Jennifer Hudson is BETTER than her first CD!
0 of 1 people found this review helpful.
I am a true fan of Jennifer Hudson. I wanted her to win "American Idol" the year that she competed; I was so happy with her performance in "Dreamgirls" and her powerhouse "diva" voice outshone Beyonce in the film. Her version of "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going" was even better than Jennifer Holliday's version in the 1980s! Hudson also deserved the Oscar she won for the film.
Her single from this CD, "Spotlight" is one of my favorite songs of this entire year. It rates an A+! I bought that single CD months ago. I eagerly awaited her debut album which was delayed due to her successful movie career. I AM THOROUGHLY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS ALBUM THOUGH! Someone with a voice like Jennifer Hudson should NOT "sell out" to rap and hip hop; she has too beautiful and powerful a voice to do that and I blame the producers of this CD. Other than the first cut, "Spotlight," and the "Dreamgirls" rendition of "And I'm Telling You.........," this CD is a complete mess. The duet with Fantasia is enough to have one running for the aspirin bottle! Her rap/hip hop duets with T-Pain and Ludacris are SHEER HEADACHES! Therefore, two good songs on this CD that contains 13 (UNLUCKY NUMBER?) cuts is not worth the buy; do yourself a favor and wait on another Hudson CD that is BETTER than this, which she is capable of.....or buy the single long-playing CD of "Spotlight," which is incredible. I would NEVER have bought this CD if I had ONLY KNOWN..............Miss Hudson is one of the best singers I have ever heard; even as good as the early WHITNEY but THIS DISAPPOINTING debut album does not reflect WHY I BECAME AN INSTANT JENNIFER HUDSON FAN YEARS AGO ON AMERICAN IDOL!
SHAME ON THE PRODUCERS OF THIS CD; I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT JENNIFER WILL RETURN TO HER ROOTS OF SINGING BEAUTIFUL POWERHOUSE BALLADS INSTEAD OF THIS MUSICAL MESS..................
