Hudson Will Not Be Performing For Obama

Filed under: Music Minute > Jennifer Hudson

jhud__opt22.jpg

As we mentioned last week, reports claimed that Jennifer Hudson might be singing the Star Spangled Banner at Barack Obama's inauguration on January 20th.

That would have marked her first public performance/appearance since the horrible murders of her family.

However, we've just found out that won't be happening.

A rep has just confirmed that “There is no truth to this."

J-Hud must still be needing some time to get better.

We would have loved to watch her perform at the inauguration, though.

So now it seems her first public performance will still be on February 6th at the MusiCares Person of the Year event in Los Angeles honoring Neil Diamond.

We can't wait to see her then!

Thinking of ya, Jen!

  2. 2

    Aww this sux. Was looking forward to seeing her… At least they didn't allow beyonce to destroy the inauguration with her incessant shrills….



  3. 3

    TOO SOON



  4. 4

    THAT WOULD BE TOO EMOTIONAL…..SINGING THAT SONG FOR OUR FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT? NO WAY I COULD DO THAT IF I WERE HER.

    Re: Steve Drill – This is why they didn't allow assholes like yourself either… I would say 2 big middle fingerz up your ass but you might actually be into that. lol

    it's still too soon for her



  15. 15

    She should take all the time she needs - God Bless. Your Fans will wait :)

    Seriously… Do you guys honestly enjoy her singing? I don't. I feel bad for what happend to her fam, but there is a reason that only one of her songs made it to the radio meanwhile her album has been out for two years. I wouldn't want her singing at the inauguration. Plus, why make her the posterchild for black violence survival? Really people. Give it a rest.

    She isn't ghetto in fact she's very classy.

    Re: LaDiva welcomes 2009….

    Make it four, but not yours,…your mom's.

    This probably will save Obama's (and taxpayer money) life and shit. They let this fat welfare bitch in there they'll end up shooting the place and stealing everything.



  20. 20

    Whatever.

    I wish she'd go away.



  21. 21

    This girl is a mediocre singer at best. Why all the hype?



  22. 22

    Oh she is so talented (lol) she will be missed so much (lol) ? Many people call her The black Miley Cyrus?



  23. 23

    oh please. If Hudson HAD performed at this event, I would have questioned her humanity.
    It will take a lifetime to recover from this loss, not months.



  24. 24

    You know what Perez FUCK you for blocking my comments like i said anything wrong.



  25. 25

    Re: Shut.Tha.Fuck.Up
    Don't even waste your time replying to this ass. There's a reason their screen name is Turd Ferguson. They already know what you called them! :)

    Jennifer Hudson should take all the time she needs to get better.



  26. 26

    amen



  27. 27

    Take your time bebe - your mental health should be the number one priority right now. So good for you for not rushing yourself.



  28. 28

    …what a fat fucking nasty nigglet Jen-Heffer is! How many buckets of fried chicken do you think she eats in a day? :)



  29. 29

    No problem with J-Hud but I thought Leona Lewis was performing.



  30. 30

    Jennifer is a beautiful and talented individual. Although, I completely disagree with the fact that she could possibly sing at our future president's inauguration. We must all admit, if there wasn't such a tragedy in her life, no one would think twice about her singing in front of Obama….and that is just the hard truth. She is talented, beautiful, smart, and has gone through much more than she should have ever gone through. And my heart completely and utterly goes out to her.

    Re: Steve Drill – Sorry asswipe. Not even a dead corpse would allow their fingerz to ride up your a-hole…
