Jennifer Hudson: 'The View' with David Jr!

Jennifer Hudson makes an appearance on The View with her adorable 1-year-old son David Otunga Jr. on Tuesday (March 22) in NYC.

The night before, the 29-year-old singer and actress celebrated the release of her new album, I Remember Me, at Tenjune.

“Ms. Iron Pipes finally sounds like she’s having some fun. Where 2008′s Jennifer Hudson was bogged down with serious, self-assuring ballads, here she aims for a lighter vibe, flexing her newfound confidence on ‘I Got This,’” EW says about the new album.

“All you have to do is hear her appealingly brassy take on the oft-Idol-abused warhorse ‘Feeling Good’ to know Hudson has somehow found a route to happiness,” adds the mag.
