Sharing her feelings of gratitude was hard for Jennifer Hudson. Well, it was difficult until she started singing. Then, the words came easily and beautifully. As she belted out "You Pulled Me Through," Hudson's screamed thank you. Emotion enveloped everyone in the Staples Center, when she took the stage at the 51st annual Grammy Awards.
Her powerful voice showed its massive range. Ironically, everyone seemed to know it wasn't for show. Hudson was expressing gratefulness in the only way she knew how. Seeing seemingly jaded performers humbled was fascinating. Under the pall of Hudson's immense tragedy, they realized celebrity isn't everything...if only for a moment.
The Grammy winner's Super Bowl performance of "The Star-Spangled Banner" offered a similar scene. As she lip-synced (at the request of Super Bowl producers), Hudson's emotion was evident in her recorded rendition. As she poured her soul into the patriotic tune, it sent one message. Thank you.
Being grateful and humble just makes the fabulous Miss Hudson that much more wonderful.
