The spotlight is on Jennifer Hudson: She’s joining The Voice for the NBC competition series’ 13th season.
The Oscar-winner and former American Idol contestant will replace Alicia Keys on the judges’ panel, according to The Hollywood Reporter, and the team sounds like it couldn’t be happier to have her.
“Jennifer is an extraordinary vocal talent and one of the premiere voices of our time. She embodies the experience, expertise, positivity and sheer talent that The Voice stands for,” NBC Entertainment alternative and reality group president Paul Telegdy said in a statement. “Her exceptional skills as a singer and actress have extended to film, television and Broadway, which makes her an incredible addition and a natural fit for our show.”
