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."

46. # 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 !

47. 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

48. I think she's getting backlash. People aren't liking her smart mouth comments.
She keeps making negative comments when asked about Idol or Simon. She also being a little snot to Beyonce.
Not everyone has gone to see Dreamgirls but almost everyone watches Idol. And Simon is one of the biggest reasons why.
Simon's judging her on Idol was his job. Being a smart mouth is not her job.
When Simon gives her a nice message like he did for the Oscars she says something nasty back like "so". Her getting a big head and thinking she's "all that" is not good for her career. She better learn to be a little more diplomatic in her comments cuz there's plenty of singers wating to knock her off the pedastel she put herself on.

56. TMZ, YOUR SMEAR CAMPAIGN IS IN FULL EFFECT!!! Isn't it interesting how you write about irrelevant crap and readers get mad at the person you're writing about? They get slammed for milking their "15 minutes of fame", yet you're idiots that report about their every move.

58. just because they gave you that award doesnt make you all that.

59. All these comments from jealous people. Let her enjoy her fame in peace. Hey TMZ here is a question: Why don't you talk shit about that no talent, shell of a woman named PARIS HILTON. At least Jennifer actually earned an award. What has this bitch done? Not a fuckin thing but Harvey Levin keeps shovin his head further up her no talent having ASS. TMZ cut the bullshit and give us the shit the ight way. By the way what does Harvey Levin's woman look like. That bitch better be a work of art for all the shit you guys talk on this site. Answer this shit: IS PARIS HILTON RACIST? FUCK YOU HARVEY LEVIN.

60. All you racists are just jealous that a fine and talented Black woman won the Academy Award. Jennifer Hudson is a proud and beautiful Black woman, and I am so very proud of her. Holla!
