Jennifer Hudson has had such awful things happen to her and her family lately, it’s good to see her getting back on track.
I didn’t watch the SuperBowl but when my kids are settled for the morning, I think I will come back and watch this performance.
Jennifer looks absolutely gorgeous. I can’t even imagine getting out of bed in the morning if something like that happened to my family. Prayers for her healing.
I’m in Europe and I’m a woman, so I don’t give a rat’s arse about the Superbowl (though no offense meant to those who do like it), we don’t even get it on TV here. But I must say, I really enjoyed watching this. Jennifer Hudson is impressive. She looks incredible and her voice is really something else! It seems to me like she has grown up since her last public appearances, before the awful tragedy in her family. I hope she continues to pull through this as well as she seems to be doing now. I wish her all the best and a long career (but I’m sure that’ll happen without me wishing it for her anyway). She is one strong woman and it’s always nice to have such amazing ladies be a role model to others! Go Jennifer!
Great performance but I thought she looked very nervous and rightly so. Hard to believe she got bounced so early in American Idol.
Her feet were shaking right before she starting singing, poor thing. But she has a gorgeous, clear voice and killed it. That will be one of those Whitney Houston-remember-it-forever type versions.
I hate to be a buzz kill but no she didn’t. She sang it at least a week before gametime (as per NFL rules). So did Faith Hill.
Interesting… “cheetahstrip” has the exact gravatar as “keekee”… what are the odds?

Even if it was prerecorded, she sang the song at some point and did an amazing job. Plus, the woman is gorgeous. My husband thinks she’s the hottest girl in showbiz, and I tend to agree. More importantly, though, she’s obviously an incredibly strong person, and deserves a standing ovation for her character, alone.
Her performance gave me chills… amazing…
Jennifer Hudson beat out Whitney Houston for the best Super Bowl National Anthem by a long shot — lip synch or no lip synch
Jennifer, Jennifer, Jennifer…..what can I say. The last time anyone singing the Star Spangled Banner brought tears to my eyes was Whitney Houston (whom I still shed tears for…..a wonderful gifted songstress who isn’t making her comeback quick enough and one whom may not be coming back). However, more tears flowed from my eyes like a faucet. WHAT A SUPERB PERFORMANCE!!!! AN OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE!!! AND A PERFORMANCE THAT WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN CONSIDERING YOUR RECENT TRAGEDY!!! AND A PERFORMANCE THAT CERTAINLY NOW RETIRES WHITNEY HOUSTON’S VERSION AS BEING THE BEST SINCE MARVIN GAYE’S!!!! BRAVO, BRAVO, BRAVO. May God continue to bless you and comfort you during your time of sorrow that I am sure has not even settled in it’s own resting place.
yea good statements above 😀 …;)
