Jennifer Hudson loves defying the public's expectations by showing different sides of herself - and insists she is "a tree with many branches".The multi-talented star has a highly successful acting career, scooping 29 awards for her appearance in 2007 movie Dreamgirls.And she hopes her self-titled debut album will surprise fans - because it is such a change from her usual work.She tells Cnn.com, "I don't believe in limits so I wasn't allowing myself to be limited and I wanted to show other sides of me, and to say 'Well, if you like this side of Jennifer, let me introduce you to another side'."I used to consider my voice a tree with many branches and that's what to me this album displays, all these different sides of me."But Hudson insists she has no plans to film a musical - because she doesn't want her movie career to clash with her singing.She adds, "If I'm acting I'm acting, if I'm singing I'm singing. There's no doing both, because I don't wanna split my focus... so one had to give way for the other.".
