Jennifer Hudson didn’t need an Oscar to look the part of a Dreamgirl at the release party for her sophomore album I Remember Me at Tenjune in New York City on Monday (March 21). The svelte songstress celebrated with her Arista Records and Weight Watchers family as Sony Music executive Clive Davis toasted the stunning diva.

J-Hud recently spoke about collaborating with R. Kelly on her lead single “Where You At,” revealing that the Pied Piper plastered his house with photos of her when he was writing the song. “He’s just a genius,” she told USA Today.

“He hit it on the head in so many ways. How did he channel me?”
