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..................Read full review
I wish this had been so much more. Never are Jennifer Hudsons vocals not supreme. This just won't be the cd to start the true music career she deserves and is capable of having. There are not enough songs here to be singles and the set lacks any true continuity. Noit to say I can't enjoy it. I really do for I just love Jennifer Hudson's voice and abilities. I just can't help but wish she had been dealt a better hand. Till the next cd I will enjoy this one. SPOTLIGHT, CAN'T STOP THE RAIN, WE GON' FIGHT and a few others will carry me through.
Jennifer does a great job. This CD takes you on a journey and you get to hear all the beauty of her powerful voice. Of course I love the hit song "Spotlight", and was instantly taken by "Pocketbook". She has a couple of duos and threw in the big Dream Girls number just to be sure the sales would go well. The CD even has a beautiful gospel number that she really shines on. I would recommend it to anyone who even remotely thinks she can sing. Believe me she CAN. Thomas
JHud is one of the best singers today: incredible range and power. This is an earlier CD, but well worth the "listen".

I just love this CD. With the recent Hudson Tragedy, I've been listening to this CD even more. Especially the song "Jesus Promised Me A Home" and "I Can't Stop The Rain" I can't get enough of "Spotlight" "Giving Myself" "Pocketbook" "If This Isn't Love" and "I'm His Only Woman" along with "You Pulled Me Through" just give me goosebumps. You will not be disappointed. Pick up this CD now. You will be happy you did. My sincere condolences to the Hudson Family.

I have waited a long time for this project. I was heartbroke when she was voted off of idol; however, i guess the adage, good things happen to to good people. This is an Amazing cd. It has the soul of Angie Stone and you can listen to it all day long. I did not care for the Fantasia cut, but I am not a fantasia fan. Jennifer can stand on her own. You Pulled Me Through is an anthem of hope and thankfulness. and her gospel tracks are heartfelt. I expect another grammy for this artist.
This CD has been out for a few months now but after hearing some of her singles I just had to have it! It's so rare nowadays to buy a CD and not skip every other song. I LOVE this CD!!!! I can listen to it all day and not skip a single song...Her voice is so amazing and strong. I'm anxiously waiting for the next one!!!! Track #8 with Fantasia is one of the best collaberations out right now!!!
Love her voice and sound. She makes you feel when she sings.
