ms Jennifer....Just sayin....the goosebumps are different ...especially Aretha....the first note out of her mouth seemed effortless and yet instant goosebumps, a once in a lifetime kind of voice.
I can definitely see a movie about Jennifer's life. From American Idol, to winning an oscar, to getting to play such iconic characters. Her life is an incredible story.
@@j.mallay She also had some tragic moment happen to her & her family not log after American Idol &/or her 1st Grammy nomination(s). Family members (not sure if her mom maybe & a nephew or nice) were assassinated... Any corrections to my poor memory will be greatly appreciated.
This was so wholesome. JHud’s undeniable vocals, Jon & Stephen’s singing the backgrounds, Jon taking the piano back and commanding the whole band. Everything was so great!❤️
So much to unpack here! Very impressive on the piano, considering the nails, the heels... And where did Stephen Colbert come up with these high notes?!?
LOL! Love how Jennifer has these two grown men singing about how they feel like a 'natural woman'.
😂😂😂😂👍🏼👍🏼🥰🥰🥰 you are right!
Grown man wrote those lyrics. So get over it
@@Meatcity-sf8fm you must be fun at parties. I am super doubtful you actually go "meat city". men of your kind of attitude dont get there
When someone feels like a natural woman, you gotta move over and give them a little bit of RESPECT.
Hahahahaahaahaha....the singing was tight though, they channeled their inner woman.
Jon and Stephen are THE most natural women I've EVER seen!
😆🤣
Jon and Stephen needed to shut up and let Jennifer sing. She looked a little miffed when those two(Jon and Colbert) insisted on stealing her thunder.
@Alexi7666 you have that all wrong, she was the opposite of miffed. Happy and encouraged it even
@@Alexi7666 she said beforehand that Jon and Stephen where her singers (backup or main). It’s music it doesn’t matter as long as the sound is pure and joyful.
@@AlexWhiteVideo : Well, I would've been miffed at being upstaged by a talk show host. Bill Maher, Joe Kennedy are just as bad.
Sometimes this creature that is the Stephen Colbert Show is just a little bit of magic...
❤
Honestly, just about any time there have been musical acts on the Late Show, they have been pretty great ones. Letterman loved having special musical segments.
Oh yesss, and keeps popping surprises for his fans. Great performance 👏
Just when I thought I couldn't love Stephen anymore...he sings "Natural Woman." Amazing. Beautiful job Jennifer and Jon.
I do agree with you; he is such an amazing man.
I did
When she demonstrated Aretha’s singing style her voice was still packed with power. Jennifer’s voice is so powerful, and this was a delight!
Because Aretha’s voice was certainly packed with that same power Jennifer is a young Aretha Franklin. She has the torch flat out!
Facts sis is definitely a baby Aretha Franklin ❤
"...was still packed with power"? Honey, Aretha in her day could have knocked JH on her ass with the power of her voice.
Jennifer is proof: you can come in 7th and still WIN!
Oh yes
Everybody but the winner that season are great!!
Money and folks feeling sorry for her. So much confidence now. She's Beyonce Whitney and I hear O
Yes Thank you for this lol 😆 😭

Undeniably talented!
Stephen was in a Sondheim musical. You have to be able to sing for that. Have you never seen his performances on the show with Anna Kendrick, or James Corden, etc.?
Stephen is crazy talented and I'm glad we get to see him have a show like this
Watch out for JHud’s next single with surprise guest singer on it! 😂🤔😂
@@holdon4992 They have such great chemistry too!
Stephen being like “I’m not a singer, myself” and then BUSTS out with this kickass falsetto 😵
BLOWN AWAY!!! That has boosted my ENTIRE FRIDAY lol
Right! Where the hell did that come from?!
🤣🤣🤣
Sang Stephen!!!!
He held solid when he got to the lower end too, very impressive
Stephen caught the spirit 🙌🏽 that's when you take it to church and that exactly what the band did. Perfect ending 😍
Stephen went to church. That's his southern roots. Beautiful to see them all blend togerher.
He sure did! Lol
YES…went to church!
Yes he did 😆
He also taught/teaches Sunday School! 🙏👼💜
LOL. He sound like a muppet. Kudos for the effort! 🤣
I swear Stephen has the best band in late night. The way they all effortlessly joined in on Jennifer’s piano playing and were all so in tune without even saying a word, I mean come on.
No doubt a Julliard grad would have a sense for musical talent to surround himself with.

They rehearsed. Stephen said earlier in the show he'd heard them rehearsing and it was going to be spectacular ... 😉
Anyone else get a bit emotional? Jon, Stephen, and Jennifer vibing so naturally together! WOW!
Aretha is crying tears of joy....
I’m not crying, you’re crying 😭😂🤩
It all came together very naturally. Jennifer Hudson has a superstar quality. Feels like they captured a bit of magic.
what better way to celebrate Aretha Franklin than to share her music! Props to the band too! The music just flowed when she started playing. So much talent right there!
@@rasaecnai I'm late to the Jennifer is an amazing artist fan club so to learn about her and the relationship she had with Aretha probably added to my emotional response.
I was NOT expecting that from Mr. Colbert!!!
This is why Jennifer was my favorite coach on the voice. She can bring the music out of anyone.
The joy on Jon’s face when they’re singing…it’s everything.
Jennifer is SO freaking talented. 💕
I saw that..it made me smile.
She sure is 👏👏👏🤗
Yea they I think may be soul mates
😂😂😂😂😂 He's hilarious
they go to the group home when i was alone
This was one of the most delightful things I've ever seen
So true
👏♥️🌻
Yep🤗🥰
I agree. She have one of those voices that will cause you to cry. Because you can literally feel what she is singing, and it REALLY penetrate your heart.
The beauty and art and humor that Jennifer, Jon and Stephen brought to the show tonight was absolute magic. Thank you!!
What a great show! I woke up smiling this morning after a very long time! As u beautifully mentioned the magic of art and humour !
True words
unexpected beautiful harmony ....SO needed
This girl carries the light so effortlessly. Bless her.
This is officially my favorite Colbert show ever!!! Jennifer is a down to earth goddess and Stephen and Jon singing backup is everything!
YES YES YES YES!!!!
LORD ALMIGHTY, Stephen, that dip down to the 6th. And Jon’s conducting. And how tight the band is. And Madame Hudson. Im shooketh. THAT WAS NEXT LEVEL
So true
Same! I was impressed by the whole thing, especially Steven cobert's part! I told my husband to watch it "He sings like an angel! Steven -Cobert- the songbird!" ❤️❤️❤️
Until his falsetto solo bit at the end, I'd forgotten that Stephen had had a music background back in the day.
Gotta confess a bit of jealousy at him being able to hit those notes.
Looked like he had been saving that up,for awhile.
Me too. I am so jealous.
Yeah but I definitely don't feel like a natural woman 😂😂😂
I could actually hear the difference between "singing from your head" ans "singing from your feet" - This was both great entertainment AND instructional!
That was just bleeding amazing! I laughed, sang along, cried a bit and smiled A LOT!
I didn't know it was possible but after that I admire Jennifer Hudson even more.
Exactly how I feel!! That was amazing. 😊💕
Just cause I have to quote Rush Hour after seeing your profile pic.. “Wipe yoself off. You’re bleeding.”
She hasn’t had it easy either. Her mother, brother and nephew were murdered by her sister’s Bf.
I would love to see Hudson & Baptiste do a show together. She's so gracious with Colbert.
My favorite part was when they "took it to church" at the end. Wish they'd showed some more of that!! 💃👏
These kinds of moments are the reason why Colbert so badly wanted to get back into the studio.
God I love a good harmony.
Also damn Stephen you've been holdin' out on the rest of us.
Somewhere in the heavens, The Queen of Soul is smiling. 💕
This is why I love S. Colbert.
Being around that woman has got to be like living in a musical everyday and I love it.
Ok, we just witnessed history! That moment will make Jennifer Hudson’s own bio pic some day. Mark my words! ❤️
Men,
I think she deserves it long ago
"Sing it, child!" was clearly the Aretha in Jennifer's head.
I love how JHud’s face at 4:41 is like “damn, white boi can sing”
I'm surprised she didn't throw her shoe at him! 😊
@@amyelizabeth529 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol. Yep! He shocked their azzes.
@@amyelizabeth529: OMG. Stop it!!! 😭😭😭 👠 👠
He sounded funny lol😂😂😂😂
Ok can’t nobody take away from Talent it’s God-given
7 is the number of completion or perfection. Many idol winners haven't amassed anywhere close to Jennifer's success.
As a Motown woman, she’s the best for the job. Aretha made a very good decision.
Love her. Great actress, fabulous singer.
I'm from Detroit and I approve this comment.😉
Hi Cindy, how are you
Aretha never had anything to do with Motown.
Aretha was signed to Atlantic.
We have had the priviledge of watching Jennifer since she was a kid grow as a performer and I truly believe we are watching a legend in the making.
I love how she's a bit apprehensive to play the piano in front of Jon.., "Jon don't look at me" and then she plays just fine! aawwww! this was amazing, she is a true talent and I'm glad to have seen this this morning.
Great way to start any day!
If her voice don’t give you goosebumps you’re dead inside
Yes, Lord ❤
That falsetto, Stephen... Was...😍😍😍 absolutely amazing!
When Stephen went on his own I kept saying "You betta hold it!!!!" 😂😂😂
Me too
😂😂😂😂😂😂
lol
He did not disappoint!
What super stars they are
Jennifer was so surprised that Stephen can sing. She even asked “That’s all his?” 4:46
Of course, Stephen is a good singer! He starred in Broadway!
He was all trying to be coy “not being a singer myself” I was actually shocked
Jon even looked surprised
I didn’t know Stephen was on Broadway!! Why I didn’t know that!! Lol!! He shocked the hell out of me!!
I think there is more to this hobbit than meets the eye.
ua-cam.com/video/HeD9ZjMYoCc/v-deo.html
Well it's not the first time they've sang together ua-cam.com/video/66WjWUmTlbc/v-deo.html
Colbert's backing vocals for Jon were beautifully done. He kept out of the way and supported Jon quite well. That is more impressive to me than belting it out.
She's definitely a GEM!
That’s what choir in high school will teach you 🤣❤️
After this performance, Mr. Colbert, you can never again say you are 'not a singer' (we, your fans, new this already).
p.s. I hope this praise made you blush, because that's just precious. 😊😘
You can just tell how much Jennifer and Colbert love & adore each other. I love when she's on his show.❤️❤️
She’s seriously the Queen! JHud’s pipes are perfection 🥰
True words
Yes!
Made my eyes water… loved seeing all of them pay their RESPECTS to a Queen!
Same! That, and how whole-heartedly Jon & Stephen sang “Natural Woman”
OMG thank goodness I wasn't the only one who got teary-eyed lol! Great performance!!
This is the very definition of entertainment! Funny, lovely, inspiring all at once. Colbert's Late Show is brilliant.
I had the biggest grin on my face the entire time. Thank you for doing this and thank you for sharing this.
I love how the Colbert show brings out the best in people. That was a wonderful rendition by the 3 of them.
Jennifer is so gorgeous and charming on this episode. She's a powerhouse for sure.

She’s a real singer. The movie was amazing. Jennifer did an amazing job.
That was the BEST THING EVER!!!! Ms. Hudson’s voice goes right to my heart
I love to see when music comes together in all its beauty, and this was beautiful.
Btw am I the only one who has a major crush on Jennifer Hudson suddenly lol?

Jennifer is so beautiful! I love her! She's so deserving of everything good!💜
Love and tears and a laughing heart... I didn't think I could love these men any more...but I do! I do! I do! 💗💕💜
hello wendy, you look beautiful
What I love whenever Jennifer Hudson is a guest is that Stephen is often prompted to sing. And of course her powerful angelic voice 😍❤❤❤
Right hahahhaha i love their impromptu duets

Sweet Jesus she’s brilliant….I love how sweet and humble she seems too
One of those GREAT moments in TV History... and the Late Show...
Instantly legendary
Yasssssssss! Everything about it!!!!!!
YES!!!!!!! Unreal
Ed Sullivan Effect. That theater is hallowed TV ground. Great talent onstage helps too. 👏

Thank you Stephen for your out rages gift, you left us asking for more However you are God child who admires everything, and always blessings others. Keep going Love Mom
I have never laughed cried at the same time! That was awesome! I love how nervous Jennifer was to have Jon watch her play.
I went outta my way to find this on YT, I was emotional in how beautiful this was
Damn Steven! I just got major chills with all 3 of them singing.
I smiled and laughed, was put in awe at the talent and magic that was on this stage ! Stephen has got a great voice and John and Jennifer need to do something together….they are awesome!
So true
Stephen has been in at least one musical... on or off Broadway (can't remember which).
And the BAND!! Come on!

This is exactly why I watch this show. Stephen somehow manages to make the best parts of life happen!
There are times where "thumbs up" just isn't enough. Damn! Talented people in this video! As much as I'm impressed by Stephen's range... I really wanted Ms. Hudson to keep going with that song! Such an amazing talent!
I agree. I wanted to hear more of Jennifer (I think she was being gracious), although I also wanted to hear more from ALL of them. ♥️
Jennifer Hudson is such a jewel. X
wow stephen just gave me GOOSEBUMPS!

Billies voice was so soft but her version of Strange Fruit chills.
@@icebergrose8955 As much as I love Billies version the first time I heard Strange Fruit was by UB40 and I think they did it justice.
I can definitely see a movie about Jennifer's life. From American Idol, to winning an oscar, to getting to play such iconic characters.
Her life is an incredible story.
@@j.mallay She also had some tragic moment happen to her & her family not log after American Idol &/or her 1st Grammy nomination(s). Family members (not sure if her mom maybe & a nephew or nice) were assassinated... Any corrections to my poor memory will be greatly appreciated.

Goosebumps and tears. Best interview ever.
This lady is a miracle of beauty and grace. Her lovely tones moved me to tears
Jennifer is just amazing. She definitely was the perfect choice for the role and Stephen came through on the vocals. 😍😍
This was so wholesome. JHud’s undeniable vocals, Jon & Stephen’s singing the backgrounds, Jon taking the piano back and commanding the whole band. Everything was so great!❤️
Stephen Colbert is just 🔥!
It really upset me when she was eliminated from Idol so early, but I’m glad she’s proud of it.
That’s when I stopped watching!
Dayum girl! I just got chills! She’s the perfect Aretha! I just can’t imagine anyone else. Wonderful!!!!
That's why she chose her... No Beyonce playing her...
THAT WAS AMAZING JENNIFER IS JUST WOW AND WHO KNEW STEPHEN COULD SAAANNNNGGGG LIKE THAT 😅
I am legitimately and truly so impressed with Stephen??? Every single one of those notes was great, even the lil run he ended with????
Man. Jon sounds amazing even in his falsetto.
Thats what stood out to me too...i was like DAMN!!!!! Get it boy!!!
When your gift speaks for itself. Hudson is one of the most underrated singers of our time. Another Globe on her way.
Jennifer's voice touches my soul❤ and tears me up everytime❤😎
The best show of 2021... surely the power of music
Bless you Jennifer Hudson , GOD bless you sweet baby.
This is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen/ heard on a late night show! The magic was in the unrehearsed spontaneity of it!
So much to unpack here! Very impressive on the piano, considering the nails, the heels... And where did Stephen Colbert come up with these high notes?!?
That was awesome. Jennifer, Jon and Stephen…magical ❤️❤️❤️❤️
