Are you more a fan of her singing or her acting?

What a shame she's so underrated. She has one of the most powerful voices in the entire music industry, and she seems like a really nice lady.

Jennifer Hudson is not doing good because she refuses to dress trashy and lip sync like the other "singers" and I say, good for her. This is why music industry is suffering in today's online world; turning their back on talented singers like Jennifer Hudson, and uplifting singers that can't sing, but are willing to walk around almost nude on stage.

She's talented both ways . She has the best voice . She doesn't show of her body to sell her music .That's why she has class

I see Jennifer Hudson everywhere so I don't know how the fuck she flopped. Saying that studios didn't want to book her because her family was murdered makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE AT ALL. That angers me to no end bc it was so stupid.

You obviously need anything to talk about. J-Hud is brilliant.

She's no failure in my eyes. She's Very talented. GOD Knows the plans HE has for her. I pray she will continue to prosper in HIS eyes. Hollywood stop using people and ruining people's LIVES!!!!!

Her career seems fine to me.

For a flop y'all named a lot of shit I'm never gone do lol...

she is the most successful American idol contestant who wasn't even a winner

She’s not YA’LL definition of successful but to me she won & winning 🤷🏽‍♂️ I always see on TV every year so to me that’s pretty successful 💯

Yet she will be a judge on The Voice this upcoming season

she's on alot of tv shows etc here in the UK so she hasn't exactly fell off...😒😒

what exactly is your definition of failure??😒

She's so damn perfect!! Why would she ever be considered a "flop"??? That's bullshit......

She is playing Aretha in the movie Aretha.. soon going to be released. May be she get another oscar nom

Personally. I don't see where she failed at anything....this commentary seems quite inaccurate and judgemental. She is still and always will be a talented singer and actor.

Beautiful voice, it was obvious in 2007 when she sang the dream girls medley alongside Beyonce. Jennifer's voice was so powerful that not even Beyonce can outshine the talent of Jennifer Hudson.

all of that sounds like she doing fine to me

I don't think she's much of an actress, but her singing talents are impeccable. I wish there were more Jennifer Hudsons on the radio rather than the crap that is played now.

Im not a big JHud fan but she definitely deserves more credit than she's given. She seems to have a very strong personality and that may not gel with everyone but her talent is undeniable.

Jennifer is a black beautiful and highly talented lady - - - and after her Stellar Tribute of "Purple Rain" for the Beloved late Prince, she will always be a fan of mine. You Go Girl!!

I cried when I heard her sing golden slumbers in the beginning of the movie sing! She has such a beautiful voice

She's just had a lead role in Sandy Wexler, she recently won The Voice UK with her act and now she's due to judge the next season of The Voice US! Oh yeah...she's really hit a slump in her career....

so besides taking breaks to grieve and then start a family she has been working pretty consistently in film(mainstream and indie), tv, and stage as well as creating music. what more does she need to do?

Jennifer's charisma and natural talents are extraordinary and although we're not seeing her in leading roles or as the star in big production TV series, she's doing her thing. She is so mesmerising on screen that all it will take is a casting director to see past the 'Oscar winning superstar' to her range. If she can bear it (because these things can really take over your life), I see her as the lead in a big bucks Netflix series that will remind people what she can do.

Jennifer Hudson, is not an actress, she is a singer in a half . That woman have some pipes.

Sometimes it isn't "good" to be super hot early in your career/out-of-the-gate as celebrity and popularity are ever fleeting. I think it's more important for a talent like J-Hud (and even Fanatsia) to have a slow, steady rise, so when you finally make it to the top, you can truly enjoy being there.

I love to her sing HALLELUJAH and a CHANGE IS GOING TO COME. She can sing a book 📖 and I am so very proud of her.

I believe she'll bounce back as they said give her time, the woman has a extraordinary voice

She's doing just fine. She's like the Patti LaBelle of our time. Talented with maybe not many hits, but a solid, steady career. She'll be just fine.💜

What do u mean won't cast anymore she is in a new show on Netflix

I think shes good. She's gonna be alright..

Named a lot for someone who's "not" doing so well...movies, albums, tv shows, endorsements, commercials, awards, judging on a very popular show, etc...if she's doing bad then I'm doing terrible w/ my little nurse license 😂😂 right!

rip jason, i grew up right around the corner, jennifer, jason and i all went to yale elementary school, together, jason was such a sweetheart, we used to sneak out the house and smoke weed together, rip my friend

Those deaths were literally the price of the fame 'the industry' allowed her to have. Really should read and understand the small print in those contracts...

Celebs have ups and downs in their career. That's normal, so in my opinion this video being titled "Why Hollywood won't cast....etc" is only for attention. LOVE YOU JENNIFER HUDSON!!!!

I love Jennifer no matter wat, she has one of the best voices, u rock gilr, the world always has its own standards keep yours

Now she is starring as “Aretha Franklin” in the upcoming movie. Let’s not forget she is now a International Star in 2019.

The disappointment was that they expected Jennifer to somehow replace Whitney and she hasnt even came close to filling those shoes..

Wtf, j hud is great! ♡ The face of underrated people. :'(

She doesn't need Hollywood, shes the queen of tributes. When they need someone to sang with some soul they need her she doesn't need Hollywood. I hope she charges the hell out them.

She has to focus more in music because her talent is enormous. Sad to say the label dont promote her much

sounds like she is still laughing all the way to the bank and back.

She hasn't exacaxtly gone into obscurity... maybe the right role hasn't come about yet.. damn.

Jennifer Hudson is a huge talent and a beautiful person. I wish we could see her more.

SHE IS PERFECTLY FINE !!! She is the epitome of success !!! I LOVE her since the beginning !

This is so wrong. She's still considered "A list" and her career is going well. She's just being smarter about the offers she receives. Her families murder didn't cause harm to her either. If that's the case, other celebrities, who have had such tragedies, would have fallen off the Hollywood radar as well. She's doing just fine. Don’t get it twisted.

The fact that she he was able to conquer all of these roles, makes her GREAT!

She has only just begun. We've only experienced an appetizer of what she has inside. Give her some time. She has a good head on her shoulders. A talent like hers is destined for more success. I believe in JHud!

I love her singing and her acting. Love her in both the Secret Life Of Bees, and Winnie Mandela. Her marriage and weight loss was ecstatic. I admire her simply because no matter what mess is intentionally thrown her way, she is a survivor - who needs the accolades of people who judge you for beauty any how. My hero! She has a husband, children, and a career - go Jennifer.

Then why is she now going to be a coach on the voice?

When your'e early and have nothing to comment😂

At the end, she still rises in my eyes!!!!!

She is one of the best singers in the world we can put her in list with Aretha franklin and Gloria gaynore and Whitney Houston

Because they jealous of her amazingness!!!!!!

Shidddd she doing way better than me. 🤷🏽‍♀️ She poppin! I love JHud.

2017: “Why Hollywood Won't Cast Jennifer Hudson Anymore” 2021: Respect in theaters August 13

Singers today just fade away. Great singers like Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, Patti LaBelle, Whitney Houston live on forever. Jennifer Holiday came back and so can Jennifer Hudson.

This is a REACH.

I love her voice and her acting is ok.. She needs to stick to her singing though, that's where she really shines!!

She lose popularity, but she has been working all of this years and the most important thing, she didnt lose her talent. And this year thanks to be coach on the voice usa she is going to be popular again. Waiting for a hit from her.

She has gone through a lot. It's so sad that they don't get to see and appreciate how good she is with her voice and acting. I saw how they underrated her in many stages of her life but I believe she is strong and will emerge great someday, ever more powerful. Everything takes time, she will be there very soon. I'm so glad that she got to love herself every day.

Love her

she hasn't fallen off,

Girl you don’t know what you talking about she still working and black Americans will always support her and keep her booked and busy because we love her, see you in theaters this year on my birthday 8/13 to play Ms Aretha Franklin, we love you Jennifer

She will never stop being amazing! I love this woman. Strong,smart,beautiful and very talented.

I thought she has been a judge on The Voice franchise, and will possibly be a judge in the next season of the American version of the very popular show... And she just came out with a new song that's doing pretty good... And this video was very contradicting, you all basically name her accolades, and then said she was doing bad... 🤔

Jennifer Hudson has a beautiful soul what a icon I can't wait to see her on The Voice this season

Jennifer, is now shooting the role of Queen of Soul. Can't wait to see it!!!

1:35 - CORRECTION: Someone has probably pointed this out already, but William Balfour was not Julian's father. Julian was Jennifer's sister Julia's son from a previous relationship.

Isn't she going to be on The Voice? This Nicki person plays too much.

But she's in a movie with Adam Sandler... coming soon, and now will be a judge on the voice. # stopthehate

Just because you don't see an artist here in the states DOES NOT mean they aren't working or making money!!! Hello U.K.!!!!! And she is huge over there like Kelly Roland!

She still got it she will rise

Jennifer is doing fine. You need to be researching what happened to the winner that year Fantasia. She gets less Hollywood jobs than Jennifer. And what happened to Ruben Studdard?

I remember me was one of the best r&b albums that year. she got snubbed.

Thanks Enjoyed. I Love Jennifer Hudson. Such a Hidden Gem. She has a Voice that is Beautiful! I Miss Hearing or Seeing Her on the Big Screen.

I hope she do well. young and talented. May u have an awesome career.

I dont know what this narrator is talking about, JHudson has had a very very very successful carreer.

Is Jennifer out of work? I just saw her on The Voice here and she won the Voice UK. gShe is not taking the traditional route of recording and touring. She likes doing different things

Jennifer Hudson has an amazing voice and she is a great actress.

give this lady space...she is a good spirit...and I am sure there is much more than we need to know. Privacy...Good Luck Talented Jennifer and find you!

All I see is talent. Some singers can't act. And some actors/actresses can't sing. She does both very well.

..... she is doing great this video makes absolutely no sense

if she had a weekly musical show it would be incredible no doubt.

She has her own talk show as of now! Woot! Woot!

OMG, she lost her mother, brother and nephew in the most tragic way possible, how many us would be able to continue after enduring such a tragedy. And all of this measuring of sales etc. and movies that (supposedly) flopped. Who cares! She is a strong Queen with more talent in her fingernail that most of the so called singer/actors out there. She knows her worth and she is doing just fine.

Are you guys this desperate for news to talk about. There is no stall on her career. She's a singer. Find lies somewhere else. Ridiculous!

Jennifer Hudson is TALENTED AND BEAUTIFUL. SHE IS A STAR, just not overexposed, which is a good thing.

Does Hollywood not have eyes and ears?? I love Jennifer! She's beautiful and multitalented. She is still a star! Hire her!! Hollywood your bias is showing, pull it up. You go, girl!

I was a big fan of hers at first. I liked her style, I liked her voice, I liked that she wasn't skinny and that she was so confident and positive about her size; as someone who was dealing with being bullied and my own body issues/EDNOS at the time, I found her refreshing and relatable and it was awesome seeing a bigger woman gain success and achieve things and be praised and NOT be put down for her weight. Then she lost all that weight, started being pro-skinny, had all these interviews basically trashing her former size, and it was very alienating and I lost a lot of respect for her after that, because growing up I had looked up to her as a role model and suddenly she was reaffirming the same hurtful things I'd been told so often.

Jennifer Hudson albums never reached platinum. The last one reached sheetrock status.

Jennifer Hudson is one of the most beautiful women in the world. I think she'll always land on her feet.

I always like Jennifer Hudson. I was soo proud for her having lost wt. and overcomming such a big family tragedy. I wish her the best of luck and look forward to seeing her on The Voice next season.

Who the f*ck is Nicki Swift and why is she dissing on Jennifer Hudson?!! For her to say that Jennifer's career is going downhill is ridiculous. And Nicki Swift is misleading folks when she states in her video that Jennifer had a failed singing career and that is why she tried her hand at acting? What??? Who is this trick? And why is she trying to sabotage Jennifer's career?? Jennifer won an Academy Award for her first acting gig and that's when she discovered that she's a natural on camera. Since winning the highest award in Hollywood, she's been honing her acting skills and appearing with top name actors on the small and big screen. That is how you develop your skills and make it in Hollywood. Either way, while she's improving as an actor, her phone is ringing, and she's getting paid...OKAY! Also, Nicki Swift when it comes to her real talent, who can out sing Jennifer? NOBODY! Which is why she's always singing in some movie, or on somebody's stage. Nicki Swift throwed so much shade at Jennifer, I thought we were having an eclipse! Then she tried to give her a pat on the head like she's soothing the pain of a dog. This trick stepped too far, and I'm just the one to put her back on her designated corner. So, once again I'll ask...What the f*ck is a Nicki Swift?

She's very talented, I'm sure she'll be an E.G.O.T. winner one day

So nice seeing a sister who feel she doesn't need hair flowing down her back.

You go Jennifer - NEVER QUIT

OMG her husband is so handsome
