Bossip folk, it’s plain to see that JHud is becoming a bonafide super-star. Our thoughts: the video could definitely use some work, but the chica looks amazing.

What say y’all??

  • Ermy Erm

    Love this song

  • Brianna !!

    go JHUD !

  • SNOOK

    bossip what kind of work do it need this is a wonderful video….stop hating all the damn time…shit

  • fefe

    song is boring and lace front wig is ridiculous

  • MR.LUVA LUVA

    TOP 10—–J-HUD LOOKIN SEXIER BY THE MIN

  • charm

    Top ten… love u j. hud.. I respect a beautiful black woman that actually has talent. U was the shit even during American Idol… get em miss talented…

  • http://~ Kigali(Joyfully Licking The Ass of Random Cracka’s Since 1972)

    I love the song and she looks quite fab, singing it.
    She’s doing her thing~

  • jaysblazin

    Love J-Hud and the video. Bossip get a grip!!!

  • High Life (Perfect Imperfections)

    This song be jammin!!!!!!!!!!

  • GQ’s Own

    Sorry, for her tragedy but the cd was not good and should not have won an award. The video is so-so and she needs to fire her stylist and if she doesn’t have one then clearly she needs to get in touch with one soon.

  • And…

    That video don’t need a mfkn thing except the voice that’s carrying it.

    Unlike OTHERS w/a whole bunch of other distractions to make you WATCH them instead of LISTENING to them.

    Nice video, strong voice, nice wardrobe, flawless makeup…what more do you need?

    What’s even more fkd up is that everybody…media outlets…other celebs, the industry – EVERYBODY is giving this young lady time to make a comeback.

    She comes out w/an appopriate video for the song, her image, style and situation and here BOSSIP comes w/the video needs more work.

    Guess she needs more fans blowing, shorts on, grease on her legs, drums, bass, a crotch shot and a hot hook huh?

    BTCH PLEASE & GIRL BYE….NICE SONG & LOVELY VIDEO.

    Besides the song has been getting mad play for months w/o the video…like I said, unlike others who need a hot video for WHACK & VAPID @ss songs.

  • charm

    Miss AND… Thats as real as it get’s…well put

  • fefe

    b4 anyone jumps on my back this is a GOSSIP site not a FAN site so eveyone is entitled to an opinion good or bad about anyone featured here. and don’t get your knickers in a twist because it might not be something u agree with that is the beauty of having an opinion. i feel that since her tragedy everyone has been jumpng on the badwagon to shower her with acolades, awards etc her material (not talent) so far hasn’t deserved. i don’t feel she has earnt it. and i’m a fan of hers

    ppl need to stop doing this seriously cos i can jus imagine the same if not more being done for rihanna!

  • deafjam04

    Love the song and the video is fine just as it is. It doesn’t need any extra’s, the song/singer carries the video.

  • hope4more

    I like it , plain and that’s simple

  • charm

    Fe Fe you are obviously young and don’t know real talent when it is right in front of you.. patti labell and many great artist (aretha franklin and minnie rippton) is obvisouly something you don’t know about.. your opinion is yours but Lace front wig?? come now…. are you a pocahontas???..LOL

  • dulces4mee

    I like the song

  • fefe

    lol @ charm i wish i was younger than i am
    no she has the talent im not disputing that but don’t u feel that since her tragedy ppl have just been licking her ass a bit too much. i know this is what society does bring down successful ppl and pity those gng through hardship i just think everyone needs to be a bit realistic about her material. because i dotn’t think its that great and how many of you would have still thought it was amazing before oct23.

    lol and her lace front wigs are hopless i know everyone does them minus me but her ones aren’t looking that good. and no again i wish i had hair like pocahontas too

    being positive she has talent beautiful eyes and skin

  • mechepeach

    I dont know if ppl are licking her ass perse…Im guessing people with a heart are empathizing with her and there is nothing wrong with that. I liked the video and song. and have to agree with AND…

    “Guess she needs more fans blowing, shorts on, grease on her legs, drums, bass, a crotch shot and a hot hook huh?”

    I bet if she had that combination listed aboved a lot more ppl would like the song and video…

  • Lisa M

    Video is Ok,..she looks great!

  • Nyah Molineaux

    I dont like the song, but I am glad she is back working.

  • And…

    @ mechepeach & charm….

    Lol @ fefe and whoever saying that people are giving her sympathy.

    At this point I don’t think they are. She didn’t win AI and never gave up. So I think in some form or fashion she has somewhat paid her dues.

    She was told to tone it down, change her image, lose weight…so many things and she just stuck w/it.

    I think that came w/maturity and patience – not given to her.

    Now fefe, if I’m leaving something out feel free to correct me and intercept…but I think she’s a hardworker.

    She wasn’t getting sympathy because she dropped out of the public eye, she made that choice…she didn’t run around w/sunglasses on, talk to the press, make random appearances or the latter.

    I think she did a good job of not playing into the media and using them as an outlet.

    As for her awards…she can sing.

    At this point in her career she gets whatever she deserves.

    Maybe it’s her time, even if it is being overshadowed and in sync w/the deaths of her family members.

  • fefe

    lol ppl with a heart is that an obvious dig at me lol.
    i get it she lost half her family and she is making her comeback yay! honestly good for her what she went through was terrible and no1 should have to go through it but it happened. like alot of other bad things in the world now everyone needs to now be impartial when talking and judging about her MATERIAL because you guys can’t

    plus i mean everything since her comeback has been about poor jen, brave jen and i think even she might find it tiring and patronizing

    plus i really don’t care for the recent booty drums video. the last decade of songs compared to previous decades have’t been too good at all

    but i LIKE the song video is BORINg but i appreciate and rat her talent

  • Angee

    Love JHud, wish her the best!!

  • yeji

    Damn bossip you stay haters……what work does it need???????? can’t you just praise someone without criticism.

  • http://bossip Shaunie27

    SHE LOOKED STUNNING IN THIS VIDEO!!! THIS SONG IS MY FAV TRACK ON HER CD…. CAN’T WAIT TIL THE NEXT ONE DROPS…

    BEYONCE’ EAT YOUR HEART OUT…

  • Nana

    GO JENIFER!!!!!!!!! THIS SONG IS HOTTTTT MAMA!!!

  • fefe

    @ AND
    you put your arguements out is a reasoned and well thought out way which is quite rare on this blog

    i don’t feel that JENNIFER is clawing for attention i just feel its an external thing of the media and everyone on this blog pitying her and the reason why this is hard is because the girl is very talented which probably gets mixed up in my comments about jennifer. i mean obviously ppl are going to feel sorry for her i do too but im feeling tyhat we are continuing this train of sympathy which is influencing everyone’s response to her work

    mark my words i see people doing the same with rihanna.

  • And…

    @ fefe….

    I totally see what you’re saying. I get burntout on people too and their stories & schticks too.

    Even for those who didn’t find the video all that entertaining to say the least it’s refreshing.

    As for the media, can’t stand em.

    Love you one day – hate you the next. Many celebs don’t realize how the media weights, makes or breaks your career.

    If they love you, you get love.

    If they hate you, people hate you.

    If they sympathize, make you a villian…whatever they do that’s all people see.

    However they want to portray, edit you, write about you, play down, exaggerate it can or will happen.

    All it takes it one thing to either blow up & get love or fk up and come crashing down hard.

    I like the song and the video – nice and simple (class) I guess you would have to have someone on your writing staff to be able to know what (class) is. You go JHUD!

  • And…

    @ fefe…

    Lol, you see I didn’t retort about Rihanna in my above comment.

    Shhh…

    We can’t bring that up in here too, Lord.

    That whole fiasco is going to go on into the summer.

    I do mark your words on that.

  • fefe

    @ AND

    lol im watching

    but im glad u can see what i mean

  • I Am Camel Fierce!!

    now THIS IS WHAT U CALL REAL TALENT!!!!!!

    NOT NO SCREAMING ON A DAMN TRACK!!!!! :smile:

  • And…

    Lord if all these chicks had to go in a room w/a mic and fight it out…who would come out alive?

    * Alicia Keys
    * Amerie
    * Ashanti
    * Beyonce
    * Ciara
    * Christina Auguilera
    * Fantasia
    * Jazmine Sullivan
    * Jennifer Hudson
    * Jessica Simpson
    * Kelly Rowland
    * Keyshia Cole
    * Kerri Hilson
    * Letoya Luckett
    * Rihanna

    Mind you I left off a few, some are on the lists for sh!ts and giggles/to mitigate the situation.

    All different voices yes, but who’s the voice that’s going to make it out of the room?

    Did I leave someone out?

  • My Love is Like………..

    LOVE!!!!!!!! LOVE!!!!!!! LOVE!!!!!! Jennifer Hudson. The video was BEAUTIFUL!!!!If you listen to the words of her song you will get the video. Nobody shaking there a** and dropping it like it’s hot just a couple that is in love and he is dancing with her not f**k dancing her. BOSSIP STFU and everyone else with these stupid comments about people just having sympathy for her. Any HUMAN BEING w/a HEART would have sympathy for her, but J HUD has talent and that is what’s shinning right now.

  • My Love is Like………..

    @And
    Leonia Lewis and Joss Stone
    unless you were going for black singers…….But the sound like they are

  • My Love is Like………..

    @ And

    Sorry I see Christina Auguilera on you list

  • fefe

    fanatsia, cole and aguilera don’t ask me why i get that feeling infact i feel most would be able to fight

    who would be left for dead leona, amerie jessica simpson

  • My Love is Like………..

    @ And

    Who would come out alive it would have to be between

    Jennifer,Christina and Fantasia

  • fefe

    *sigh*
    i really feel i should RISE above the petty comments about those ppl with ‘no sympathy’ not having a heart etc because it is really silly and im in serious danger of repeating myself. plus i feel people including myself like to labour on a point in this blog so we all can overcrowd the bandwagon and feel important while we twist other people’s views and contribute our own.

    i trust all can read so im not going to repeat myself, now i have reduced myself to that level i’m going to bring myself back up loool
    @charm maybe i am young ;)

    i think out of all the girls the one who would still be looking good is akeys. the rest without makeup im not sure

  • Jeremy

    Jennifer Hudson has been getting awards way before her tragedy- So to suggest that she is only getting awards because of the situation with her family is ridiculous espicially because she is so talented. People will argue that about Heath Ledger, but his performance in the Dark knight was flawless and there was alot of buzz concerning his performance before he died and alot of buzz concerning JHUD’s album before her family was killed- so how can that be ignored-

    I enjoyed the album and believe she deserved her grammy and any other awards that come her way. This is a great song!

  • Space City Girl

    I LOVE this song! And I LOVE JHud! She’s fabulous! I think the video is perfect for the song! Great job!!

  • Sim1

    She looks great. The song is a little dull tho.

  • fefe

    yeah with heath he was definetly good in dark knight but i’m not sure about the oscar thought ( ill drop that topic though)

    jennifer has been receiving awards etc for her talent but that is only a part of what i’m saying i feel everyone’s attitude (yes ill be assumptive) is very biased to her personal situation now and i feel that this special treatment towrds her should stop. its like britney spears when she had her comeback and was winning her awards.
    i know they aren’t in the same league.
    i know jennifer might/not have deserved the grammy,
    i know other artists have recieved awards which they didn’t deserve,
    i know she hasn’t been milking her situation
    i know she has the talent
    but i still feel this bias towards her i mean look at bossip even they are’t continuing with their usual ignorant selves.

    i think my point will be clearly shown with yes rihanna lol. that is a better example as i personally feel she isn’t that talented and is more of an image

    but im digressing slightly so lemme get back to jennifer hudson. if you feel her song and video is great and she deserved the grammy that is a valid opinion. if others don’t there is another opinion

    but you must admit the part the media play in this, now she is the ‘orphan’ girl who can’t do wrong and has preferential treatment(well deserved in terms of talent) which is influencing subconsciously or not some people’s views to her and her work.

    i’m not saying that if you like her stuff its because you feel pity for her or that her stuff is unworthy of awards or that we shouldn’t feel sympathy for her but let us remove the bias before commenting on her please

    apologies for the essay i am really beginning to bore myself on this topic lolol

  • Marshall’s Wife

    I love Jhud and the song. The video was just ok and I wasn’t feeling the wigs/weaves.

  • Nika

    I love the song and the video!

  • http://bossip.com/81550/more-drama-from-the-50-centofficer-chubby-ross-beef-stunt/#more-81550 me01

    @fefe
    you must really be bored at work, either you like JHud work or you don’t. This has nothing to do with sympathy because people like her music (what happened to her family – like someone posted IF you had a Heart) you would feel for her. This is about her talents – and that she has. Have a great day!

  • mechepeach

    @fefe

    That was not a dig at you it was just my opinion about ppl who are able to empathize (to understand and feel concern for others situation or feelings) rather than sympathize which is two entirely different things.
    Unfortunatley, I dont find much substance or maturity in today’s music therefore I can appreciate Jennifer’s voice and material.

    Not to take anything away from your judgement, I just find the song and video refreshingly mature and age appropriate. I wouldnt want to see or her her singing or doing anything less. Everyone’s opinion is different and mine is so not bc of the deaths in her family.

  • fefe

    @me01
    i must be because i usually don’t comment on this website. everyone has an opinion on everything but it has been interesting hearing everyone’s views and responding. i’m going to go now its practically evening here but i’ll have a good night everyone.

  • fefe

    …have good night too

  • Broadway, NY

    @fefe I feel yo,in fact if you listen closely you hear the background so much over her,I don’t really hear her vocals profuoundly.Jennifer is welcomed to come to Broadway do it live 8 shows a week face the brutalcritics here then we will truly know!!!

  • knottmyhair

    nice video, nice song, she looks great!….BOSSIP i know you guys read this….so chill!!!!!

  • CGJ

    She looks great!

    I like the simplicity of the video – puts the focus on the song, where it should be. A lot of artists are going back to a simple concept (thinking Jazmine Sullivan’s “Lions, Tigers and Bears” video).

  • LN

    3:18.. stunning.

  • barb

    @ And…

    rhianna doesnt want to fight.
    lmao!

    sorry yall. i know im wrong for that.

  • 2turntables & a Mike

    Listen. Jennifer is not joke! She doesn’t have to wear 3000 sparkles – she shines.

  • AWWWWWWWWWWWWSHADDAAAAAP!!!!

    Camel Fierce, who is that Yeti in your avatar? That is some scary shit.

  • AWWWWWWWWWWWWSHADDAAAAAP!!!!

    The song is strong enough by itself. It doesn’t need a lavish broadway production via video to sell it. This simple approach is fine. Let it be.

  • kaylin

    Great voice, she looks stunning but this isn’t her type of song. She’s not a Pop artist and managers are making a mistake trying to convert her, let her sing her style

  • Marshabio

    Amazing voice….sends chills..

    Not exactly top notch material though. Same with Fantasia.

  • Yvonne

    I liked that song before I saw the video. I like Jennifer, she looks beautiful on the video.

    I do wish she would lose just a tad bit more of weight though.

    Imo, Jennifer’s style has always been sort of smooth and mellow. She is not in to the rump shaking type of thing and her video reflects a certain type of class and maturity.

    I am glad to see she is moving on. She deserves the best.

  • ada

    Jhud is an angel and a goddess, I love her most beautiful woman in the world.

  • GIVEDADDYSOMESUGAR

    JENNIFER HUDSON IS SUPER BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD! The video is great. It focuses on her singing and she looks beautiful. Miss Jennifer has real talent and does not have to rely on rump shaking and pyrotechnics to put her over the top.
