Jennifer Hudson sang the American national anthem at the Super Bowl, the biggest sport event in the US watched by millions around the world.

This was the singers first public appearance since the murders of her mother, brother and nephew.

Hudson was clearly overwhelmed, as soon as she got off the stage she asked How did I do?

Her manager replied: Touchdown!

Bruce Springsteen followed the Sex And The City star at half time on stage with a 12 minute performance " and in true Boss style he sang on top of a piano before sliding across the stage belting out classic hits like Born To Run and Glory Days.
