If everything goes according to plans, Grammy Awards winner and
American Idol, Jennifer Hudson, might be the headlining act at the grand
finale of the Nigerian Idol holding later this month.
According to sources close to the show’s Nigerian franchisee, Optima
Media Group, Hudson has been approached and is ready to visit Nigeria
for the first time. “We have concluded all arrangements to make her
perform at the idol finals. In fact, organisers of the American Idol are
the go-between. So, it is taken for granted that she will be in Nigeria
in April,” the source tells E-Punch exclusively.
Noteworthy is that when Hudson, whose vocal range and ability has been
compared with the late Whitney Houston, comes to Nigeria, she will share
the stage with multiple Grammy Awards nominee; Nigeria’s own Afrobeat
star, Femi Kuti. The source says Femi has agreed to
perform at the final show. A pointer to this was his presence as guest
judge at the Fela tribute night last weekend where he mentored the last
three contestants, Mercy, Joe Blue and Stephen Onochie and taught them a
trick or two on how to make music of Grammy Awards standard.
