Bebe Rexha didn’t just stop by daytime television for a chat, she delivered a vocal twist few saw coming.
On Tuesday’s episode of The Jennifer Hudson Show, the Albanian-American pop star veered off the expected pop path and into opera territory, unleashing a soaring note that instantly shifted the energy in the room. The moment, teased in first-look images ahead of the broadcast, quickly became the episode’s headline event.
A Pop Star With Classical Roots
While Rexha is best known for radio-ready hits and high-profile collaborations, she has long hinted at a deeper vocal range. Her brief operatic run on the show wasn’t played for comedy; it was controlled and confident, drawing an audible reaction from the studio audience and host Jennifer Hudson, who is no stranger to powerhouse vocals herself.
The exchange felt less like a stunt and more like a reminder: Rexha can sing-sing.
In an era where viral moments often revolve around spectacle, this one centered on skill.
Manifesting the Moment
Beyond the surprise high note, Rexha reflected on the path that led her there. She shared a memory from her teenage years in New York, when she wrote a promise to herself on her bedroom door: one day she would become a superstar and craft an international hit.
That declaration, scribbled before fame arrived, now reads like prophecy. Rexha has since built a global career and stacked chart success across genres.
She told Hudson that she has practiced “manifestation” for much of her life, setting intentions and trusting they would materialize. Brand partnerships, major stages and national television appearances were all part of that mental vision board. Most, she said, have come to pass.
One goal, however, remains elusive.
Still Waiting on Love
Rexha admitted that while career ambitions have fallen into place, romance hasn’t followed the same script.
“I’ve had many manifestations and most have come true… except for love,” she said, candid but composed. Hudson responded with reassurance, suggesting that timing, not fate, may be the missing ingredient.
The conversation touched on self-worth and resilience, themes Rexha has woven into her music and public persona. She also spoke about handling online critics and protecting her mental space, a balancing act for any artist in the social media era.
Entering a New Chapter
The appearance arrives as Rexha prepares for the full release of her forthcoming album, “Dirty Blonde,” a project positioned as a creative reset. She described the record as reflective of where she is now, hinting at growth without abandoning the pop instincts that built her audience.
If the opera note is any indication, listeners may hear a broader spectrum this time around.
Tuesday’s episode airs during daytime hours; viewers can check local listings for broadcast details. But if there’s one takeaway from Rexha’s sit-down, it’s this: just when you think you know her range, she stretches it.
And this time, she did it in Italianate fashion, on daytime TV, no less.
