She was an American Idol runner up - turned - Academy award winner - turned - survivor .... called Jennifer Hudson. Nothing is special about her that will make me crazy over the voice and the acting. There is Latoya London and Melinda Doolittle for the voice and Angelina Jolie for the acting. But there is something about her that made me known her in some ways .... she is a survivor. Last October 2008, her Mom, brother and nepwhew were killed (the suspect is nothing but her brother in law). And for the first time, she is back on the "spotlight" via the superbowl halftime show.
I don't think someone can sing this good after having the typhoon of losing loved ones, and to make it worst, she lost three members of the family and they were murdered. I don't really know her, aside from she is the very first Academy award winner I saw in person via their Singapore concert years ago and her Gap billboard in Orchard, but I want to know more about her now. As my nieces did, I will also include her latest single, Spotlight, into my favorite playlist.
