Jennifer Hudson Finds Performing Therapeutic

Jennifer Hudson is doing okay.

The American Idol alum - who was left devastated by the murders of her mother, brother and 7-year-old nephew in October 2008 - told Oprah Winfrey that performing is "like therapy" during an appearance on Friday's live episode of of The Oprah Winfrey Show.

"I'm good. I'm really good. Glad to be back to working and doing what I love to do. I'm in a very good place," Hudson said, although she didn't make a direct reference to the slayings.

Oscar-winning Hudson - who recently sang at the Super Bowl - added that she has found a good place for her numerous awards: her piano room.
