“American Idol” is heading to the Oscars. Two of the iconic show’s most recognizable “American Idol” alumni gearing up to take the stage during Hollywood’s Biggest Night. Oscar and Grammy Award-Winning Jennifer Hudson will be performing the Oscar-nominated song “I’ll Fight” from RBG, written by 10-time nominee Diane Warren, while Adam Lambert and Queen’s show-opening performance will not be one to miss.
