I loved Jennifer Hudson's performance on American Idol last week and she looked so good too! In fact she looked skinnier than Kelly Clarkson who also performed a few shows back! 
Anyway, I really wanted to feature her guest star performance at Idol for this week's Music Monday. I thought Jennifer was spectacular but I could not find a clear version of the video so we'll make do with this one here okay? Jennifer's solid performance convinced me to immediately fall in love with her song. Apparently this number is Jennifer's personal favourite too!
Take a listen and let me know your thoughts. I love Jennifer Hudson and despite all the hardship and heartbreaks she went through last year, I hope things will only get better for her, starting with this fantastic second single from her self-titled debut album.

lol marzie!! wow, a romantic night for u two then , marzie! rem to record down B while he plays the EL on piano, k! :)
Dats why and then killed the small boy tu yg tak tahan!!!! :(
ok, marzie! thanks for checking!! :)
Itu lah kan marzie.. apa lah salah budak tu kan?? Eee.. so psycho!! I think
dia nak guna ransom budak tu.. tapi terbunuh ke.. or dia dah takut dia leave
a trail.. so he just killed or something.. eee.. so sick and makes me sooo
sad..
_____
I know Shemah! I mean why la why? And some more he’s family, which makes it all the more tragic!
hahaha.. thanks marzie!! you're such a great buddy!! love ya!! :) I love seeing the new TGB at MPG!! :* :*

shemah, i didn;t know there was such a tragic story behind her. She's one strong lady. If me, 2 years also not enough also.
ohh.. so heartbreaking lar, marzie! now my heart is so sad for jen. :(
Very sad story Jean, it was all over the news! Poor Jen!
Exactly Jean! Dats why la pity her, cause just when she’s abt to savour her success, tragedy happened! :(

Morning, Marzie :). You've got first commenter love on my blog. I love Jennifer Hudson's powerful voice. She's a great actress as well.
I just listened 1 min into the vid and I gotta say, she still has not lost the charm. I was just so horrified that she got booted out so early during that season's AI, I thought that she was so good and on par with the winner (what's her name? I forgot lol). This album does justice to her. :) :)
what's the motive of the killing, shem/ marzie?
i bet she must hv gone through weeks of sleepless nights. poor jen! *HUGZ* for jen! Hope she will stay strong and be comforted in knowing that her families are in heaven now.
wer was i? i hv completely missed out this! What happen to her bro-in-law? kena caught kah?
ahhh Mariuca ..I'm tooo busy this week to do MM....but I enjoyed listening to your song...gotta get back to the portrait painting =-O =-O

Aww, how romantic, B playing the piano for you.. :) :) My B can't play any
instruments at all, so he makes up for it by writing songs, but not for me
though.. LOL he only wrote me 1 song and 1 poem so far, and we've been
together 9 years, although he says I'm his inspiration, so I guess that's
okay.. :)
LOL! haha Shemah, me too, the only thing I play is the keyboard chatting on
JS too! LOL I can play the piano but not that well.. :) I can listen to the
song a few times and I'd be able to play it on the piano, although I never
really had any formal piano lessons.. :)
eh Ane, yourB also romantic ma, composing a song & a poem for u! :) :)
Hi Jean! :) :* :* How are you feeling today? is your flu gone?
Jean! Her bro in law, is the suspect for the murders!!!! Heartpain or not???
Dunno Jean, maybe the BIL was high or something. But the point is the small boy was murdered aiyo!!!!
JL! She lost to Fantasia! But she still rocks eh? Love Jennifer Hudson la, so glad that she made her success after Idol! :)
YAY! FC for me Rosidah, thanks so much and thanks too for listening to my selection here! :)
Yeah, her batch had the most number of promising singers. I liked that year's AI. Fantasia was good too, just that AI could only have one winner. ;)
Vote, vote, vote!
