J-Hud Gives Up on Chi-town

Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson learned the hard way that Beyoncé and Anika Noni Rose make for better singing partners than random fans in Chicago.

Hudson was in her hometown yesterday as Mayor Richard Daley proclaimed it Jennifer Hudson Day. When Hudson broke into song, she looked to the crowd to sing along with her. "Y'all want to help me out?" she asked. Apparently the answer was "No."

She held out the mic and when no one piped up, Hudson asked, "Where y'all at, Chicago?" Again met with silence, Hudson ended her number with a simple, "Well, that's enough."

34. TMZ IS A RACIST SITE. SIMON TOLD THIS GIRL SHE W OULD NOT MAKE IT ON AI AND HAD TO APOLOGIZE TO HER ON OPRAH WHEN SHE DID WELL IN DREAM GIRLS. HOWEVER, TMZ ONLY CHOSE TO SHOW PRAISES FROM SIMON WHEN THERE WERE NEGATIVE MOMENTS TOO. YOU PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO DESTROY HER BY SLANTING EVERY VIDEO IN A NEGATIVE LIGHT. SHE IS FAR FROM UNGRATEFUL AND OWES HER SUCCESS TO THE CURRENT PEOPLE AROUND HER. NO ONE SIGNED HER TO A MUSIC DEAL UNTIL SHE DID DREAM GIRLS. SORRY TO BURST YOUR BUBBLE BUT PEOPLE LIKE HER AND WANT DIVERSITY IN MUSIC AND FILM. SHE IS ACTUALLY TALENTED UNLIKE PARIS HILTON AND NICOLE RICHIE WHO HAVE GOTTEN WAY TOO MUCH AIRTIME. IT IS OKAY FOR HER TO SAY THE IDOL PROCESS CAN BE ABUSIVE AT TIMES BECAUSE IT IS....TMZ STOP TRYING TO TEAR PEOPLE DOWN. YOU ARE A PATHETIC SITE AND NEED TO BE SUED FOR DEFAMATION OF CHARACTER...GET A REAL STORY AND STOP TRYING TO DESTROY PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY HAVE TALENT

36. If people spent have the time lifting people up what a world we would live in. All the energy you use to pick out all the bad things. How about taking a minute to note the hard work it took to get where she is. The countless hours of rehersals and auditions. No one but GOD can judge, and by the way GOD gave her everything she has gotten! What has God given you? and how have you used YOUR GIFTS!

37. Being seen as ungrateful and unfashionably overweight is not her major problem.

What is really crucial now is getting lined up for some decent, and diverse, acting roles.

41. I'm happy for J-Hud, and those simple minded haters on this site just remember one thing,
she has more talent, and more heart than most people in this industry. She not an ingrate, she's real and she honest.

Dreams do come true for those who work hard to achieve them

42. # 40..I like Jennifer Hudson LIKE MANY OTHER AMERICANS and am an intelligent person. I was trying to bring some intelligence to this irrational message board. Unlike you I like making positive statements and Jennifer Hudson is someone I would like to see more of in the press not these silly celebutantes with no talent. We should embrace diversity and not homogenity in our society it is what makes America GREAT! GOOD LUCK TO YOU JENNIFER YOU WILL NEED IT IN THIS MESSED UP WORLD WITH TMZ AND THEIR RACIST ANTICS !

43. Kiki, I'm Black and live in Chicago also, and I'm willing to bet that you would be crushed under the type of pressure she been through in the past year. It's fun to sit on our asses
and comment about things we know nothing about.

Good Luck J-Hud
