what kills me about Jennifer Hudson is that she's been trashing Simon but tonight on FNC they showed every comment Simon made during her performances and he always praised her....but now she wants to act like she didn't get any praise and that Simon hated her....not true!

Simon trashed Jennifer when she was on the show. He was "pimping" for Fantasia since day one that season.

I always thought Jennifer was the best vocalist of the "3 divas" (Jennifer, Fantasia and Latoya London) but Simon's comments drove the fans away. I think he didn't like her because she was slightly overweight.

(Jennifer Hudson)... she wants to act like she didn't get any praise and that Simon hated her....not true!

She always had a bit of an attitude, IIRC.

She was right not to thank Idol in her Oscar speech, but she shouldn't be trashing the show or Simon now. That shows a lack of class.

Re; Jennifer Hudson, you wrote: " . . . now she wants to act like she didn't get any praise and that Simon hated her....not true!"

Watch the pre-Oscar Barbara Walters interview with her here http://www.gofish.com/player.gfp?gfid=30-1083271 which includes the clip where Simon told her in fairly harsh terms that, "I think you are out of your depth in this competition," and that "I don't think you're capable of doing anything better at all to have any chance to win this competition."

He was brutal, yet she was gracious in the Walters interview, crediting AI for helping her get a start.

It's a nice video. I think you'll like it.
