:music: Hello all! Just wanted to give you an update on some of the prior contestants on seasons 1 through 6.
Artists Addiction Records and Rocket Science, a sales and field marketing company, figure there's still an audience for American Idol finalists voted off in the early and middle rounds.
These two companies are banding together to bring a 4-volume series featuring 4 idol performers per CD, with each singing 3 original songs. The first volume is being released today (Feb. 5th) which features recordings by Jon Peter Lewis (Season 3), Ryan Starr (Season 1), A. J. Tabaldo (Season 6) and Stevie Scott (Season 5).
Volume 2 is tentatively scheduled for release on March 4th. This second volume will spotlight Alaina Alexander and Rudy Cardenas (Season 6), and Patrick Hall and Gedeon McKinney (Season 5). This series of volumes will be available exclusively through Wal-Mart and ITunes.
Since their appearances on the show, Volume 1 contestants have had a variety of jobs. Jon Peter Lewis is working on his follow-up album to his 2006 disc "Stories From Hollywood". Ryan Starr appeared on Bravo's "Battle of the Network Reality Stars". A. J. Tabaldo has not been seen since his elimination and Stevie Scott has been working as a concert performer.
:imo: You can hear samples of this cd at the Wal-mart site. A. J. Tabaldo sounds really good from what I have listened to so far.
Bye for now.

:hello2: Jelliott. This is the way to get to listen to the tracks. Go to the Wal-mart.com website. In the search space, key in "Curtain Call" and it will bring you right to the cd then pan down and you will see the songs listed where you can get a sample of each track. Hope this helps as that is how I was able to hear it.
Thanks for posting!

Oh my gosh, that is great! Thanks for the info! I LOVED AJ Tabaldo when he was on AI. He was my favorite during season 6, and I was sooo upset when he got elimininated. :( I'm also excited to hear Patrick Hall and Gideon McKinney's songs. :D I'll give them all a listen.
