Jennifer Hudson Album Shelved; Clive Davis Cancels Jennifer Hudson Album
Academy Award winner Jennifer Hudson’s debut LP has been shelved by music mogul Clive Davis.
““They made half an album and ended up scrapping it. Clive — wisely, I think — said, ‘No one’s going to buy this. We’re trying to turn her into Aretha Franklin, and that’s not realistic.’” They scrapped a bunch of songs and started fresh. I heard a Timbaland song that was by far the best song she’s done. I do wish, and I know the label wishes, that this album had come out six months ago. But Clive’s smart. He didn’t want to just put out a crap album just because of the momentum,” Ryan Tedder of One Republic says.

I understand that they do not want to rush her album but they also need to realize that the longer she waits the more difficult it will be to break her into the music biz.. While she sits back and waits for her debut album to come out other powerhouses like the UK’s Leona Lewis is about to come out with a very promising US release of her UK smash.. I will always be a fan of JHuds but like I said before they need to get the ball rolling
