Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre played host to the 4th biennial ‘Stand Up To Cancer’ event Friday.

The one hour telethon, which sees the best of Hollywood from film to television and music join to raise money for cancer research, boasted an A-list guest list of Kerry Washington, Halle Berry, and many more.

Elsewhere on the bill powerhouse vocalists Ariana Grande and Jennifer Hudson headlined the night’s musical entertainment.  Grande, whose new album ‘My Everything’ currently reigns over Billboard 200, took to the stage in tribute to her grandfather who died of cancer earlier this year.  Her emotional performance of the album’s title track was pegged one of the night’s highlights as well as Hudson’s performance that saw her lend vocals to the tune ‘Remission’ with rappers Lupe Fiasco and Common.

A ten track, star-studded affair featuring the likes of fellow Chicagoan R. Kelly, T.I., and his Grand Hustle protegee Iggy Azalea, the album also features production from Timbaland and more.  See it in its entirety below:

An important set for the Oscar and Grammy winner, all eyes will be on whether it can cement her status as a major name in the music arena in the way the aforementioned awards have done for her in the acting sphere.

For too long, the B that stands in R&B stood for boring, with many of the genre’s staple steering clear of the creativity that saw the likes of SWV, Jon B and Missy Elliott rise to the top globally in the 90s, to embrace a sound that screamed…well…local.

Fortunately for fans of Jennifer Hudson, her brand new number ‘It’s Your World’ is anything but that.

The perfect fusion of Dance and R&B, ‘World‘ marks the latest jam to be lifted from the singer’s forthcoming LP, and sees Hudson set her sights on an audience far wider than her core fan base with a feel-good vibe with wide reaching appeal.

Why Hudson stands just one radio deal away from scoring her first ‘Hot 100′ hit?
