Jennifer Hudson Makes History Again: Vogue Magazine

Thanks to concreteloop.com, I obtained the recent photos of the J-Hud cover for Vogue.


I did not realize that Jennifer Hudson will be the first African American singer to grace the cover of Vogue magazine. Beverly Johnson, Shari Belafonte, Oprah Winfrey, Liya Kebede and Halle Berry are some of the few that have graced the cover of the fashion bible, Vogue. I congratulate Jennifer for all of her success. Annie Leibovitz is an extraordinary photographer, but she did no justice with the photographs for Jennifer. The second photo was taken at the Apollo Theatre in Harlem. I like the idea, but the pose is awkward and uncomfortable, it looks very unnatural. The cover is nothing special compared to the work that Leibovitz is known for. But with all that said, at least she got the cover. B must be sick right now!
