Jennifer Hudson Signs as American Idol Judge: Report

Posted on May 25, 2013 | 10:57 AM

American Idol alumna Jennifer Hudson has reportedly signed a contract to be a judge in the upcoming 13th season of American Idol. 

Jennifer Hudson to judge American Idol Season 13

According to E! News, the 31-year-old Hudson has already finalized a deal to sit as one the judges in American Idol Season 13 which is set to start auditions in July. Jennifer Hudson is one of the most successful Idol alumni. Although only finished seventh in the show's 3rd season way back in 2004, Jennifer went on to win awards at the Grammy and Oscars both as a singer and as an actress.

Reports also said that American Idol plans to have an all-alumni three-person judging panel in season 13, a revamp which aims to highlight its capability to produce top-selling recording artists. The producers are considering seating its first ever winner Kelly Clarkson and another alum which may either be Season 8 runner up Adam Lambert or Season 2 runner up Clay Aiken.

Veteran judge Randy Jackson (who has been a judge since the very first season) already announced during the season 12 finale that he will be leaving the show. His season 12 co-judges, Mariah Carey, Keith Urban and Nicki Minaj are also reportedly not coming back for season 13.

According to E! News, The "superstar-alum" theme is aimed at reclaiming some of Idol's lost viewership. American Idol has suffered a serious competition from The Voice in the past two years and recent data showed that the Fox reality singing competition has hit its lowest viewership in the last season which crowned Candice Glover as winner in a historic all-girl Top 5.

Do you think American Idol will bring back some of its lost glory with an all alumni judging panel?

Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez Quit American Idol

Posted on July 14, 2012 | 10:15 AM

American Idol judges Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez are not coming back on the Season 13 of the said Fox hit singing competition. Both Tyler and J-Lo had confirmed quitting American Idol to pursue their "first love."

Judges Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler Quit American Idol
Steven Tyler first confirmed that he will not return as an American Idol judge. In a statement released by Fox, Steven said:
“After some long…hard…thoughts…I’ve decided it’s time for me to let go of my mistress American Idol before she boils my rabbit. I strayed from my first love, AEROSMITH, and I’m back — but instead of begging on my hands and knees, I’ve got two fists in the air and I’m kicking the door open with my band. The next few years are going to be dedicated to kicking some serious ass — the ultimate in auditory takeover…On Nov. 6, we are unleashing our new album, Music from Another Dimension on the Earth, Moon, Mars, and way beyond the stars…IDOL was over-the-top fun, and I loved every minute of it…Now it’s time to bring Rock Back. ERMAHGERD.”
Meanwhile, a day after Steven Tyler announced he was leaving Idol, Jennifer Lopez also said that she was exiting the show. In an emotional chat with American Idol host Ryan Seacrest on his On-Air radio show July 13, J-Lo said that she will quit Idol, too.
''Something had to give, something has to give. I was really dreading this phone call with you. I honestly feel the time has come that I have to get back to doing the other things that you do, and you have to pay attention to that, too. I could keep doing Idol for the rest of my life, but that would be giving up a bunch of other things. I feel like we had an amazing run.''
Although J-Lo may not return w a judge, she said she will always be around whenever the show needed her, probably as a mentor for the contestants.
''No matter what you guys need over there, I'm always going to be here. I feel there's that tie there. I just can't be there every day like I was for the last two years. It's just one of those special things in your life you don't want to walk away from.''
Both Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez had spent two years in the show and with the two quitting Idol, judge Randy Jackson's future on the show is also unsure. There are rumors that Randy is also not coming back for Season 13 in an attempt to freshen up the format.

If Randy will be gone too, then host Ryan Seacrest will be the only person left from the original run since it started.

Who will replace the judges, then? There were rumors that Adam Lambert, Charlie Sheen and Mariah Carey will be seating on the judges' table when American Idol returns this 2013 for Season 12.

Adam Lambert to Judge American Idol 12?

Posted on July 10, 2012 | 8:16 PM

American Idol Season 8 runner-up Adam Lambert is said to join the panel of judges in the Season 12 of American Idol. 

According to a report by E! Online, Adam Lambert is being considered as one of the judges for the return of AI in 2013 and has been in talks with the show's bosses for over a month now.

Adam Lambert as American idol Season 12 judge?

The source told E! Online:
"They have been talking about Adam for over a month. He personifies the show, and will be a popular choice right from the start. He knows what it's like to be on the receiving end of the judges' comments, he has a human touch, and they know they can't go wrong if they bring him on. He would be able to bring a unique perspective to the show. People love him."
The source also suggested that American Idol is up for a new look next season while maintaining the soul of the show and in an attempt to freshen up the format, judge Randy Jackson may not return for Season 13.

"Randy is great, but he's part of the old Idol," the source said. "They want to keep the soul of the show but have a new look, and for that reason he may well not be part of the new line up."

Steven Tyler's future in American Idol is also unsure and hanging as with Jennifer Lopez's. However, J Lo, who is  rumored to be leaving the show to focus on her singing career might be retained as the producers wanted to keep their female judge according to several sources.

If ever Adam Lambert will be joining American Idol Season 12, he will be the very first contestant to ever seat on the judges' table.

What do you think of Adam Lambert as the new American Idol judge? Sounds exciting, huh.

American Idol 2012 Top 3 Results Night: Joshua Ledet Eliminated!

Posted on May 18, 2012 | 8:58 AM

Joshua Ledet got the boot on American Idol 2012 Top 3 Results Show (Elimination Night) May 17 (May 18 in Manila). 

Joshua joined the ranks of Haley Reinhart, Syesha Mercado, Elliot Yamin, Melinda Doolittle, Jasmine Trias and other Idol Top 3 finalist who missed out the opportunity to be a member of American Idol Top 2 and the chance to compete in the finale.

Joshua Ledet failed to make it to the finale and has just been voted out of American Idol Season 11
The American Idol Season 11 Top 2 spots were snatched by Jessica Sanchez and Phillip Phillips, who will battle it all out for next week's finale (May 22 performance and May 23 results show).

Before Joshua made his final vow on the American Idol stage, Idol alumnus and Season 8 runner-up Adam Lambert performed his new song, Never Close Our Eyes (from his sophomore album "Trespassing" which dropped May 15) while Lisa Marie Presley sang You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet, her latest single from her new album “Storm & Grace.” 

Joshua Ledet is one of the favorites to make it in the finale and his performances last night earned rave reviews from the judges, who again gave Joshua a standing ovation for his performance of Etta James' classic, I'd Rather Go Blind which was picked for him by Randy Jackson. He also tackled John Lennon's Imagine and Mary J. Blige's No More Drama to a great extent.


Watch the announcement of the American Idol 2012 Top 2 below:



Now that we have our American Idol 2012 Top 2 in the person of Jessica Sanchez and Phillip Phillips, it's time to set our minds for the finale on May 22nd and 23rd.

Who will be crowned as the 11th American Idol winner? Well, it's up to America on who they want to win. I'm just hoping that whoever wins this thing, all the eliminated talented contestants will be given their own spots in the music industry.

(Honestly, been hoping for a girl to win this season and now keeping my fingers crossed for Jessica's victory.)
