    Jennifer Hudson Wows At Obama Fundraiser Concert

    Written by TriniTrent | Filed under Jennifer Hudson
    Jennifer Hudson Obama TheLavaLizard

    Jennifer Hudson performs at US President Barack Obama’s fundraiser concert.

    Similar to Patti LaBelle before her, Jennifer Hudson has become the go-to singer for tributes, charity events and gala performances. As such, it was no surprise that the powerhouse diva was selected to perform at US President Barack Obama’s most recent fundraiser concert.

    Hosted in Los Angeles, Obama’s show featured a hefty-voiced Hudson belting a cover Sam Cooke’s ‘A Change is Gonna Come’. Usually, this is the point where a clever comment about Hudson roaring or yelling would be made but in this case, her over the top vocal performances was quite welcomed.

    Watch Hudson raise the roof at the Obama fundraiser below:

    Thanks The YBF!

      Jennifer is so talented, I wish her good luck in future endeavors.

    • Jasanti

      I don’t know why I’m just not taken by her. She is a good singer, but she has no versatility in vocals. She should train to do more like Beyonce, Brandy, and Dawn.

      • Jeff

        Ha! I hope you mean dawn from En Vogue..
        Dawn Robison is a nobody. She should stick to being Diddys backup singer.

        • Jeff

          Richards I meant

        • LouLou

          Lol at Dawn Robison!
          I agree with Jasanti though. She’s a good singer, but she needs training. I hate when people compare her to Whitney.

    • James M.

      Jennifer is a vocalist… Period. Point. Blank. But what makes her a bland singer is her inability to sell a song… We’re accustom to the “And I’m Telling You” style of singing… She needs to add more theatrics to her performances… With that big voice, start singing ten feet away from the mic and gradually build as you walk closer… Stretch and echo with the mic… Play with your imperfections… Hell, bye a Clark Sisters album then (listen and learn)… IMO

      I love jennifer I really do, but I think after she won the oscar someone told her she didnt need voice lessons anymore and I think thats not true. To be honest, she has never been able to perform and I am telling you live well, she hits the same notes like trent said, and sometimes I see her and get disappointed because she never takes it there. Now she does have some of my fav performances of all time, Like her cover of never loved a man still slays, and her cover of somewhere, and all in love is fair with stevie. But then she will have so so performances like somewhere over the rainbow or when she performed I will always love u at the bet honors. I dont know, I honestly think she sounded better on idol. I still get chills from her performance on weekend in new england.

    • Toni, Team JHud

      Jennifer Hudson this perfomance just gave me chills girl. wow…
