Frenchie Davis, who was eliminated from American Idol in 2003 for being on an adult website when she was 19, will be having surgery to remove a vocal cord polyp. Yikes! Frenchie, who went on to star in “Rent” on Broadway, says that the condition likely came from overuse and singing improperly.
“I’ve talked to other […]

Honestly, I’m not sure this “In Sixty” thing from Billboard is such a great idea. It’s a little cheesy but that’s just my opinion. Anyway, the host talked about Ruben Studdard and his “farewell” song for this current season of American Idol. I see it as a potentially positive thing for him career-wise. What do […]

American Idol winner Ruben Studdard has reportedly shed almost 100 pounds for his upcoming stage role. Ironically enough, he lost the weight to portray Fats Domino in the musical “Ain’t Misbehavin‘” (come on, the irony of losing weight to be “Fats” is a little humorous, right?).
He said, “I am working out now. I’ve started […]

Listen to this song by Ruben Studdard, Deitrickand Mary Mary. It’s called "Love Him Like I Do" and it is a great example of a Gospel-type song brought into modernity. I actually really really like it.
Ruben sounds great, by the way, so I’m hoping that all of his record label woes are behind him.
Watch the […]

This video provides an interesting little recap of some of our favorite American Idol stars - Katharine McPhee, Ruben Studdard, Fantasia Barrino, Taylor Hicks, Jordin Sparks, Blake Lewis and Jennifer Hudson.
It’s about a topic that has been widely debated on Idol Stalker this past week. You guessed it - album sales and whether […]

American Idol winners, Fantasia Barrino and Ruben Studdard, sing "Don’t Save it All For Christmas" on an American Idol Christmas special. My daughter sent this to me and I thought I already put it up but I didn’t so I’m publicly apologizing, lol.
Enjoy your "Idol Holiday Song" of the day!

SOHH is reporting that American Idol winner, Ruben Studdard, has been dropped by J Records. Merry Christmas - ouch!
"Studdard’s first J Record release Soulful, released in 2003, is RIAA certified platinum. His 2004 gospel follow up, I Need An Angel also fared well - reaching gold status. However sales of his 2006 project The […]

Hey, I know that not everyone celebrates Christmas (including some of my own family) and I apologize if this is offensive to anyone but I’d love to put up "holiday" performances every day for the next few weeks. If you’ve got any, send them my way!
In the meantime, here are a couple goodies for you:
"An […]

I got my hands on these stats yesterday so they are valid as of November 28, 2007. I think that they provide a pretty interesting look at Jordin Sparks‘ first week as well as at how some of the other former American Idol contestants are doing. Check it out (from USA Today):
Jordin’s 119,000 first-week sales, […]

With last week’s release of both “Carnival Ride” (Carrie Underwood) and “See the Light” (Bo Bice), I was interested in the Idol sales. Luckily, I found some stats on USA Today.
I’ll probably not be around for the rest of the night since it’s Halloween and I’ve got three kids. We’re making a […]
