This is literally each Sunday in a Black Baptist Chruch. They killed it.
AMEN
Hallelujah 🙌🏿🙌🏿
And there's a place for it......on BET.
Facts
Hahaha I was about to say the same thing just need a preacher running up and down the pews
Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony award winner Jennifer Hudson 🥵🥵🥵🥵🏆
Jennifer Hudson is channeling Aretha Franklin spirit alive...damn that woman can sing
Not only can she sing. She can sang!!!!!!
Yes ... it is a shame she didn't do so on this performance.
Effortlessly it seems!! She ain't channel..HER Jennifer!!
Aretha never SCREAMED and HOLLERED when she
perfectly delivered a song.
She is so freaking good, and I don’t give a piece of sh** what some haters here say, she is as close to Aretha as someone can be (in the RESPECT movie); else, she is NOT Aretha, of course, noone is Aretha except Aretha herself, and Jennifer doesn’t want to be Aretha, she is JHud 🔥🔥🔥💯 I am also tired of people saying she is not Aretha, lol we know that…and Aretha is not Jennifer. And I love this church baby JHud so damn much….and anybody saying she is screaming, has no clue at all, I don’t discuss…I just enjoy her and her performances, thanks Jenn, and thanks to you for giving such a nice and correct comment!
When Country Went To Church. What we just witnessed was THE SOUL OF COUNTRY... unadulterated music.
I think Jennifer should seriously consider working on a solo project that sits right here in this place stylistically. Between blues, gospel, and country. She shouldn't try and follow any trends, she should set them. This was the best I've ever heard her.
I‘d buy everything that she hopefully offers
You should listen to her song burden down, it’s really good
@@ohemaa_ang I know this, she always delivers!! Did you also see her performance for the March of our Lives event? Also phenomenal, but almost everything of her is gorgeous
She is south side Chicago! We were neighbors at a point. She is church and soul and power.
@@shantayedincsoy1611 And a very kind, lovely, humble and great person
That's how you own the room !!!! There is nothing better than a room full of superstars who are just wowed by a performance !!!!
Those two brought that audience to CHURCH ❤
NO amount of voice lessons.
NO amount of practice.
There’s NOTHING that can get you to THAT LEVEL except God. She has THE gift.
She has a vocal coach...but she is phenomenal nonetheless.
@@LadyWingingIt I doubt it. She doesn't even do vocal warm ups
She has a vocal coach for Aretha's biopic. But she was already amazing before. Most of her singing is naturally.
AMEN TO THAT!!!!!
Amen!
We don't deserve this Woman at all. But God does everything for a reason. After the death of her family this woman never gave up. She "pulled through". God never let her down and made sure her Gift didn't go to waste and is heard by many. Only thing i wish was that she came in the earlier era. I.E. Aretha, Patti, Gladys, Dionne, Chaka. That would have been epic. Thank You Miss Hudson. You never fail to deliver.
She came about as an artist at the perfect time. This generation desperately need an epic talent to be their voice of their generation like the previous great voices that preceded her for the boomer generation. The CMA audience as did all of the viewers watched an incredible performance from the incomparable Miss Jennifer Hudson. Aretha chose her to play her for a reason. Amazing.
Exactly, I admire and worship her in any possible way….especially I am so gald that she didn’t break after this unbelievable crime that had happened to her mom, brother and nephew. She probably could only survive as a church baby. I love you so much, Jennifer!!! Chris is gorgeous as well, of course, thanks to him too!
Truth!
the poor souls who had to perform next...
😂😂😂😂
I heard that😎
😄😄😄😄
🤣🤣right!
Lol u got that right
Jen Hud & Chris Stapleton brought down the house for sure..
Just to even think that this legendary woman finished seventh on American idol and went on to become one is beyond inspirational
Best thing to happen to her was to not win Idol. Her path to greatness was far brighter than that award and the hapless Simon Cowell. Oscar and Grammy winner and an even brighter long term career of greatness. One of 2021's shining star moments during the CMA's. Bravo.
@@jaymcgee1589 I love Fantastia Barino, she won that year,but in the last two Jennifer Hudson is blowing up so large she pop up all over the music map and now it's suppose to be confirmed she will replace "Ellen" when she retire from her talk show. I don't know how she do it all and have son as well. I simply love her and she stay true to her faith and humble beginnings. Nerd I say more. She on her game.
@@cherylrobinson2341 is Fantasia even performing anymore?
@@cherylrobinson2341 Ellen show? bad career move 😱she should start her own, not try and fill someone else's seat. As nobody can replace Oprah, replacing Ellen is equally impossible. 😉. I like her and hope she does well, but on her own merits, as she's done til now.
GOD IS GOODER THAN GOOD!!!
H.E.R., Timberlake, and now Hudson. Chris keeps inviting artists to his party and humbly stands in the background to let them shine, after years of writing #1 hit for other artists, all while hiding the best voice on the planet(outside of Morgan's of course).
Facts!!!! 👏 Hence, why he deserves all the awards.
Absolutely!! Humbled Man right there and his wife is so beautiful!
That's what I was thinking,but you wrote it.bravo❣️❣️❣️
Sprinkles on everything.
What a song , God is good ....
Holy Fuck!!!! Jennifer Hudson just drove a predominant white country music crowd to the church, slapped their white cheeks with brillance of gospel and they were loving ever min of it. JHUD is indeed the princess of soul and the most underrated vocalist this century
While singing a song written by one of their heroes, Willie Nelson.
You do know that the connection between country, soul and gospel runs very very deep, right? Of course, a country music crowd would love it. Jennifer is definitely not underrated!!!!😍😍🥰🥰
Reminds me of the Rhythm, Country and Blues project from the 90's. Paired up duets with R&B and country artists. I am not generally a fan of country music, but I love to see this and think their voices are excellent together. Had never heard of him, but have always loved JHud.
@@prairiegirl651 in a lot of ways she's underrated specially in the music industry.
Check out her singing "Believe" at the Brooks Dunn special...still gives ne chills to listen to. She definitely sing country blues.
Can someone help me pick my jaw off the floor. I got chills. Chris and Jhud seriously need to collab more.
@GlennFell, they are two of my favorites. I hope that their CMA performance prompts a duet. Lawd, have mercy, they killed this performance.
I’ll preorder that now ha ha. This was really great.
I agree. Just WOW
We need a duet. Seriously. An album of duets...
PHENOMONAL
Jennifer Hudson is a powerhouse and Chris Stapleton's voice is like no other, best performance of the night 👏 🔥
For sure❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Chris voice is so unique, i can listen to his music all day everyday ❤️, have you been to his concert before ?

@@genetmeghann5284 No haven’t been able to afford to go but I Really Love Him ❤️😍🙏
Yes They Are🥰❤️
I like how Jennifer was just killing the song and Chris didn't sing much cause his face was like you sing it girl, whoa!
You could see it in the faces of the musicians and the audience... They were all part of something amazing and magical this night. Wow.
Magic
AMEN!!!!!
Jennifer went Gospel @ Country Music Award Show. They will have to rename it to The Soul of Country.
Ladies and gentlemen , this is how you show the good ol` folks how it`s done !
Jennifer Hudson is such a fucking extra-ordinary talent.
I’m sorry Jennifer is just effortless. She was always so underrated. So glad she is getting the recognition she deserves. She is up there with Tina . Aretha . Whitney .Celine
She's not underrated, she just won't sell out who she it. That sh## is flawless
y'all see how country artists know how to enjoy music and stand up for a fellow artist
Jennifer Hudson and Chris Stapleton together just doesn't get any better. These 2 were old souls that needed to be paired up. Phenomenal performance..
Please won't someone bring back the Motown, Funk and Soul of old. Our world is in need of that kind of music once again.
It takes a heck of a voice not to get lost when singing with Jennifer Hudson. I've only seen Chris Stapleton and Sir Tom Jones hold their own with her. She just blows everyone else out of the water!
You can see real talent in her performance I love this song what a unique voice so perfect for this song. How are you Hayley ?
Ahhhh MAN... I'm SO Glad Some Brought Up Tom Jones!!
Look... People Don't KnOw, Tom Jones Was The 1st Blue Eye SOUL Brotha!! He Very IMPRESSIVELY Held His Own On LIVE SHOW Performances With The ICONIC Female Soul Singers From The 60's..... Such As TINA.... (( back when SHE held the title of *Queen Of Soul* for a while )), ARETHA... And ALSO.... JANIS!!!
Y'all go type in Tom Jones Soulful Duets... with those 3 Iconic Artists I Just Mentioned!!
You're WELCOME In Advances!! ☝🏽😄✌🏽
Amen to that!
Everyone in the audience, heck in the building, was just "saved". Wow, just wow! ❤
At least for The Moment!# The Queen Mother of Soul’s spirit lives!🎹🎹🎹🌈
She took 'em to church.
Took them to church
No. They weren't.
You do not get saved by hearing a religious song. I'll call it what it was. it was having all colors at the CMA's. I think she has an awesome voice. I cannot stand most of country music these days, but it did not match the program, or previous tears programs at all. It was appeasement. It is sad that this is the America that we are living in now, where we look and judge based on color and ethnic numbers again, instead of ones personal character. That should be all that matters. Guaranteed if you are in war with someone beside you, you don't care what color they are. You need trust and honor.
It's not a party until Country and Soul show up lol.
Exactly!!!!
Country has always been a very soulful music style, so it blends easily with R&B, no doubt.
Two of the greatest voices of our generation. Appreciate people 🙌
Chris Stapleton voice always stand out from the rest, he’s my favorite ❤️, I always pray to meet him personally
@@genetmeghann5284 Yup! It's the soul singing. There is not a single day that I don't listen to Chris, from his early days in a Bluegrass band, singing in pubs with a couple of people in the audience (he never ever misses to mention) up to nowadays. Pure soul singing and creating genuine art! ♥️🙏
JHud needs to consider making projects with Chris this was seriously phenomenal!!..
Yes so true and we need him on the Jennifer hudson show
Jennifer Hudson could sing the phone book and it would still be an awesome performance.
Every band member is smiling all the way during the performance...It can't get any better than that...
Jennifer commanding every big country musician on that performance
The only singer that can continue the legacy of Aretha Franklin, with her voice , personality and inner strength is Jenifer Hudson...blessed to be honoured with performances.
Naaahhh... She is the most Famous singer carrying on Aretha's legacy in those same ways that you mentioned but trust me..... If you never heard of Ledisi, Laya Hathaway, Selena Johnson..... Its A Shame Because Them Sistaz Been Holdin' Down The Great Legacy Of Aretha Just As Long As Jennifer Hudson has☝🏽
Love the essence of your post but just wanted to shed some light on other Great female singers who don't get that same shine as Jennifer for whatever the reasons may be ✌🏽
I like Hudson better, actually.
@@phiizephaniyah4120 Ledisi and Jhud are like the Aretha and Patti Labelle of this generation
They sing with passion and power just like The Queen and The Godmother of Soul did back in the days
Patti still does though
@@phiizephaniyah4120💯
Took us to church and back again!
What a unique performance Jennifer did absolutely well Chris is my favorite. How are you Andrea ?
Goosebumps and stank face. That's what a great performance is supposed to sound like.
✨💫YASSSS 💫✨ Can I get an Aaaamennn?! 💫✨
Bay bayyyyy💯
What singing and sex share in common!
Did Chris and Jen just take us to Shug Avery Southern Church??? Brilliant performance!!!
Give Jennifer Hudson her flowers, a vocalist this woman damn!
❤️🔥❤️🔥 I’ve been sayin it! I’ve been sayin it! Chris is a SOUL MAN!!! I have felt the BLUES and GOSPEL vibes from him since DAY ONE!! Aretha Franklin will always be my #1 female singer and I’ve loved JHud since her Idol audition. Seriously, Jennifer, my goodness, this is why she was CHOSEN by the Queen of Soul for her biopic. She SLAAAAYS and DELIVERRRRS! Roof gonna need replacin! I have NEVER seen Chris smile so much in a performance and I’ve been watching him since his Jompson Brothers/Steeldrivers day. I feel like I just went to Sunday service! Hallelujur! Throwin my shoes, JHud👠 👠 ❤️🔥❤️🔥
I'm so glad you mentioned the smile on his face. I couldn't take my eyes off it. This is proformance he will never forget!
When you got talent like those two have they can sing anything. They did do do a blues record together.
❤❤❤
To me Jennifer Hudson is the most beautiful woman the world. I love her voice.
Crazy bust too
I must admit I never heard of Chris Stapleton until my nephew died earlier this year, I was told he was my nephew's favorite artist. I can now see why, he is amazing.
Hello Liane Happy New Year, how are you doing today?
I'm so sorry for your loss. Your nephew knew good music because Chris Stapleton is FANTASTIC!
Yes. You can see real talent in him Chris Stapleton is my favorite I love this song what a unique voice Jennifer so perfect for this song. How are you Liane ?
Because of misinformation, I didn’t think Jennifer would be received so warmly considering she’s at the CMAs and she’s not a country artist…I was DEAD wrong…. Regardless of genre, singers know singers…. I live in San Francisco and I’m just discovering Chris and his song Tennessee Whisky (which I LOVE) so this came up as a recommendation…Loved this collaboration!
Music sees no color!!! This performance was perfect 😍😍 God bless us all
I have no words! Just flippin’ fantastic!
JHud's voice is so powerful but so pure at the same time. What a powerhouse! She absolutely slayed this performance. The audience reaction is awesome.
This EGOT is FLAWLESS. The audience just couldn't sit down.
As agnostic as I am - I almost went all the way back to my church choir. Chills!!!! Wow, just wow. Two of my favorites in one place, performing at the same time together... Oh yes, now that is a real blessing.💙🦅💙🌈
They will still be talking about this performance 50 years from now. Legendary.
Chris is always brilliantly respectful of artists he performs with ..... always puts just enough of himself in, and lets them shine without trying to take their spotlight .... it works like magic
Definitely agree.
He ALSO needs to focus on that guitar playin' toO so, it works out fine the way he lets his collaborating fellow artist take that shine a lil more ☝🏽😌
Wow Jennifer can really shout out those vocals
This audience reaction is my favorite of anything I've ever seen. She and Chris took them ALL to church.
I’ve lost count at how many dozens of times I’ve watched this. The audience was in the presence of greatness.
Yes. You can see real talent in Jennifer's performance I love this song what a unique voices so perfect for this song. How are you Lisa ?
Omg, I absolutely love how the barriers are coming down between the genres. Hell yeah Jennifer Hudson is on stage with Chris Stapleton!! Great music is great music. Doesn’t matter how you’ve been labeled. Just listen to what moves you. ❤️
Exactly
So this all started back with Traveling Wilburys and The Highwaymen back in the day. The man who wrote Nightlife Willie Nelson, his son Lucas has influences in folk, rock, blues,and country. Chris Stapleton has played with Willie and at Farm Aid and adopted a similar mentality. There is mentality in this group that has been thicker than thieves since the 60s of taking the best from each genre and making it your own. Lukas has definitely done this. Lukas learned his blues phrasing from BB King. His first tour at 14 was his with his dad and Bob Dylan. Lukas Nelson and potr have been Neil Young's bands since 2015. He's opened for the Rolling Stones and The Who. He didn't know George Harrison personally but he's friends with Dhani and the Beatles are a big influence. It's somewhere with Tom Petty he's friends with Adria. Most artists that have lasted any length of time in the business pull from more than one genre because it's about the music and what sounds good. Most of this pop crap won't be around in 5 years and no one will remember it. Willie wrote Nightlife long ago and it's still great today. Good music just gets better. Flash in the plan pop crap just gets crappier.
@@ramonawilliams6783 😄 "Pop crap". That's a lot of history, thank you. You're right, music has crossed genres for a long time. I think to state it more clearly I should have said that instead of just crossing genres, we're seeing more and more of these co-labs on the stage and video. Like 40 years ago I don't think we would have seen 2 entertainers (for instance Snoop Dogg and Willie), share the same song, stage or video together. It's really great to see more of that happening.
@@ramonawilliams6783 and chris can see by willies and many others example, that doing whatever moves them at the moment if your good at is is a risk worth taking .sure worked for willie and chris to superstardom. people dont seem to get that being an artist means a variety self expression.
@@khzvaleriesmith6428 Yes you get it. How do you define good music? You feel it inside. I shared with a sweet little girl that was asking what genre a certain artist was. An artist is is whatever genre they decide they define themselves as. My Lukas uses Cosmic Country Soul. I add some cowboy hippie surfer rock in there.
The looks on those folks face!! She literally snatched their souls out with her powerful voice! That woman can sang and Chris too!! Powerful
😁😁😁
I've listened to this so many times since the CMAs aired because it's phenomenal! I wish that ABC hadn't cut to commercial before we saw Jennifer get the applause she earned and deserved after this performance. In fact, this performance deserves its own award!
She is one of the very few artist who can go nto a Country house and turn it into a Church house🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Damn, that was fantastic! More Jennifer and Chris Stapleton please!
YOU DONT HEAR THIS YOU GOT DAMN FEEL IT !!!
This is why I have loved Jennifer Husdon since I first heard on American Idol, where she was not appreciated nearly enough! She is one of the best forever and always!
Yes. You can see real talent in Jennifer I love this song what a unique voice so perfect for this song. How are you Kathy ?
I loved that. I watched this a few times now. I absolutely love it. And BTW I have NEVER underestimated Jennifer Hudson. I know how phenomenal she is. Top 1 percent. She is the voice of our generation. I really adore her. ❤ And Chris singing the National Anthem was just incredible. ❤
Aretha was the Queen of Soul. Well I believe Jennifer hudson is the Princess of Soul
I think she have to be the princess of soul too
Besides her volcals of course, what I loved most about this performance is that the audience trully appreciated that they were in the presence of greatness. Imagine being in a room full of singers and being by far the best. JHUD
Good god almighty, she’s got some SERIOUS pipes!😳 I came here for Chris Stapleton but wasn’t expecting THAT! What a DOUBLE TREAT!😍
I had to hold myself together for this performance
The thing I love MOST about country artist shows is that every. Single. One. Of the artists were feeling the music and showering love back on the performers. It really seems like all these artists are truly in it for the music and the community. It’s amazing. Such an incredible performance
Definitely Agree With That!!
And it's So entertaining and exhilarating to watch Other top artists sorta Geek Out And Lose Their Self Control in the sense of showin' Love as a Fan, to other artist's love performances
I'm throwing shoes at my screen just like JHud did when she was on The Voice! Lol...My God that girl can belt! We got a double dose of soul from these two legends! I'd love to see more collabs in the future. Outstanding performance!
Wow. You can see real talent in her I love this song what a unique voice so perfect for this song. How are you Nicole ?
I dont think i have seen Chris have so much fun, the smile on his face is priceless!
Ms. Perfection, superb voice, will one day carry the title of Queen for her talent!
JENNIFER GIRL YOU BLEW ME AWAY YOU GOT ME SHOUTING!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This was a whole Sunday service 💃🏽👏🏽💃🏽👏🏽💃🏽👏🏽❤️🙌🏽🙌🏽
Goosebumps when she hit that last high note. Lord how mercy. 😳😳😳😳
Diito on everything fabulous said about Jennifer. She deserves every word of praise.
JHud continues to be one of the most underrated talents of all time. LOVE her.
When he was singing you are my sunshine with Jennifer, he was smiling. I know he sings this with his wife usually but Jennifer is on a whole other level vocally and I think from the smile on Chris's face he was enjoying himself
Yes. Mr. Stapleton. Thank you for collabing with the amazing Jennifer Hudson. 👏🏾
WOOOOOH !!! I guess I've never really heard J cut loose ,WOW talk about an old soul .My Lord what a gift .
Who says country has no SOUL...she is amazing...
This is not country it’s blues
Something Amazing Gorgeous! Joe Stapleton and Jennifer Hudson! Congratulations 🎊 Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭 🇧🇷💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Somewhere the Queen of Soul is smiling!
Tears flowing here. I think I would have fainted had I been there.
She just solidified herself legendary
Whew GLORY!!! Man yall took this to church!!! Jennifer Hudson and Chris Stapleton man yall had me in church revival. The way Breland reacted is how I reacted in my living room. I had to get up and shout.
Jennifer Hudson’s range is absolutely incredible
June 2024 I’m still coming back to this. 😊
THIS!!! GOOSEBUMPS ALL OVER!!! REAL MUSIC RIGHT HERE!!!
I love JHUD, and Chris.
Country music has several influences, the blues of the Mississippi Delta, bluegrass of the hills and mountains, and Spanish style guitar music from Mexico. People who don't know country music are always astounded and say he is singing the blues. Blues artists influenced him as well as other genres.
What a good performance Jennifer did absolutely well what a unique voice so entertaining I love listen to this song Chris is my favorite. How are you Kathryn ?
Good truthful comment there!
Seeing as how Country Music comes Directly from the Blues of the former freed slaves right here in the U.S., when *"white"* started admiring the style, they did it with the pains and sufferings of their own troubles and hardships of their Subculture and that's why Country was labeled the "White Man's," Blues early on last century but...... Everytime I hear a Chris Stapleton type country artist, I am Never Surprised! I know where his style of singer comes from!!
The Man Does It Better Than Any Other Of This Generation Tho, So.... Big Time Props To Him!!!☝🏽
This is music😊
Woooo- LORD HAVE MERCY!!!!! Jennifer Hudson and Chris Stapleton!!! YESSSSS- all day everyday. Loved seeing Morgan in the crowd and always love seeing Keith Urban loving some good TUNES! That dude feels music and always looks happy
She took em to CHURCH yes ma'am she did🙏🙌🙌
She just says...,"well"..and instantly connects my soul
Jennifer this was so good, I dropped my phone. Go Jennifer and Chris!!
Kudos to Chris for continuing to introduce black artists to this space. It’s beautiful and always iconic 🙌🏽
Emotions that break free, passion personified...love this!
Yes. So talented she did absolutely well what a unique voice great performance. How are you Moni ?
Jennifer is one of the best vocalists, ever.
Wow just wow!! There's just not enough shoes in this world to throw for this performance!! Jennifer is Queen! And Chris did his Thang!!!
Every time I see Chris he’s at the country music awards killing it with a women of color. Literally bringing down the house.
Why am I in tears this morning? HE IS WORTHY!!!!!
No kidding she is the Queen. Such a voice, so beautiful, and getting every bit of respect she deserves.
She came to Slay 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Country+Soul= 🔥
Same music.
Best performance of the night! Heck yeahhhhh 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Yes. So good to watching Jennifer and Chris on stage what a unique performance. How are you Dawna ?
