James and Jennifer Hudson make the most of their drive to work singing a few classic tunes, stopping at her Hollywood Walk of Fame star and ordering from a drive-thru.

Jennifer Hudson acts the same way I do when I’m listening to Jennifer Hudson
😆
This is my favorite comment ever lmao
Absolutely brilliant comment, you win the internet...
😂😂😂
Sing it Jennifer!
Jennifer powered that car through song. The engine was running off her melody.

+CARMEN Estrellas 😂😂😂 James was like YOU BETTER SING
foreaal! LMAO

+CARMEN Estrellas hey girl same to you as well! And yessssssss
Hudson is not only an underrated vocalist but also an underselling one.
Because, for some unknown reason, decent and/or commercially viable writers and producers have never worked with her.
Its because Americal prefers black voices/music from non black ppl, its the only way to get superstardom (Adele, Justin T, Ed Sheerhan, Bruno Mars, Michael Bolton etc) but they cant be too aligned with black ppl so for instance Robin Thicke had a black wife, Jon B who's also amazing, but most white folks prob dont know him, Iggy Azalea- tries too hard to be "blackish" so her fame will never rise beyond a certain level etc etc.
who underrates her? I can't think of anyone who ever has.
@@jimquantic If u have to ask then you don't understand how things work. Jhud is more or less black famous or rather her core fan base is simply because of her style and vocals..
@@changetocome100 same question who underrates her? Of course you can pass on the question, like you did the first time, and then blame it on me for asking the question. If I were you I would take that option, I don't really think you can answer the question that I asked
Jennifer is so underrated. She’s a gem! I love her spirit.
Oh man, she had a Oscar and Grammy! Why u think she underrated ?
@@user-gm1zl4xc1b bc so many ppl don’t know who she is
@@Zoeyskiiii - Only if they live in a bubble or have been in a very long coma!
NO. *That's just your ignorance & amnesia showing.* Jennifer Hudson has NEVER been underrated. She's got a New Talk Show from being Highly Rated & is an EGOT Baby. Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Award winner. *_Jennifer and her Voice has been Celebrated, Recognized and Received her Accolades_* so I don't know why you would DISRESPECT this Talented Artist by putting her and the word _"underrated"_ in he same sentence. *She has an Entire Separate Wiki page of all her Award Wins & Nominations.* Her Talent is Known.
@@lottasunshine1325 LOL I agree underrated my ass , people love to abuse that word!

Copied the comment above
I totally love it when she says, "Sing Jennifer" while listening to her own song. That part cracks me up every time.
Jennifer holidays song 💁🏻♂️💁🏻♂️ that’s why she said “sing Jennifer “
@@jeremyrodriguez1351 they’re listening to Jhud’s versus tho. That’s why she said it…
She is so funny, and I love that she doesn't bother making à perfect rendition getting all the lyrics and singing every line, she's just having fun
The way she was telling herself “sing Jennifer!!”
she seem like the type of mom to yell at u and accidentally hit the most powerful note ever " boy if u don't go clean your ROOOOOOOOOOM!!! "
lmfao
this comment is life !
+Trelin Harper you just made my day great haha
Yeah I can totally see that
made my day😂😂😂
UNDER RATED...even with a Oscar. Voice is pure gifted from God. Can’t be bought.
That's what I keep saying. Definitely UNDER RATED.
There's nothing underrated about being second only to Holliday herself.
Testify. 🙏🙏Amen 😇
I mean.. technically it can bought.. U can pay for a vocal coach and learn to sing aswell.
@@edtExodus yassss
I love her "sing, Jennifer!" lmao the kind of self motivation I need in life
When James covered his mouth when she was holding that note was ME!! Just amazing 🤩
Yes he was literally speechless!!! His reaction is my favorite part.

Ayshaleigh Tani Too bad he was in it.
R Schlessel What the..........why the hate ??
Haha
I never ever get over my amazement at her incredible voice. Wow
I can't tell you how many times I've watched this since it first came out. 7:22 is probably my favorite moment of any video that exists on earth. She is incredible.
James clasps his mouth in shock at that moment as well.
@@1515327E That's what I'm talking about. His reaction to her singing is one of my favorite things ever!
And she was sitting down
I know!! That was probably one of the only times that James finally shut the fuck up and let the artist sing
I come back to this video specifically for that moment allll the time! It's amazing
"Sing jennifahhh" - *Jennifer Hudson* 6:01 😂😂😂
MyBookishBehaviour that is one of my fave parts🤣🤣
Calling out her own self!
When your future self cheers your past self on😄
She’s talking about Jennifer Holliday, the original Effie on Broadway, and the one singing on the recording.
James never gets enough recognition for how good he sings. He needs to carpool with himself😂
I love how James just throws out those surprise vocals like it's nothing
He's got a tony...
And they have a cave-troll. What's yer point?
Fan girl Weekly His Tony isn't for a musical though.
KingJules right??????!!! I was like wtf? Kill it!!!
Go watch into the woods, then you will understand why so many commenters are not shocked, plus you'll witness Meryl Streep's greatness as well :p
There aren’t even words for her level of talent. Her voice is always just ready and waiting
Her connection with James! Her sense of humor! Her facial expressions! Her voice! What a gift! My favorite carpool karaoke!

I just love the fact that she sounds amazing live as she does on her digital stuff.
Ideally all professional singers should be good live before they even walk into the studio...it's shame some aren't.
The fact that’s she’s blown away by her own singing is everything! And that it doesn’t come off as cocky is the BEST!
"Sing Jennifer!" 😂 love her.
Love her tooooooooooooooooooo
That's me when I'm singing a song and comes the high note
That part just bodied me lol
She's incredible! 2 just blast those notes at the drop of a hat man. She does ALOT on the UK voice. She just gets up n randomly starts singing 2 the audiance while waiting 4 another act 2 come on. She is a God given gift 2 our ears & eyes. ❤❤❤
LOVE HER TO.
If James quits the entertainment business, he would certainly be a 5 star uber driver.
lol
Or a singer
+martin hebert Honestly they should do that for the show
Carey Grace hahahaahahahahaa
LOOOOOOOOOOPL dead
OMG Jennifer is so funny. We need more of her. She should have her own show. Love her so much!
😂😂😂😂 and you was right because now she does
This comment aged well 😂
James is hilarious and can sang... looks like Jen enjoyed her time, it all looked so chilled. She really feels her songs and words. She's amazing
My girl... She has always been a power house singer, since high school... We sang in the choir together
Kimberly Fleming she’s amazing. Your so lucky 💕
She sounds like a kick to hang out with! Especially if there’s karaoke involved
How awesome!!!
awww thats beautiful
HOW LUCKY. AWESOME!
"im not changing my routine just because im running late"..I died😂
TOBBEY MARCHVIER - Me when I stop for an iced coffee even when I’m running late. LOL.
Lol..so true! I don't sometimes..

That one killed me too! 😂😂😂

Jennifer is not only vocally gifted, but she is also hilarious!! James can hang with the best of them, which is probably why he started Carpool Karaoke. Laughter and tears...really loved this one!!
I love James C. He is so funny and can sing with anyone. But JHud is a great singer. I love this🥰🥰
"SING, JENNIFAAAAH!" 😂😂😂
Talan Josef hahahaha
😂😂😂
The voice on her is just UNREAL!
needmoneynow2 Duh. She was on American Idol.
No need for the word "duh".
RowenKyleBrody Duh? ... So everyone who appears on American Idol has a voice like hers? she didn't even win that season...
needmoneynow2 not interesting whatsoever. i dont hear anything unique or enjoyable.
Person of Interest duh means obviously.
The ONLY reason JHUD did not do the big parts is because she was in a car and did not want to get too big/loud. That’s also why she kept singing out the window. Her voice is one of the best in the world. Also, her personality is literally amazing. She’s so funny, down to Earth, and SO TALENTED. A legend ❤
Oh yeah she would've burst James' ear if she SANG for sure her voice is the definition of POWERHOUSE
who else watched this more than once??..... Love this!
Jennifer Hudson's voice literally gives me life!!
I heard, the Monster Reborn card uses her voice.
+Tamoor Khan That is brilliant!!!
+Tamoor Khan lmfao
The fact she can still sing like she did in dreamgirls after 13 years.. just amazing
teHe It’s been 13 years? 😳 Geez
bro this was 4 years ago
@@insearchof2001 yeah 4 years ago would've been the 11th year that she sang in dream girls
David Holland no bro 9 years. dreamgirls was 2006 and this was 2015. that’s 9 years
@@insearchof2001 I think he's talking about in general from this day so that would make it 12 years, depending on what country it came out in first like in the UK this came out in year 2007
Jennifer sings straight from her friggin soul. Hence....soul music.
“im not going to change my routine because I’m running late”, BEST LINE! This is so me every morning for work 😂
Jennifer Hudson by far has had the most amazing carpool karaoke! 😂😂
You gotta see the recent Broadway/Tony awards Carpool Karaoke. It's amazing.
Sia and Stevie´s were also amazing.
but the Broadway Carpool!!!!!
+coldplayplayer15 I made my comment then saw yours😂
+Sophie Emyrs it was amazing. I want to live in that moment.
6:03 ”SING JENNIFER” i’m DEAD
When you hear Jennifer Holliday sing you just can't help it!!!
@@federicoraggio8111 that's jennifer hudson's version from Dreamgirls, the remake
haha just noticed this pahaha pure gold
Gave her those propers, oh yes she did!!!
lol
No matter how many times I watch this video, I'm still so blown away by her talent. That last bit gives me goose bumps and I'm just instantly emotional ♡
I love that J Hud really be reacting to HERSELF the way we be reacting to her. I live for that fantasy.
It really makes me mad that JHud isn't as successful as others it's just hard to fit such a HUGE voice into little pop songs
noooooooooooooooooo yeah ive been following rnb for 30 years and shes always been off my radar - incredible power and range she has.
Me too, she has an amazing voice
Without those pop songs she wouldn't sing those ballads
I say this all the time and I think Ariana grande would be great artist but the put her voice in wack ass pop songs
noooooooooooooooooo As long as she is doing what she love then the sucess is least important things around. The most important things is the music that she is putting out and if you love it and she loves it then she can leave the number ones to Taylor Swift and Arianna Grande, with their huge talents (...) but i get it would be nice for so many other people to see what we see in her.
7:19 you just watched James Cordon fall in love.
I know right! He was so astonished by her singing he was speechless!
VONiiE8 i fell in love. that was AMAZING!
And her expressions were too weird
raulhero that's what happens when there's no chains on your soul.
Joe Davis lol
“SING JENNIFA!” A classic! 🙌🏾😂 Her voice makes NO SENSE. And she seems super fun to hang out with. 🔥🔥🔥
I love how musical guests are always surprised when he really REALLY can sing and harmonize
Jennifer Hudson should definitely do the national anthem at Super Bowl 2017 !!!
Hell ya and she wouldn't even need a mic because her voice is so strong!
She already did it few years ago so idk if she can do it again not for sure though
+Saige Mayfield The hell are you talking about? Beyonce's annoying ass has done it twice now
Darui I'm talking about the star spangled banner not the halftime. So reread the convo 😊
+Saige Mayfield I am.
this is my favourite carpool
Same here
I agree
Agreed! This or the one with Adele! Love when she raps Monster
And James sang the best in this one, the rest of the carpools he doesn't show his full voice
wow best vocals so far
What a voice!!!!!!!! JHUDs authenticity is unmatched. Super amazing, super talented, SUPERSTAR!!!! .... Great one James
I’ll never forget the first time I heard her sing on American Idol?🤯
This girls voice has been blessed by God,she is a special lady.
Amen sister!
AND she's doing it sitting down!!!
What is it with people calling grown women “girls”
@@seraphim6364 It Wasn’t Meant In A Condescending Way
When you sing so good that you tell yourself *sing*
She referred to Jennifer Holliday... the original interpreter of this song... seriously there are people who know this song but not Jennifer Holliday?! She is one of the Greatest voices ever!!! If you hear her sing this... oh man... JHud is insane but Jennifer Holliday... just inhuman.
@@federicoraggio8111 why would she be referring to Holliday here though? It was her version that was playing on the radio. Of course it's quite hard to tell what she exactly meant given they both have the same name!
@@TamannaDas Oh I never heard her studio version so I thought it was the original. What a voice!! A Legend and a princess yass

Walking Trails 777 hahaha😂😅
ikrrrr hahahhha
I'm not a fan of her music, but her voice is fantastic! Why isn't she more successful?
***** cause of douchbags like u
Pretty much the coolest in da hood So I'm a douchbag because I have a different taste in music from your own? Haha. That's ridiculous.
***** Her voice is too powerful for mainstream pop music. No matter how hard she tries to fit into that box this woman has a powerhouse voice. It reminds me of when Jessica Simpson came out. Google her first single and she SLAYED that song but they wanted pop singers. So Britney and Christina were thrust into the limelight. Jessica can sing circles around them both (NO LIE) but she wasn't pop/dance enough. My opinion
***** Because she's not a fan of your music?
***** No one is going around making these comments on white Artist, you look like trouble to me. go comment on Brittany or iggy!!
7:18- you can see da actual shock in James face. 😭
The part when she is genuinely surprised at James cordens harmonizing and when she says sing Jennifer! Those are the parts for me still listening 2022
Jennifer is amazing and so underrated. One of the few people alive who can blow Beyonce out of the water and yet only a fraction of the fans.
Tank0 Beyoncé has nothing on this woman’s voice. Jennifer has a powerhouse voice, natural talent. Beyoncé is a fantastic artist but is mostly just technique.
@@jayp9785 Beyonce is all show. Jennifer Hudson is talented in the old tradition.
Jennifer has more orals and doesn’t dress unmodestly that’s why she isn’t has popular as Beyoncé . Says but true singers that have respect for themselves usually aren’t as popular.
@@nataliewalters2759 Remember Beyonce is playing to what people want to make money. Sad, but true.
She definitely can blow her out of the water 10 times better
Jennifer's stank face when she's feeling it is the best she just genuinely loves music and singing
Yes!! Her stank face is so infectious that I found myself doing it unintentionally as I was watching. 😂💗
She has a passion for what she does.
I used the term stank face with my daughter and my brother and they looked at me like what the hell are you talking about. I said you know when you're singing something and it feels really good and you just make that ugly face. My brother's like I don't know what you're talking about.. I was like never mind
Xddedd
3:48 the water bottle mic is allllll of us and she did it😂
Jennifer Hudson is a gift to the world. I'm glad to have heard her sing during my lifetime.
I cried, laughed, and everything in between on this one... Thank you James, and Jennifer...you are such a true talent!

She would've blown the windows out.
Yassssssssssssss

this one is the whole reason carpool karaoke deserves to exist
When she hits that big note in And I Am Telling You, and James covers his mouth, you can tears in his eyes. I love when he gets so moved by the talent he has in his car
I'm home watching years later but I still feel that same way right now
I thought the same thing!!!!
She gives me goosebumps every single time I hear this song!
hahah it was one of the few times the artist was actually a better vocalist than James himself. hes got musical theatre training so he has more technique than the pop stars he sings with usually. he didnt even bother with most of "And I am telling you" hahahha
Absolutely, she's amazing !!!
Literally you can't see the difference between the recorded song and jhud singing in the car She ain't need no autotune
Exactly right about that!😀
Because she's singing so loud you can't hear the recorded song lol
“Ain’t need”😔😂😂😂
She is auto tune
Coz she doesnt need any autotune at all not like other various singers out there that need autotune...
She is such a great Singewr but i love her for there good Mood she brings every Time i see her! great THX
She is best of best singers 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Hi everybody for Kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬
The only video where James is too intimidated to sing😂
Boom Bee totally true hahahaha
Boom Bee i'm waiting for Christina Aguilera :'D
That's true, and it's a shame because that actually takes away from the video.
And he's sweating like crazy. JHud has a one of a kind heavenly voice. She can't be compared to anyone. How is Beyonce more famous than her?
Because she is more than just pipes.
you can tell she just genuinely enjoys singing. simply amazing.
Tamiesha Marshall with a voice like that I’d be too 😂
They way she can just open her mouth and the melody can flow out so effortless is amazing!
Her singing voice is goose bumps! It ’s a really wonderful singing voice.☺️
