Jennifer Hudson's Eyeing Obama Inaugural Performance

Filed under: Jennifer Hudson > Barack Obama

We hope this happens!

A source close to Jennifer Hudson has said that the Oscar winner may perform the Star Spangled Banner at Barack Obama's inauguration on January 20th.

It would be her first public performance/appearance since the horrific murder of her mother, brother and young nephew.

"Organizers want Jennifer to sing 'The Star-Spangled Banner' at the Inauguration on Jan. 20. They are talking to Jennifer about it. It would be the first time she performed since the murders. She is from Chicago and a huge Obama supporter," said the insider.

Do it if you're ready, Jennifer! We've missed you.

    nice!



  2. 2

    That would be really cool……



  3. 3

    I hope she does. She has a beautiful voice and is classy.



  4. 4

    Ask a Chicago Cop. Her brother was a major drug dealer and there were always calls about her mother's house selling drugs. It's too bad that her nephew had to die. Look at her sister's my space where she's out partying and drinking/flashing gang signs the day after the murders.

    Re: Slumber_Michele – Hi dildo whore.

    I would much rather hear Beyonce sing the "Star Spangled Banner"! Her re-endition has to be the best version ever! I would say her conclusion of the song is what placed her one step above Whitney Houston. Although Whitney Houston & Celine Dion are the most incredible vocalist to ever grace the industry. Beyonce is the best vocalist this generation has.

    Oh please Beyonce defenders… we don't need her self-promotion at the inauguration too. Her self-serving performance in Cadillac Records was more than I could bear. Three full songs in the movie??? (Jeffrey Wright and Mos Def were WAAAAY BETTER) PLUS an original song (no doubt written in hopes she'd garner an Oscar nod). She's so disgustingly transparent. Sister please. Step off and let a Chicago girl have the lime light. It's Jen's time. She's a longtime Obama supporter and deserves to start '09 off on a positive note.



  15. 15

    I HOPE SHE'S WELL ENOUGH. I LOVE HER SOULFUL VOICE AND IT WOULD BE A BLESSING FOR HER TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS HISTORIC EVENT.



  16. 16

    Boooo I would say have AC/DC perform hahaha but of course it is going to have to be a black artist…maybe someone who is not ghetto and trashy….Aicia Keys has a tremendous voice….hmmm John Legend is good too but Jen Hudson is hella ghetto



  17. 17

    I wish her well after the horror she has been through. Do it Jennifer and rock the house!



  18. 18

    Good idea.



  19. 19

    Re: Taylor – yeah, and what bothers me about her is that she got her long wished fame and didn't move her mother out of the slums. Wats up wit dat? Then say you love your mama? Full of shit is all I have to say.



  20. 20

    I hope she performs. It would be very fitting.



  21. 21

    If she's ready, that would be the perfect opportunity to honor her family and get back to work.



  22. 22

    LMAO!!
    if that's true and she really did sing it'd be hilarious
    b/c beyonce wants to sing at the inaugural ceremony tooo
    JENNIFER VS. BEYONCE
    once again lol



  23. 23

    That would be really great!! She is such a wonderful talent!



  24. 24

    This is ultimately fantastic!!! I certainly hope they get her.. Waaaaaay better than Beyonce'/Sasha Fierce whatever.. noone wants a snotty brat Diva to ruin the inauguration.

    GO J-Hud , I have loved u since Idol, and I believe she absolutely deserves this huge honor!

    Re: Pea Brain

    How many times does this have to be said? Her mother did not want to move, end of story. Do you think she has the power to make her mom leave the house that she was raised in or memories behind? You cant blame Jennifer for anything.

    Anyways, I would love to see her sing. I think this would be a great way for her to come back and start the year in a good way.

    LOVE her hair in this pic!



  30. 30

    Awww, she and her family deserve such the honor.. I hope she's feelin it, I'd love it!



  31. 31

    I hope she does do it of she is indeed offered to. She is incredibly gorgeous and extremly talented. Her momma would be and I am sure was VERY proud.
