I've had the press release album for a while now, but I do agree, she sounds Amazing, and I really do like the orchestrations.
...What happened next, was stranger still, a woman breathless and afraid, appeared out of the night, completely dressed in white. She had a secret she would tell, of one who had mistreated her. Her face and frightened gaze, my mind cannot erase...But then she ran from view. She looked so much like you...

SHE sounds fantastic, but what the hell is going on with the orchestrations in the middle section?

Edit: Okay, hopefully the final product is more polished. Jennifer's vocals are amazing, though.

I tried to resist, really I did.

I will say I'm glad that it may end up being more polished on the film, but I mean, wow. No other word to describe it, WOW. I do think it's as good as Jennifer Holliday's rendition. Of course there a differences, but it definitely equals it.

I just can not wait for this movie to be released. I definitely think there is no way she will not win the Oscar this year, and if she does it'll launch her career in massive ways. Will the film win Best Picture? It's possible, but I have no doubt that she is going to just shine in this film.

The orchestration sucks, but she sounds amazing.

To me, she sounds like a mix between the best of Lillas and J.Holliday but with a bigger range than either of those two ever had. It doesn't come off as heavy as Holliday's rendition but it's definitely emotional and definitely a very top-notch performance of that song. I smell SOME kind of nomination.

Simply amazing. She did not fail me. And the orchestrations are really fantastic. I've been listening to it non stop. I can move on now from the horrors of the concert recording.

I hate it if Beyonce will get all the credit (which is currently happening by the way). She's bland on this.

I cant wait to see the movie.

GOD BLESS EVERYONE

Beyonce is definitely not getting all the credit. Hudson will get the attention she deserves, and already is in a lot of places.

And this is, as stated, NOT the final version that is going to be in the film, neither the singing wise or the orchestrations (which hear sound like a karaoke version, especially at the end). Hudson has stated that she found different things to do with the song, emotionally and vocally, while filming so if this is just a preview it is a damn good one!

I guess I'm the only one who didn't love her (pun intended?). I mean she is good but that is Holiday's song and nothing can top her.
I'm sure on screen it will read a lot better then it does just listening to it, as it does on stage.

And to let everyone know, Oscars are not awarded based on singing ability. Can she act? Let's find out in a couple months.

Oh shoot. She tears that apart!

I still can't get it to play. I've turned every security setting off... I've installed the current Shockwave versions...

I keep getting an "undetermined string constant" error on my browser status bar. Any suggestions?
