The Hudson Murders

Jennifer Hudson, American Idol finalist and the Academy Award winner, here during happier times.

Jennifer Hudson's brother-in-law is set to be charged over the murders of the actress' nephew, brother and mother,

Chicago police have said.

William Balfour, estranged from Hudson's older sister Julia, was quizzed on the day relatives of the Oscar-winning star were found dead in their home.

He was sent to a correctional centre for a parole violation, where on Monday he was arrested and transferred to Chicago police custody.

The 27-year-old is the prime suspect in the deaths of his seven-year-old stepson Julian King, Jennifer Hudson's brother Jason and her mother Darnell Donerson.

Balfour, who has convictions for attempted murder, vehicular hijacking and possession of a stolen motor vehicle, is facing three charges of murder.


I think it's really sad that you've such scums of the earth as a relative.

And it's a huge tragedy to have 3 of your dearest killed in cold blood by such a relative.

NO words can describe such pain.

Q...My heart's with you Jenny.

We R Davids.

David Archuleta , David Cook and Syesha Merchado. (Top to bottom respectively; picture sequence I mean)

The two Davids have been at the top of the pack from Day 1.

Consistently good. Consistently the favourites of both the judges and the voters alike.

Fingers point at an eventual ALL-DAVID finale for this seasons's American Idol.

Syesha on the other hand, is a great singer who's given laudable performances and but has never really set the stage on fire and the hearts of voters.

What's miraculous is the fact that she's been in the bottom 2 MORE times than any Idol hopeful in the history of this competition. EVER.

Week after week, she's in the bottom and barely scraping to the next round.

And still, she's come this far to be in the Top 3.


Will Lady Luck still be blessing this beautiful girl with the charming smile and sneek her into the top 2, like how she's been doing so every week?

Or will it indeed be the Battle of the Davids?

One of the most anticipated Idol seasons; like never before!

Watch this space. :)

"So, Paula, what comment would you give?" LOL
