Today's Cryptoquip Clue: D equals M ENTERTAINMENT Special tribute to the Queen of Soul LOS ANGELES — Singer Jennifer Hudson said she and Florence Welch bonded big time during their part in the Grammy Awards show's salute to a common influence, the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin. "I just love her energy," Hudson said of Welch after they'd rehearsed the career-spanning medley of Franklin signature songs on Thursday. "I love how much she loves music, and we just feed off each other - it's like a magnet." As intimidating as it might seem for any singer to interpret the songs of one of pop music's great vocalists, Hudson said: "At the same time, it's an honor, and that outweighs the nerves. The fact that we get to do this - I just hope we reflect her in the best way. I got a call to do this and I said, 'Yay! I'll be there with bells on.' "There was absolutely no competition" among the tribute participants, who also included Christina Aguilera, Yolanda Adams and Martina McBride, Hudson said. "It was all celebration and honoring of Aretha Franklin. I'm just honored to be on stage with such amazing talent. I'm standing up there in awe. Wow." Associated Press
