Jennifer Hudson Sings Her Support

Shawn Johnson, the Olympic gymnast who isn't even old enough to vote, and Jennifer Hudson teamed up for a little Pledge of Allegiance/National Anthem action prior to Barack Obama's speech last night. Hudson killed it. The end.

J Hud did kill the anthem! I Youtubed it as soon as I got into work and I've listened to it twice already. So good.

Am I the only one who can't stand to hear the anthem anymore? I get a gag reflex anytime I hear anyone sing that piece of crap poem. Patriotism, Nationalism, Xenophobia, Racism…all shades of the same color.

voice sounded great but her performance lacked the nuance others have brought to the anthem.

Sorry, but I think we celebrate ourselves too much. Also, what's surrounding Obama is not a good vibe, but a very strong hype.

Hey Moonunit, why don't you explain what being tired of hearing the national anthem has to do with whom I vote? Or are you referring to me saying that Obama is all hype and no substance? One of America's many, many problems is the AllOrNothing-/WithUsOrAgainstUs-Mentality, which you beautifully display here. In case you actually care, my vote will go to Cynthia McKinney of the Green Party. There are more choices in the self-proclaimed Land of the Free than just Republican and Democrat. Most people are just poorly informed on politics. That's why so many people buy into the Obama hype and…well Republicans are stupid(or evil) by definition. Have a look at blackagendareport.com
