Though Simon Cowell told her she’d always be a back-up singer when she was on American Idol, Jennifer Hudson still loves the show and is making a return this season.

The Grammy- and Oscar-winning actress, singer and “Idol” alum is scheduled to tape a performance in front of the studio audience on Wednesday after the live broadcast has ended, says a person close to the show who did not want his or her name used because the person was not authorized to speak to reporters.

This will be the first time Jennifer has performed on Idol since the tragic murders of her family members. She is totally a class-act and I can’t wait to see it!
