Jennifer Hudson: Star-spangled belter Jhud_l People reports that Barack Obama has booked Jennifer Hudson to sing the national anthem on Thursday night, before his acceptance speech at Denver's Mile High Stadium during the Democratic National Convention. Which is good, because I was worried that Hillary Clinton might book her first, to sing "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going."

I'm sure Barack has more interest in her singing other than the fact she's a native of Chicago. My opinion is he's going to show our nation that anything is possible. Ms Hudson's voice is truly angelic but she wasnt born with a silver spoon in her mouth and fully understands what life has to offer with pure determination, ambition and the drive to succeed.. I feel this is imperative to what he's trying to show his listeners and voters. Surely on the one of the most important nights of his life, he would ask someone that has grace & poise along with a great voice to share in his dream....That person is Ms Jennifer Hudson
Ms Hudson has proven that dreams definetly can come true. Here's a young woman that was told she wasnt good enough to win AI.....As time went on she's proven not only can she sing & act... she has another opportunity of a lifetime. This moment was destined for her & our next future PRESIDENT....I feel JHUD has a wonderful personality and time & time again showed people the exact opposite of failure....Barack will undoubtly show the comparison between him & Ms Hudson. She never allowed the media or others to stop her from making her dreams come true. She grew up in a home that provided the necessities in life but knew @ an young age, she was destined for greatness
Barack is a brilliant young man that will do greater things for this country because he's for the people. He didnt have millions, People told him that he didn't have a chance of becoming nominated but he didnt allow that to stop him. There's so many comparisons to sharing in the American Dream than actually living the American Dream....I believe that's why he asked Ms Hudson to sing the anthem...She may have lost the title of American Idon but she's an Idol of America.....
Barack hasn't gotten this far in life by making decisions that'll cost him his Presidency. Jennifer Hudson said in her acceptance speech after winning the Oscar...."see what God can do".....Her voice is very very powerful and I'm certain not everyone will appreciate her singing..I'm also certain she'll sing well enough and beautifully enough that more people will acknowledge and accept her, therefore she'll be more respected .Her soulful vibes should transend throughout history for this moment is history in the making.
I'm proud of his choice to have her sing the anthem. She'll also get international exposure. One thing is certain whether it's her or someone else. You just cannot please all the people all the time. Congrulations to Obama & Ms Hudson on such a memorable evening. Make the people proud and continue to be true to yourselves.
