      He had to eat crow. He was the 1st guest on her show. He claimed when he saw the song choice the show had chose was country he knew then she would struggle. It is a reality show. The winner was already picked before the show started like all reality shows. It enabled Jennifer to put her name out there and she ran with it.

      year 11 isn't equivalent to grade 11 but in the UK you do your GCSE's in year 11 so you're 15/16 years old and then if you go to 6th form/collage you can study A Levels for 2 years which is the qualifications that get you into university and you take those exams at 17/18 years old.

    Simon must be pissed every time they sing this song in one of his shows; it must remind him of how dismissively he treated Jennifer Hudson during her season, and how he did not predict great things for her...and yet she went on to win an Oscar and have a still thriving Hollywood career.

      @@joeyw9574 Yes. And you do realize that nine out of ten people will still recognize this as a song from a box office hit that won Jennifer Hudson an Oscar, and made her more famous than Jennifer Holiday ever was, right? Holiday had 15 minutes of Broadway fame when she won a Tony in the eighties for Effie, but Hudson gained movie stardom and instant celebrity when she played Effie in a hit film that also starred Beyonce and Eddie Murphy...

    100% best vocalist this shows ever seen. The only worry I have is that there aren’t enough songs written that will allow her vocals to be UNLEASHED. Someone will have to write songs created specifically for her abilities. Like the greats! Bc she is definitely already one of that class.
