Jennifer Hudson’s joint tour with Robin Thicke rolled into Atlanta last night. The Grammy and Oscar winner was joined by the legendary Jennifer Holliday during ‘And I Am Telling You’, with the pair shutting it all the way down (I love me some church wailing and Ms. Holliday’s priceless facial expressions!). A-mazing performance. {Thanks Kisha!}

Awesome performances! It goes to show why, as I’ve said many a time, Jennifer is one of the premier talents of today. Sans the dancers, stage theatrics and other enhancements / distractions, Jennifer still manages to be a force on stage.

Jennifer Hudson follows-up last year’s ‘Spotlight’ with new single ‘If This Isn’t Love’, the video for which premiered a few moments ago. Directed by Diane Martel, the clip has a simple concept, yet one which powerfully conveys the song’s message. I’ve grown quite fond of the song itself too.

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.

Last night an UNCF’s ‘An Evening Of Stars – A Tribute To Patti Labelle’ aired in the US. The show, which was filmed back in September of last year, featured performances from host of artists, including Fantasia, Jennifer Hudson and LeToya – whose live showings you can see below:
Fantasia – Lady Mamalade
Jennifer Hudson – Somewhere Over The Rainbow
LeToya – Where You Talk About Love
Jennifer and LeToya really did their thing, nailing both of their performances (Jennifer, in particular surprised, as some of her adlibs showed me things I never thought she could do vocally). Fantasia, however, was off the charts…A-Mazing. While Fanny’s church wailing may not be to everyone’s taste, at a show honoring Patti Labelle, it certainly was apt. Great, great performances all-round. {Thanks Joanna!}

Jennifer Hudson Shoots New Video According to Video Static, Jennifer Hudson shot the video for brand new single ‘If This Isn’t Love’ within the last week. {Source}
I was quite surprised to learn of this as, considering the murder spree that claimed the life of her mother, brother and nephew back in October, I thought her project had also come to an end (understandably so). That said, I’m pleased Jennifer is pressing on and not allowing the occurrence to weigh down her career.

Randomness
: I’m really hoping ‘Invisible’ gets the single treatment at some point.
