I am not usually given to the Star Spangled Banner being "performed" at sporting events, but after watching Jennifer Hudson sing it at the Super Bowl tonight I must make an exception. A huge exception - she can sing the pants off of any song she tries, and the emotion and patriotism in her rendition was felt by me all the way from Tampa to Indianapolis. At the end of the song when she looked to the sky and raised her hand in emphasis, the tears just came - I couldn't help it. And a little while ago I watched it again on Youtube, just to make sure...yes, it was brilliant.
