Jennifer Hudson Speaks on the Decline of ‘American Idol’: ‘Everything has it’s time, it should go out on top…and gracefully’

The Jennifer Hudson we know may have come from American Idol, but that isn’t stopping her from speaking on the show’s year-after-year decline.

“Everything has its time,” she told Celebuzz at Hennessy VS’ event for her film, The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete in Los Angeles. “I think it should just allow itself to go out on top… and gracefully.”

Hudson, 31, ultimately placed seventh on her season, but she still holds the show in high regard. “American Idol changed the face of television,” she told us.

“So, 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.”
