No wonder Jennifer Hudson won an Academy Award. She was awesome. Somehow, I can hear LaKisha doing music like this. She has the chops. I don't think she would sell well with a CD, but, believe she would be dynamite on Broadway, or in a movie musical. I just watched “DreamGirls” on DVD. No wonder Jennifer Hudson won an Academy Award.
