Jennifer Hudson Lip-Synched at Super Bowl
I was marveled last night at how beautiful Jennifer Hudson sounded at the Super Bowl last night. I was also shocked that she didn't break down because of the hardships she's encountered overthe past couple of months. Searching for the video of Jennifer Hudson singing the National Anthem, I came across an article only to find out that Hudson was not singing live
she was in fact lip synching over a previously recorded track:
"This was such an important performance, because it's the first time everyone has seen Jennifer. But she's in such a great place, with such great spirits, and time can heal her wounds. She's on fire right now and totally grounded."
This statement was released by the show's producer, "American Idol" music director Ricky Minor.
Minor described Hudson as being very calm and prepared for her performance. While many artists try to reach for the Houston standard on the huge Super Bowl stage, he said Hudson's soaring take was more personal than patriotic.
"She's from the church," Minor said. "So we wanted to give it a gospel feel, use a little organ, rhythm and really give it a feel that matched Jennifer. We wanted her to emote the lyrics and connect with the song."
After the performance, Minor said Hudson returned to the dressing room and anxiously asked him, "How did I do?"
