Actor and soul singer Jennifer Hudson made her CMA Awards debut on Wednesday evening (Nov. 10), stepping onto the country awards show stage for a show-stopping (literally) tribute to Aretha Franklin.

Chris Stapleton joined the star of the Aretha Franklin biopic Respect on guitar and vocals.

Hudson blew the entire crowd away with her pitch-perfect rendition of Franklin’s “Night Life,” followed by a raucous duet of “You Are My Sunshine” with Stapleton. Everyone in the crowd was on their feet, visibly moved by Hudson’s performance. And though the telecast cut them off early to go to commercial, there’s no doubt the crowd stayed on their feet long after the final note.

Joined by a dozen world class musicians on stage, Hudson and Stapleton matched each other’s intensity and delivered a truly memorable CMA moment. Trisha Yearwood introduced the pair, noting the inseparable connection between soul and country music and remarking that Hudson was there “to honor Aretha’s contribution to country” with a song Franklin recorded half a century ago.

Note from Zennie62Media and OaklandNewsNow.com : this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a YouTube channel. When the video is “liked” by Zennie62 YouTube, then it is automatically uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective here, on top of our is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours – is the use of the existing YouTube social graph on any subject in the World. Now, news is reported with a smartphone and also by promoting current content on YouTube: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, or having a camera crew to shoot what is already on YouTube. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
