“This is so precious to me. I can’t even begin to describe how it melts my heart,” Hudson wrote in the video’s caption. “I did not want to shame my baby by shouting but…look at him…he so serious and focused!”

Hudson called the moment a “mother’s dream.” Watch her son, David Otunga, Jr., perform below:

At the end of the video, the little boy appears shy and smiles as Hudson excitedly proclaims that her “baby is singing.”

The clip quickly garnered more than 176,000 views and 1,129 comments, with fans praising David’s singing chops. One commenter wrote, “That is totally awesome. He is adorable,” with another adding, “What a blessing.”

As Faithwire reported, Hudson also recently brought the house down when she sang an impromptu hymn on “The Late Show” with Stephen Colbert. Watch that moment below at the 3:01-mark:
