'Idol' odds 'n ends: Jennifer performs on 'Oprah'

The following are Idol-related odds and ends that happened this week:

>Jennifer Hudson was a featured guest on today's episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show, during which she talked with Oprah about her big win at the Grammys and singing the National Anthem at the Super Bowl among other things. She also performed her new single, "If This Isn't Love," which can be viewed below:



>Following her big performance in front of some fewer than 20 million last night, Brooke White's new single, "Hold Up My Heart," has shot all the way up to #9 on iTunes' Top 100 Overall Songs chart. If it continues to inch up a bit over the next few days, it could have an outside shot of debuting in the Top 20 of Billboard's Hot 100 chart next week.

>One of Chris Daughtry's recent collaborations with another band will be getting a single release. According to AllAccess.com, "Slow Down," which Chris recorded with the band Third Day, will hit Hot Adult Contemporary radio on March 9. Watch a clip of Chris lending his vocals to the track in the studio below:



>Jordin Sparks received a nomination for the 2009 MTV Australia Awards presented by Vodafone for her duet of "No Air" with Chris Brown in the Best Collaboration category. The awards show will take place in Sydney on Fri., March 27. Fans can vote by visiting here.

>Mikalah Gordon is taking her new-found fame following her appearance on the second season of CMT's Gone Country and filming a reality series about how life after Idol is not always fun and games. She spoke with Maximo TV a few weeks ago about the show on the red carpet of the premiere of Afro Sumarai:



The series will be produced by Renegade Productions, the same people responsible for Gone Country. No word yet on which network(s) is/are interested in the series.
