I watched that this morning—or at least my morning as I have become quite the nightowl—and Jennifer does indeed have some pipes. I was thinking as I watched that she and Adam both have attained more renown from singing other peoples music. I know she has put out albums but overall, they are not the source of her fame. I was a little jealous that she and Carole King wrote an original song for the Aretha biopic which will, of course, be eligible for an Oscar. I wish Queen and Adam had done the same for the Freddie biopic. Oh well. Yep. I would not be surprised if Jennifer wins an Oscar for her song and maybe even another Grammy. She has 2 Grammy's already. One for Best R&B Album (easier to win outside of pop, lol). And one for Musical Theater Album for her work on "The Color Purple" (that probably went to the entire cast). Maybe Cinderella will get a nom. for MTAlbum.
She does not do big solo headlining tours like Adam. She concentrates more on acting and does not need to worry about her own music for touring.
ETA: I just remembered that Billie Ellish will be up for the Osacar for her song for the Bond movie. It did not come out earlier because of Covid. If she is up against Jennifer, I think she may have the edge. The last Bond movies gave Oscars to Adele and Sam. But anything can happen.

I a totally on board with this whole discussion. JHud is working hard on her career and is sure reaping the benefits. She does not have to worry about Billboard status or concert tours. She has broken through to a different part of the business. I have never been a fan and I frankly did not like Dream Girls at all. (I was one of the very few. LOL) But tht film was JHud's big break and there you go. There was no looking back for her. I want so much for Adam to get back on track with his solo music and touring successfully, But I also hope that his many talents will eventually get tapped. I know he's done the animated film work, with more to come. That's great! And other projects in the works, too. Would even like to see him work with JH if the chance arises. But he has talents of his own still to be tapped. Sometimes it's frustrating. I think new projects will continue to come his way.

But he has talents of his own still to be tapped. Sometimes it's frustrating. I think new projects will continue to come his way. Agree. Adam and Jennifer both have reported net worth of 30M so neither is reliant on Billboard status. Adam was last updated before the QAL stadium tour of Australia/NZ/Asia so his is likely higher now. Jennifer was just recently updated from 25M to 30M. And those two only come in behind Carrie and Kelly as far as Idols. Kelly had a lot of Billboard chart success in the past but not so much after her last two albums. So she is also no longer depending on the Billboard charts either. Country is a different beast so Carrie should continue her chart success, lol.
But like you, I would love for Adam to get more acting opportunities. I think like Neil Patrick Harris and Matt Bomer, he could play any part regardless of sexuality. I don't care if he gets a lead just yet but would love to see him get larger roles and more experience.
