Vocal powerhouse, Jennifer Hudson has had a tone to celebrate within music years. Last year, she became the youngest of 17 people to achieve EGOT status. This status is given to anyone who has won an Emmy, Grammy, Tony,and a Oscar award. She has also been spending her time as a TV talk show host for her own show The Jennifer Hudson Show. Noticeably, Jennifer Hudson’s music career has been on a long hiatus for years. Her return to the stage as a musician may soon end. Seemingly, she is ready to remind fans of her catalog in a verzuz battle against Fantasia.
Recently, Verzuz’s cofounder, Swizz Beatz appeared as a guest on her talk show. Jennifer brought up Verzuz in a very versatile interview. Like fans of the series, Jennifer expressed how it “Saved her entire life” during the pandemic while asking him about the show’s return. With a smile, Swizz responded “Soon as you and Fantasia sign the contract,” teasing the possibility of the match-up. Additionally, the audience cheered when Jennifer responded: “We’ll see.”
Jennifer Hudson Is Not Opposed To Batteling Fantasia On Verzuz
Moreover, if the two ladies agree to do the battle, this isn’t the first time the two have a competitive faceoff. In 2004, they were contestants on season three of American Idol. Jennifer has a successful run on the show finishing the competition in seventh place. Fantasia became the third winner of American Idol that same year. Since the show, Fantasia went on to become a Grammy award-winning artist. Two of her albums Free Yourself and Fantasia are Recording Industry Association of America certified. Additionally, Jennifer has won two Grammys. Her 2008 single “Spotlight” is certified platinum. She has also earned another certification for her cover of Jennifer Holliday’s 1982 song “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going.” The ladies have both earned a career that has remained comparable since their appearance on American Idol.
Furthermore, Verzuz is set to be returning with Diddy agreeing to battle Jermaine Dupri. The two legendary producers have agreed to face off on September 8th. As the new season is returning, would you want to see Jennifer Hudson Battle Fantasia again? Let us know in the comments below.
