Oscar/SAG/Golden Globe award winner and former American Idol Jennifer Hudson got her album cancelled by Clive Davis. Yet another Idol in this Idol curse of labels dropping Idol artists or their album. Here's what Ryan of One Republic had to say.......““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.
