Barack Obama Asks Jennifer Hudson to Sing the National Anthem

Jennifer Hudson will be performing the National Anthem at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, CO.

Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic nominee, asked her to sing the Anthem on Thursday night, before he formally accepts the party’s nomination.

Besides singing for would-be presidents, Jennifer’s got a lot going on right now. Her debut album, Jennifer Hudson drops on September 30, and her new film “The Secret Life of Bees” opposite Queen Latifah, Alicia Keys and Dakota Fanning opens in theaters October 17.

Bonus: Jennifer performs her single “Spotlight” on BET’s 106 and Park.
