Jennifer Hudson is Back
Posted in Faith Hill, Jennifer Hudson, Super Bowl on the February 6, 2009
Jennifer Hudson and Faith Hill brought their A-game when they performed at the Super Bowl XLIII between the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida this past Sunday. The 27-year old former American Idol contestant sang the US National Anthem while the 41-year old country singer Faith sang ‘America the Beautiful’ during the pre-game show. The event was the first public appearance and performance for Jennifer since the brutal murders of her mother, brother and nephew. And what a way to come back! I hope she’s had enough time to mourn and move on and that she can focus on work again.
Rihanna Rocks Super Bowl Bash
Posted in Rihanna, Super Bowl on the February 5, 2009
Rihanna performed a four song set at the Pepsi Smash Super Bowl Bash which was held at Florida State Fairgrounds’ Ford Amphitheatre last week in Tampa, Florida. She performed four of her hit songs including, ‘Disturbia’, ‘Breakin Dishes’, ‘Rehab’ and ‘Shut Up and Drive’. The 20-year old Barbadian singer certain looked like a sexy football fanatic with her shin guards and kneepads. She even managed to wok in a hot pair of Christian Louboutin boots! The VH1 sponsored event also had performances by Fall Out Boy and Lifehouse. But who cares about them when you’ve got Rihanna? I’m kidding. I have nothing against those bands. It’s just – it’s Rihanna!
Jennifer Hudson’s Super Bowl performance lip-synced?
Posted in Jennifer Hudson, Super Bowl on the February 3, 2009
Jennifer Hudson has started working again after the tragic murder of her brother, mother and 7 year-old nephew in October. Hudson had a big comeback singing the national anthem during the Super Bowl’s opening last Sunday. However, her singing has stirred a lot of rumors including the rumor that any self-respecting singer would not want to surface: lip-synced. So did Hudson lip synced the singing of the national anthem during the Super Bowl? The rumor has elicited mixed responses from viewers with some of them saying she delivered a good performance and it was still her voice though lip-synched. However, there are those who criticized Hudson and the show’s organizers for faking it.
The rumor was further fanned by show producer Ricky Minor who said he insisted that Hudson sing to a pre-recorded track since it is the right way to do it. Minor said this way they would be able to avoid glitches which would devastate the performance. Minor should however explain what he just said because a lot of people are getting confused. Did Hudson used a pre-recorded track which means only the music was pre -recorded or did she pre-recorded the song which means she just lip-synched the national anthem?
