I first fell in love with Ms. Hudson when she was belting out amazing notes on American Idol. I was one of the would be viewers who couldn't for the life of me figure out how she could have been voted off. I still can't. She was so much better than many of the singers that stayed behind. I have since lost interest in American Idol but not JHud.

This lens is dedicated to singer (and Academy Award winning actress) Jennifer Hudson.

At a Glance 

Jennifer Kate Hudson (born September 12, 1981) is an American actress and singer.

She first gained notice as one of the finalists on the third season of the FOX television series American Idol. She went on to star as Effie White in the 2006 motion picture musical Dreamgirls for which she won numerous awards including an Academy Award, a Golden Globe, a BAFTA, and a SAG Award. Hudson is also one of few actresses who has won all four major movie awards.

Strike a pose...

Everyone was thrilled when it was announced that Jennifer Hudson would grace the covers of fashion icon magazine. She was touted as being the third African American woman and first African American singer to appear on the cover but she's also one of the second plus size women. Vogue, after all, isn't known for it's variation on body type.

Words Don't Bring Me Down... 

I am Beautiful

The song I would love JHud to record:

Beautiful (Written by Linda Perry)

Don't look at me

Everyday is so wonderful
Then suddenly
It's hard to breathe
Now and then I get insecure
From all the pain
I'm so ashamed

I am beautiful
No matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful
In every single way
Yes words can't bring me down
Ohh no
So don't you bring me down today

To all your friends you're delirious
You're so consumed
In all your doom, ooh
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The pieces gone
Left the puzzle undone
Ain't that the way it is

'Cause you are beautiful
No matter what they say
Words can't bring you down
Ohh no
'Cause you are beautiful
In every single way
Yes words can't bring you down
Ohh no
So don't you bring me down today

No matter what we do
(No matter what we do)
No matter what we say
(No matter what we say)
We're the song inside the tune
(Yeah, oh yeah)
Full of beautiful mistakes

And everywhere we go
(And everywhere we go)
The sun will always shine
(The sun will always, always, shine)
And tomorrow we might awake
On the other side

'Cause we are beautiful
No matter what they say
Yes words won't bring us down
Ohh no
We are beautiful
In every single way
Yes words can't bring us down
Ohh no
So don't you bring me down today

Ooh, ohh
Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down, ooh
Today

Go ahead, tell us how much you love Jennifer!
