We'll return to our season eight updates shortly, but we interrupt these articles/photos for an uplifting story involving a former American Idol finalist.

Last night, Jennifer Hudson capped an emotional few months with a win at the 2009 Grammy Awards.

The singer - whose mother, brother and nephew were tragically murdered in November - took home the trophy for R&B Album of the Year for her debut album Spotlight.

Congratulation, Jennifer!
