    Jennifer Hudson may not have won American Idol when she competed, but she did go on to win an Oscar for her role in Dreamgirls. The singer, actress and Weight Watchers spokeswoman says that producers should quit while they are head and go out on top, before ratings inevitably start to slide.

    Is this a case of sour grapes? Hell no. She has a point.

    Hudson thinks the show has run its course, saying, "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."

    Do you agree with J Hud? Do you watch Idol? Did you? Did you stop after a few seasons? Are you over it? Or are you all about the new-look panel with Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey?
