I know I am not the only one who thinks that her version of "And I am Telling You" sucks. And I really mean it.
They have been playing it on local radio stations in my area, and boy, does it sound really bad to me.

I like it. But it could never top the original.

I like her singing and everything, and I do think she's very pretty, but...
I don't think she can act. Her line readings were painful. People bash Beyonce's acting, but I thought Hudson's was just as bad. Ergo, I hope she doesn't win the Oscar. She needs to grow as an actress.

I don't think she'll win the Oscar, if she does it'll be a joke like Marisa Tomei winning. I voted for her when she was on American Idol because I thought she had the best voice. I really loved her dress on the Golden Globes. I was pissed that on the E show "Fashion Police" they didn't even show her. I loved her dress becasue it was nice, simple and anyone, even me could wear it. Her version of "And I am Telling You" can never beat Jennifer Holiday's version, and BTW, Jennifer Holiday STILL sounds great, I saw her on Broadway a few years ago. They should have asked her to do a cameo in the movie since Lorette Devine had a cameo. I have a feeling in a year she'll become as annoying as Beyonce and J Lo.

I hope not, but I have an inkling she might. I just hope she sticks to acting and doesn't release an album, or a clothing line, or anything else. She has talent and I would hate to see her throw that away in the name of money. Yes, she is very famous right now, but if she messes it up, she could end up obscure. She can't take on things that she doesn't have the ability to perform in.

I think somebody might ask her to do a clothing line, no clue as to whether or not she'd do it. I can see someone thinking it would be a good idea for her to have a clothing line for us plumper girls, perhaps involving the words bootylicious and glitter with a Lane Bryant tie in.
If she does release an album what sort of music would it be? Her voice doesn't seem suited to the pop music out now, and an entire album of ballads that showcase her voice would get tiresome.

She is releasing an album. Clive Davis is producing it.

I saw Dreamgirls last night and I thought she was great in it. Like a lot have said here, I really believed every word out of her mouth. And her voice was just amazing. I knew she could sing from Idol and that, but she never really blew me away on that show. But I was very impressed by her in this movie. Particularly for a first timer, I thought she was great.

I could see her doing an album of ballads and sweet pop songs, somewhere between Sade and Corinne Bailey Rae. I hope she doesn't go hard for the Top 40 charts because her sound isn't what the teens are listening to nowadays. There's an opening in the "stand there and sing real good" market that she could fill. She has dramatic talents that could work very well in concerts in theaters, sort of like Streisand.
I hope to heck she doesn't do hot pants and ass shaking with Timbaland beats.

I don't think she'll win the Oscar, if she does it'll be a joke like Marisa Tomei winning. No - it'll be a huge upset if she doesn't win. She's won most of the major awards leading up to the Oscars and nearly every critic has singled her performance in Dreamgirls out in their reviews as excellent. She's the front runner right now - it would not be out of left field for her to win as it was when Tomei did.
