My nails.
0:47
Hold on, give me a second.
0:45
First song.

I wonder what Google got to say about that.
0:49
Jennifer Hudson's first song would be "Spotlight."
0:53
Jennifer Hudson's, the actress, first song would be "And I'm Telling You" slash "I Love You I Do."
0:59
But "I Love You I Do" is my very first original song.
1:04
What did Jennifer Hudson win an Oscar for?
1:11
I won an Oscar for "Dreamgirls," my first film as Effie White in "Dreamgirls" the musical.
1:25
And I was also, or my song Jennifer Hudson's first song was nominated for an Oscar, which was "I Love You I Do" but for "Dreamgirls."
1:25
What did Jennifer Hudson...
1:25
Hold on, hold on, name her dog.
1:25
Okay guys, y'all know I had two dogs, I got to give you a story real quick.
1:25
Y'all got time?
1:25
Okay, I got a dog that Christmas before I won the Oscar and I named the dog Oscar and then I won an Oscar.
1:44
So then I said, "Child, Oscar need a girlfriend."
1:46
So I got a dog and that summer and I named her Grammy and guess what, child, I won a Grammy that winter that rolled around.
1:53
And then Oscar and Grammy had a baby and guess what, we might be "Dreamgirl."
1:53
She's still here, but Oscar and Grammy have gone on.
1:53
Miss them dearly.
1:53
So that means I need a new Oscar and I need a new Grammy.
1:53
What is Jennifer Hudson's pandemic hobby?
1:53
Oh, I got so many pandemic hobbies.
1:53
As if you did not know, I am a two-way artist, so I also draw as well as sing.
1:53
The singing comes from my grandmother and the drawing comes from my mother.
1:53
I spray paint, draw on everything I can.
1:53
I didn't spray painted the toilets, to the bikes, my Bentley and everything.
1:53
Purple is my favorite color.
1:53
One of my toilets is pink and purple.
1:53
I'm having a bike specially spray painted by a professional this time to get it right because I just, oh, I spray painted the piano too.
2:44
They like, "Jennifer, please stop spray painting things."
2:46
But it's like, it's my house, I can do what I want and my stuff, I work hard for my money, okay?
2:49
What does Jennifer Hudson...
2:55
Tom Jones is the love of my life.
2:59
I love Tom Jones, to be able to sit with him, sit next to him and then sing with him and then to listen to his stories, like he knew every legend from Frank Sinatra to Aretha and then to Password and I get to sit with him and I get to sing with him.
3:23
Y'all know he's the original, done right.
3:19
What we got here?
3:19
All right, what, oh, who is Jennifer, who is Jennifer Hudson playing Aretha Franklin?
3:28
Yes, I'm playing the Queen of Soul, Miss Aretha Franklin, which was a dream of mine and also her request for me to play her, which is a dream come true, but yet it's the scariest thing ever.
3:42
It's like Aretha has taken over my life and I just want to make her proud as best as I can to know someone as powerful as Aretha Franklin who's known for her voice, had to find her own personal voice, her own expression, her own way and that inspired me.
3:59
I know we all have a respect for Aretha, but by the time we get to the end of the film, I wanted them to have a newfound respect for Miss Franklin, which I do as well.
4:08
You see my necklace, watch off.
4:11
All right, who is Jennifer Hudson?
4:15
Hold on, these nails, y'all trying to tell me I'm playing Hercules?
4:21
How cutely.
4:25
Y'all listen close, all my "Dreamgirls" cast members, this is a fun fact, have been in Disney films.
4:25
Anika, Beyoncé, Jamie, Eddie has done everything, where's my Disney bro?
4:35
But I was Calliope, the head muse on a Disney cruise ship.
4:39
So that means I'm ready for my part.
4:41
We are the Muses, goddesses of the arts and proclaimers of heroes.
4:51
Hope with the gladden, gladiators, Hercules, that was me, Calliope, so I'm ready, just roll the camera.
4:51
You ain't got to send a script, I don't need the music, I'm ready to shoot, so I'll just wait for your call, thank you.
4:51
Okay, who is Jeffrey?
4:51
Oh, and also a fun fact, they took as a acting credit my experience on a cruise ship for me to be in "Dreamgirls."
5:11
Who is Jennifer Hudson's dad and Cindy Rex?
5:14
I definitely don't know who these are, the questions y'all asked.
5:18
Okay, who is Jennifer Hud's character in "Dreamgirls"?
5:27
My character is "Dreamgirls," it's Effie White Cup.
5:27
No, let me get my key right, 'cause I ain't saying this is so long 'cause this time.
5:27
That's not right 'cause she, I was so hot 'cause this time.
5:27
FBI is going to, oh, who is the character?
5:54
I need to read the rest of the question.
6:00
Who is Jennifer Hudson's character in "Dreamgirls" based on?
6:00
I think the film is loosely based on The Supremes, Florence Ballard, at least that's, you know, who I studied for Effie in "Dreamgirls."
6:13
How Jennifer Hudson is using these nails.
6:18
How is, how is Jennifer Hud, how is it, how am I doing?
6:23
I am doing so good, I am blessed, I am grateful, I'm happy to be here.
6:29
You know what, this to me, I would have thought would have been the number one question because this is the number one thing I get everywhere I go.
6:36
The first thing people say is, "I had no idea you were that tall."
6:41
Fun fact, I am the tallest dream girl.
6:41
I'm the youngest string girl, but the tallest dream girl.
6:49
I am 5'9 without a heel, supermodel with the heel, okay, write it down.
6:52
Also that is why in "Dreamgirls" Effie is in flats because I would have towered Jamie in heels, Jamie Foxx.
7:01
That is one of my absolute favorites.
7:05
How to sing, how to sing like Jennifer?
7:07
Jennifer don't even know, I don't think there's an answer to that.
7:10
Sing from the heart, sing with joy, sing because you want to, because most of all is it's an expression because it's your joy, it's your expression, it's your feeling and as long as you go from there it can never be wrong.
7:22
Sing from your heart as Aretha would say, "Fill it and I will be there to cheer you on, don't you worry."
7:30
How many Grammys do I have?
7:33
This is fun because most don't know I have a Grammy for my first album and then I have a Grammy for "Color Purple" but I also have an honorary Grammy as well, so would that be two and a half or three, you tell me.
7:46
Okay, oh, I see you ain't finished the question.
7:49
Oh yeah, well, how many Grammys do I have?
7:53
Okay, can Jennifer Hudson, can Jennifer Hudson, I knew that was what that was going to say.
8:25
Okay, listen, I can hear by ear a little bit.
8:25
Everybody in my family can, my son can, he gets up, plays the piano, a host of cousins, a little bit.
8:25
I could hear by ear, we were born that way, but I also took piano lessons to channel Aretha Franklin that much more.
8:25
As an actor, I felt it was important to do that if I was going to embody a character like Aretha who piano playing was a huge part of, so I felt it was my duty, so yes.
8:28
I mean, I ain't no Aretha, don't, don't, don't you think that for one second, but I could peck.
8:33
She played.
8:35
Can Jennifer Hudson sing whistle notes?
8:37
Okay, oh, this is another good one.
8:37
When I was in high school, I could do the entire piano, like the whole piano and the kids should be like, "She's still going."
8:44
But when I went away to college, the climbing of the weather, I couldn't even speak by the time I came back, which is why I left college and then I was able to gain my voice back and I changed my singing approach.
8:55
So most notes I hit full voice versus head tone, which reshapes the instrument.
9:01
I say I wish so, like I could whistle for you, right?
9:12
And then but everyone says my whistle sounds like singing, so they consider it the that I do whistle notes, but according to the J Hud production standards, no, I do not do whistles, but I can sing probably the highest notes on the piano in full voice.
9:26
Go find somebody who can do that and then we can talk.
9:29
Okay, can Jennifer Hudson, hold on, get this off.
9:33
Can I dance?
9:33
If you pay me enough, yes.
9:36
I danced on a Disney cruise ship 'cause Calliope is nothing but choreography.
9:41
The muses is all choreography all day.
9:43
I have to choose between singing and dancing, baby.
9:48
I ain't got time for no steps, I need to sing you this song, I got to use my superpower and I just move my knee in my shoulders, so when y'all see that, that's all you're going to get.
9:48
Is Jennifer Hudson a vegan?
9:48
I'm going to tell you all I eat is chicken, turkey and fish.
9:48
Now you tell me what I am.
9:48
Is Jennifer Hudson an EGOT?
9:48
According to the J Hud production center, no, I do not.
9:45
I have Grammys, obviously the Oscar, but I have a ring that says EGOT, so when I get an Emmy, I would.
10:15
I don't have an EGOT, which stands for Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, although fun fact, I have been a part of so many different things that has won Emmy's, but I personally don't consider it as my own or a a legitimate win because it's not according to my standards, but one day it'll come until until then I'll be content with my what I got, go Grammy and Oscar.
10:45
Okay, uh, is Jennifer Hudson the best singer?
10:46
How are you going to actually hustle if she the best thing?
10:50
Y'all trying to set me up.
10:53
Nope, that's a trick question, but if you think I am, thank you so much, I truly appreciate it.
10:58
Is Jennifer Hudson, if am I left-handed?
11:01
No, I'm right-handed, I guess that's the only answer to that.
11:06
Is Jennifer Hudson, is Jennifer Hudson and Whitney Houston related?
11:11
I love this question.
11:13
I don't know what is funny is when I go out, people easily call me Jennifer Houston or Holiday, which is totally fine with me.
11:24
We're in the same family, I guess you could say.
11:25
Peter's hair if you pay me enough money, remember that.
11:31
Has Jennifer Hudson, you know, Jennifer, get on my nerves, Google that, I'll be like, "Oh my God."
11:36
Jennifer been on Broadway?
11:38
Yes, I have been on Broadway.
11:39
I was on Broadway doing "Color Purple."
11:41
That was my Broadway debut.
11:41
Will I go back?
11:44
Know about that.
11:48
Okay, Jennifer, does Jennifer Hudson sing "Respect"?
11:48
Yes, I do and I sing live in "Respect" almost every song other than the radio records.
11:56
That's what you're in film, those are recorded like radio records, but anything that was done live in her life, I did live right there in the film, so I'm literally acting and singing at the same time.
12:05
Does Jennifer Hudson live in the UK?
12:07
I love the UK, that is like my second home, oh my God, I miss it so much, I can't wait to return.
12:13
Do I currently live there?
12:13
No, but will I be back?
12:16
Yes, I will because I love the UK and my UK family, I miss y'all, but I had to come home and do this.
12:26
Does Jennifer Hudson, do I have a kid?
12:29
Oh, little David, he is the sweetest little baby in the whole wide world.
12:32
Yes, I do, my little munchkin.
12:38
He'll kill me if I call him munchkin, so I'm going to call him what he wants to be called, DOJ.
12:38
He's now 11, almost 12 years old and it's coming up and he was actually with me the last time I heard from Miss Franklin.
12:47
He said, "Mama, it's that Aretha Franklin on the phone."
12:52
I guess it is and the last thing we did was talk about him cooking and I sent her videos of him cooking because she loved cooking and he did, he does as well.
12:52
Okay, my nails don't want to let me do this.
12:52
Okay, why does Jennifer Hudson throw shoes?
13:04
Guys, it is the biggest compliment, okay, if I throw a shoe at you, you must have touched my soul.
13:11
It is a compliment as will I am saying it's the soul, get it, the soul on the shoe, so I guess that's where it comes from, but music moves me in a special way and it moves my shoes off my feet that you may catch and I've had people throw shoes at me.
13:27
Actually, it was the Barry Manilow audition, I auditioned for him and the judges who were auditioning me, by the time I finished, they threw everything they had off the table at me and I was like, "Oh, so it's an expression of love, thank you so much."
13:44
I think you guys had some interesting questions.
13:46
I didn't know you want to know those things about me, did I talk too much?
