And yeah, yeah — she won the Oscar. No, seriously — great for her. But remember her acceptance speech? Not gracious or humble in the least. Next up — the album. I thought this was really going to be her time to shine and show the world who she really is. And I really loved that album.
Spotlight was my jam. But the album flopped. It sold a decent amount, but in comparison to what it should have sold — it was a commercial failure. Her singles just kept getting pushed back and switched out for other songs because of poor public reception. And then finally the album just died. Gurl was not good. And then the horrible, unthinkable tragedy happened to her.
Her family members were murdered. It was terrible and heartbreaking, and I was genuinely upset for her. And so was the rest of the world. For the first time, people connected with her. This should have been a new beginning for her. I started to see J Hud resurface in her Weight Watchers commercials and was so excited she was back on the scene. I was proud of her for coming through all that shiz and getting her life back together. And then Where You At?
And oh. Loved it. But in all her interviews to support the album and the weight loss, the arrogant and cocky J Hud was back with a vengeance. Worse than ever. Flew outta Chicago the night before her show taping to go to a party in Texas.
And then got trapped because of a snowstorm. And showed up like 6 hours late and made the O Team scramble around trying to fix that shit. She was out of control, and the Big O put her in her place.
Somebody had to do it. And now, her new album is kinda tanking too. Not because it sucks. Maybe you should take a note from my beloved Britney and let your tracks show every once in a while.
If only people liked you. You know, the people that pay for that expensive nutritional and workout team she probably got to help her lose weight that I would love to have myself?
Poor J-Hud. Some people are their own worst enemy. Haha — I love how un-technological we are! I just got my very first TV last year, and I forget to watch it all the time. That said, we still think television is a good path for Hudson, especially as Ryan Murphy continues to revive the careers of so many major movie actresses. Seriously, why hasn't he cast Hudson on American Horror Story yet? However, only one single, "Where You At," was a hit. She reinvented herself for her next studio release.
Alas, that was a flop, selling a mere 24, copies in the first week of its release. Billboard even suggested her Oscar win in was potentially damaging her music career. We don't want to suggest that Hollywood won't cast Jennifer Hudson because she experienced horrific personal tragedy. Rather, it's worth noting that the star's attention has been focused on the monumental task of enduring in the wake of great sorrow — not picking the right gown for a red carpet stroll.
In October , while celebrating her debut solo album's success, Hudson was rocked by news that her year-old mother, Darnell Donnerson, and year-old brother, Jason Hudson, had been murdered at their home in Chicago. Her 7-year-old nephew, Julian King, was later found shot dead in an abandoned vehicle.
William Balfour, the estranged husband of Hudson's sister, Julia, and father of Julian, was charged with the murders and sentenced in to life behind bars. Despite the horrific tragedy, the singer told Oprah in that she had learned to forgive her family's killer. The grief Hudson faced after her family members were murdered was immense, yet she somehow carried on and forged a future with her partner of ten years, former pro wrestler David Otunga, and their son, David Daniel Otunga Jr.
Hudson spoke about the challenge of discussing her family's tragedy with other people. At the time of this writing, Hudson and David Otunga are undergoing a nasty split and custody battle. One of the smartest things Jennifer Hudson has done so far was land a role in 's Sex and the City movie. Sure, some argued that the film, in which she played an up-and-coming assistant to a rich, depressed white lady, felt like shades of 's Gone with the Wind , but from a career perspective, Sex and the City did wonders for Hudson, exposing her to an even wider audience with a built-in, die-hard fan base, while setting her up for the chance to return to a major movie franchise.
While Hudson dropped hints about a possible third Sex and the City movie, we find it hard to believe that will come to fruition. Let's remember that the sequel earned scathing reviews , three Razzie Awards , and weak returns at the box office. I'm not gonna argue or defend my position. I don't need to. All one needs do, is just open your ears and just listen to her.
I read your post about meeting her. You said she didn't impress you and you say that leads you to hate. Wow, what's going on in your life? Seriously, I don't get it. I think she's very talented. I loved her in Dreamgirls. She's very attractive since she lost weight and I don't see why she can't work all the time.
I only know her thru weight loss commercials and her Super Bowl commercial and she didn't do a very good job reading those cue cards. I'm guessing her actual acting is better than that? I like her. She scream-sings sometimes, but her recorded music is actually pretty good. And I like that she survived her family's tragedy with dignity. She has a great voice but is generally a terrible actress.
She was good in Dreamgirls because she can play anger well. In every other movie, she's laughably bad. We still make fun of her acting in that Sex in the City movie. This is really pointless bitchery.
She should be the patron saint of DL. She was fat, lost weight, kept it off, been through tragedy, engaged to a guy on the downlow. I find her grating and one-note but she's a hell of a lot better than that vile piece of country trash, Fantasia. I like her too. She's a prole and she hasn't let celebrity get to her. She started out in the grueling cruise ship circuit, so she can deal with the public as it really is and she's not afraid of hard work.
The public voted her off the show twice and then she was given a third chance. After being voted off a third time a sixteen-year old white male, the one with red hair who sang Sinatra songs, began receiving threatening phone calls, calls that were so bad his family reported them to the show's producers. When the white kid in question was voted off Simon Cowell said to him, "You have taken every bullet thrown at you like a man.
I wish all of our contestants could be like you. Gee, odd way of complimenting someone, "every bullet thrown at you like a man", and "I wish all of our contestants could be like you". Wonder who Cowell was referring to? I wonder who gave out the number to reach this little kid? Hudson and her camp perhaps? I fucking hate the typical South-Side-of-Chicago-racist-bully-bitch. Besides, she doesn't sing, she yells and the industry seems to like her more than the public does.
R31, it's not just 'what' you wrote, but also your tone. It's so clear: you're a miserable human being. So fucking negative. Good luck in life. R34 Nothing negative about simply stating a truth that the public is probably not aware of. Just keepin' things real, bro. You think a white contestant on American Idol who did that to a black contestant would go anywhere near as far as Hudson has?
On the day she was finally voted off for good she wore a silver get-up that made her look like a baked potato with legs. Don't know how any gay man on earth could defend her after that. Some have mis-remembered her season on Idol. She was not the favorite when she was eliminated in 6th. Her performances were generally mixed. She wasn't even the best Black singer LaToya.
At best, she would have gone 4th. Here's a list of all the controversies about American Idol, including Elton John's observation of what happened. Did you know the person u now call ur best friend you wont speak to in five years.
IMO JHud's vocals are only too loud when she's live, but on her albums she sounds great. She is one of the great voices of her generation. Racist thread. That's no secret. She is an oscar winning actress and a very successful singer. The only reason she is not getting big budget roles and 1 singles is because of racism. There are way too many white people taking the jobs. It's bullshit. Anyone who has supported white actresses are part of the problem. We all know that's true and I'm not afraid to say it.
If the public would stop supporting white actresses this kind of thing would go away. Stop it already. It's hilarious how some of you are so bitter and b itchy about Jennifer but love the Housewives of wherever. Yeah, real talent lovers. Hudson's not a great singer nor is she a great actress but compared with some of what passes for either she's the love child of Ella Fitzgerald and Viola Davis.
She "took" Beyonce Knowles' Dreamgirls Oscar, crushing her in the process and Knowles has never gotten over it. For that alone I hope that JHud has a long and successful career.
Unfortunately OP and many other of the rather bitter bitches here have never had a man tell them:. R51, You are a racist cunt. I am a proud black man and I'm getting tired of sick racist fucks like you calling me white. You are a prime example of why I hate white people. You can call me whatever you want but it won't change a damn thing. You are a racist fuck and calling me white ain't going to change that. R55 is a nutjob. Referring to yourself as a "proud black man" on DL is a sign that you are not.
It's the DL equivalent of saying "I'm a caftan-wearing eldergey who dials telephones with a pencil", or "I am a plus-size frau obssessed with E.
