Spotlight Shining for Jennifer Hudson
Tuesday, September 30th, 2008She only came in seventh place on American Idol, but she’s the only one to date who’s an Academy Award winner. Now Jennifer Hudson is set for more accolades with the release of her self-titled disc.
Vibe senior associate editor Keith Murphy told USA Today that “‘Spotlight‘ could have been sung by Rihanna or another pop or R&B act, but (Hudson) takes it somewhere else. She can belt out a song and make you cry.”
Hudson has no reason to shed any tears but tears of joy these days. She recently got engaged to reality show contestant David Otunga, and her latest film The Secret Life of Bees, the follow up to her role in the box office smash Sex and the City, comes out October 17th.
So the question is raised again — is it better not to win American Idol? Comment and let us know.
