Ok... with all this negativity I have been talking about lately, I need to brighten it up a bit. So I will NOT tell you about my macbook pro drama and my screen going black and me being without my laptop for a week, or that I have to bring it back to get repaired and be without it another 7 to 10 days... nope... I am NOT here to talk about that... (ARRRRRRRGH!)
What I do want to talk about is my girl Jennifer Hudson. As you know, if you have read my blog in the past... I am a big fan of JHud. I have loved her ever since her AI season and I even stopped watching in protest when she was voted off after singing the best non-Whitney version of 'Run to You'... (well... I did tune in to the finale to see Fantasia win... I couldn't help myself... I loved Fantasia too... lol)
We have all heard about Jennifer Hudson's tragedy, losing her Mother, Brother and Nephew in one fell swoop... and our hearts went out to her. I know I really felt for her... So I am really glad to see her back on the scene, and come back in such a major way...
No doubt you have all seen her performance at the Superbowl singing the National Anthem... well if you haven't, here you go...
I have said it before, and I will say it again... JENNIFER HUDSON IS ONE SANGIN' AZZ HEFFA!!!!! WOOOO... THIS GIRL CAN SAAAAA-HA-HA-HA-HAAAAANG! I mean dayum... its crazy. I LOVE her voice. And I love her runs... I love her power. I just love to hear her sing.
And immediately after the superbowl, the press was all over the fact that she lip-sync'd. So fukking what? She had to sing it at some point... its still her voice... and its no less amazing. And really, she didn't need to lip sync. She can perform like that live, and has proven that time and time again. JHud is one artist who doesn't need studio magic... that is for sure.
I am just glad to have her back. If she can overcome losing 3 family members at once... and still shine... how can I be upset about a laptop issue... or a houseguest that is a pain in the azz... or a friend who has drama in her life...
Looking at what she has overcome makes my issues seem so small and insignificant... Just goes to show that no matter what happens, you have to keep on moving... and that you can overcome anything. Kudos to JHud.
Yup - big kudos to her. I love Jhud too - not only because she's the hometown girl - but because she really can sing.
