'Jennifer Hudson Tickets'

'

Singer and actress Jennifer Kate Hudson rose to stardom after landing a spot in the final seven on the third season of

American Idol

in 2004. Hudson's career turned to include acting after her debut performance in the movie

Dreamgirls

in 2006, and she later won an Academy Award for her role as Effie White. Hudson's acting career didn't take a back seat to her music because in 2008 she signed with Artista Records to release a self-titled album that sold more than 1 million copies worldwide; it became Certified Gold in the US and earned her a Grammy Award for Best R&B Album. Some of Hudson's most memorable performances include her rendition of the national anthem at Superbowl XLIII and her appearance with Barack Obama at the White House in 2009.

Jennifer Hudson was born to Darnell Donerson and Samuel Simpson in September 1981, in Chicago, Ill. She was the youngest of three children. She started singing in the church choir at age seven and performed in community theater with the guidance of her maternal grandmother, Julia. Upon graduating from high school in '99, she left home to attend Langston University in Oklahoma. After a case of homesickness, she dropped out and continued her post-secondary schooling closer to home at Kennedy-King College. She signed her first recording contract in June 2002 with Righteous Records, an independent label based in Chicago. The label released her from her five-year contract in 2004 so that she could try out for the popular

American Idol

contest. She introduced herself to the judges as a singer on Disney Cruise Lines, to which Randy Jackson replied, We're expecting more than a cruise ship performance from you. Hudson didn't disappoint the judges even though viewer voting indicated that she didn't make it past the final seven. MTV claimed her exit was the most shocking of all time and listed her as one of the six greatest

American Idol

contestants in 2009. However, she did win her role as Effie in Dreamgirls over hundreds of singers and actresses, including Fantasia Barrino who won

American Idol

in the same season Hudson tried out for the title. Her performance in

Dreamgirls

won Hudson 29 awards, including Best Supporting Actress, Breakthrough Performer of 2006, the Golden Globe Award as Best Actress in a Supporting Role and Best Supporting Actress by the Broadcast Film Critics Association. In addition, she got the Screen Actors Guild award. Hudson then starred in the films

Sex and the City

and

the Secret Life of Bees
