Here is the Jennifer Hudson Today Show video. See video, photos here of the May 15, 2009 interview and live performances of the Grammy and Oscar winner and former American Idol, as part of the Today Show Toyota Concert Series. She delivered powerhouse performances of her newest single, ‘If This Isn’t Love,’ along with ‘Spotlight, All are from her self-titled debut album which won a 2009 Grammy Award for Best R&B album.

Additionally, she performed And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going’ from the musical Dreamgirls (for which she won an Oscar in the screen adaptation). It was performed as a duet with an audience member, Melissa Goscinsky, who won a contest and got to sing with Hudson, and who delivered a noteworthy performance alongside the music superstar.

During her interview with Today Show host Matt Lauer, Jennifer Hudson expressed her enthusiasm for her present life of performing on tour with fellow R&B artist Robin Thicke on their co-headlining tour. ‘It’s like a great learning experience,’ she said.

When Matt Lauer asked her about the June 2009 Essence magazine cover story, she was quick to say regarding the cover title ‘Pushing Past the Pain,’ “That’s not me, that’s Essence having their moments. I’d rather work past that.” (For more see: Jennifer Hudson Opens Up About Slain Mother )

Responding to Lauer’s question about how she has coped with the family tragedy, the tragic shooting deaths of her mother, brother and nephew, she said, “God is able. I have to give the credit to God.” She said it was her faith that gets her through. When asked if she felt angry, she said she didn’t and that she is a very forgiving person.

Her fiance David Otunga was present and acknowledged on camera. Jennifer Hudson said they had set a wedding date, but she declined to reveal the date.
