Early life and the start of a career
Jennifer Kate Hudson was born on September 12, 1981, in Chicago, Illinois. She is the youngest of three children and grew up in the Chicago neighborhood of Englewood. Hudson finished high school at Dunbar Vocational in 1999, and then she went to Langston University to continue her studies. But she left college because she missed her family and signed up at Kennedy-King College.
Hudson started singing in her church choir when she was 7. Her grandmother Julia also helped her get active in community theatre. In 2002, she got her first recording deal with Righteous Records, an independent record company based in Chicago. But in 2004, when "American Idol" offered her the chance to be on the show, she was let out of her five-year deal with Righteous Records.
Jennifer Hudson tried out for the third season of "American Idol" for the first time in Atlanta. She had been singing and acting as one of the Muses from "Hercules" on the Disney Cruise Lines ship "Disney Wonder" before that. She did well in the battle and even got the most votes in the "Top 9" round. However, she was voted off in the "Top 7" round two weeks later. Even though he didn't win, many people think Hudson was one of the best contestants on the show. MTV named her the sixth-best "American Idol" contestant with the most shocking loss of all time in 2009. In 2010, the Los Angeles Times said that Hudson was the third best "American Idol" of all time, after the winners of the first and fourth seasons, Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood, respectively.
Career in Music
Hudson worked on a few projects after she left "American Idol" in 2004. One of them was a duet with Meat Loaf called "The Future Ain't What It Used to Be." In November 2006, she signed a record deal with Arista Records. She worked on a number of songs for her first record with producers Ryan Tedder and Timbaland. In June 2008, she released her first single, "Spotlight." Ne-Yo and Stargate wrote and produced her self-titled debut record, "Jennifer Hudson," which came out in September 2008 on Arista. It started out at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, and most of the reviews were good. The record also won Best R&B Record at the 2009 Grammy Awards. It was also nominated for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance and Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals but didn't win any of those awards.
"I Remember Me," her second studio record, came out in March 2011 and went straight to No. 2 on the Billboard 200. Then, in 2014, she made another record called "JHUD." Hudson signed with Epic Records in June 2016.
Career in Acting and on TV
Hudson started her acting career with the part of Effie White in the movie version of the musical "Dreamgirls" in November 2005. She worked with well-known people like Jamie Foxx, Beyoncé, and Eddie Murphy. She beat out hundreds of skilled singers and actresses, like Fantasia Barrino, to get the part, and her performance was praised by many people. Her version of the song "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" in particular was praised as a great performance. As Effie White, Hudson won 29 awards, including the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role, the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role, and the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. The Broadcast Film Critics Association and the Screen Actors Guild both named her Best Supporting Actress.

Personal Life

On October 24, 2008, Hudson's sister Julia and her parents, Darnell and Jason, were found dead in the Chicago home they shared with Hudson. Julian, Julia's son, and Hudson's nephew, went missing. Three days later, his body was found. William Balfour, who was no longer married to Julia, was charged with three counts of first-degree murder and one count of breaking into a house. In July 2012, he was given three life terms without the chance of parole. This was on top of the 120 years he was already serving for his other crimes. Hudson's family set up the Hudson-King Foundation for Familiars of Slain Victims and the Julian D. King Gift Foundation in memory of her nephew after this terrible event.
Real Estate
In 2011, Jennifer paid $3 million for a house in the Chicago neighborhood of Burr Ridge that had six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and 12,000 square feet. The beautiful house was built in 2007 and has floating stairs, more than one laundry room, a personal movie theatre, and hardwood floors. She bought the house for just under $3 million, which was a big discount from what it was first listed for. With 12,000 square feet of space, she will have plenty of room to add to her already amazing collection of awards.
