Hudson, who came seventh in the 2004 season of “American Idol,” admits the show enabled her to retire from her previous career working on a Walt Disney cruise liner.
She says, “Before ‘American Idol,’ I worked for Disney on their cruise ship line for six months at a time. I narrated and also did all the lead singing for the Hercules show and also did ‘Circle Of Life’ from ‘The Lion King.’ I think I was on the right track for my singing career before ‘American Idol,’ but ‘Idol’ did help speed my career along. I didn’t think things could get any bigger or busier than when I was on ‘Idol,’ but it has. ‘American Idol’ is part of my history, and I’m proud of it. It’s helped me establish myself as a true artist. Now it’s up to me to further my career on my own.”
