Jennifer Hudson
Also known by her nickname J.Hud, she is an American singer, actress, and philanthropist. Hudson has received numerous accolades throughout her musical and theatrical career, including an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award, and two Grammy Awards.
Usually, when you’re knocked out early on a talent show, your career never really takes off. Thankfully, Jennifer Hudson shone so brilliantly on American Idol that she didn’t have to be the first to be successful. After a role in Dreamgirls and several successful albums, she has nothing to fear, not in her career at least. The singer’s personal life has always been a different story, with a split from her longtime fiance David Otunga, the latest development to cause her pain.
