"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." -- Jennifer Hudson

Former "American Idol" star Jennifer Hudson has publicly admitted that she thinks the show is past it's prime. The 2004 "Idol" contestant rose to fame when she finished seventh on the show, which led her to a role in 2006's film "Dreamgirls." Hudson released her debut, self-titled album Jennifer Hudson in 2008 and it has since sold over 800,000 copies. Despite her own success, the singer/actress doesn't see the show she found fame on being successful in the future. Is it because of the feud between Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj? Adding celebrity judges has seemed to detract from the original purpose of the show -- finding new talent. Wonder if any of the "Idol" judges will respond to Hudson? Stay tuned!

None of the talent that was featured on American Idol should be suggesting the show should end. Especially the ones who had greater success after having their talent shown. ( I never read or hear Carrie Underwood say anything like Idol should end or has she? ) I think it best to leave it up to and trust the makers of the show to determine when it's time to call it quits; they should know when the show just isn't drawing the attention of a next generation and that the ratings just aren't up to snuff anymore. It's not a dead dog as of yet but the judging is a little very soft pillow after Simon left.

BON JOUR JAE!

'American Idol' did not 'change the face of tellevision'....there have always been some type of talent show around. It did bring us more crap to weed through to find a new star....most of them too overdone, played out and forced down our throats...

I have not watched it yet this season. Without Simon the judging has really suffered. It has just become one huge lovefest. There is very little criticism anymore and sometimes it's what these people need to hear in order to become successful. I often wonder what the rest of America is looking at when deciding who to vote for.

I do not watch that thing... It is worthless... If a disgusting thing as Jennifer Hudson can win, then all the more reason to do away with it.
