Jennifer Hudson mum on family murders on 'Oprah'
Jennifer Hudson wants everyone to know she's doing "good."
But she doesn't talk with Oprah Winfrey today about the shooting murders of her mother, brother and nephew, the case against William Balfour or how she dealt with the sudden deaths.
On Friday's live episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show," the singer simply tells fans that she's happy to return to performing, and that singing at big events such as the Super Bowl is "like therapy" for her.
"[I'm] in a very good place," the Oscar- and Grammy-winner, 27, told Winfrey, according to People.
Oprah asked about Grammy night, and Hudson said that the highlight was being handed her award by Whitney Houston, something that "almost surpassed" winning the award for best R&B album.
The former "American Idol" contestant sang her new single, "If This Isn't Love," for Oprah's audience, but again, avoided talking about the murders of her mother, brother and 7-year-old nephew.
Presumably, this is because a) it's too painful and always will be and b) she's not supposed to discuss the murder case against William Balfour that has not yet come to trial.
Hopefully, she talks about her engagement and impending wedding to reality-TV contestant David Ortunga.
Can you say, "TiVo time"?

well she will probably NEVER really open up about it.. because it's still 2 painful for her.. but that's cool.. I'm just happy she has a smile on her face and is doing what she loves to do .. The Music Biz wouldn't be the same without her...
I thought that it was strange that Jennifer didn't mention the murders-she's a sweet girl -I wish her the best-
Honey, there is nothing strange about Jennifer Hudson not talking about her family loss. Have you ever indured that much pain before in your life. Jennifer Hudson is a super star, and she is a public figuare. She has made it up in her mind not to speak about it . We have to respect her decision, and just support her in everyway we can if you really have love for Jhud. After all It is her family life not ours.
