Today, turning on my computer I imagined I would see articles and commentary on the plays of the game, or whether or not the referees were fair. However, I didn't imagine that I would find criticism of Jennifer Hudson lip-syncing the National Anthem. I was surprised to find that shows producer Ricky Minor was the one who actually made her pre-record the song. This was Hudson's first public appearance since the tragic deaths of her mother, brother, and nephew in October. With this in mind, and the fact that she was performing for the most watched television program of the year-who wouldn't be nervous?
I'm not going to sit here and argue my point on the fact that it doesn't really matter if it was pre-recorded or not, that it still sounded good, but what I can't help but wonder is why anyone cares?
After the Janet Jackson scandal the media went nuts, very understandable. Something went wrong and it was questionable whether the celebrities intended to hurt the audience or just gain publicity. I admit I was completely interested in hearing about the controversies on the wardrobe malfunction.
I can't help but think about how wrapped up our entire society is getting on criticising and putting down people and situations for no reason. What will it take for us to be satisfied? We're filled with enough drama in daily life, and them jammed pack with celebrity gossip and talk of controversy. What's wrong with just the truth anymore?
I know this topic is a little much to get into, but for now, I for one plan on just enjoying Jennifer Hudson's version of the National Anthem. Whether she pre-recorded it or not, at least she kept it rated G, and that's more than Jackson can say. I for one, am satisfied in supported Hudson for getting herself back out there, and wish other would feel the same way. The Steelers might have beat the Cardinals, but it looks like critiques have one up on Hudson for today.
