On November 25, The Jennifer Hudson Show shared a clip that quickly went viral, showcasing the duo performing an abridged version of the 2004 hit. Legend opened the performance with his signature smooth vocals, and when Hudson chimed in for the chorus, the audience erupted in applause. Their harmonies were seamless, blending Hudson’s powerhouse voice with Legend’s velvety tones to create an emotional, pitch-perfect moment.
“There’s nothing ordinary about this performance,” read the show’s Instagram caption — and fans wholeheartedly agreed. One commenter summed it up best:
“A duo we never knew we were missing! Their heartfelt vocals are absolutely on fire! ”
Jennifer Hudson’s Big Week on The Voice
This duet wasn’t Hudson’s only headline-making moment of the week. The singer recently wrapped up her stint as a Mega Mentor on The Voice. Over the past two weeks, she teamed up with Michael Bublé and reigning Coach Reba McEntire to help contestants refine their performances for the high-stakes Playoffs.
While Hudson bids farewell to the competition (for now), Legend is gearing up for his exciting return as a Coach in Season 27. Following a hiatus to focus on family and touring, Legend will reclaim his red chair in 2025. He joins returning Coach Adam Levine, along with Michael Bublé and newcomer Kelsea Ballerini, in what’s shaping up to be a star-studded season.
Fans are already buzzing about the musical possibilities: could we see more duets from Legend and Hudson in the future? One can only hope!
