Perhaps a handful of Grammies and an Academy Award could put you at ease?
R&B giants Robin Thicke and Jennifer Hudson are embarking on a national tour, the former a seasoned road veteran with platinum writing and performing credits to his name, the latter a rising star on her first official tour (co-headlining no less).
Thicke stepped out from a successful music writing stint – producing hits for the likes of Marc Anthony, Christina Aguilera and Brandy – releasing the 2002 debut Beautiful World. Last year, he released his third album, Something Else, a taut nod to ’70s soul.
Hudson blazed a trail much less traveled, parlaying a 2004 stint on “American Idol” into an immediately successful film career, winning the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in her first-ever role in the 2006 music flick “Dreamgirls.”
Hudson also won a Grammy Award for Best R&B Album for her 2008 debut album Jennifer Hudson.
Not bad for a Hollywood brat and a reality show loser, huh?
Robin Thicke and Jennifer Hudson, Dodge Theatre, Tuesday, May 5, 6:30 p.m., $35-$75
