Jennifer Hudson made her first public appearance since the tragic killings of her mother, brother and nephew at tonight’s Superbowl XLIII in the US, singing the US national anthem – The Star Spangled Banner.
WOW! Jennifer joined the ranks of Whitney and Mariah with her performance of this particular song on this particular stage. It really goes to show why Ms. Hudson is one of the premier voices in today’s industry. Welcome back Jennifer! Amazing.
What do you think of the performance?

A stellar renedition she kinda played around wit the original arrangement of the song and Killed it. I’m very proud of her.
omg she made the song her own…… she really did her thing. yes she is a diva……no ur beyonce type of diva. but a whitney and mariah powerhouse type diva
just seeing her about to start the song is sad, shes beautiful and a brave woman, well done like sam says welcome back. i have to admit she sung that beautfully. shes a true star who doesnt deserve to have what has happen to her. she deserve everything.. pure talent!!! jennifer keeping doing what ur best at!!!! x
WOW!! That was a great performance! …..plus the Steelers won!!!!!!!
All I gotta say is DAMN!I will be adding that to my collection of songs! I LOVE J.Hudson! I really do. I prayed for her to make a smooth recovery and she has. It’s now her time to shine!
yeah pretty good even though she lip synced it

I am … the Beast!
what i’m wondering though is…. if she is even ready for this. so soon……

I am… the Beast
She did a good job even tho the song was pre-recorded.
^ but do you all really think she couldnt pull that off live? Cause she could…jus sayin. Girl is amazing
good recorded vocal i can spot lip singing anyday but it was good just wished she did it live
Everyone pre-records vocals for that, its hard to get the acoustics perfect in a venue that large.
LOVED IT, FLAWLESS, GREAT JOB!
It was great, she did amazing. However to say she was up there with Mariah and Whitney is imo ridiculous. But i hope she’s coming to terms with what happened to her, and i don’t like the media exploiting her pain for commercial gain.
People need to give props when props are due because Jennifer could sing next to Whitney and Mariah and be able to hold her own. She did a great job and after what she has gone through it is just great to see her doing what she does best. She looked great as well.
It was a good performance…she rearranged several notes i guess to fit her vocal ability…but still a good performance…My top three is still Whitney, Mariah and Beyonce
OH PLEASE!!!! That was beautiful, pre recorded or not… Infact get mariah to do that now and she would get boood off stage!
she was amazing… stop haitting everyone from Beyonce to whitney national anthem was pre recorded also there so way u can sing live in a auditorium that size….
LOVED IT!!!!!!! ONE OF THE BEST RENDITIONS OF THE NATIONAL ANTHEM. SHE IS REALLY UP THERE. GOOD JOB J.HUD!!!!!
ok let me state that i like jhud…but yea it was per recored not saying that she couldnt do it live cuz i kno she could but bey did hers live…by herself as well as wit dc3 so stop saying she lipped it
yea she did lip sing this sorry!
^^^They have to be recorded, it’s was stated by the network as they don’t advice anyone to try to sing live at a venue as large. Get your s*** together people.
yea she sounded great but comparing her to whitney & mariah is absurd. i understand her whole family died and what not but thats obvioulsy clouding your judgemnet.
^ thats not true. Don’t let the fact that she is a new artist cloud your judgement. She did excellent.
I actually thought that hers was better than Mariah why yal trying to make it seem like she is a vocal God or something! She is number 2 in my book behind MS. HOUSTON ofcourse
she did okay it was nice not as good as Whitney and besides….
she lip synced it lol
Lip-SYNC! It’s called lip-SYNCING short for lip-synchronization! What the hell is lip singing? Everyone who sings sings with their lips! Jesus Christ Almighty. SMH
Carry on.
wow. like i’ve said before about this performance, she did an amazing job, and this rendition is one of a kind.
She represented for CHI-town, the US, and most of all her beloved Family.
This shows how great of a future she has instore.
i can’t believe ppl think she was lip-syncing. i kno for a fact she was singing live from her heart, u can hear her breath, she SANG!!!
i was blown away by Hudson’s rendition of the National Anthem, (lip synch or not); she has an amazing talent
I love her unique take on the Anthem and that makes her in the Top Bracket of performing this song…
Lip-Sync or not the vocals spoke for themselves and we ALL know J. Hud can BLOW when she singing..
She looking great and is a powerful women inside keepin her head with GOD.
