1. She did a great job, nice to see her after the lost of her mother/brother/nephew

2. MTV.com has a clip of the video

along with a story that she and Faith Hill lip-synched at the (American Idol) producer's request:

Minor explained that he insisted that both Hudson and Faith Hill, who performed "America the Beautiful" before Hudson, sing to the prerecorded tracks the NFL requires them to submit a week before the game.

"That's the right way to do it," Minor said. "There's too many variables to go live. I would never recommend any artist go live, because the slightest glitch would devastate the performance."

Well, then let's REALLY play it safe -- play the pre-recorded track, and leave the singer at home! I would have refused myself.

3. Now THIS is a voice...

There are some so-called "singers" (whose names I won't mention) who, for reasons that escape me, are popular.

Jennifer Hudson belted out the National Anthem. I had chills.

It was truly one of the best I've ever heard.

4. This was one of the best renditions I've heard in a long time.
