Somewhere.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE (English) Clive Davis/Music executive, on Aretha Franklin's health:\u003cbr/\u003e\"But I want to add on the subject of Aretha. Yes the Grammy's are attributing her and yes Jennifer is singing a song but that's because she's the greatest singer you know rightfully in Rolling Stones' poll Number 1. I just got a call Friday, from Aretha. She knows about the Grammy party, she's attended so many of them she sounded great, her voice was absolutely natural and normal and we are planning a dinner just hen the snow thaws  in New York at the first sign of spring. So Aretha was definitely Aretha and I want word to be said sounded vital and strong.\"\u003cbr/\u003e5. Musician Jennifer Hudson with makeup artist on stage\u003cbr/\u003e6. SOUNDBITE  (English) Jennifer Hudson/Musician, on listening to Aretha Franklin growing up:\u003cbr/\u003e\"You know, Aretha for me has always been around. Like, she's just this huge deal in my family as a whole and I come from a background of a lot of singing relatives and Aretha is that. So for me to be here and singing an Aretha song, and then on the Grammy's tomorrow where we will tribute her as well, it's a place we've dreamt of getting to and something I've always wanted to do.

Any time I approach a cover or someone else's song, I say, 'Ok, how can I make this my own?' I call it Jenniferizing it, I can I Jenniferize it? And put my spin on it. Because Aretha is great at being Aretha, and Whitney (Huston) is great at being Whitney. Ok, lets see what Jennifer is great at. Let's be Jennifer. And so I do it my way.''\u003cbr/\u003e9. SOUNDBITE  (English) Clive Davis/Music executive, on what people can expect from his pre-Grammy party on Saturday:\u003cbr/\u003e\"Well firstly, you plan, you have to plan, you have to plan and put it together because we're celebrating music. It's not just getting people together from every nominee, both for records, Academy Award nominees, sports stars, but their passion is music. So they've come back each year because they seen people on stage they never otherwise would see them perform together. Whether it was Alicia Keys when she first began, on the same stage doing a duet with Aretha Franklin. Then it was Whitney (Houston) doing a duet with Carlos Santana or Lou Reed and Rod Stewart or Jennifer Hudson with Barry Manilow, just a few, two years ago. They've seen musicians and artists together they would never otherwise see. So the demand for this party will exceed the capacity of 950 people in the room. But this year I think we're showcasing brand new talent that's special as well as established major stars who are special and a few that some have not seen for a number of years. So I think we've got a great show planned.''  \u003cbr/\u003e10. SOUNDBITE  (English) Jennifer Hudson/Musician, on how her physical and emotional changes has affected her new album:\u003cbr/\u003e\"Well it's a new beginning. It's a new me. In so many different ways, like I always say I feel like I've led over four different lives in just 29 years. And nothing is the same today as it was 10 years ago. So I have to find certain things like my voice, or my hands and my feet to say, OK.. Or this scar on my hands to say that's me and that's who I am. And that's why my album is called \"I Remember Me.\" And so it's like a new introduction to me.''\u003cbr/\u003e11. Musician Jennifer Hudson performing new single \"Where You At\"\u003cbr/\u003e12.

And I just want to introduce it to everyone and count how many time as day you say it, 'Where you at?'''\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE (English) Clive Davis/Music executive: \u003cbr/\u003e''That will be an expression, 'Where you at?'

I guess that's all I have to say about that.''\u003cbr/\u003eThe estranged husband of Jennifer Hudson's sister, Julia, is charged with first-degree murder in the killings.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Where You At\" is the first single from Hudson's second album, \"I Remember Me,\" released 22 March.\u003cbr/\u003eSince her debut album came out in 2008, the pop star has also had a baby son, born in August 2009 - and lost 80 pounds (36 kilograms) by resolving to get in shape after childbirth.  \u003cbr/\u003eAll in all, the album is a milestone for the star.\u003cbr/\u003e\"It's a new beginning,\" explains Hudson. \u003cbr/\u003e\"It's a new me.
