Barack Obama Asks Jennifer Hudson To Sing National Anthem At DNC

Should it come as a surprise that even Barack Obama is a fan of Jennifer Hudson and her powerful voice? The American Idol contestant and Oscar winner, will sing at the Democratic National Convention at the request of Barack Obama.

According to Access Hollywood, they say that Barack Obama has asked the songstress to sing the National Anthem Thursday night in Denver when he formally accepts the party’s nomination.

An appearance at the DNC for Obama is one of the many things keeping Jennifer Hudson busy. She will release her self-titled debut album, “Jennifer Hudson,” on September 30, followed by the release of her new film, “The Secret Life of Bees,” opposite Queen Latifah, Alicia Keys and Dakota Fanning on October 17.
