BBC Review

The success of TV talent show alumni is usually measured by how well they manage to separate themselves from their launchpad – whether they can transform their image from mere contestant to viable pop star convincingly. Jennifer Hudson, though, is arguably the most accomplished product of American Idol, what with an Oscar to go with her gold-certificated albums. And yet, for all her outsized talents, there still remains something of the ordinary girl next door about her.

In the three years since her eponymous debut, Hudson has been through more emotional turbulence than most. In 2008, she suffered tragedy when her sister's estranged husband murdered her mother, brother and nephew; the following year, she gave birth to her first child. The widespread expectation that she would use her second album as a direct form of catharsis was misplaced, though: bar a few non-committal references to past pain, that's simply not Hudson's style. Despite her powerhouse voice and ability to convey emotion, her presence is an understated one – as is her personality, given her apparent preference for vague generalities over hyper-specific detail.

Like her debut, I Remember Me is a curate's egg of an album. Hudson seems to have been able to make even the most excitable producers to calm down: Rich Harrison's contribution, the delicate, piano-driven No One Gonna Love You, is a far cry from the percussive drama he usually favours, while the military tattoo and gospel handclaps of Angel find Swizz Beatz in unusually restrained mode. Hudson excels on both, as well as on the pensive, Ne-Yo-penned Why Is It So Hard: as on her breakthrough hit Spotlight in 2008, her thoughtful, composed delivery is a natural fit for the finesse of his songwriting. The soaring Don't Look Down even has anthem potential: it's low-key here, but the house remix will explode.

But at heart, Hudson still seems as humble as any American Idol contestant still merely "happy to be here"; it makes her all the more endearing, but doesn't always bring her material to life. The less said about an ill-advised big band cover of Feeling Good the better, but what's most disappointing are the faux-inspirational cuts – the title-track, Still Here – whose triteness simply doesn't do Hudson justice. Surely, seven years on from her American Idol graduation, she should be leaving such stock songwriting behind?

5.0 out of 5 stars A Lovely Listen 12 Jun 2011
Format:Audio CD
Whilst I enjoyed the previous singles from Jennifer, the debut never really inspired me with me finding some tracks a little dull however this album is the complete opposite, allowing me to listen from start to finish with no tracks that i want to skip.

No One Gonna Love You - 10/10 - Brilliant song with a great hook - reminds me of Mary J Blige - Gotta be a single!!!
I Got This - 10/10 - An inspirational song with again great vocals and a good beat
Where You At - 10/10 - A beautiful song to show off Jennifer's immense vocal range with gorgeous lyrics
Angel - 9/10 - Though it's not as memorable it is still a beautiful song with good lyrics but seems to get lost
I Remember Me - 10/10 - A fantastic comeback with awesome vocals, great lyrics and a generally feel good vibe
Gone - 10/10 - A great little song with great lyrics that wouldn't be out of place on a Leona Lewis album
Everybody Needs Love - 10/10 - This is a great song with a different pace and should be a single
Why Is It So Hard - 10/10 - A ballad written by Ne-Yo which is great with a catchy chorus
Don't Look Down - 9/10 - A great uptempo number which is a little different for Jennifer but the chorus lacks
Still Here - 10/10 - A spine tingling power ballad about her personal tragedies creating a gorgeous song
Feeling Good - 10/10 - A cover but she makes it a song that you could think was hers originally - so stylish!!!
Believe - 9/10 - Not the best as it has slightly boring verses yet is saved with a fantastic chorus
The Star Spangled Banner - 8/10 - This is the only filler but showcases her voice but i'd have preferred a new song
What You Think - 9/10 - A good song, but not the best but it has a really good hook and a powerful chorus
Love Is Your Colour - 10/10 - A duet with Leona Lewis from Sex And The City - 2 powerhouses and a beautiful song
Spotlight - 10/10 - we all know this and it still sounds great

Overall a great second album that should have done better - a voice like hers entertains for hours and i can't wait until album 3

3.0 out of 5 stars Ohh Jennifer 11 May 2011
Format:Audio CD
This album is no means her greatest. Although it does contain some very good tracks, I'm afraid to say that it fails to inspire me into writing a better review. The album is made up of about 3 very good tracks and the rest seem to just fill the space. Not only are they poorly written, but sound remarkably the same.

3 stars ***
