I love her speaking voice as much as her singing
What a beautiful person 🥰
What a sweetheart Jennifer Hudson is.
She is just the sweetest woman! Not full of herself and boy can she sing, so anxious to see the movie I loved Arethas music. :)
CORRECTION: the fact that you don’t have a day drinking with Jennifer Hudson should be fixed
That was one of my favorite interviews ever!
Jennifer looks so beautiful. She's given me Chaka Khan vibes with this hair love it.
Miss Hudson you are one incredible positive role model for our young ones. Ps YOUR voice is …no words strong enough. Just perfect ❤️
OH WOOOOW, JENNIFER LOOKING AMAZING IN YELLOW!!!!!!
The bias ruffle lined with rose satin... If Jennifer Hudson ever played Belle in "Beauty & the Beast," that could be her dress.
Although it's kinda ruined by that fallen bra strap
She looks amazing in everything 🥺
Stay humble like her. Damn, she has a beautiful energy and aura.
Jennifer Hudson is the real GOAT
respect now playing only in theatres
SiddharthNaagar you can say that again ,She sounds just like a Goat,Sounds like a goat Hollering like he got caught in some bob wire.
I can’t wait to see this movie 🙌🏾🙌🏾👑
If she wins the best actress oscar she'll be the second black woman after Halle Berry to win it. Crazy to think its been over 2 decades since Halle won and a black actress still hasn't won best actress, I hope that jennifer does. #RESPECT #PRINCESSOFSOUL #RIPQUEENOFSOUL #WELOVEYOUARETHA
If she wins, she’ll then be a double Oscar winner, which is pretty damn impressive! Especially when you think about how much she’s had to overcome. I wish I could have even a fraction of her grace and charm!
That would be so Awesome for Jennifer Hudson she is so Talented as a singer and actress
The only close one to win best actress was Viola Davis, TWICE. In "The Help" and "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom".
She is so gracious
So happy she was on the best late night show! She's double aces in my book now!
Excellent Choice to play Aretha, Ms Hudson has the voice 🎤 to play the part of the Queen of Soul. 💟
Omg lol Seth, just the “E”s hahahahahha
Amazing Grace is an amazing album, even if you're not into gospel
Seth should be on at prime time!!!
She's so charming! I can't wait to see the movie
"aLL tHe OtHeR SiX aRe BiGgeR sTArS tHaN yOu".
- Steve Meyers, 2021
That was HILARIOUS!
Again Ms. Hudson you look marvelous and I cannot wait to see you in respect !
Jennifer Hudson is iconic. She has always been her authentic true self, that is a true artist. She only needs a microphone, and her voice. Enough said.
Never seen Seth tongue-tied before.
She's amazing... big fan...
*I LOVE that dress!!! :)*
Hey, remember that time Beyonce walked by Selena in a shopping center...I stood next to Jennifer one time, at a place...I'm gonna be famous 🤩😜
Fun fact - I got to fill in for Selena’s sax player for a few days back in the early 90s, and I’m…. not in any way famous. So there’s that.

I just love everything about her ❤️
CHICAGO🙏🏻😊❤ SOUTHSIDE
luv Jennifer!
5:07 "I remember her saying don't sing none of my songs" 💀💀💀Oh Rere.......
Jennifer Hudson is a National Treasure
I actually preferred this interview to the one she did on Colbert. I like that it was a real conversation and not a “performance” (though of course I love her performing too!)
What a fun and beautiful dress!!
An icon.
If Barack and Michelle Facetime'd me to say I did a good job about anything, I would be floating high for year.
Aretha would be so Proud of You ❤
I'm not the 'starstruck' type.. but If I'd met Aretha, I think I'd have made an exception.
Wowww
I love her
Wow!
Jennifer is wearing look 49 from Versace Spring 2021.
FaceTiming with the Obamas is goals. ❤️
To the ones that have comments Jennifer personality and humble persona will continue take her where your opinions wills so keep voicing your Opinions
What she want… baby, she got it
Good Luck at the Oscars Jennifer.
For a nano second, I thought JH looks like my precious KOBE…
Kate Hudson is a great choice! They should do it.
Side note, Seth is such a hottie.
Jennifer Hudson is beautiful af
I'm in awe of why Aretha would have picked her too. I really want to know..
Aretha has been following Jennifer since the beginning. When Jennifer got eliminated from Idol, Aretha invited her to open for one of her concerts. After she won her Oscar for dreamgirs is when Aretha first started talking to her about playing her. She had a few people in mind but I guess she finally settled on Jhud in the end.
That yellow dress is not Jennifer her personality and her humble persona is which take her far So you keep voicing your opinions
Why did her stylist let her go out there like that!!!!
I think the black bustier was actually intentional-personally, I think it looks a little weird, but hey 🤷🏻♀️
I want to see her play a straight role in a comedy / musical movie, against Tiffany Haddish. With a cameo by Billy Crystal
Goddess
To negativity you can apply for stylist, they waiting for you be coach in performance that’s why world is in the shape in because sit pick you apart and you down but to all projecting negative vibes they are on top their game and I’m sure your salary match hers crab mentality always shows up in the bucket 🪣
What the f is wrong with that dead audience? Laughs and claps for queen JHud please!
What the Hell happened to Hudson's introduction and walk to the couch? THUMBS DOWN!! 💔😡
I have to confess something here.
JHud did the best she could, but
it didn't really register on my scale.
For me, Nobody
I say again.....NOBODY
will Ever match The Real Aretha Franklin.
Best to stay home and listen to
The Records and CDs.
Its ur opinion u can have it lol
It was about Aretha Franklins story that led to her finding her self and voice and stardom, Jennifer didn’t try to sing like her because she knew nobody can sing or match the Queen of Soul like Aretha Franklin.
It looks like she waxed a red Corvette with her lips.
