Normally I'd blast whoever leaked this story for even putting it out there in the first place, considering everything that Jennifer Hudson has been through recently, but I decided not to. It's true that she didn't sing live, but it was to help her make the best public appearance for the first time since her family tragedy. Ricky Minor, who produced the show, made the call.
This was such an important performance, because it's the first time everyone has seen Jennifer. But she's in such a great place, with such great spirits, and time can heal her wounds. She's on fire right now and totally grounded. That's the right way to do it. There's too many variables to go live. I would never recommend any artist go live, because the slightest glitch would devastate the performance.
If it was a concert, it was one thing. But I think we should give Jen a little slack, here. Produced or live, she KILLED it, and I think Jamie Foxx's text to her says it best -- "Amazing. Brought tears to my eyes."

Hudson's performance (lip-synched or not) was one of the best parts of the Super Bowl -- second to the ads of course
I was about to say "Amen to that" until you put her second to the ads. The ads the last few years have sucked horribly. There's been one or 2 good ones each other...for the most part, they blow.
