Accolades mean nothing

Same, same, same. She would me making history!!!

Well as of right now the Hollywood world is not so sure of that. Because after the films release the ratings were really bad and it made very little money compared to what they spent to create it. But what people have to understand is just because Jennifer and the team have been running all over promoting the film doesn't mean that it's going to be a hit. It's the same way when someone comes out with a new CD, book, or anything else.

@@faznout the ratings are not really bad , it's the critics that are trying to tear down the film and most of them are white and dont like to see black directors on powerful iconic projects like these . Usually it would be a white director that directs a biopic of this kind . The critics score is 64 % meanwhile the audience score is 96 % on rotten tomatoes, its clearly not on par, doesnt this indicate something to you ??? If the film is "soooo bad " why does the audience enjoy it soo much that it has an A+ cinema rating .. the audience will always be honest and speak above the critics when there is dishonesty or bias in reviews . It's the same thing they did with bohemian rhapsody and yet the audience loved it . Rami malek still won his oscar . As for box office perfomance it now currently sits at 10 million while it could have been better I think this is still a good start considering we are in a pandemic where people are reluctant of going to the movie theaters and this number is pretty decent for that reason. Respect film sales is not a product of disinterest or failed promotion or failure to be a hit . It can easily be a hit but like many other films are struggling at the box office because of people's reluctance of going to the theatre. Sadly , this will be the case for many films to come in the future . So at the end of the day , respect is not a failure and this is just a debut ... it hasnt even been released in other countries yet . I believe jennifer still has a shot , as long as her performance continues to maintain buzz until awards season peak then she can still win. Of course there will be other contenders but as of now she is in the run for at least a nomination . Critics dont entirely influence a film or a persons award chances at the end of the day it's just their opinions and they aren't academy voters

@@kemariemaragh-campbell6721 - Jennifer fans enjoy seeing Jennifer. There are 2 big differences here. Number 1 is, there are Jennifer Hudson fans that only went to see the film to see Jennifer Hudson. Jennifer could have been Casted to play Minnie Mouse and it would have gotten the same turn out. Number 2 is, there are Aretha Franklin fans that went to see the film to see a small part of her life portrayed on film. So there is a big difference between saying I enjoyed the film and it's entirety compared to saying I only went to see the film to see and hear Jennifer's singing performances. So just because "Jhud" fans liked her singing performances in the film doesn't mean in the eyes of Hollywood the actual film itself is a hit. For many years the way Hollywood looks at these things is on the 1st night of its release they checked the numbers $$$, ratings, and reviews. Comparing what money came in compared to what was spent to create the film. They spent over 55 million dollars to make this film and made less than 10 million the first few nights. So in the eyes of Hollywood the first few nights is all that matters. Not the people who will go see a film a month after it's released.

Watch JHud’s style during tribute to Aretha Franklin. At the end Aretha “literally” picked Jennifer and passed the baton simultaneously.

Nah Aretha wanted Fantasia B. To play her.

@@babydd4 this isn’t true. Patty LaBelle wants Fantasia to play her. Aretha wanted Jennifer.

@@babydd4 lol 😂

@@crystalortega2156 🎯 💯

& if she doesn't?.... because we should know by now just how racist the Oscars are especially when it comes to the "best actress in a leading role " position

She will get nominated. Winning is harder, obviously.

Jennifer's performance did justice to Aretha's magnanimous talents. I was shocked and a but disappointed to learn Ms. Franklin begged Halle Berry to play her in the movie, even when Halle said she couldn't sing. In reply, Aretha said Halle could lip sync. Get real Aretha.

A nomination is a locked but considering her race it will be hard

Viola Davis and Olivia Spencer have won Oscars recently

and a win

Yes, she is simply phenomenal

And she even walked like Aretha. She definitely was Aretha.

Her talent was one of a kind that's for sure

lies lol

Aretha was not only one of the best vocalists but also knew best whom to choose for her biopic 👍👌

YES!!! Queen Ms. Aretha Franklin & Queen Ms.Jennifer Hudson 2 Amazing and phenomenal woman that is brilliantly unmatched and Incomparable.!!!💋❤️😍 #Fearlessly #Royality #Queens 👑👑

You are not kidding. Beautiful skin tone.

Agree

*************

Sure did

Profanity has been on TV for sometime now. Can't use the F word or S word though.

@@JukuduB s word ⁉️, u mean 💩🙃😂on UTUBE ads they say F#$&..... 🤔🙃😮Most language doesn't offend me 🙆its more context....👀. Except for the c-word.... Too Vulgar 🤦

Gayle is so fake

Yess

Kevin Walker ~ not to me !!!!

This is what I’m sayin… I saw the film and Jennifer was Amazing, but I personally felt like Ms. Franklin’s Voice should have been lip synced. Other than that, Jenn killed it… and surprisingly, I’m not hearing enough about Marlon Wayan’s performance… He was incredible. I didn’t see “Marlon Wayans” nowhere in this film, he did a complete 180 in terms of acting and he killed it.

" I SUPER love Marlon Wayans😍 Of course everybody does.!!! I hope he truly receive more recognition for Ms. Franklin's biopic. He surely well deserve it for his outstanding performance he delivered."!!!💯GOOOOO MARLON.!!!💋😍💋

Lmaooo

I am not watching it since the director is capitalizing off of Black heritage in America. Why someone from American roots couldn’t make the movie?

@@jacquelinepeoples379 😂

Aretha never screams

@@jacquelinepeoples379 What??

Ok, Zorro, maybe the current hair wasn't the best choice. But be kind.

@@vt-yp7yq Right?!

@@vt-yp7yqI'm saying the hair and the shirt come on you got to laugh a little

Don’t insult Dora like that…😉💕😉💕😉

@@pinkgypsytees lol

please shutup… just don’t watch the movie if you don’t want to.😭😭

what are you talking about??

Exactly my thoughts She wants out now.

@@YMWL613 It’s something about her….I just can’t rock with..😒

@@pinkgypsytees yeah her hair is a indexation that's something is wrong. I didn't watch the video because the just pictures of her made me feel uneasy. Did you watch it ?

She is thinking. People do that when they have a thought.

@@sct4040 where not talking to ppl like you so go away

I didn't have the balls to say it but ummm she's changing, I'll say that.

howww??😭😭

neither can you 👀

Can you put sing her? I sure can’t

she’s not supposed to sound exactly like Aretha bc she’s not Aretha.. she’s Jennifer

I agree. When I watch a biopic, its more realistic whe they use the original vocals and have the actor lip sync or if the actor/singer at least sounds like the person (i.e., Ray and What's Love Got to Do With It). All I see is Jennifer Hudson doing a tribute to Aretha. I don't see or hear Aretha. Jennifer is a great singer but I don't think she looks or sounds like Aretha.

@@SoniT exactly and she can't do an interpretation worthy of the Diva

shut up and don’t watch the video 😭

You love me too
