We all know Jennifer Hudson from season 3 who ended up in seventh place unfortunately but went on from there to bigger and better things. She went on to play the role of Effie White in the movie Dreamgirls and received the most praise for her rendition of the song “And I’m Telling You I’m Not Going To”. She also won an Oscar for best supporting actress for her role. Hudson has also received 7 nominations for the 2009 NAACP Image Awards.
On a sad note we were all made aware of the tragedy that happened last year when she lost her mother, brother and 7 year old nephew. The story was very shocking and my heart went out to her.
Hudson signed a record deal with Arista Records and her debut album will be for sale sometime in June. On February 1st she will be singing the National Anthem at the Superbowl XLIII. I hate football but will be tuning in to watch her sing.
