A little rain need not stop the show.
Just ask Jennifer Hudson, who braved the British rain last night at the launch of ‘The Voice UK.’
As reported, the vocal powerhouse has been aptly tapped to serve as a coach on the show’s upcoming series.
The Oscar and Grammy winner will appear alongside will.i.am, Tom Jones, and Gavin Rossdale when the talent-search makes its debut on ITV1 in January (after a four year stint on the BBC).
Hudson’s involvement comes on the heels of her recent signing with Epic Records and spot in NBC’s ‘Hairspray Live!’
Busy times!

From the wig to the outfit screams old lady attire. If I was that man I would be like “hold your own damn umbrella” haha
She looks like a t***** on meth 🙁
Her music career is not happening..she should join Gaga!
I was surprised Jen signed up for this. I’m assuming she’s in it purely for the pay check. It’s interesting how The Voice hasn’t taken off in the UK when the X-Factor which flopped/got cancelled in so many countries (USA, Germany, France, Sweden) is still going.
Yes Jennifer Hudson. Keep blocking fantasias career, because we don’t need her…fantasia could never
What’s happening with her acting career?! It’s so true what they say once u win an oscar that’s ur career gone. U don’t eat good offers anymore or you aren’t as ambitious as you once were, it’s just a shame her music career isn’t popping either
You ain’t popping either!!!! Stop hating!!!! Jennifer stay booked!!! Hairspray Live, The Voice UK, 2 movies out next year Sandy Wexler and Monster, new album, tour, and the Aretha Franklin biopic!!! Better than your fav!!!!
Jennifer, jennifer, This look aint IT hunny…. But congrats on the success.
she looks old and haggard.
Wow Smh
