Jennifer Hudson sang the National Anthem today & it sounded as flawless as Mahalia Jackson.Singing seems to be effortless for the lovely Jennifer Hudson.She's beyond classification when it comes to her musical style.I believe that this girl could do opera if she wanted to.Jennifer Hudson is a true American Idol in every sense of the world. Here's more on her performance from MTV:
"In her first public appearance since the tragic murders of her mother, brother and nephew in October, Oscar winner and "American Idol" vet Jennifer Hudson gave a stunning performance of the national anthem before the Super Bowl on Sunday (February 1).
Stepping onto a small blue platform, Hudson took a deep breath and leaned easily into the microphone, letting loose her signature crystalline vocals on the country's anthem, bringing the song a dreamy quality that rivaled one of the other great renditions of the anthem at the big game: Whitney Houston's legendary soul shakedown in 1991 during the first Gulf War.
Confident and immaculately turned out in a dark blue military style jacket, long white top and black leggings, Hudson gave a performance for the ages, easily hitting the song's notoriously tricky melody and nailing a pair of long notes at the end that sent shivers through the TV. Pouring her heart into the music on the year's largest TV stage, Hudson instantly set a new standard."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here:http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1604035/20090201/hudson__jennifer.jhtml
