Beyonce "Halo"
Jennifer Hudson "The Impossible Dream"
Last Friday, this year's NAACP Image Awards celebrated the 100-year anniversary of the NAACP as well as the inauguration of President Barack Obama. Beyonce opened the show with a first-ever performance of her new single "Halo," which was quite an incredible showing. She sure blew me away, which is typical for her. Beyonce also picked up the award for Outstanding Female Artist. Jennifer Hudson sang "The Impossible Dream" during a tribute to Muhammad Ali. The Oscar- & Grammy-winner, who sounded great, was also awarded Outstanding New Artist, Outstanding Album, Outstanding Duo, Group, or Collaboration (with Fantasia for "I'm His Only Woman"), &, with her fellow castmates, Outstanding Motion Picture for "The Secret Life Of Bees." (You can see the full list of winners HERE.) Though the night was (somewhat understandably) overloaded with sentimental moments, I found the show leaps & bounds better than the recent Grammys.
