With all of the attention on the release of Fantasia and Diana's CD singles over the next few weeks, and both of the girls' positions on the best selling list, it's always interesting to check in with the Idol contestants from the past two seasons, to see who has what out and how they're doing. All of the images and figures, again, come from amazon.com, where you can buy each of these CDs.
Tamyra is leading the Idols, with her newly-released CD coming in at number 76. Anyone buy it? If so, leave us a review in the comment section. All of us considering a purchase would appreciate your evaluation.
Coming in at the number 87 top seller at Amazon is Josh Gracin! Remember Josh? He was number 4 in season two, our U.S. Marine friend and country music fan. He has just recently released a country album. Want more of Josh? Visit his website, joshgracin.com. Good to see you again! If you have Josh's CD, let us know what you think. Please!
Now my girl Kim Locke's CD has been out since early May, so we wouldn't expect her to rank exceptionally high on the Amazon best selling chart. Kim was the third place finisher for season two, remember? Numbers do fall with time, after all. I have this CD, and, while I don't think I would have purchased it had it not been my girl Kim, some of the cuts on this are worth the price of admission, most notably, her duet with Clay Aiken. Without You. And, despite what many critics say, I really like her single 8th World Wonder. So, if you're a Kim fan, it's worth the money. Kim's CD One Love is currently #137 at Amazon.
Now we're getting into the CDs that have been out there many, many months. Let's see how they're doing. First up, my man Clay. Measure of a Man, not my favorite CD, which debuted at #1 on pre-sales alone, is now #297.
And Kelly, our very first American Idol, has her CD, Thankful, coming in at #429. Again, not one of my favorite CDs, but worth it for Beautiful Disaster.
And our teddy bear, Ruben, the second American Idol, has his CD, Soulful, bringing up the rear of the Idolites at #610. If this CD didn't include Ruben's rendition of the Bee Gees' How Do You Mend a Broken Heart?, I wouldn't buy it again. But for that song alone, it was worth the price. I burned that track, and then gave the CD to my granddaughter, the hugest Ruuuuuuuben fan on the planet!
Any thoughts?
