Today’s Men’s College Basketball Championship game marking the end of the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament will boast a new version of its traditional tune “One Shining Moment”—this time sung by newly-svelte Weight Watchers spokesdiva Jennifer Hudson. For the previous six years, Luther Vandross’ recording of the David Barrett-penned song was used, and before him it was Teddy Pendergrass‘ version. Hop below to hear Hudson take on the inspirational basketball jam.

A digital single for J-Hud’s version of “One Shining Moment” was added to the iTunes store today. The new rendition will air this evening on CBS’ broadcast of the National Championship game, when the Butler Blue Dogs take on the Duke Blue Devils at Indianapolis’ Lucas Oil Stadium.
