Jennifer Hudson 1205

On the heels of the news that William Balfour was denied bail, Jennifer Hudson has received even more good news:

Jennifer Hudson, who’s been grieving the deaths of her mother, brother and nephew, offered up thanks and gratitude on Thursday for her four Grammy nominations for her debut album.

“It’s been a childhood dream of mine to release an album, so to receive 4 Grammy nominations is truly a blessing,” Hudson, 27, said. “I’m extremely honored and humbled by the nominations.”

After everything she’s been through, it’s safe to say that Jennifer deserves some good news for a change. Kudos to her on the nominations.

    Our thoughts and prayers have been with Jennifer since the tragic events. It is my sincere hope that through her faith in God and the support of her remaining family, friends, fans and supporters she will find closure. The holiday season is an especially difficult time to deal with the loss of someone so dear to you and her grief is magnified by three. While the grammy nominations and the arrest of the suspect may be good news, it could be bitter-sweet for her. Please continue to keep Jennifer and her sister uplifted in your prayers. They need them now more than ever! God Bless.

    Peace!

    congrats

  • Vee-TGIF!!

    I’m happy for her. She deserves something good after all she’s been through.

  • Dizzy McElroy

    Good for her. I wish Jennifer the best.

  • I GOT IT LIKE THAT

    those are pitty nominations because her album sales were mediocore AT BEST and there hasn’t been any real promotional nothing for her album which was because of her family’s untimely death not saying she should have been promoting at a time like that, but this is why the grammy’s have no real weight to me with the winners and loosers and the awards show itself has fallen off. who even watches it?

  • jazi

    I’m so happy for her..It was worth the wait because the entire album is a hit.

  • darealwifey

    That’s my girl. I hope she is doing okay. Congrats, girl.

  • darealwifey

    @ Igotitlikethat…

    Grammy nominations are not based on sales (it is not a popularity contest). The nominations are based on artistry, musicianship, innovativeness, etc. While her album sales might have been mediocre, JHud is a BEAST vocally, and one would be hard pressed to find many other R&B artists who can challenge her voice. I am glad the Academy is recognizing REAL talent.

    And, by the way, people have never heard of half the people who win Grammy’s anyway. They are constantly honoring obsure artists.

  • Tameka

    Congrats to her. I gotta go pick up the album now from what I am seeing on this post!

  • Lady Architect (Love My Baby So Much!)

    I’m happy for her and she really deserves those nominations because her album is good. I don’t think they are pity nominations at all. People need to understand that the Grammy’s are not solely based on album sales because otherwise ALicia KEys would’ve just taken nearly every R&B and Pop category for her album sales.

  • ohnoudient

    Although I’m not really a fan, her voice is beautiful.

    I thought that was her at an event recently. I was like Jennifer’s back. I pray that her faith can get her thru.

  • Christmas Time aka ATXChick

    by the way Jennifer you look amazing (no homo) you are so blessed in many ways. Just because the devil and i do mean the devil took 3 of your family members. Just remeber that they are in heaven looking down on you smiling along with the lord you serve. They will follow you in spirit for the rest of your life until you meet them upstairs at the door to heaven. they will be there to greet you with warm hugs and kisses… Im so happy about your nominations and im sure im postive you will win something.

    That’s what’s up. She deserves it. Not for a sympathy vote, but because she really CAN sing her ass off. Do the damn thing girl! :)

  • BE

    Good for the Grammy’s for recognizing real talent. JHuds’ album is good and some songs sound very creative. Her voice is amazing….ppplleeaaassee. I mean people are use to hearing non-singers that the real singers never get their props.

  • tgif

    Congrats on the nomination and hopefully she’ll take home at least 2 awards that night. Stay trong Jen.

  • WordtotheWise

    Congrats Jen! Girl, you know we have your back. Her album is the bomb. She deserves it because in my humble opinion, she is one of the very few great singers of today. I hope she gets tons of Grammy’s.

    The album is good, could be better. The BEST is yet to come!!

    Keep ya head up mommas!

  • Pretty Brown Thing

    ps. pretty pic!

    (no homo) lol

  • SAMMY

    i wonder how beyonce is feeling since jennifer will be one award away from what beyonce wants to accomplish.

  • kenya

    she deserves it, i love her voice. very soulful and stirring a breath of fresh air.

  • Dnice

    I wasn’t a fan of the album, but I think she is an amazing singer. Congratulations Jen.

  • Flawdagurl

    She has come so far from her Idol and Burger King days but yet she still seems so humble and always thankful.

  • Flawdagurl

    My condolences to J- Hud and her sister. no matter who did it they both lost the most important people in their life. I will keep you both in my prayers.

    Keep Family 1st! Well actually God but yall know what I mean.

  • Adiamondcenter

    GO JHud…congrats….. but plz know your sister is just so suspect ..I can feel it …..

  • leave-it-be

    >>>>> AHHHH COME ON TO THE COMMENT ABOUT JHUD’S SISTA BEING SUSPECT TOO, I’M SURE JHUD’S A SMART YOUNG LADY AND BELIEVE ME SHE PROBABLY KNOWS ALOT THAT WAS GOING DOWN PRIOR TO THE TRADEGY….. WHATEVER, IF ANYONE CLOSE TO JHUD WAS INVOLVED I’M SURE SHE HAS ROUND THE CLOCK SECURITY AT THIS TIME IN HER LIFE…. IF BALFOUR IS THE ONE WHO KILLED HER FAMILY, I’M SURE JHUD DOESN’T WANT ANY OF JULIA’S FUTURE MEN OR FRIENDS FOR THAT MATTER TO EVEN KNOW WHAT ‘STATE SHE LIVES IN’!!!!!!

  • Luvable

    JHud, I’m rooting for you girl. Oh, don’t let b steal your shine, we want to see you singing at the ignuargaration.

  • Flawdagurl

    Blood is thicker than water and I gurantee you that J-hud has probably been looking out for her sister and comforting her also. Who would want to belive that there sister had something to do with killing her only son brother and mother. Trust me it would’ve came out by now if J-Hud suspected anything? But where was she when this went down?I still dont know! All we can do is have faith that justice wil be served!

  • 1TruDiva w/The PlatinumVocals–”I don’t scratch my head unless it itches. I don’t dance unless I hear music.”

    J-Hud’s album is off the MEATRACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Everyone knows that for an TRUE R&B singer, you can tell the difference between some “singing” and someone “singing away their pain.” There is a song that Jennifer sang at the funeral (I think) Wherever it was, I’m PRAYING they end up recording it because I’m telling you her voice is awesome and her range is just phenominal!!!

    This girl really does have talent!!!!

    @igotitlikethat

    If you hadnt come on here tlkn ill n shyt, wuldnt nobody had sed nothin to u, there seems to always be mfs on here spittin negativity, and u aint no exception. Y she gotta be givin nominations outta pity, as if she has no talent to back it up. N who gives 2 flyin hells if u kno health law n criminal psych…thats not the issue. I could probably GOOGLE the shyt n still outsmart yo ass…jus shut it. Mayb u should try googling what the hell ur tlkn bout sometimes before u say it.

    N by the way, good goin, J, u are very deserving.
