J. Hud Album Due This Sept.

"How the hell does Jennifer Hudson win Best New Artist and she doesn't even have an album out?"--I remember thinking this same exact question, a few months back, when Jennifer Hudson surprised many and took home the award at this past year's BET Awards; but this September, I guess this win will finally be validated.

Although it took quite some time, "Ms. Dreamgirls" herself is set to release her currently untitled debut this fall and expectations could not be any higher. Me personally, I don't expect much from it but I'm interested to see if Hudson will live up to all the hype. There's no question that she's superbly talented when it comes to her voice but whether or not she can deliver a solid album is the question. Besides, as some of you may know, Hudson had completed half of her debut project already only to have the entire thing scrapped. I'm not exactly sure why, or can't really recall the reason at the moment, but it just goes to show how much pressure is riding on this album to be a success. Forget about all the accolades, awards, etc, J. Hud's career will be defined by this debut. And if we're expected to love her, as she's boldly stated in song, then I suggest this girl quit dreaming about "Sex and the City" and focus more on music.
