Though Fox has not confirmed it, Jennifer Hudson is reportedly appearing on American Idol in an intimate performance to be taped after Wednesday's results show. The performance will then be broadcast at a later date.

The ticket voucher allegedly states a "second taping of Wednesday is the LIVE performance show with special performances by Jennifer Hudson and Ruben Studdard." Studdard is a confirmed guest.

Following her appearance on AI, Hudson will guest on Thursday's Ellen DeGeneres' show as part of a string of high profile spots to kick off her upcoming tour with Robin Thicke.

It's good to see her back to work! As she told Oprah, doing what she loves to do is like "therapy."

      Off subject…but the only original music out there right now is Kings of Leon. Everything else is over-produced garbage

      waste of time-4 judges and old contestants-2 hours- 1 1/2 hours too long

      Re: Hole – good stuff but I'm more into "Stereolab","Nick Cave"and "Spirtualized".Leon's cool though



    17. 17

      Re: RedWingsFan – ya that will be a great series!!! I'm worried about San Jose too. They haven't lost many games and Thorton is hungry for a cup!

      Re: RedWingsFan – Stereolab is amazing as well as Nick Cave…loved the Bad Seeds era. I really meant mainstream…but I think you got that. No mention of real music on this site…it's all super indy(for street cred) or Disney/American Idol crap

      Re: Sensitivity – Considering how "average" our goaltending is this season ,I'd say it's a wide open field!Don't get me wrong-I'll be with my team 100% but I also would not be shocked if we don't repeat.



    22. 22

      Re: RedWingsFan – looking forward to that!!



    23. 23

      Hope they gives us advanced warning so I can avoid this train wreck.

      JENNIFER HUDSON TO RETURN TO IDOL:
      It was announced today that Ms. Hudson has been hired as a full time Janitorial Assistant to Tyreese Brown / Head Janitor on the show.
      She will be paid more than mos starting employee's due to her success (sic) on the show. It is reported she will be receiving over $11.20 per hour PLUS she is free to eat all the leftovers in the Green Room (after) the guests have left. Ms. Hudson was ecstatic saying " Now I jus like my ole Auntie Bess downs in Joeja?

      American Idol used to be good, but it's too repetitive. Simon, Randy, and Paula just deliver the same old, same old. Kara Dioguardi is pathetic, and her feud with Paula is banal at best. The singers all suck, except for Lil Rounds.

      At least Jennifer Hudson can sing. She was amazing in Dreamgirls. But has anyone listened to her album? It sounds just like every other R&B singer out there. Unless she's singing something from the Dreamgirls soundtrack, I won't tune in.
