Jennifer Hudson "If This Isn’t Love" American Idol (Video)

Here is the Jennifer Hudson American Idol video. See photos, the If This Isn’t Love Lyrics and video of the Grammy Award and Academy Award winning star and season 3 Idol who made a triumphant return on the Season 8 Top 7 results American Idol April 15, 2009.

The Jennifer Hudson American Idol season 8 performance was recorded the previous month and shown for the first time on what was supposed to be a Season 8 Top 7 results show, but it had a surprise ending. Who was sent home? No one! The judges used the ‘judges save’ to keep Matt Giraud on the show, despite his having received the lowest score from the voting audience.

Not that any of this overshadows the 27-year-old actress and R&B singer-songwriter’s performance of If This Isn’t Love from her self-titled debut album. Jennifer Hudson American Idol never ceases to thrill and amaze with her powerhouse voice. She delighted the audience and viewers as she delivered spine tingling high notes. If This Isn’t Love lyrics and song are by Theron Thomas, Terry Thomas and Brian Kennedy, and produced by Kennedy for the singer’s debut album.

In talking about her return to the show to perform, Jennifer Hudson, expressed her gratitude, excitement and enthusiasm over the success of her debut album, which was released last fall and debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and won the 2009 Grammy for Best R&B Album. She also mentioned her engagement, though not letting us know a wedding date. It is also one of her first performances since the Jennifer Hudson family tragedy of last October which saw the shooting deaths of her mother, brother and nephew.

While the prerecorded Jennifer Hudson sang the touching If This Isn’t Love Lyrics, the singer is elsewhere, in her first headlining tour with fellow R&B singer-songwriter Robin Thicke.
