I've always said these talent shows aren't about who wins the show... it's about who wins the career... & JHud is winning the gold prize everyday...!!! 🏆
She had to already have a God given talent and not realize it. You don't become a good pianist over night. Some people play by ear. It took me years to become a good pianist.
It's never too late to learn anything you want to learn. We should never limit our desires and skills by our age or what others says we cannot or should not do.
Did you talk to Aretha today? Is that what she told you? Well tell her we said hello. Aretha thinks she was the best and she would think she would be the best for the part. Everything was about Aretha.

I think JHud is doing a great job from what we've seen. She's changed her singing voice slightly to sound more like Aretha. She's lightened her tone. That's good acting there.
@S. M. I know right!! I would've loved to be in Detroit at the time. I remember seeing all those people waiting in line for the funeral on the news... She was loved by all! And she was so REAL. God rest her soul. One Lord. One Faith. One Baptism.
Aretha was and is mine too....my earthly mother passed away on August 11, 2018, and I've always considered Aretha my musical mother, who passed away August 16, 2018....5 days after my mom...August 2018 was a heartbreaking month for me....but I'm a better person being loved and groom by my mother, as well as been raised through song from Aretha!!! Rest easy my Queens!!🎵
I very much respect that Ms. Franklin never moved away from the Detroit area, unlike all of those people at Motown. Also respect that Ms. Hudson learned to play the piano for the role; she comes across as talented and humble. Great combination.
@@Xclusivenig9a Hollywood: Word is this Film DOESN'T DELIVER. HUDSON SINGS TO ANOTHER OSCAR NOMINATION PERFORMANCE, but the film is somewhat flat and too predictable that doesn't live up to the true struggles or triumphs of this AMAZING WOMAN known as THE QUEEN OF SOUL. ⭐⭐1/2
Jennifer Hudson is the most suitable actor to play Aretha Franklin, and the teaser, trailers, featurette, and advanced screenings reviews concur with the statement. I hope JHud's portrayal of Aretha garner universal acclaim from industry people and professional critics, and win her a historic second acting Oscar
@@kristopher1799 From the trailer of The House Of Gucci, looks like Gaga is really putting it down with her performance! I'm actually more excited to see the Gucci movie than Respect. The Oscars are gonna be good come next award season. Will Smith could be up for his 3rd Oscar!
@@mamadouaziza2536: I've seen the trailer to ...Gucci a few times and am vastly impressed. She does have the Italian accent necessary; I've watched a couple interviews with a young Patrizia, whom Gaga portrays, and the similarities are terrific. Start the Oscar campaign this very moment, Lady Gaga, even though the film premieres in November, a perfect time during Oscar season...
I am a HUGE Jennifer Hudson fan. Soundtrack pre-ordered. Wish her the best at the Oscars. I’m rooting for her. All time favorite, favorite, favorite. Love her, love her voice.
Just watched this and I’m crying my eyes out. I’m a huge Aretha fan and was so moved by the friendship between Jennifer and Aretha. Jennifer’s journey, her talent and strength to rise above her own tragedies are BEYOND amazing!! By the time they show the clip of her singing her heart out at Aretha’s funeral, I couldn’t see thru my tears. Just give her the Oscar now!!! Can’t wait!!
I have a funny connection to both Jennifer and Aretha. First my name happens to be almost identical to Aretha (just add an S at the front & replace the e with an i). Then Jennifer & I almost attended the same high school at the same time. I chose not to go because I hated the name of it, kids would make fun of it lol. Then I was actually a co worker of Jennifer's sister a few years ago. The first time I met her in person she stopped me and demanded I sing for her on the spot. I obliged her because I actually do sing and am used to people doing that all the time lol. At the time my hair was cut really short and people used to say I favored Jennifer so maybe that's what her sister saw too lolol. Also my first professional performance was a cover of "Til You Come Back To Me". Lastly I saw one of Queen Ree Ree's final performances at Ravina in 2017. She looked good, she sounded great, she spoke about some of her health concerns and I shouted and danced along with her as she gave praise about overcoming a previous diagnosis. Then I had the honor to look all around me at the assortment of people who communed together to watch this great legend who used her voice for the improvement of Black Life and the desegregation of America. We sang, danced, shared our food and relished in the presence of Ms. Franklin. I am looking forward to seeing what Jennifer brought to the portrayal. It definitely looks like an Oscar winner. Aw, bonus: My father recorded in that very same studio that Jennifer is in. He said that was his favorite place.
She better get an Oscar for this! Im sick of people of color getting passed over for that reason alone. We are so blessed to have so many talented people! God blessed everybody! Not just the ones Hollywood finds special.
Of all the celebrities of the last 20-30yrs, I'm most grateful to God for Jennifer Hudson's success. She's SO genuine & wanted it for the well- being of her family even a little more than herself. Lots of 'em SAY that (& mean it!), I just always felt like it was more intensely, desperately true in her case.
I so badly wanna see her win, it's a shame that only one woman of color has ever won in leading actress category, and not one black woman has won multiple Oscars
@@siddharthnaagar7028 Its a shame that the Black community and Black Hollywood still have a need and a want for White acceptance.. I see no reason why Black Hollywood shouldn't start their own awards of excellence in the film industry.. The mere fact that Jennifer and her fans keep mentioning an Oscar win could be the reason she will not win. Just let it happen organically or not at all.
I cannot believe I'm playing Aretha's piano -- Jennifer! Ha! Only we Aretha fans can relate! Can't wait to see this film. Jennifer embody the roll so effortlessly.
I drive by Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals Al nearly every day. The presence of the Building alone is overwhelming. If you are from this area every where you turn even the air you breathe is filled with the power of music
Aretha chose Jennifer Hudson herself, so SUCCESS is the END results. We MUST respect Aretha’ s request. I heard Aretha myself asking Jennifer myself to play her and WIN.
She never needed American Idol...she is sooo much bigger than that.What I truly love about Jennifer she never lost herself nor did she forget where she came from.I just love how natural she is and how cormftable she is with herself.I love you girl.Keep on shinning
I love everything music about this lady. There hasn't been one quite like her. Jennifer is unique, she lights up with each melody she brings, she's fun, full of life and knows she was born for this!!!! 😎🤓. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE her singing passion.
"A Lazarus riser," Miss Jennifer Hudson. America knows, she'll be here long after her time. God has given her, Miss Jennifer,voice and presence authority, and I'm here to witness it; thank you God. Young history walking.
I love her hair right now! Jennifer has always been a beautiful woman, both inside and out, but there is a maturity to her now that really shines. Looking forward to this movie.
How honorable is it for the Queen Aretha Franklin to pass the torch to Jennifer Hudson while she was still alive. She chose who she wanted to continue on with the foundation that as been laid before her. Who she felt was qualified and then cultivated Jennifer and to being the next Legend hopefully following in her footsteps but yet still keeping her own identity of course being true to herself. God bless you Queen Jennifer Hudson!
I got GOOSEBUMPS and literally cried when she was playing Aretha's piano! Aretha would be so proud. I wish she & Jennifer's Mom and family had lived to see this. And she better win the Oscar. Andra Day was robbed this year for playing Billie Holliday! Why didn't they film at Muscle Shoals for Pete's sake? I have never loved an artist more than I do Jennifer Hudson, I feel like I know her.
When Jennifer channeled "Ain't No Way" in the film, well, there it is. Plus, "Think," "I Never Loved a Man..."...and those precious final minutes in the film. And the subtle ways she showed Aretha's personality in the dramatic scenes. Respect all the way!
JHud's dress reminds me of Whitney's, which she wore during an interview with Barbara Walters in 93, and her hair from Whitney's How Will I Know music video 😘😎
Jennifer said recently, she didn't think about her new hair style being close to Whitney's until she rewatched the How Will I Know video again. She said she realized it was similar and got chills because Whitney was looking to the side and it was a clip of Aretha singing. She forgot that part was in Whitney's video.
That movie is so inspirational I'll probably go see it for the third time in theaters. See it in theaters at least once. You going to shed tears. This woman is amazing to endure some of the things she did and still come out on top. And our life with addiction is similar. I really cried because I saw myself
Amazing, she does deserve every goid thing. . And deserve an Academy Award,, yes she does. . The film was exquisite + superb. . Jennifer Hudson's portrayal of Aretha Franklin was top notch + believable + wonderful 👏 ❤
Hopefully Jennifer Hudson can "channel" that energy of Aretha Franklin..and bring it out on the big screen...and leave us all feeling better. (R.E.S.P.E.C.T)..finally a reason to go back to the Movie theaters!!!
Maybe some nominations but as with history, if people start early Oscar buzz on a film thats not even out yet, the reality is that the film will be snubbed by the film Academy.. The positive thing here is that Jennifer is likable and people in Hollywood like her, she just needs to cool on talking about winning an Oscar for this movie and let it come organically.
Brilliant Jennifer does truly understand her job as an Actor and Artist. Every interview I watch of her reinforces that fact. Terrific actor. They better give her that Oscar. R.E.S.P.E.C.T
I thought the Black community did not need the White man's acceptance or his awards? Why would anyone want an award from an industry that is deemed wicked by the Black community?
Maybe, maybe not. You do realize that if Jennifer is nominated that there will be 4 other nominees and we don't know who those actresses will be at this time. Glenn Close has a movie coming out later this year and we all know Glenn is overdue for an Oscar.
She has already won the Oscar for this performance in my eyes. Jennifer Hudson is the only artist that can portray Aretha with authenticity.
How pathetic to already judge.
Absolutely Absolutely
My eyes and ears as well... Hands down Oscar!
@@foul-mouthfarrah1158 GET OVER IT.

Absolute RESPECT for Jennifer. Absolute!!!
Agree!
The fact she learned to play the piano for this role Is just amazing. That gives me hope. That it's never too late to pick up a skill late in life
I am impressed by that too, but I am more impressed that she can play the piano with those NAILS!! GIRRRRRL!!
She could play a little before the movie.
She had to already have a God given talent and not realize it. You don't become a good pianist over night. Some people play by ear. It took me years to become a good pianist.
She coulda done a track too. She didn't have to. But she did it.
It's never too late to learn anything you want to learn. We should never limit our desires and skills by our age or what others says we cannot or should not do.
Aretha Franklin would feel deeply honored to have her legacy honored like this, especially coming from the talented Jennifer Hudson, herself!
Did you talk to Aretha today? Is that what she told you? Well tell her we said hello.

I think JHud is doing a great job from what we've seen. She's changed her singing voice slightly to sound more like Aretha. She's lightened her tone. That's good acting there.
Aretha also had a strong voice. It varied throughout her songs. It’s a talent.
I cried on an airplane when I learned about Aretha's passing. The Queen of Soul is my favourite singer of all time♥️♥️
AHO and Awoman
Her death was a major loss not only for the music industry but also for the entire world as well. But her musical legacy will live forever.
@S. M. I know right!! I would've loved to be in Detroit at the time. I remember seeing all those people waiting in line for the funeral on the news... She was loved by all! And she was so REAL. God rest her soul. One Lord. One Faith. One Baptism.

She’s such a genuine soul. I can’t wait to see her bring Aretha’s story to life.
Jennifer Hudson is pure baddass. she is an incredible musician, great actress and very strong woman. very impressive.
I very much respect that Ms. Franklin never moved away from the Detroit area, unlike all of those people at Motown. Also respect that Ms. Hudson learned to play the piano for the role; she comes across as talented and humble. Great combination.
She did live in L.A. when her career took off and when she was married to Glynn Turman, but “home” was in Detroit.
She went from Columbia to Atlantic… she was born in Detroit… went to school and grew up with many of them… but she was never signed to Motown
