Before I even left town for Long Beach Gay Pride, a friend of mine who works at the MAC make-up counter was lucky enough to get to apply Jennifer Hudson's make-up for her last week and nearly lost his ever-loving mind. That was the precursor to getting to see her perform this past Sunday to see her perform during the festivities.
Unfortunately Jennifer's album isn't out yet, so she mainly sang song from "Dreamgirls." She even joked that she'll come back when she has actually has songs of her own to sing for the gays. It basically ended up feeling like I was attending an Effie White concert. And even when she was done singing all the songs from the film, she brought a couple of people from the audience up to sing with her, since she had time to kill. Nevertheless, she still blew us all away. If she can draw a crowd like that without even having an album, she may become my new diva. I'm just kidding Beyonce. You're still my girl.
