By now, you've probably either read about or seen Jennifer Hudson's amazing rendition of the the National Anthem before Sunday night's Super Bowl.In her first public performance since her mother mother, brother, and nephew were murdered in October, Hudson delivered a stunning version of the anthem.
But after the game, the show's producer, "American Idol" music director Ricky Minor, told The Associated Press that, at his request, Hudson lip-synched the anthem to a previously recorded track.
"This was such an important performance, because it's the first time everyone has seen Jennifer. But she's in such a great place, with such great spirits, and time can heal her wounds. She's on fire right now and totally grounded," said Minor.
Minor explained that he insisted that both Hudson Faith Hill, who performed "America the Beautiful" before Hudson, sing to the prerecorded tracks the NFL requires them to submit a week before the game.
"That's the right way to do it," Minor said. "There's too many variables to go live. I would never recommend any artist go live, because the slightest glitch would devastate the performance."
Hudson, 27, who has yet to discuss her family tragedy in public, will next appear at the Grammy Awards on February 8.
