Jennifer Hudson in Australia

anyone that knows me knows that i LOVE Jennifer Hudson not only for her vocal talent but also because she's a SouthSider and comes from a neighborhood, Englewood, not too far (1 1/2 miles) from mine in Chicago. check her on the popular Australian chat show - the 7pm project and singing + Q&A in her hotel room in Sydney.
