Actress and singer Jennifer Hudson has said she is extremely blessed to receive four Grammy nominations for her debut album.
In a statement issued after the Grammy announcement yesterday Hudson said "It's been a childhood dream of mine to release an album, so to receive four Grammy nominations is truly a blessing. I'm extremely honoured and humbled by the nominations."
She was nominated for best R&B album for her self-titled album, best female R&B vocal performance, best R&B song for "Spotlight" and best R&B performance by a duo or group with vocals for her duet with Fantasia, "I'm His Only Woman."
Hudson’s mother Darnell Donerson (57), brother Jason Hudson (29) and nephew seven-year-old Julian King were murdered in October.
