Jennifer Hudson will not sing at inauguration
Posted by Media Outrage on January 5, 2009
Jennifer Hudson’s rep has come out and denied the rumors that she will sing at Barack Obama’s Inauguration. Her rep says “There is no truth to this.” Jennifer will still make her first public appearance next month (Feb 9th) when she pays tribute to Neil Diamond during the MusiCares Person of the Year event in Los Angeles on the eve of the Grammy Awards.

First they say beyonce is performing, then it’s jayz performing, then i hear rhianna is performing then i read jennifer is performing. I don’t think anyone knows who is performing until inauguration day… When you all find out I am performing! stripper pole and all….
Cut Up are you in the states yet? If so glad to have you home.

Wait. She’s going to sing at a tribute for freaking Neil Diamond but not the first black president of the united states of American. Sorry but she just lost major cool points with me, and yes I know she’s still in mourning but who gives a shyt about Neil Diamond. I bet he hates black people.

Becky exhale–it’s alright… Obama can’t have every black performer
at his inauguration or it’ll never end…Besides, she may have had this
Neil Diamond thing on lock a while back–no need to take cool points
from the lady. Also, she’s probably still in mourning over her losses.
It’s not like it was a distance cousin or something-it was her mother, brother and lil nephew. These were some of the closest people to her. And to
your comment about the man hating blacks– do you think he would’ve had
anyone of color perform at his tribute no matter how infamous they were???

Oh well….I guess Beyonce is loving the fact the Jenn won’t be getting this SPOTLIGHT!
I heard she was supposed to be singing at the Inauguration. I would rather Jenn than Bey anyday for this special occasion. If Bey did the inauguration, she would probably break out into the SINGLE LADIES DANCE with some gay backup dancers. Will somebody please tell Bey to PUT A MUZZLE ON IT! Seriously!!!!
