Jennifer Hudson joined as a coach on The Voice Season 13, and there’s a lot to talk about. The singer and actress, who got her start on another singing competition show, American Idol, has accomplished a lot during her showbiz career and is ready to pass on that knowledge to up-and-comers.

Hudson has been in the press a lot recently, talking about her new role, her past, and what’s to come. Here’s what we’ve learned about her since she started on The Voice.

Considering she already won as a coach on the UK version of the show, it’s no surprise that Hudson came to The Voice to win. In an interview with ET, she explained how she plans to go about doing that.

“I know when I see talent, I feel it,” she said. “I go by my instinct, and how that sound makes me feel.”

In the interview, Hudson also calls out her fellow coaches and talks about her own accomplishments. After Miley Cyrus lists off the pets she takes care of, Hudson cuts in, “Well, hold on, I got three dogs, and [sic] they name is Oscar, Grammy, and Dreamgirl, okay?”
