This past weekend, the American Music Awards celebrated their 50th anniversary, and Jennifer Hudson was the star everyone was talking about. Her performance was, as always, powerful and full of soul, but what took the crowd and fans by surprise was her striking new look.
At first, people thought Hudson, who’s known for her amazing vocals and stylish looks, had taken a bold step by completely shaving her head. Her fans couldn’t believe it – some even debated it back and forth on social media, insisting she looked amazing but wondering if she’d really gone “bald.” To settle the rumors, it’s now confirmed that the singer didn’t shave her head. Despite this, many said she’d look stunning with or without hair!
Sunday night’s show was packed with incredible moments. Music legends like Mariah Carey, Nelly, and Nile Rodgers took the stage to perform in honor of the American Music Awards’ half-century of recognizing musical talent.
But one thing that puzzled fans was the absence of current artists being awarded. The reason? It was all about celebrating the legacy of the AMAs – not a standard awards show. The regular AMAs will now be held in March 2025 instead of the typical fall date.
Jennifer’s presence added another layer of excitement to the night. She wore a breathtaking, figure-hugging gown that shimmered under the lights, showing off her confidence and elegance. But it was a short clip of her introducing Mariah Carey to the stage that sent fans into a frenzy – many believed she’d shaved her head entirely!
Social media buzzed with comments. “Not me thinking she went bald although she would look stunning,” one user wrote. Another chimed in, “Same! But she looks good in it. If she ever does, that is.” A third added, “Me too! I thought I was the only one until I saw the ponytail.”
Another fan joked, “What made me believe Miss Hudson was bald? But honestly, I think that would look fantastic.” And a fifth added, “Jen, I thought you went bald for a minute!” Some were relieved, like one commenter who said, “Thank God she didn’t go bald!”
For many fans, this brought back memories of Hudson’s 2015 short haircut. Back then, she’d shared a stunning selfie with her hair pulled back, captioning it, “Who needs hair when you’re serving face!” It was a reminder of her confidence and natural beauty.
But what truly left the audience in awe was her moving performance of Whitney Houston’s classic, “I Will Always Love You,” from The Bodyguard. Jennifer’s voice filled the room with emotion, paying tribute to Houston’s legendary influence. Before her performance, she was asked about her connection to Whitney. Hudson replied, “What is my connection to Whitney Houston?
The gospel, you know, the presence, it’s a gift, in my opinion. I was just struck by it at a young age. I doubt that there was ever a moment when I was unaware of Whitney.”
It was a night to remember – and Jennifer Hudson’s presence made it unforgettable. What did you think of her look and performance? Let us know in the comments!
