Jennifer Hudson is looking back at one of her biggest rejections — without which, she would not be the EGOT honoree she is today!
詹妮弗·哈德森正在回顾她最大的一次拒绝——如果没有它，她就不会成为今天的EGOT获奖者!

The singer and actress, 42, shot to fame as a standout and fan-favorite on the third season of American Idol, which aired in 2004. Then, she was eliminated.
这位42岁的歌手兼演员在2004年播出的《美国偶像》第三季中以出色的表现和粉丝的喜爱而一举成名。然后，她被淘汰了。

Now, two decades — and a whole lot of accolades — later, Hudson is reflecting on her journey from that heart-wrenching rejection.
现在，20年过去了，收获了很多荣誉，哈德森回想起那次令人心碎的拒绝后的经历。

In a post on X (formerly Twitter) on April 21, the singer shared a clip of the moment she was eliminated, and wrote, “On this day in 2004, I was eliminated from American Idol! But God turned it around for my good!”
4月21日，这位歌手在Twitter上分享了自己被淘汰的片段，并写道:“2004年的今天，我被《美国偶像》淘汰了!但上帝为我扭转了局面!”

In the clip, then-host Ryan Seacrest announced that after receiving the highest number of votes earlier in the season, Hudson was going home, while contestant Fantasia Barrino would be moving through to the next round.
在视频片段中，当时的主持人Ryan Seacrest宣布，在本赛季早些时候获得最高票数后，Hudson将被淘汰，而选手Fantasia Barrino将进入下一轮。

Barrino, who went on to win the season, hugged her tightly and said, “You are my American idol.” 
赢得赛季冠军的巴里诺紧紧地拥抱着她说:“你是我的美国偶像。”

Alongside the clip, Hudson continued her reflection, writing, “From Idol to EGOT baby!!! 20 years later, and now back on TV with my own show.”
在视频旁边，哈德森继续她的反思，写道:“从偶像到EGOT宝贝!!20年后，现在我带着自己的节目回到了电视上。”
