How Jennifer Hudson Is a Winner

American Idol was the launching pad for many great musicians. Although Jennifer Hudson didn’t win the contest, she’s had one amazing career. What is more, she won the Best Supporting Actress for Dreamgirls.
Do you remember when American Idol was the number 1 rated TV show? How many years was Paula Abdul at Simon Cowell’s mercy? And don’t forget about our DAWG Randy Jackson. Kelly Clarkson was the first winner 15 years ago and is still relevant.

I believe Jennifer Hudson is a better actress than singer. She’s a fine performer. The Chicago native works hard and directors like that about her.

The celebrity can change expressions at the drop of a dime. Moreover, give Hudson credit for being conscience of the roles she accepts. She’s not hungry for a paycheck. However, she’s ready to deliver topnotch performances. Do you want to see her on Broadway or what?

Without question, her voice was made to be loud and sweet. I feel Jennifer Hudson is unique. Do they even make her pedigree anymore? Watch her American Idolaudition and you’ll see what I mean. Plus, the star shed 80 pounds since auditioning; and she was a spokeswoman for Weight Watchers.
In addition to a striking vocal range, Hudson demonstrates terrific acting range. Her Mister & Pete performance conveys enormous emotions. She’ll take you there. Wherever you want to go, let this Chicago homegirl be your tour guide.

There’s no doubt JHud is a multitalented entertainer. Clive Davis is on the record calling Jennifer Hudson the next Whitney Houston. There’s still some time left for Hudson to produce a few best selling albums.
It seems her movie success has stalled her music success. Right now I believe she should focus exclusively on singing, recording, and touring because Whitney Houston set an extremely high bar musically. This year I expect Jennifer to turn up her music game a level.

The Think Like A Man music video shows the star in glowing light. Coincidentally, I love her Spotlight single. The No One Gonna Love You songstress gets her fair share of love shown from fans and collaborators.

Can you picture a Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Hudson duet? What if Jennifer made a love song with Jordin Sparks? It could be similar to Beyoncé and Alicia KeysPut It In A Love Song.
Final point, Jennifer Hudson is a fighter. She was an underdog. Like Erykah Badu and Jill Scott, she’s got soul. I’m always rooting for her to win on the job and in life.

4 AM Alicia Keys Empire Entertainment Fantasia Guru Jay Hip Hop Jazmine Sullivan Jennifer Hudson Lauryn Hill Love Lucious Lyon Melanie Fiona Musicians Mya Roc Nation soul music Tina Turner Toronto

Why You Love the Soulful Sound of Melanie Fiona

BY: GURU JAY


If it was 4 AM on Saturday and Melanie Fiona was my girlfriend, worrying about my whereabouts would be the last thing on her mind. There’s a good chance after a year or so together, I would put a ring on it. Plus, I’d heal her bruised heart the best way I could.
I’m more attracted to a sweet voice than a pretty smile because you can’t fake the former at least when it comes to singing. I’ve seen many fake smiling faces masquerading behind their makeups and cosmetics. Based on experience love is all about communication.
Like Mya said: Get to know me…”cause I’m more than a souvenir on your trophy case. Love me like a woman.”

 

There is something sincere yet sensual about singing a perfect note and carrying a flawless tune. Melanie has a dynamic style, excellent vocal range along with awesome clarity. The Lucious Lyon sound presented by Cookie Lyon doesn’t have shit on Melanie Fiona. 
Does it help that Melanie Fiona looks like a 25-year-old Halle Berry? Absolutely, but I’ll mainly discuss her fine singing abilities. Isn’t it obvious Melanie makes amazing music?
Right now Melanie Fiona has produced 2 studio albums over 7 years. She had an unfavorable contract, so her situation is understandable. Because of her deal with Roc Nation, you should expect more production from this star.

Fiona sounds like a modern day Tina Turner mixed with Billie Holiday and Etta James. First off, Canadians must be proud because she took her Grammy and music awards back to her hometown of Toronto. Second, there are not many female musicians capable of matching her soulfulness. In the soul genre, Fiona sits in a class instructed by Lauryn Hill. Her classmates include Alicia Keys, Fantasia, Jennifer Hudson, and Jazmine Sullivan.

American Idol Danny Strong drama Empire Fox Hip Hop Hollywood Jennifer Hudson Lee Daniels musical Naomi Campbell R&B rap Rita Ora soap opera Taraji P. Henson Terrence Howard Trai Byers TV

Who’s Watching Empire?

BY: GURU JAY


I reserve Wednesday nights for Empire. Do you? If you want a VIP treatment, then take a seat around the TV starting at 9 PM EST each Hump day.
Finally, this drama is no longer a fad. Empire is a trending topic on Twitter and via word of mouth. Everyone in town is talking about this show.
There are a lot of burning questions. Let’s discuss whether music mogul Lucious Lyon (Terrence Howard) will kill someone else? Why is Cookie Lyon (Taraji P. Henson) snitching to the FBI on her ex-husband? What will happen once Lucious discovers Cookie’s involvement?
More prime time TV shows should have limited commercial interruptions like Empire. It seems the producers have a big budget to play with. So, expect only the best from here on out…
Jennifer Hudson and Rita Ora will appear on  tonight’s Empire show. I can’t wait to see Hudson perform because she’s a great singer and wonderful actress. Also, seeing the Black Widow songstress on TV will be a treat.

After watching the first three episodes, I have a couple ideas. 1. To maintain his kingdom, Emperor Lucious will bribe the police. 2. Low class Cookie will go back to prison because she’s afraid to testify against Lucious.

Is it nice to see Naomi Campbell on camera or what? Who can play the cougar role better than the seductive supermodel? Hopefully her character receives more attention.
Lucious’s oldest son, Andre (Trai Byers), inherited his father’s twisted traits. Andre, who is a lawyer, made an alibi for his dad to the police. As the blood thickens, so does the plot.
Creators Lee Daniels and Danny Strong debuted Empire on January 7, 2015. The show has already been renewed for a second season. What is more, they picked the right time slot after American Idol.
