Jennifer Kate Hudson (born September 12, 1981) is an American recording artist, actress and spokesperson. She came to prominence in 2004 as one of the finalists on the third season of American Idol, coming in seventh place. She made her film debut in the 2006 film Dreamgirls, which won her an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, a Golden Globe Award, a BAFTA Award, an NAACP Image Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award.
She won a Grammy Award for her eponymous debut album, Jennifer Hudson, which was released in 2008 on Arista Records and was certified gold by the RIAA for selling over 800,000 copies in the US; sales exceeded 1 million copies worldwide. Additionally, it spawned the hit single Spotlight. Her second album, I Remember Me, was released in March 2011, and reached number two on the Billboard 200, selling 165,000 copies in its first week of release. The album was certified gold by the RIAA, for shipping over 500,000 copies in the US.
In late 2008, after Hudson's mother, brother and nephew were killed in a shooting, Hudson stepped out of the limelight for three months. Hudson resumed her public appearances in 2009, and has since performed at the Super Bowl XLIII, the Grammy Awards, American Idol, and The Oprah Winfrey Show. Hudson has been described as a friend of President Barack Obama, who invited her to appear with him at a fundraiser in Beverly Hills in May 2009. She also performed at the White House at the "Celebration of Music from the Civil Rights Movement" event. Her vocal range is mezzo-soprano. Hudson has sold 1,280,000 albums and 2,237,000 tracks in the United States as of February 2012.

Taylor Alison Swift (born December 13, 1989) is an American singer-songwriter and occasional actress. Raised in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, Swift moved to Nashville, Tennessee at the age of fourteen to pursue a career in country music. She signed to the independent label Big Machine Records and became the youngest songwriter ever hired by the Sony/ATV Music publishing house. The release of Swift's self-titled debut album in 2006 established her as a country music star. "Our Song", her third single, made her the youngest sole writer and singer of a number one song on the country chart. She received a Best New Artist nomination at the 50th Grammy Awards.
Swift's second album, Fearless, was released in late 2008. Buoyed by the chart success of the singles "Love Story" and "You Belong with Me", Fearless attracted a crossover audience and became the top-selling album of 2009. The record won four Grammy Awards, with Swift becoming the youngest ever Album of the Year winner. Fearless also received Album of the Year plaudits at the American Music Awards, Academy of Country Music Awards and Country Music Association Awards, making it the most awarded album in country music history. In 2010, Swift released her third album, Speak Now, which sold over one million copies in its first week. She then embarked on the 111-date Speak Now World Tour, which was attended by over 1.6 million fans and has become one of the highest-grossing concert tours of all time. The album's third single, "Mean", won two Grammy Awards for Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance. Swift is currently recording her fourth studio album, due for release in the fall of 2012.

You've been hiding in the dark of your heart for way too long
You've been waiting for a light, for a sign to come along
You've been running after stars but don't forget who you are
Maybe you're the star we should all being chasing, tonight's the night
Standing in the spotlight, this is your time, don't let 'em down
Standing in the spotlight, don't get blinded from the roar of the crowd
One night only, you better get going, this is your time
Get up in the spotlight, yeah, yeah, yeah, spotlight, yeah
In the running and gunning I hope you get your fill
You can stumble in a second, don't forget that midnight kills
It's a black hole lullaby but it's a hell of a ride
Maybe everything you ever had in you comes out tonight
Standing in the spotlight, this is your time, don't let 'em down
Standing in the spotlight, don't get blinded from the roar of the crowd
One night only, you better get going, this is your time
Get up in the spotlight, tonight's the night, spotlight, yeah
You've been hiding in the dark of your heart for way too long
Get up in the spotlight, this is your time, don't let 'em down

Get up in the spotlight, get up in the spotlight, yeah
Spotlight, don't get blinded from the roar of the, roar of the crowd
Spotlight, yeah, from the roar of the crowd
Spotlight, don't let 'em, don't let 'em down
Big time, bright lights
The world is looking for someone to show them the daylight
But it's not me I am not the one
For simple love look to the Son
Spotlight, get me out of this spotlight
It looked okay but somehow it doesn't feel right
A lifelong dream now reality
I never thought that it could happen to me
Big time, high life
Shattered hopes and disillusioned insight
He can give it to you and He can take it away
Just as sure as the morning is the start of the day
Sometimes in your life
The world is going to put you under the spotlight
It's easy to follow, not hard to pursue

[Hook]
Picture me, on stages final act
Wish I could save the best for las
Picture this, the curtain begins to fall
But not before blunt objects are thrown at me
Hold me down no more
Hold me down no more
Picture me, in the spotlight all by myself
My visions obscured by the bright lights above me
Picture this, I stumble until I fall
I leave it to you to rain on my parade
Hold me down no more
Hold me down no more
And I see you
One with the audience,
Making it obvious
This isn't where I belong
And I know that the show must go on
so I swallow my pride
and wait for this curtain to fall
To fall, oh
To fall, oh
Hold me down no more
Hold me down no more
And I see you
One with the audience
Making it obvious
This isn't where I belong, no
And I know that the show must go on
So I swallow my pride
And wait for this curtain to fall
And I see you
One with the audience
Making it obvious
Know yourself
Better than your favorite book on that shelf
Cause you are more than what you seem to be
You can be
Stronger than the biggest ship out at sea
But you'll move on and sail through me
I believe
Goodnight step into the spotlight
Overcoming stage fright
And my fear
Bad dream cover of a magazine
Idol to a million teens
Perfect life
But we can't part
Cause you have put an arrow straight through my heart
I'm a basket case with a shopping cart
Incomplete
But it's too late my brother
For I've been watching you
It's too late to discover
Your life is almost through
Goodnight step into the spotlight
Overcoming stage fright
And my fear
Bad dream cover of magazine
Idol to a million teens
Perfect life
But we can't part
Cause you have put an arrow straight through my heart
I'm a basket case with a shopping cart
Ahh, aah, ahh, aah
You got a whole lot left to say now
You knocked all your wind out
You just tried too hard and you froze
I know, I know
What do you say?
What do you say?
Just take the fall, you're one of us
The spotlight is on
Ahh, aah, ahh, aah
Oh the spotlight is on
Ahh, aah, ahh, aah
You know the one thing you're fighting to hold
Will be the one thing you've got to let go
And when you feel the wall cannot be burned
You're gonna die to try what can't be done
Gonna stay stay out but you don't care
Now is there nothing like the inside of you anywhere
Oh, just take the fall, you're one of us
The spotlight is on
Ahh, aah, ahh, aah
Oh the spotlight is on
Ahh, aah, ahh, aah
Yeah, it's on
Because everyone would rather watch you fall
(All and each other)
And we all are, yeah
(All and each other)
And we all are, yeah
(All and each other)
Just take a fall, you're one of us
The spotlight is on

Now you're one of us
Oh, the spotlight is on
He was a first class star with memories of fame
In mind he never left the game
He'd been around the world and people knew his trade
In mind his light will never fade
Spotlight, spotlight here I am
Hard to stay in focus
Spotlight, spotlight here I am
Hard to stay in focus
Now is a different time with people moving on
Forgetting his once famous song
He made a great carreer success was crystal clear
With failure as the greatest fear
Spotlight, spotlight here I am
Hard to stay in focus
Spotlight, spotlight here I am
You're the one they want
So give them what they need
A temporary touch
Feeling so ashamed
Don't wanna take the blame
Thinking it's too much
So now you've had a taste
Of what it's like to be
Sitting in the spotlight
Or would you rather be
In someone else's shoes
Not knowing who you are
But it's not the end of the world quite yet
And all of these things will get better, I bet
Who do you believe
Now that you're in the spotlight?
What do you choose to do?
You come in through the side door
People always want more
What are you gonna do?
Cuz you're the one they want
So keep them on their knees
Keep them asking, "Please, please, please"
They're eating from your hands
So make them understand
What it is to bleed
So now you've had a taste
Of what it's like to be
Sitting in the spotlight
Or would you rather be
In someone else's shoes
Not knowing who you are
But it's not the end of the world quite yet
And all of these things will get better, I bet
Who do you believe
Now that you're in the spotlight?

I was young
You were having fun
Everything you said
It made me gone,
It made me gone,
It made me think
I would never be
Now do you see, I say
Please don't start the drama
When I'm out in the public
Please don't be spreading
All the lies and the rumors about me
What ever I did in the past
Just let it be the past,
Cause I'm really only looking forward now,
To the future, the future
(Chorud)
Here me on the radio
See me on the TV Show
Now you acting like you know me
Why is it that years ago
Disrespect me, you doing what you do
And now that I'll be in the
Spotlight, suddenly we so tigh
I was young
You were having fun
You try to put me down if you could
To bring me down if you could
And now your jealous of me
You start the drama with me
Please don't start the drama
When I'm out in the public
Please don't be spreading
All the lies and the rumors about me
What ever I did in the past
Just let it be the past,
And who I f*ck in bed,
It is my buisness, my buisness
(Chorus)
Here me on the radio
See me on the TV Show

Why is it that years ago
Disrespect me, you doing what you do
And now that I'll be in the
Every word's a new regret if you say it right, right
Every wound can be forgotten in the right light
Oh nostalgia, I don't need you anymore
Cause the Saturdays are over and the beat is at my door
Cause they might try to tell you how you can live your life
But don't, don't forget it's your right, to do whatever you like, you like
Cause you could be your own spotlight, e-o, e-o
You could be your own spotlight, e-o, e-o
You could be your own spotlight, you could be the star, you can shine so bright, e-o, e-o,
You could be your own, cause they're gonna tell you all the rules to break
To take away that light, somebody, somebody now
You could be your own spotlight, e-o, e-o
You could be your own spotlight.
Depression is a little bit like happy hour, right
It's always gotta be happening somewhere on any given night
Oh nostalgia I don't need you anymore
I just hope my perfect stranger that my kids look more like yours
Cause they might, they might, try to tell you how you can live your life
But don't, don't forget it's your right to do whatever you like, you like
Cause you could be your own spot light, e-o, e-o
You could be your own spotlight, e-o, e-o
You could be your own spotlight, you could be the star, you can shine so bright, e-o, e-o,
You could be your own, cause they're gonna tell you all the rules to break
To take away that light, somebody, somebody now
You could be your own spotlight, e-o, e-o
You could be your own spotlight, e-o, e-o
You could be your own, cause I had a little bit of bad luck
Oh, when will this crumbling world stop
Little sweetness keeps just out of reach
Cause compassion is something that they just don't, just don't teach, teach
Cause you could be your own spot light, e-o, e-o
You could be your own spotlight, e-o, e-o
You could be your own spotlight, you could be the star, you can shine so bright, e-o, e-o,
You could be your own, cause they're gonna tell you all the rules to break
To take away that light, somebody, somebody now
You could be your own spotlight, e-o, e-o

In juke box radio tunes
Coming to a store near you

Never gonna let you out
Make sure you know your way in a crowd
When freedom only costs as much as you can buy
They'll sell you whole life in pieces, rest till you die
So buy a life and sell a teen prophecy
Glam horror mock silver-screen guillotine
Put the whole family on trial tonight
Turn the television off and turn on the lights
With me...
We're gonna pull you in
Never gonna let you out
Make sure you know your way in a crowd
When freedom only costs as much as you can buy
They'll sell you whole life in pieces, rest till you die

K-Nuff verse:
This time I'll keep it simple,
Figured I'd do you a favor
No blemishes or pimples,
I am proactive with flavor
It doesn't matter if you’re grown or you are a teenager
This here is meant to hit you harder than Ali did
Frazier
The darkest night is hopeful when it seems
I slept and woke up in a dream
I feel like a celebrity in this here moment
Now when I stand they notice every kink, sponges I'll
soak up everything
Leaches won't leave you anything but broke and lonely
The lights and cameras on me flickering
Ultra bright reds
Feel like they’re seeing my darkest secrets and my
white heads
Yeah that's sort of nasty, but if you just focus you
can see
An open book, I'm full of war like them novels from
Clancy
Some might call me panzee, some look to harm me in
alleys
Others got armies and ammunition they’re targeting at
Whether you hate me or fancy, love to debate or attack
I am still standing here gladly, making a statement, no
plan B
Juanlove verse:
My…vision is hazy at best, but conviction makes me
restless
Or…Maybe I’m crazy at best, and wearing my words like
necklace
Carving a space like lumberjacks so brave I mess with
Texas
Or I’m Martin Scorsese at best, with pictures that make
you breathless
Under the flashing lights, but… still just on the verge
of reckless
Truthfully I’ve so much soul, and this much soul leaves
a man headless
See Buddy Holly said that the sky belongs to the stars
I then converted this truth to bars and realized I’ll
never need a Lexus
Life in abundance never the man seeking to hold a death
wish
Maybe, I’m Patrick Swayze at best, but, even my ghost
is deathless
Truth is I’m trying to stretch this, so ease up off my
checklist
I’m fixed upon the surface, and hope floats just like a
dead fish
SO, pardon my rhetoric this poetry is like post modern
Tetris
Maybe I’m just a builder at best, and just Nehemiah
gets this
ALL prophets are hated like diseases and tetanus
Scrutinized under the microscope we bask in his
Sometimes in the middle of the night
I watch you sleep in the pale moonlight
I hold my breath with all my might
Yea, you know I do
Your pretty face on the pillow shines
Like a candle and million times
Brighter than the sun and the stars combined
Yea you know you do
Nothin lights me up like seeing you
HoooYour Love is like a Spotlight
Hoo, keep shining down on me
You keep me steady when I move too much
Get me ready for what's coming up
Your love is like a spotlight
In the morning when I drive my car
Traffic Jams got me pushed so far
I close my eyes and there you are
Your in my car, in my car
Some people got a love that's dark
Tears em up and it breaks their heart
They live together but they always grow apart
Yea you know they do
They don't have the love like me and you
Your love is like a spotlight
Hoo, keep shining down on me
You keep me steady when I move too much
Get me ready for what's coming up
Your love is like a spotlight
When my soul gets heavy
And the only I thing I can see
Is the part of me that I don't want to see
When you move a little closer
Put your hand in mine and then you
Shine baby, Shine Shine Shine
Your love is like a spotlight
Hoo, keep shining down on me
You keep me steady when I move too much
Get me ready for what's coming up
[Tanya Lacey, Intro]Check-Check,
Check- Check, Check-One,
Can't hold me down, can't hold me back,
Me have fi burn every track,
[Tinchy Stryder, Verse 1]on your marks, get set, I'm here, Let's go,
I got my eyes all set on the roads,
Before we go, yo, I make sure my stylee's got swagger,
I stay sobered up with no lager, and I've still got skulls on the garments,
My mum keeps tellin me it's alarming,
Roll then we rock the show like Mick Jagger,
The further I go, the further I am to the end of the Roads,
But I'll get through the freezing cold, rainy days,
Plus nights and snow, I can't hear "no's",
[Pre-Chorus]I feel like superman,
I'm ready for the world, make sure they know that,
And this is the route I chose; watch me I let the truth unfold,
I got a super plan; I'll fly through it all I will not hold back,
I am set so I aim for my goals,
That's why I bring it to life at shows,
[Tanya Lacey, Chorus]I've been through the best and the worst times,
Still I'm striding on 'cause you know I'm rollin,
Gimme the beat and I'm rollin,
Just one stage, a mic and a mic lead,
Light comes down the spotlight is on me,
Rollin gimme the beat and I'm rolling,
(Yeah)
Can't hold me down, can't hold me back,
Me have fi burn every track,
Can't step down all I know it attack,
Step to the mic now I'm bringing it back,
[Tinchy Stryder, Verse 2]Yo, on your marks, get set, I'm here let's leave,
I can see them crawling creeps,
Before I leave, chill, breath,
Make sure my rhymes have got ammo,
I'm ready for war I'm like rambo,
I'm just like you I'm around,
Me I can walk to the shops I'm about,
Just know that the car that I drive is no Lambo',
Try to proceed, end of the road I can all but see,
I'll go deep into the blazing heat,
I'm down I ride for my peeps,
You know why...
[Pre-Chorus]I feel like superman,
I'm ready for the world, make sure they know that,
And this is the route I chose; watch me I let the truth unfold,
I got a super plan; I'll fly through it all I will not hold back,
I am set so I aim for my goals,
That's why I bring it to life at shows,
[Tanya Lacey, Chorus]I've been through the best and the worst times,
Still I'm striding on 'cause you know I'm rollin,
Gimme the beat and I'm rollin,
Just one stage, a mic and a mic lead,
Light comes down the spotlight is on me,
Rollin gimme the beat and I'm rolling,
(Yeah)
Can't hold me down, can't hold me back,
Me have fi burn every track,
Can't step down all I know it attack,
Step to the mic now I'm bringing it back,
[Tinchy Stryder, middle 8]
I'm really prepared you can check my stance,
My eyes are so focused, no quick glance,
Before I bounce, yo, Strydes,
I make sure my flows are still lightning,
That's why the rest are not liking,
They keep trying to pull me in to the drama,
They all wanna see me burn in the lava,
But I keep blazing back I'm still firing,
I get low, take it all in then I hit that road,
Smell it in the air man, it's all in the nose,
Raging bull I see red light rose,
You know why,
[Pre-Chorus]I feel like superman,
I'm ready for the world, make sure they know that,
And this is the route I chose; watch me I let the truth unfold,
I got a super plan; I'll fly through it all I will not hold back,
I am set so I aim for my goals,
That's why I bring it to life at shows,
[Tanya Lacey, Chorus]I've been through the best and the worst times,
Still I'm striding on 'cause you know I'm rollin,
Gimme the beat and I'm rollin,
Just one stage, a mic and a mic lead,
Light comes down the spotlight is on me,
Rollin gimme the beat and I'm rolling,
(Yeah)
Can't hold me down, can't hold me back,
Me have fi burn every track,
Can't step down all I know it attack,
Step to the mic now I'm bringing it back,
Can't step down all I know it attacks,
Step to the mic now I'm bringing it back,
I play the game
I practice all the right lines
I cover up the white lies, the white lies
But you,You see me
Disguise my inhibition
Wear a mask of treason
Of pleasing, deceiving
(chorus)
Spotlight's on I'm an actor on a stage
I can play the part where I disappear so
You can't find me
Make me run and shout like a puppet on a string
But when it fades to black and the crowd is gone
Who am I to me
You, still don't konw me
And that's the way I planned it
That's the way I need it and want it
But where did I go
Am I buried deep inside me
Would I even know me
To find me, remind me
(chorus)
This is not as hard as it should be
How did I get so good that I don't know myself
Did I lose it all along the way
Or can you help me
Find who I am to me
I'm like spinning out [x2]
Let's go get it down!
Gimme' the kick on the floor,
We're so rockin' that's why therefore,
Blows Away
We've not got another way [x2]
There's nothing to sort,
And of game you're out,
Then you've just to,
No one, Nobody
Someone, Somebody
Shakes up the world,
Every boy & girl,
Come down straight on the floor,
Never let the music go,
It's a story you know!
Bring 'em back [x2]
All of your enemies and your friends,
Leave the past,
We can take as long as you want!
Take your soul higher!
Reach your every desire!
Mix off, Every genre,
And look you're in the spotlight!
Spotlight, Spotlight!
You're gonna get the,
The award of years queen,
Lemme take your hand!
And Look we're on the cam,
Spotlight!
Spotlight!
Spotlight!
I've a spell to tell [x2]
Make 'em go on ya,
Never letcha say nah,
Shh, Shh, Shh,
I've got a secret!
But it's not right yet,
Without you in my world!
It's like you're the one!
Nobody could compare with,
Who knows Jhon Smith,
And when you've gotta go,
There's just me lone,
But still hitting the spotlights!
Take your soul higher!
Reach your every desire!
Mix off, Every genre,
And look you're in the spotlight!
Spotlight, Spotlight!
You're gonna get the,
The award of years queen,
Lemme take your hand!
And Look we're on the cam,
Spotlight!
Spotlight!
Spotlight!
I've a spell to tell [x2]
Make 'em go on ya,
Lay low kid don't go jump money
And keep it out of the spotlight
Live life ensure a good light but
Just do stay away from the spotlight
I like to flow like wytuck
They like to blow the fuck up
I get the dough
But on the low
I'm about to show you what's up
Phenomenal the rhyming poet
I've been holdin your touch
Inviting both your mind and
(Golden mouth to show you not top to par with)?
The rapper (it's not you) to spar with
Findin it better to lay in the (cup)? and watch it unfold
Don't expose it if I'm foldin large bills
It's not as viable to me as the riches of the soul
I'm lyrically intentions
The vision of men and women
Scatterin in the middle of an evacuation from villages
This is that instant vintage lyricism
Intended to get you lifted
Essentially you're makin this the target
Autistic expression
Is manifestin your limits
And not in my psyche
That's why I can't be involved with it
All energy I'm around is selected
Off [? ] ingenuine
Cause a lot of them would like to see you fall
So I-
Lay low kid don't go jump money
And keep it out of the spotlight
Live life ensure a good light but
Just do stay away from the spotlight
I never knew that the goal to the diamond bangin
More than my family makin it
Older I'm findin it important
To dazzle and impress thoughts of strangers
Who wouldn't throw me a preserver if my life was in danger
Fuck it
Blatant the cutters these days are numbered
Some say what's up to strictly vacate abundance of life
I'm about to re-up my spirit today
And come with the verbal ingredient
To intoxicate your circumference
Operate at the speed of capacity that's not among us
Some will hate us
They are more afraid of potential greatness coming through you
Later for that I could never stay in your dumbness
Thinkin you playin the set and your energy may get self destructive
I thought your frontin'
That's why you stepped to the other side of the street
While your cryin loopin with sighin
I kept on hustling
Not just for green but for any freedom of bein me
I'm forever shaping your opinions
And your conceptions buster
Lay low kid don't go jump money
And keep it out of the spotlight
Live life ensure a good light but

How come you ask me what I'm doing here
With my guitar in hand
I'm at the microphone stand
I think the reason should be very clear
You see the spotlight it's for a good night
Something happens to you
And the same thing happens to you
So if I sing about the places you've been to
You can see them once again through me
But it's only me
So if you catch me handing you a line
Please forgive me ah but let me be
I've got to do it almost all the time
It fills a big hole in my young soul
Something happens to you
And the same thing happens to me
So if I sing about the places that you've been to
You can see them once again through me
