Music Invasion: Jennifer Hudson's "Spotlight"

A few months ago there was a sneak peek of Jennifer Hudson's upcoming album cover and a controversy followed on whether they have photoshopped her picture down to a size that's more pleasing to the general population or at least to the records executive. It reminds me of the Margaret Cho story in which her body was being criticized and she was on all kind of diet, her weight go up and down and her self-confidence get shattered. Hopefully, she's not going through that.

I hung out at the bar Tuesday night and they were playing this latest video from Jennifer and she looks good. Not that I didn't like her before, her personality outweighs her body type. She does look like she slimmed down a lot, but I didn't think it was necessary nor did I felt that Missy Elliot needed to lose weight, but if it makes them feels better than I guess it's ok.

Love her voice, I think after her performance in Dreamgirls, a lot of us gays are anticipating her album. Co-produced by NeYo, you can really hear his beats in this song. Not extremely catchy, but it's still a pretty nice song. Can't wait for the album to come out on September 30.



Are you a man who loves, cherishes and cares for me?
Is that true? Is that true? Is that true?
Are you a guard in a prison, maximum security?
Is that true? Is that true? Is that true?
Do we stay home all the time cuz you want me to yourself?
Is that true? Is that true? Is that true?
Or am I locked away, had a feeling I’d find someone else
Is that true? Is that true? Is that true?

[Chorus]
Well, I don’t like living under your spotlight
Just because you think I might find somebody worthy
Well, I don’t like living under your spotlight
Baby if you treat me right, you won’t have to worry

Is this relationship fulfilling your needs as well as mine
Is that true? Is that true? Is that true?
Or is this just my sentence, am I doing time?
Is that true? Is that true? Is that true?
If this is love, real, real love, then I’m staying no doubt
Is that true? Is that true? Is that true?
But if I’m just your prisoner, then I’m busting out
Is that true? Is that true? Is that true?

(Chorus)

Oh, you oughta be ashamed of yourself
What the hell do you think you’re doing?
Loving me, loving me so wrong.
Baby, all I do is try
To show you that you’re my one and only guy
No matter who may come along
Open your eyes cuz baby I don’t lie

(Chorus x2)
