CHICAGO (FOX 32 News) -
When the feuding between Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey was intense, we heard a rumor about season 8 runner-up Adam Lambert--who's already carved out a big career--being considered for a judging slot next season.
Now, good "American Idol" sources are saying it again.
Even though things have settled down between Nicki and Mariah, most in-the-know "Idol" experts doubt Nicki or Mariah--or likely both--will be back next season. It's less about the feuding, and more about both superstars' huge careers and commitments.
In the final week of regional auditions prior to Hollywood week, the judges were in San Antonio and Long Beach, California. They found some great talent in San Antonio -- especially single mom Savannah Votion.
We all know that perhaps the most successful "American Idol" is Chicago's own Jennifer Hudson.
But while Hudson confirms it was "American Idol" that launched her career, she has some "Idol" folks shaking their heads after she suggested the show should end its run after this season "and quit while you're ahead--on top."
