Jennifer Hudson made her appearance on American Idol in 2005 but did not make it. Being cut was probably one of the best things that ever happen to Jennifer Hudson in my opinion because her career took off not to long after. She landed a role in Dreamgirls with Jamie Foxx and Beyonce, which showed not only her singing talent, but her acting talent as well.
Hudson won an Oscar for best supporting actress in the hit movie Dreamgirls. And her movie career is only going to get better. Hudson is set too appear on "Winged Creatures, Sex and the City: the movie, and The Secret Life of Bees." In the future she is rumored to appear in Tyler Perry's movie "The Family That Preys Together."
If rumors are true, this is just another dream of Hudson's that will come to life. In September 2006, when asked about Tyler Perry, she told Variety, "maybe we could do a movie together."
Look out, Jennifer Hudson is making major moves in her movie career and is not stopping there. She is also working on an album, although there is no set release date, with music producer Clive Davis.
