Oscar® winning R&B singer Jennifer Hudson set the mood in her first ever holiday music special. Fellow Chicagoan, Oprah Winfrey hosted the "I'll Be Home for Christmas" special which featured Hudson traveling back home to the windy city and giving America an intimate tour into her post celebrity life. Musical selections include "Silent Night", "The Christmas Song", as well as duets with Grammy Award® winner Michael Bublé. As usual her voice was soulful, bold & beautiful. Oprah, did not miss a beat either with the all tinsel, citylights, and panoramic shots of Chicago. Jennifer Hudson personifies strong, black women everywhere; and yes, we simply adore her for that!
Still, Hudson's well-known genuiness, humility and inner strength (especially, in light of her recent family tradegy) punctuated the undertone of the show. Simply, reminding us all of the importance of family, to count our blessings, and never loose ourselves by forgetting who we are and where we came from. "I'll Be Home for Christmas" made for a heartwarming and soulful holiday special.
