Jennifer Hudson might need to find a new single that is going to be a blockbuster, because I’m not sure she’s finding it with the songs she has now. I vote she go record some new songs with the critiques that I’ve offered her and other fans, and do a re-release in a month or so. A “Deluxe Edition” if you will. Because the album in its current version isn’t doing anything for me at all.

This performance didn’t really move me either. It felt out of sync, she felt slightly behind the music (which was may have been intentioned, but even then…), and it didn’t get ineresting until the end. Even The Roots couldn’t spice up this song. And it’s not that it is Jennifer voice — it mostly the lack of strong material that she has.

She should make “Don’t Look Down” a single, and take the Motown motif of that song to the max, make an epic video, and come up with some kind of huge contest behind it. That’s my vote.

What do y’all think?

J. Hud took a few of her singles to run them past the yt folks and see if they could dance to them.

They could.

Jennifer’s brand of singing on this record just overpowers EVERYTHING, including the smooth moves of the “Dancing With The Stars” dancers. I couldn’t even focus on them because I was trying to figure out where the hollering was coming from LOL. “Don’t Look Down” is one of the few salvageable records from I Remember Me, and I mostly like it because of it’s old Motown feel. “Feeling God” is probably more suited for “Dancing With The Stars” with its brand of big bang feeling and semi-waltz feel.

Her background singers were blazing for the most part right along with her. Shouts to them.

But yeah, these live performances still aren’t making me love these songs at all…

J. Hud went to AOL to sing for the cameras and help this sophomore album of hers which is struggling on the charts (or at least it is in my mind). I’m so disappointed in this latest album, and the more I listen to it, the less it sticks to my ribs and I want to keep trying to MAKE it to.

Above she sings “Angel”, and I’ve also included the clips for “I Remember Me” and “Where You At” after the jump. To be fair, she sounds decent, but these songs are just soooooo mediocre that I don’t even care. Honestly. These songs are all just background noise to me. I hate that I didn’t fall in love with this album of hers. If you missed the review, check it here.

Now I love Jennifer Hudson, but this song does NOTHING for me, and I thought this performance was pitchy and sounded a bit amateurish for her.

This song has no dynamics at all to me I feel like either. It all starts on level 8 and ends up on level 11. AND I hate that the name/hook of the song is “Where You At”. So hood.

I’m SO cool on the album if it going to sound like this, but I really really hope it doesn’t. That’s my girl!
