We wondered what President Obama had on his Ipod a coupla months ago but we left out Jennifer Hudson!!
At his first State Dinner last night here were the musical performers. My invite must have got lost in the mail!!
“Actress-singer Jennifer Hudson, the Chicago native who won an Oscar for “Dreamgirls,” and Indian composer A.R. Rahman, who won two Academy Awards for the score of “Slumdog Millionaire,” were performing. Chicago jazz vocalist Kurt Elling, who lives near the Obamas in Chicago’s Hyde Park, was also in the lineup, with Marvin Hamlisch conducting the National Symphony Orchestra”
