Week 2: Disco

[Jennifer Hudson]

I chose to sing The Boss by Diana Ross. Their are alot of reasons why I chose this song. I mean it is a very beautiful song and even though my voice is not like Diana Ross's I feel I could do real good with this song. I hope you guys love it!

The Boss By Diana Ross

Fancy me
Thought I had my degree
In life and how love
Ought to be a run

I had a one step plan to prove it
Guide in my pocket for fools
Folly and fun
Love had to show me one thing

I was so right
So right
Thought I could turn emotion
On and off
I was so sure
So sure (I was so sure)
But love taught me
Who was who was who was the boss
(taught me who was who was the boss)

Id defy
Anyone who claimed that i
Didnt control whatever moved in my soul
I could tempt
Touch delight
Just because you fell for me
Why should I feel uptight
Love had to show me one thing:

I was so right
So right
Thought I could turn emotion
On and off
I was so sure
So sure (I was so sure)
But love taught me
Who was who was who was the boss
(taught me who was who was the boss)

Love taught me
Taught me
Taught me
Taught me

I was so right
So right
Thought I could turn emotion
On and off
I was so sure
So sure (I was so sure)
But love taught me
Who was who was who was the boss
(taught me who was who was the boss)

(I chose the one with Whitney singing it because she has a strong voice like Jennifers)

[Randy Jackson]

I liked the song, but I would've liked you to choose a song that shows the range of your voice more. Last week, you killed it and we heard so much of your voice. I think this week, it just wasn't up to par.

[Jennifer Hudson]

It is hard to find a Disco song that can show my true voice. But, I will try harder if I get another chance. Thanks!

[Kara DioGuardi]

I think you did something amazing. You choose to use the whitney version. That is soemthing some others should try to do. I actually liked this performance alot. Of course not as much as last week, but i mean i think it may be a bit forgettable but no worries American should keep you hear again!

[Simon Cowell]

Ok not nearly as good as last week but compared to everyone else so far you shined....id advise you to stay away from anything whitney houston has ever sang not because you cant pull it off but because whitney is just untouchable

[Jennifer Hudson]

Thank you guys once again! Disco is not really my thing, but I tried my best.
