“And I’m telling you,” soulfully begins American Idol loser Jennifer Hudson in Dreamgirls.  “I’m not going.”

After leaving us with the words “I’m not going,” you would expect Hudson’s music career to be as longstanding as a family of cockroaches living in the [once] projects of Chicago.  However, after listening to her latest single “Spotlight,” she may have created the first surefire way to terminate a cockroach - or her music career - for good.

The song begins, continues and ends with a beat that stagnates and bores you into a state of wishing you were in a coma.  Even though, Hudson’s voice sits polished atop this mound of synthesized crap, she doesn’t even try to shine, staying within 3 notes for the entire song, possibly hitting 2 more during the climax of the song.

If she doesn’t like living under the spotlight of fellow Dreamgirl Beyoncé and [insert the name of any singer that can sing live here], then maybe she should do like Madonna and use some of that Dreamgirl money to invest in a hit and Bally Total Fitness before her career gets guaranteed overnight extermination like cockroaches that have been doused in a stream of Bengal Roach Spray.
