Remember when I posted about the DownFall of the American Idol Contestants a while ago? Well, this isn't stopping any time soon. Season 6 runner-up Blake Lewis joins the already large list of dropped Idols which include winners Rubben Studdard and Taylor Hicks and the runner-up Katharine McPhee. Blake Lewis, who released AudioDayDream in December has been dropped by Arista Records for poor album sales and for not scoring a charting single. It's sad, absolutely. His last shot at sales revival was during his live performance of his single "How Many Words" at American Idol during the past season... which resulted in no acceptance. If I'm to make a prediction... the next dropped Idol will be Season 6's finalist Phil Stacey who is currently signed to Lyric Street and released a country album that made a debut at #43 and has only old about 30,000 copies in total.Although these Idols are being dropped, we can expect new sure-to-be hit albums by Season 5's Kellie Pickler who will release her sophomore album in September and season 7's winner David Cook, who will release his major-label debut album this fall.
