Jennifer Hudson, you just gave me the chill bumps! I always thought you would be okay to play this part but young lady - just from this trailer clip - as an actress and singer - you're quite stunning! Jennifer Hudson. I was quite sure that 'Dream Girls' was the best you could do. You are one of these artists that comes out of the blue with a stunning performance (thanks!) - at least this time. Now, I await your next project. Sincerely, Leon.
