Jennifer Hudson Is Playin'                             Ball with the Boys

 

This has been a BIG week for girl power! Right on the heels of Katherine Bigelow’s Oscar win for Best Director, CBS has announced that Jennifer Hudson has recorded a version of “One Shining Moment” which will be played at the end of the NCAA men’s basketball championship.  While the song has been a staple of the Final Four since 1987, this is the first time a woman has been asked to sing it.

J Hud said in a statement:

"The song inspires you. It moves you. It motivates you and helps you reach that goal and that dream."

And who knows more about dreaming than this Dreamgirl? From American Idol to Oscar and Grammy winning artist, Jennifer has proved that working hard can make any dream come true! Keep it up girl!

I love Jennifer's voice, she is an excellent artist. I also think what happen to her family is absolutly upsetting. She is humble and the song fits her. It sounds like a dreamer wrote the song and had a dreamer sing it.
