Jennifer Hudson may still be raking in praise for her stellar Whitney Houston tribute from Sunday’s American Music Awards 50th anniversary special, but now the EMMY, GRAMMY, OSCAR, and TONY Award-winning diva is gearing up to win even more acclaim for the same as she’s signed on to tribute a member of this year’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction class.
