In Case You Missed It
February 1st, 2009 by Evil BeetHere is the gorgeous and talented Jennifer Hudson singing the National Anthem at the Super Bowl game.
J-Hud did a phenomenal job with this.
If only the refs had been equally competent!!!

Wow. She is truly phenomenal.
God bless her.
I think God already did bless her with the whole family being murdered thing.
your such a dick dp.
DP, I hope you get Donkey Punched. Frequently.
whitney houston WHO????!!
DAMN! That was absolutely goose pimplingly awesome!
I am not normally a fan of J. Hudson but she did great…she sounded amazing…and I freaking LOVED her jacket! Does anyone know what brand it is?
ditto on everything.
Alexander McQueen.
totally prerecorded audio. still fantastic, nonetheless.
They’re always pre-recorded. So was Faith Hill’s
I dont think that was prerecorded… such no-it-alls!!!
It doesn’t have to be. Bruce wasn’t lip-syncing. She’s way too talented to have to resort to that. And we shouldn’t put up with it either.
I’m really sorry about her family. And I thought she looked good. But don’t ask me to like her pretending to sing.
I read on MSN that it was pre recorded and she lip synched it, but still, it was a knock out.
can someone say pre-recorded?
She was flawless! I just couldn’t help thinking of all she has gone through yet she came out with poise and class. *wipes a tear*
That was so beautiful. She really is amazingly talented.
That was undoubtedly the most incredible rendition of the National Anthem that I have ever heard. In fact, I plan to save it so that I can re-play it every once in a while. I think it was because of what Jennifer has gone through that she was able to reach very deep and bring SO MUCH emotion to a song to which most people don’t even know all of the words. My heart bleeds for Jennifer, and I thank her for her inspiration.
So when are you joining up with the military so you can be “inspired” every day?
That was incredible. Props to JHud.
Agreed on the refs.
who’s the guy at 0:24 seconds? he’s a babe. =]
oh, Jennifer did GREAT.
Santonio Holmes
WOW.
And agreed, 0:24 is LUSH.
It would be nice if a black person could someday sing the national anthem in a non-soulful way. Obama won, you people can give up on trying to make everything black all over.
dude it would be nice if ANYONE would sing it in a non-soulful, turn every note into 5 notes way, but it’s not gonna happen. you don’t need to be all picky about the race, everybody does it.
TBH. i didnt think it was THAT good… :/
towards the end the long high notes were produced from a tensed throat which made it quite scraping on the ear, her transition from cheast to head voice was appaaaling, her diction was non-existent, she either didnt use any, or very minimal support from her diaphragm, which didn’t help… and to top it all off she went off key terribly at 1:49. So, if this WAS a pre-recording then the person who made it should be shot. Ok, shot is a bit harsh but fired, certainly :). Without being big headed, because belive me i’m not, I could have done better.. although i do have the advantage that i am actualy a TRAINED singer.
however, if thats the kind of singing you like, who am I to say its crap… although it was ;)
well aren’t you being bitchy.
“I am actually a TRAINED singer”
ooooh good for you.
Wow what a jealous loser. You did not impress us with your lingo and i dont think you would impress us with your trained voice either. No one cares. I think your fibbing or you are extremely unmotivated considering that you seem to be very into singing and think you can do better than her. I mean if that were true then why are you not anywhere near where she is at?
Give it up.
well jennifer hudson’s famous and you’re a nobody who is bragging on an online blogging site, so she still wins. at life.
Im the queen of merry fucking england!
You. Are. A. Bitch.
ermm well, considering i’m only 16, Jennifer Hudson wasn’t exactly famous at my age was she, so dont call me “unmotivated” :) also, I didnt really use any “lingo” if you simply don’t understand then I think you should look up some basic terminology before you start dishing out rude comments, because i clearly DO know what i’m talking about. Oh and with regards to my voice, I’m studying post grade 8 music, I have a four octave range and I currently sing for the NYCGB so erm unless you think that thats crap, which btw is one of the best choirs in the world… shh yourself.
I’ll take Bruce any day.
she looked sad :(. makes your heart hurt a little.
who gives a shit if it was prerecorded. i would be able to drag my ass out of bed for a year if i was in her situation. THAT GIRL CAN SING and she looked fantastic doing it.
That was BEAUTIFUL. God bless America and God bless her. What a voice. She is a courageous, beautiful young woman. How did she pull herself together to accomplish that fabulous rendition of our national anthem. I wish her all the best.
Gave me shivers! Stunning all round:)
