After the rain comes the pouring of blessings. This seems to be true for Jennifer Hudson who was faced with a personal crisis last year after her mother, brother and nephew were murdered last October. Fresh from her crowd-stirring performance during the opening of the Super Bowl, Jennifer Hudson was again seen during last Sunday’s Grammy Awards where she did not only perform but also bagged her first Grammy. The Oscar-winning actress thanked her family in heaven and those who are with her that day. The triple murders kept the 27-year old Hudson in seclusion for months.
Hudson, who accepted her award from Whitney Houston, also thanked God for bringing her through. She went on to sing the dramatic song “You Pulled Me Through”. Hudson’s moving rendition was one of the most dramatic scenes onstage. However, there was a lot more drama behind the scenes starting from Chris Brown and Rihanna’s absence. Both were scheduled to perform at the Grammy but they were replaced by an able group consisting of Keith Urban, Boyz II Men, Al Green and Justin Timberlake who sang “Let’s Stay Together”.
