Hudson lip synchs, 'oversings' National Anthem
Posted by Jeff Hahne on Mon, Feb 2, 2009 at 11:20 AM
OK, look, I'm not trying to be insensitive here. Jennifer Hudson has gone through a terrible tragedy that no one would wish on anyone, and did an incredible thing by showing up at the Super Bowl and being able to perform. It takes courage to do that.
Now, let's be real. She's not a singer — she's a screamer/oversinger. It starts out ok, but then it just gets loud. I said it during her days on American Idol, I said it when she was in Dreamgirls and I'll say it now:
"Hey! Jennifer! See that microphone in your hands? It makes noises louder. You don't need to scream! Oh, and sorry for all that you've been through..."
Aside from the performance, remember how she's an Oscar-winning actress. Well, she was lip-synching last night.
Here's her screaming the National Anthem last night before the Super Bowl.

Didn’t say I could… and gave her credit for doing it. It’s just my opinion that she "oversings" more than she sings. People wonder why she didn’t win Idol - for the same reason (as the “judges” told her many times).
She is a screamer.. but I did like her performance last night. I think she did pretty good. This wasn't one of her more "screaming" performances.
WHAT?! Did you actually hear her last night? She was AMAZING!! and what a comeback! We must have not been watching the same performance because so far you are the ONLY ONE that has said this! I gave her super high ratings and reviews because she deserved it! Maybe you should watch it again!
