J-HUD OUTLINES DETAILS OF STAGE SHOW: Singer promises outing with Robin Thicke will be more 'intimate and personal.'
*Jennifer Hudson says she's looking forward to beginning her 25-date concert tour with co-headliner Robin Thicke, which kicks off March 31 in Albany, N.Y.
"I'm excited to get out and meet the people and sing for the people," Hudson told Billboard.com Monday during a conference call with reporters. "I always love to perform live. The only other tour I've been part of is the (American) Idol tour, so this'll be more intimate and personal."
The singer admitted that with just one album on her resume, a co-headlining tour made more sense for an inaugural outing rather than going out on her own.
"I'm in a weird place," she said, "like, 'Wow, everybody knows Jennifer, but where do you place her? Who do you put her with? Where do I go?' That was the hardest part of the puzzle to put together. I think we came out with a great solution."
Thicke said that Hudson would be using musicians from his band during the tour, along with her own backing singers. Each plans to perform for about an hour, and they confirmed that they'll sing together.
"The good thing is Jennifer and I did a song on her album together (the Thicke-written 'Giving Myself')," Thicke noted, "so there's a likelihood of me coming out and doing something with that. And then me and her are going to talk about doing an old song together, something that'll get people all excited. First of all her and I have got to get comfortable with our own songs, then we're gonna...see what we can do together."
Hudson and Thicke will play 25 theater and casino dates together, wrapping up May 9 in Biloxi, Miss.
