Jennifer Hudson -- Liar, Ingrate?

Click to return to TMZ.comJennifer Hudson has been trash-talking "American Idol" and dissing on Simon Cowell. But the video evidence makes it clear -- the Dreamgirl is dreaming it all up.

"EXTRA" rolled back the tapes of Hudson on "Idol," and Simon clearly gave her props throughout the season, saying that she was a "front-runner" and calling her "great" multiple times -- high praise from the often harsh Cowell.

Why would Hudson rant about the show and the judge who moved her from obscurity to Oscar winner? Is she an ingrate? Watch the video, then vote.

16. JENNIFER IS A FLASH-IN-HE PAN. SHE'S NO STAR--SHE GOT THE OSCAR ON A FLUKE--AND I DOUBT SERIOUSLY SHE'LL HAVE A CAREER--OUTSIDE OF FLITTING FROM CLUB TO CLUB IN THE PARIS HILTON ET AL. MODE. SHE JUST AIN'T A MAJOR TALENT. (NOT EVEN A MINOR ONE.) HER FIFTEEN MINUTES ARE RAPIDLY FLEETING.

20. Does it matter? She ain't gonna be shit after her oscar crap. Maybe make an album that flops, one more movie role and then she'll be done!

21. I'm sure competing every week on national television is traumatic. And being voted off is too. To survive the stress, it's easier to blame a single person than all of America. Simon is a gruelingly honest critic, but he is a starmaker. The only thing he ever consistently criticized about Jennifer Hudson on A.I. was her clothes, and he did it in a good-natured, teasing way, calling her a "nurse in leathers", etc., and her outfits were truly bizarre, especially that pink thing. She has a stylist now, and you can tell.

She'd never even have auditioned for Dreamgirls if she hadn't been picked by the judges to be in the finalists. It's America who voted her off, not the judges. And she got better by going through the contest every week because the judges kept it real--honest critiques and coaching from the judges who are experienced record producers.

22. And also, its funny how American Idol is trying to job on her bandwagon! I dont think she has lied about anything she has said about the show. Other past contestants have said the same thing. They are treated like products not people. Before people start hating on her they need to read!

23. Fame went to her head! Its funny how people forget about where they came from when they start to make big bucks. I don't think we will see her to much anymore anyway.

24. That lady would never be where she is if she hadnt been on American Idol. I agree with some that she is trying to make it look like she did it all on her own. Her and other Idol contestants should be grateful for being given the start they received on the show.

25. Shut up people! Jennifer Hudson has acknowledged Simon Cowell and thanked him so many times in different TV magazine shows. The media doesn't have anything better to do that to twist everything around and make Jennifer Hudson look bad, when in reality she's humble and sweet. If you didn't vote for her in American Idol, then it was your fault that she didn't win.

26. You are all jealous of her success. This girl can sing and the best is yet to come. All you Britney, Paris Lindsey, Nicole, wanna bees are sorry ass*s.You people don't have a clue where your going. The doctors have a room reserved for you in rehab, you dumb as*s "crackers".The African American female has excelled in music for the past 100 years and will continue to do so.Take your hate some where else bitch*es. NO PEACE ,NO JUSTICE!!!

27. Well, maybe like many Oscar winners, her glory will start to dull as this Oscar season diminishes and becomes a distant dream.

it's too bad she has attitude.

28. Just another American Idol Diva. Forgets where they came from and how they got there.

29. Whoever said that nobody is buying into Jennifer Hudson's jesus act is right! What the hell is up with that? Shut the f*** up Jennifer! You need to stick to singing. If that doesn't work out you can always be in those contests to see who can eat the most hot dogs in 5 minutes. That might work out well for you.

30. I can't stand Jennifer Hudson either. She acted like a beyotch on American Idol. She acted like she thought she was better than everyone else -- but she wasn't. LaToya was just as good a singer as J-Hud and Fantasia was better because she actually had a personality and showed passion when she sang.

Jennifer needs to shut the f up and go away now.
