We'll be bringing you your favourite pop stars singing some of their new and classic hits - LIVE!
We at SCP HQ always like to ensure that our pop stars can actually sing and deserve our praise. Some "artists", who shall remain nameless, are still our pop favourites, however they fall more into the entertainment value category of pop, so may not feature for their singing ability!! Sorry!
We'll also throw in a few pop facts about the artist... just for fun!
Anyway - first up is Jennifer Hudson
Some may find this a weird launching with Jen Hudson, however we've been a fan for a while and listening to her recently released album I Remember Me and a) its a great album and b) this girl can sing!
But lets go back to where it all began for our Jen...American Idol!
Though not winning (or even getting close), she definitely got the judges on side with judge Simon Cowell commenting that Hudson, "finally proved why she was among the 'Top 12,'" and referred to the performance a week later as, "sensational." Here's Jen with her version of Whitney's I Have Nothing

POP FACT: In May 2010, the Los Angeles Times claimed Hudson to be the third greatest Idol contestant in the history of the show. She placed behind Season 1 winner Kelly Clarkson and Season 4 winner Carrie Underwood.
Then came her career breakthrough, when she got one of the leading roles in Dreamgirls with Beyonce, which earned her the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 2007.
Here's the track, we have all heard... And I Am Telling You.
