Jennifer Hudson was asked by Senator Barack Obama to sing the National Anthem ("The Star-Stangled Banner") at tomorrow's Democratic National Convention. Barack and JHud both hailed from Chicago so this is one performance to check out. Speaking of performance, peep the following clip of Jennifer on BET's "106 & Park" performing her lead single, "Spotlight." WOW...




In related news, Jennifer posed for ATL-based celebrity photographer Derek Blanks in these new sophisticated portraits. (Thanks Thick Misses!)

From one classy lady to the next, check out what Michelle O wore at yesterday's DNC here.
