Seriously, that she received a standing obviation for that screamfest at the Oscars is mind blowing. All I was thinking about while she was screaming was "where is Simon when you need him", she was being the same old Jennifer that was kicked out of American Idol. Screaming all the notes, showing no restrain with her voice and overall just doing the song in a tasteless manner.
She was completely outclassed and overshadowed by the rest of the performers who sang on the show. This girl can't sing, she has nothing but screams. -

I just can't stand her. I studied opera many years ago, just for a few years, and sing jazz a bit. Every unknown jazz singer singing her heart out in the many wonderful nightclubs of Chicago puts this talentless, way-the-hell-over-accoladed screaming monster to shame. Simon Cowell was right, and the Academy was dead wrong in honoring her. They've unleashed a screamimg machine that will not stop.

She just don't bring anything new to the table, and as others have said here, all she does is scream, but she has nothing new we havent heard before.
She reminds me of a show called Married People (1990) that starred Barbara Montgomery, who was one of the gospel singing sisters on Amen, with Sherman Hemsley and Clifton Davis.
Della Reese guested on an episode of Married People and she and Barbara Montgomery were suddenly in a wailing duel, making the noises that Jennifer does, but it was funny with those two, but Jennifer acts like she is delivering something. -

I have a theory that she is making more money with her horrible screaming, than what everyone here is making with their horrible writing on this thread. Its just 2000a theory though.
What she is doing is called soulful singing. I know all of you folks think RnB is what Rihanna and Akon et al do, but singers like that would have been laughed off the stage or out of the clubs in the 90s.

Salt-Horizon: "What she is doing is called soulful singing."
She thinks its soulful. I was talking to a fellow at work who watched the 50th anniversary of the march on DC and he was just annoyed by all the 'embellishment' of the music and I knew what he meant. Basically, what Hudson does.
For a while there in the late '80s, shows like Amen, Frank's Place and others were making fun of this idea of singing and very well too.
This is what Hudson reminds me of. Mahalia she aint.
