Jennifer Hudson is a Diva
Jennifer Hudson came in the industry a class act. She have always maintain being as humble and grounded as you can be. Even to this day she don't even act like a super star. To me Jennifer Hudson came a long at the right time frame. When the industry needed someone of her standards. The same back when Mary J came in the industry. All except for Jennifer she made history right out the box. So, for the people saying Jennifer is a diva now. Well, no Jennifer Hudson came in the industry as one of the DIVAS. I am going out on a limb hear, and I know it will not break. Jennifer Hudson aka (Jhud) has problemly the best voice in the industry right now of her youth. Her voice is simply a power house.
