Extra says: Simon didn't say such bad things to Jennifer!

Jennifer Hudson is toting around her Oscar. It seems that Extra has done the leg work and taken heed to Jennifer Hudson's suggestion that someone rewind the American Idol tapes, to see all the nasty comments that Simon Cowell had said during her tenure on the show.

So a diligent production assistant in Los Angeles, had collected some footage that seems to show the more supportive side of Simon in this TV's Top 5! moment.

I think that there has to be some other footage out there showing the other side. If anyone has that footage around, please email me a you tube link...

The Oscar looks more like the Stanley Cup, the way she's been toting it around her press tour. On last night's Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, Jennifer Hudson spoke on how she's lived her life with people reminding her about not winning Idol.

She brought up an excellent point that had she not have won the Oscar, all the comments she gets about not winning Idol, would plague her post Oscar nomination.

I think Jennifer Hudson is a very ungrateful girl. Simon is entitled to his opinion and when all the news media says that she should have won that means that Fantasia should not have won. I disagree. I think Fantasia deserves the win. I dont like Jennifers voice and that is my opinion. Randy and Paula give their opinion and when Simon doesnt agree they start making noises at him. What is up with that. This year Randy is being more honest and this week Paula stopped agreeing with everything Randy says. Carrie, Fantasia,Kelly, Buckie, John Stevens these people all have class and know who helped them. Jennifer should be ashamed of herself, if it wasnt for AI she would be back where she came from.

Pull up JHud. I love you, but, pull up. Stop letting interviewers pull you in to the AI crap every interview. You worked on Dreamgirls longer than you did on AI.

Why do you link to these AOL top 5 videos? It's never there when I look, and it's damned annoying.

don't get me started on the j-hud. shes an absolutely amazing singer, but a mediocre actress at best..that 'i am telling you im not going' number was great but that to me is her performing a song not acting a scene.

if someone goes on and auditions for american idol you already know that the comments will come and go. some good some bad, this young lady should consider herself blessed because despite her not being the american idol per say, did go on to accomplish some major goals. i think simon is wonderful, aqlong with paula and randy. that is what they are supposed to do, their job. people know way before they enter that room what may or may not come. american idol has produced and opened many oppurtunities for people that were nobody. i have a son, who makes them all look like they are singing kaqreoke. he is struggling but i believe in him and know his time will come. why would jennifer bash simon?? she should thank him like carrie underwood did when she won a grammy. now that's a lady. personally i love simon randy and paula. so jennifer you had your fame get over it. who put you there in the first place??? talk about insecurity.... if i got up there and sang rest assure simon would tell me to go and sing kareoke. of course i'd laugh and agree with him, but that is not the point. america enjoy the show and be receptive, open minded pay attention and thank simon for bringing us all the attention to all the wanna be's........ my opinion who cares what anyone else thinks, cause you i'm sure have your own and i respect that. but i do not understand someone who is given the oppurtunity and then turns around and bashes the same people that put them there.

AI had nothing to do with her being cast as Effie she walked into an audition like thousands of other people, and she was the best. So they showed 4 clips of simon saying good things, so what? They didn't show the whole clips because there were a couple times that he said how great she sung and then said how ugly she looked (i think that was her, I may be confusing her with another contestant). Not to mention that she was on the show for more than 6 weeks and they showed 4 short clips.

I like Jennifer Hudson but, for goodness sake, she won an Oscar and may have never been discovered if it wasn't for her time on AI. I think she needs to stop talking about how mistreated she was on AI and express thankfulness that she made the top 12 and obviously made a good impression on someone. As I recall, Simon was not one bit harder on her than he was on anyone else. He has always been the tough, sarcastic one of the judges and still is. Nobody puts a gun to these contestants' heads and makes them try out for AI or stay on the show if it upsets them so much. Come on, Jennifer, you've got it made. Shut up about AI.

So she won an Oscar for singing when she is in fact a singer. Colour me unimpressed.
