felicia

yes, she did a wonderful job. it wasnt over the top, but that young lady has such presence.

yeah, I'm certain every designer from here to Europe is sending her select pieces to choose from. I know she's going to dress with class. A little clevage but not over the top. She's matured and hopefully aware of the importance of "THE RIGHT LOOK AND VOICE RANGE" This is more important than AI---Although she received her notority from that show, this moment is very defining. Lets keep her & her temain prayer. Barack hasnt accompolished what he has today by ignoring white AMERICA. She has to sing for everyone. In a perfect world there wouldnt be any critism but thats wishful thinking. I know she' ll do it with tact and grace. Congrulations JHUD

An American Idol Reject you say....If being rejected makes you into a success story such as this one....reject me because she's gone from rags to riches to singing for Obama. Bless you Ms Hudson

To the person that said she didnt have the looks. What looks? That young lady is very beautiful and self assured. The problem is she's not a toothpick. She represents how most American women truly look whatever race. Loisten & look @ her talent. She's going to sing to our upcoming PRESIDENT...Which is not a fool to have someone perform @ this amazing function for all to see. She's getting INTERNATIONAL EXPOSURE. JHUD knows what its like to have to struggle in life. Obama knows what he's doing. If given this opportunity, who wouldnt take it. She's so talented and down to earth. Her career is going to take off moreso. You're in my prayers JHUD because poeple are either going to love you or not. You should be flattered that people are watching you but more importantly you were chosen to sing because OBAMA sees how driven you are and he admires that.....KEEP YOUR HEAD HIGH

Boo Boo---Tiffany Evans wasnt asked to perform @ this particular event...go to sleep and let Barack & JHUD do what they do...INTERNATIONAL PLAYER...LOL

LOL @ THE HATERS....JHUD KEEP DOING YOUR THING AND COLLECT MORE HATERS WHILE YOU COLLECT YOUR PAPER. DUMMIES...SHE'S SINGING THE ENTIRE WORLD...AND GUESS WHA??I'm going to be listening.. I'm sure Barack's team already spoke with her people about her huge voice but she's going to bring it...

JHUD---Know you're busy but I pray for your continued success and know that you're going to do great things. What an amazing time in your life. MOVIES--AWARDS--ALBUM--Now singing for our new PRESIDENT...What an opportunity. You couldnt have chosen a better time to allow AMERICA to hear more from you. Christ is putting you in the right places @ the right time. Where else can you have more people watch you>>>>>> DO IT OBAMA AND JENNIFER.....SING IT WITH CLASS AND SOPHISICATION...KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO LOOK BEAUFTUL

You're missing something here person. Its called choice....We do live in AMERICA.....Stop being so negative...On one of the most important days in his life, do you really feel he would choose someone to make him look bad> There's several reasons for his choice and he'll explain them before or after MS. JHUD does her thing. I'm proud of my black sister...

what does her looks have anything to dow with his choice. I personally think she's a beautiful young lady. what do you look like? Do you have 31 wims out of 36? SING JHUD ===YOUR FANS HAVE YOU GIRL AND SO DOES OUR UPCOMING PRESIDENT....A GREAT CHOICE

One last thing....Aside from the facts of being from Chicago, I feel his choice is ery symbolic....She wasnt born with a silver spoon in her mouth. She was someone that had aspirations and goals and they're coming true. I feel in my opinon as well as some of the other comments are correct in assuming his choice was to show how anything is possible with dedication, hard work and determination. Plus that girl can sing her you know hwat off. Do it Barack and Jennifer
