The way she softened her voice for the high notes to sound like Aretha, exquisite

You can hear Aretha, and you can hear Jennifer’s personal touch. The balance is amazing!

It's a shame that my generation doesn't recognize JHud as she deserves.

Black women voices are just on a whole mother level man. Much respect

JHud will go down in history as one of the greats! Definitely a legend in the making. She managed to embody Aretha's essence, but still add some of her own flare to these iconic records. OUTSTANDING! 👌🏾🥰

2:46... her tone when she sings "say" my HEART!!!! I have chills and im in tears.

Both Taron Egerton and Jennifer Hudson should count themselves lucky in their lifes For Taron, he auditioned for a drama school by singing Elton John's Your Song, then sing "I'm Still Standing" in an animated movie, star in a movie with Elton, and then finally get to play the legend himself in a biopic fantasy movie For Jennifer, she auditioned for American Idol by singing Aretha Franklin's Share Your Love With Me, sang "Respect" in front of the Aretha, sang at Aretha's funeral, then finally get to play the Queen Of Soul in a biopic movie in which Aretha handpicked her I'm so proud for both of them 😭😭👍👍👍

The love I have for this lady no one will ever understand she never disappoint me yet she always on point 💯 👌 love ur voice it's so powerful and amazing 👏 ✨ 💖......

Aretha knew just what she was doing, when she asked JHud to play her in a movie that is now out, yes Jennifer sing girl I hear every bit of Arethra in these songs. God bless you. the anointing on your voice is magical.

THE RESEMBLANCE IS UNCANNY!!! Especially in the diction and the tone! I've got goosebumps all over. Give this woman an Oscar jeez!

We all know she could've killed this song with her vocals but she kept it simple!!! I salute her for that!

The performance of this song in the movie was definitely a highlight in the movie. The pure emotion she put behind it was amazing.

Wish they didn’t mute down the high vocals in the back, it was amazing in the movie gave me goosebumps

I SAW THE FILM YESTERDAY!!! The recording of “Ain’t No Way” is the single greatest music scene in the film. Aretha’s sister Carol wrote the song and she’s learning it and there’s a film crew there. And her other sister is just belting out those high notes in the background… It’s just SO EMOTIONAL AND SO BEAUTIFUL AND HEARTBREAKING because if her marriage… ugh SO GOOD. The music is STELLAR in the film. Jennifer’s acting is very SOLID but her singing really SHINES and it’s the BEST you’ll EVER hear Ms. Hudson. WHEW CHILE… 👋🏾

The spirit lives through Jennifer and touches us with her talent.

Aretha Franklin smiling in her grave, she would've been proud for Jennifer 👍👍

What I really love about JHud's version is you can still hear Aretha's in it but is still distinctive from the latter.

This smells like an Oscar.

Oh my GOD the sax is everything! Oh my God they did it just like the record. This is incredible. Grammy for best soundtrack ugh chills.

Brilliant! This interpretation is 98% as good as the original-more than we have a right to expect. Jennifer is an Oscar-winning actress with her own unique sound but for a biopic, she is the only contemporary artist who could begin to capture Aretha’s star power.

Why am I hearing Aretha and Jennifer at the same time?! Miss Jhud! You better sing and touch our souls. And there’s ain’t no way that I’m not watching this on the big screen. ✊✨🙌

She understood the assignment snd delivered the answers to the test ♥️♥️

If she don’t get an Oscar for this role she played, Ima be PISSED

When Jhud hit them high soft notes she sounds just like our QUEEN 👑

the respect she gives Aretha in this rendition is so breathtaking :) love!!!!!

Aretha handpicked this young lady with herself in mind. Jennifer is an Oscar born artist! This is Amazing the way she captured the essence of Ms. Franklin in acting and singing!

J-HUDD DID THAT SONG 🔥❤️❤️🔥

Mrs. Aretha would be PLEASED TO THE BONES,She would give a Thumbs-UP!!

I'm so glad Jennifer did this movie. I hopes she carries whats she is doing here to her own music.

She was definitely the best choice for this movie and representing Aretha Franklin. Her vocals are spectacular.

Man, I kinda wish these types of music just played in real life instead of only online.

The background vocals should've been brought more forward. Thats integral in Arethas music

Aretha's spirit is shining through Jennifer this is beautiful to hear and watch that she personally hand pick Jennifer to play her and tell it like it should be told this performance smell like an Oscar congratulations Jennifer 👏❤

The way she has differed this version to her live performance a few years ago is perfect! Both amazing, but with this she has kept Aretha’s spirit while using her own powerful vocal. Impecable blend

I love it that she's singing in Aretha's style ❤️❤️❤️

Did I not just like this video before it could even load.The professionalism. I love how she approached this song in Aretha 's style. She made sure to play Aretha in every song instead of having Jennifer's signature. That's admirable 💯 💯

Aretha anointed Jennifer , the spirit lives on through jhud . Kudos to you Jennifer 😉 you got something special just like Aretha ❤️…. “ AINT NO WAY “ another person could have played Aretha Franklin other than you Jennifer GOD bless you !

She’s the new queen of Soul without a doubt , this voice is unbelievable ❤️❤️❤️

There aren't many female singers who would even attempt to sing this Aretha Franklin classic. Great job JHud, you did the Queen proud.

Jennifer Hudson will do Aretha Franklin justice in everything she does, the voice the talent , everything is amazing and perfection! 🥰🙏🏾

Amazing. She sang in Aretha Style. A real actress . She don't do JHud on vocals .. she embodies so much Aretha Spirit with RESPECT

When Aretha released this song (1968?) I first heard it in my car on my way to a band practice. (I'm a musician) Within the first 8 bars I had to pull over to the curb to give it my full attention. By the time Aretha got to the bridge I was in tears. It instantly became one of my favorite songs and performances of all time. So I took my wife to see the movie yesterday and when this song came around I was instantly transported back into that car at the curb fighting to keep from sobbing out loud. It does not get any better than this!! Thank you, Aretha and Jennifer for sharing your gifts with us.

A música mais esperada por mim ❤️❤️ ansioso demais pra ver o filme

Simply amazing. We know she could sing with more strenght on that pitch, but the respect she paid to the original version it's perfect.

Jhud is my one of my favorite diva's in the world her voice is a force of nature 👑

It’s really a hard job for some signature voice to imitate another signature voice provided that they have different voice types and vocal approaches. JHud has done the best she can. Love her

That high note can end many singers career hail,princess of soul

It's mind-blowing how not-100%-Jennifer this is, it's Aretha by Jennifer. This is vocal genius

YES GIRLL SIIIINGGGGG

JENNIFER HUDSON!! YOU WERE MOST DEFINITELY THE CHOSEN ONE!! DAMN GOOD JOB!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

she is not deemed THE GREAT PRINCESS OF SOUL for nothing. it is clear why she is the soul princess. what a soulful and lovely take on this classic. Just like the Queen of Soul would sing it.

Absolutamente perfeita não vejo a horas do lançamento e da vinda ao Brasil 💚

Has anyone seen the movie? By the god this soundtrack had an uncanny resemblance to arethas version like jhud's version is more bold and loud and sustainaing whenever she's sung it but the way she's literally made it "aretha's version" here is truly amazing ❤️😭

How it ends….Jen captured that bitter sweet thing about this song. Love it

THis is next level in the movie... She had people in tears, chills, goodsebumps. Scene was incredible...

YOU ARE DOING THE 👑QUEEN OF SOUL PROUD 👑 QUEEN JENNIFER !!!! 👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏽 BLESSINGS UPON BLESSINGS DEAR HEART !!!! 💜👑💜

Jennifer is giving us the 60s vibe Bruno is giving us the 70s Abel is giving us the 80s Ari is giving us the 90s

Up there with Whitney, MaDonna, Cher, Tina, Stephanie, Barbara, Liza and Judy, Lauren, Gaga, and etc of women that not only sang yet acted at the same velocity, level of their singing capacity and capabilities ...incredible!!!!

She is a queen of music

i felt presence of almighty 🥺

This song is a masterpiece. Jhud made it her own! 🙏🏾💜

This was good. Makes me appreciate Aretha. There's no match to that voice. True treasure.

THAT VOICE IS GIFT FROM GOD. JUST LIKE ARETHA'S WAS.

Saw this movie at the advanced screening today (08/08/21) and I must say, it was a dynamic performance. This song in the movie is soul stirring! There's a video on KZfaq of Jennifer singing "Natural Woman" in a radio station and I posted my prediction in 2017 (it's still there) that she would win an Academy Award for her portrayal of Miss Aretha.

You don't know how much I love you and how much I love your voice . it's 5:00pm i just woke up just to listen to your voice and see what's up .this right here is what I'm talking about that's .my Jhud love ya

OMG JHUUUUUUUUUUUUUD! FIYAAAAAAAAAA! She understood the assignment and DELIVERED!

Aretha is the Queen of Soul but damn JHud you're the new Queen of Soul! Great job congratulations!!! 🌹

Oh my god!! What a voice. Here’s to another Oscar Jennifer!!!

This is beyond perfection

Girl u better sangggggggggggggggg!!!!

MY GOOOOD Jennifer deserves all the success! Her voice is one of the most powerful I ever heard. You got this Jennifer 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Que voz... una de las mejores de nuestros tiempos.

The movie and the soundtrack is 🔥. They did a fantastic job! Wish I could've watched this with grandmother. RIP granny, Mary Lacey and Ms. Franklin. They all grew up together singing.

Magnificent voice. She's the real deal and a natural. Lady Jennifer truly epitomizes Queen Aretha to the tee👍👏👌🎵🎵🆙️🆙️💯💯. You did her, yourself and us PROUD❤❤. Much blessings ❤🙏🏼

Jennifer Hudson is incredible. Definitely one of the best singers around at the moment, she sings with soul. However, as good, brilliant, spectacular, as this is, it doesn’t even touch Aretha’s version. And that reminds me / puts into perspective just how incredible Aretha was. Jennifer sang this and it was incredible, but for me to feel Aretha’s version was better than this incredible performance? That is next level 🤯, insane talent. She inspired so many singers, many of our legends today; Celine, Mariah, Whitney, were inspired by Aretha, a truly incredible woman. Jennifer nailed this, and added her own flare. She’s astonishing and I just love hearing her sing

She sang every song on the film Live... take after take... amazing

I love this song with you song OMG OMG OMG!!!

Im crying right now ,thanks jhud

JUST BEAUTIFUL VOICE AMAZINGLY GIFTED, TALENTED 👑👠 QUEEN MISS JENNIFER HUDSON🎙🎼🎵🎶 👠👑
