Jennifer Hudson: 'American Idol should go out on top'

Written by . Published: January 23 2013

Former American Idol star Jennifer Hudson has urged show producers to quit while they're ahead and end the TV singing contest before the ratings drop.


The Oscar-winner fears the series that helped make her a star has run its course and she doesn't think new judges Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban will save it from a popularity slide.


She says, "Everything has its time. I think it should just allow itself to go out on top... and gracefully.


"American Idol changed the face of television... not everyone can say that. And, it’s always been a phenomenon. I’m proud to have come from American Idol, so I just say, go out on top."
