Jennifer Hudson just can't say enough about her newborn son.      

"He's the cutest thing in the world!" she told People.com of little David Daniel Otunga Jr., born Aug. 10. "There are no words for it. He's the best. It's just amazing – us discovering each other, me becoming a mom."       

The Grammy winner is performing with Julianne Hough in New York's Central Park Tuesday night for "The Wizard of Oz" Netflix concert, where Hudson, 27, paid tribute to the 1939 film's classic songs with a contemporary interpretation of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."       

Hudson says it appears that little David, her first child with fiancé David Otunga, may be following in his mom's footsteps.       

"He seems like he's very interested in music already. The other night he was having a fit screaming, and someone turns on the music and he just stops and calms down. And I was exactly the same way as a baby," said Hudson, who played "Let It Be Me," her collaboration with Rod Stewart, to calm her son. "Sometimes when he cries, I try to harmonize!"       

While Hudson lost her mother amid tragic circumstances last year, "I think she was a great example of being a mother, so when [my son] first got home, I was like, 'Everything I do will be out of love,'" said Hudson. "That's what drives me in the middle of the night when I'm knocked out sleeping and he wakes up."       

With the holidays coming up, Hudson is eager to share them with the newest family addition.

"It's going to be ridiculous. I can't wait," she gushed. "His dad went and bought him some Halloween stuff the other night. I wish he was older so he could remember it, but this is the first one, so I have to go all out. It's going to be great."

I dont understand some of you people. The women is just happy and thats a good thing considering everything that happened to her. Just be happy for her, the baby, and her man! Nobody said anything about doing any community service work for the black community or religion at this point and time that was not the subject. But Im sure she helps in her own way and has her own spiritual beliefs. I believe in marriage too but if no children were every born to single people then YOU wouldn't be here today!! Stick to the subject---you HATERS!

I am happy for Jennifer, baby and fiance but when are we going to look to the moral public figures for an example? Our children need very badlly to know that children out of wedlock is not the way! I thought that Ms. Hudson knew that when she said she was a Christian.

So, it's all right to teach your child--from the cradle--to worship and honor the devil on his day? Read the Scriptures for more insight into parenting.

God Bless her. But one thing I would like to see is black celebrities march for the inner cities/the crimerates. I would like to see black celebrities go to local schools and talk to the kids/ door-to-door about the crime ruining our people. Jennifer experienced that crime personally, which should make her eagerness to speak to the inner city youth greater. If black people dont wake up soon and stop the complaining/celebrity worship, we will be fighting for our right to survive as a race in a hundred years. And when I say fighting, I dont mean with ballots or loudspeakers.
