Idols

"Idol" star Jennifer Hudson payed exquisite tribute to Whitney, last night, during a Grammy Awards show that was tinged by sadness. With very little notice to get herself together emotionally so as to rehearse, Ms. Hudson managed to humble the crowd of greats. She herself left the stage quickly, and from what is reported this morning, then cried her own tears of loss. 
No better tribute could have been sung.

As for the show, it was fun to be kept apprised of what "new" is blending with "old" in the world of song. Country stars are certainly here, as our oldies, Sir Paul and The Boss, still rule. One thing is clear: I need to buy some Adele music.
