A bitter sweet end to American Idol tour

SINGAPORE, Oct. 3 (UPI) -- The last official concert of the American Idol 3 tour will be a bitter-sweet affair for the young pop stars.

After three months of non-stop concerts, seven of the American Idol finalists are in Singapore for the last show of their tour Tuesday. While they expect some tears on stage, several of the idols also appeared relieved the end is near.

Speaking during a Sunday Singapore news conference, George Huff said he was happy the tour was finally ending so he could move on with his own projects. He will release a 5-track Christmas CD in November. Jennifer Hudson is planning to pursue a career on Broadway and in films, while Jon Peter Lewis is penning some "quirky rock and roll songs."

La Toya London said she was also working on an album, but was currently penning her thoughts, while Jasmine Trias was on her way to the Philippines where she has become a huge star.

Barrino is expected to release her debut album Nov. 15, while runner-up Diane DeGarmo's debut album is planned for release next year.
