Jennifer Hudson lip-syncs and then plans to go on tour
Jennifer Hudson has made what can be termed as a moderately successful return to singing and public life and that has given her the confidence to follow it up with a 6-week tour. Fans at the Super Bowl held on Sunday February 1, 2009 got the first glimpse of the singer after she went into hiding following her murders of her brother, mother and nephew last October.
Jennifer, an Oscar winner sang the US National Anthem in front of a sellout crowd but later it was found out that the organizers forced her to lip-sync the song and the crowd had no idea of that. Later her manager had made an announcement that she will undertake a 6-week tour starting at the end of March or early April.
If she lip-syncs again, I am outta here. No excuses. One’s gift for singing should enable one to express grief as well as a host of other strong feelings. The organizers should either have had complete faith in her abilities or let her sing her natural voice or then should not have allowed her on stage.
Such things could really jeopardize someone’s budding career but she’s been around for a while and that’s why the impact will be short lived if at all.
