SIMON is honest. That's why he discovers STARS. All of them say this about him and never take it personally. It's worked out for 97% of them so SIMON was right.

​@@ce7768that part!

Jennifer's first interview ... she sung a gospel...quite powerful.They were looking more so towards R&B.

She's very smart and she knewed that Simon speaks the truth's language, but he was rude on the show with Jennifer, and he can admit that today

I love Fantasia, but Jhud out sang Fantasia, it didn't matter, God had other plans for Jhud and it was real.

Awesome Show 🙏🏾

Please, lady, Simon knows his job. I love Jennifer but he was right then... She has a powerful voice that she couldn't control then but is great at it now.

exactly

@@KeepSmiling447 You’re absolutely right. I remember watch AI that season and I love her voice as well but she was all over the place and trying to do too much. It was magic sometimes and at other times it was a complete mess and she didn’t listen to tone down the acrobatic so the audience could get into her voice.

I think his son has softened him quite a bit. It’s great seeing this side of him.

Humbled Simon

And famous actor

Shouting out also to Chris Daughtry too hahaha

really ? leona lewis sold way more than her, do we compare One direction too and 5th disaster ? 😂😂😂😂

No matter how terrible some believe Simon to be, You should notice that those auditioning breath that sigh of relief and a sense of accomplishment when Simon gives them that thumbs up. He has the talent like no-one else and many seek his validation.

you hit the nail on the head

Naw he knows he screwed up with Jennifer, she more than made it!!! Not to mention it was Fantasia's time

❤😊😮 Thanks for Enlightening Us with Your Insight 🧏🙏🏾🙏 ALLELUIA

❤

I swear down, she's got such a strong spirit 💕💕💕💕 sometimes I look at her and I'm like damn , how can someone be so smart, industrious, talented and got a nice character as well.... She's a huge inspiration to many 💕💕💕💕 I guess she really did put in the work😍😍😍😍 May God bless her real good 🥰🥰🥰🥰

She is mature

Exactly didn’t her whole family die ?

@@godslove7928 So true

Stacia Martin You are obviously worldly like her. Birds of a feather flock together. You both need to repent or eternal hell will be your portion. IT'S JESUS OR HELL, YOU CHOOSE !

My thoughts exactly. Simon came across unnecessarily harsh to Jennifer, but at the end of the day, his comments and platform allows her to become the person she is today.

Lol, Jennifer didn't change a thing about her voice, it was her exposure on IDOL that landed her the award winning role in Dreamgirls, and Simon had nothing to do with that.

@@mlane8980 nothing to do with it??? Simon literally created Idol

@@mlane8980 her talent landed her the awards I’m sorry haters 😜

@@stevenbeck stick to the script. I was referring to @Rosannasfriend saying JHUD became a better performer because of Simon. Simon had nothing to do with JHud's star, she was a star when she appeared on IDOL and producers in the entertainment field saw it and cast her in the award winning Dreamgirls.

NO OH HE'LL NO

Yes, she is, I totally agree with you.

True

I think so too

She was an awesome ANOINTED singer from DAY ONE!!!

@@kevcart3789 That's true AND she has grown as a vocalist. She has better control over that magic wand.

😮>

Does she sing at the end of every episode?

@@candyKane117i That's a good question....I am not sure.

Simon has changed a lot since he became a father.

Im crying, one day I'll see JHud in person. I'll go to her show

She likes satin from what i weekly see Just like myself every day in office is only satin blouse and satin skirt and i had 100 of them in my closet😂🤣

The

It's actually a blessing in disguise that she didn't win. Most of the Idol "winners" have not had any noteworthy success, plus there are pesky contractual obligations. Some may not even have much of a career in the business any longer. Jen has surpassed pretty much all of them and is right up there with Kelly and Carrie. Jhud was the first to prove that you don't even have to come close to winning such a show to become a superstar. She lost AI and won everything else. An outstanding journey.

@@LPage-mg2il Kelly Clarkson and maybe fantasia being the only exceptions that I can recall

@@Selene965 Fantasia is talented in her own right, but when I mentioned noteworthy success, I meant mainstream success. Fantasia has had some success as an R&B artist with some hit singles that I really like, but she doesn't have broad appeal beyond an urban audience. Jhud has had the most all-around success (EGOT) out of anyone from AI, receiving the highest honors across multiple lanes within the business. Other than Jhud, Carrie and Kelly are the only others who can truly compare because they have been so massively successful in the music lane, receiving many accolades as well.

JHud didn’t win because she was just not that popular. Today, she still can’t compete with big artists. She has found success doing other things.

@@Clown10 The whole issue of popularity (among other issues) is what went wrong with AI that season. Numerous contestants suffered because of it and should've went further in the competition. It was a mess. This is why AI began to lose credibility from that point forward, and many ppl stopped watching the show. After all, it was supposed to be about talent first and foremost. And speaking of the "big artists" of today, prioritizing popularity over talent has also adversely impacted the industry. Jhud doesn't fit this era because what she and others, like Ledisi and Andra Day, bring to the table is far too overwhelming for the lowered, watered-down standards of today's music business. She would've excelled in a previous era.

She sure did

Me too! 😍

Me too...I cried so hard ..it was so peaceful and beautiful ❤️ with the audience singing, it sounded angelic

I'm so sorry for your loss 💕

Love, Comfort, and Peace to you and your Family this Holiday Season 🙏🙏

So sorry dear

There was never a public apology from him to her. SIMON NEVER believed in Jen he actually said she would never be a solo artist that she should go back to the choir.

Yup, extremely gracious because Simon was incredibly reckless with his words and persistently unkind towards her.

I don’t know America’s got talent is still very popular. He’s definitely the main draw on that show.

Wow, that's Big. I love u❤❤❤. Let's go to church!!!!!

JHud in idol raw JHud here is polished🫡🫡The transformation is real👏👏Lets not forget Daughtry and even Lambert who never won but still successful

The Voice was a great payback 2 hone JHud coaching style and i digging it haha

I always refer to her as a Goddess-in-Training, but I think you may be correct.

Good idea!!

Yeah. Something like Kellyoke except let the audience sing if they can.😄😆

Kelly and Jennifer my favorite idol alumni now haha👏👏

Facts!
