The Oscar winner singer has been fitting in a lot of substantial performances in her very busy schedule. Hudson performed at the Annual Costume Institute gala 2007 on Monday (May 07, 2007) in New York City, where she sang three songs. She ended up with "I Am Changing" but the standing ovation that followed at one stage appeared would not end. Hudson responded with an encore of "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" from Dreamgirls.
