Jennifer Hudson deserves an award for her service to soundtrack albums. The diva’s contribution to Dreamgirls is legendary, she recently wowed with Winnie Mandela power ballad “Bleed For Love” and now adds some vocal firepower to the Black Nativity OST.

“Be Grateful” is a gospel standard that begins smoothly — and with a little help from co-stars Forest Whitaker and Jacob Latimore — before is becomes a joyous celebration and the Academy Award winner really lets loose vocal. Get ready to praise Him for creating J-Hud’s vocal chords after the jump.
