American Idol - The Season Four Rematch
Here’s a little Idol irony for my fellow American Idol addicts. It seems that the two finalists who battled for the Idol title in Season Four are up against each other again - but two years later, the contest isn’t nearly as close as it was then.
Season Four winner Carrie Underwood and runner-up Bo Bice both have albums out this week - and both are much anticipated follow-ups to their hit debut discs. Yes, calling Bo’s debut CD a “hit” might be a stretch, but Bo did have moderate success on MTV and radio with his single “The Real Thing” - not even close to being the best track on that CD, but I am getting off track…
And Carrie - well, her first record went 6x platinum, making her a genuine crossover success, a la Shania Twain. If Carrie’s new CD “Carnival Ride” sells as well, Shania might be shining up her country crown to pass along to young Carrie. I bet Mutt Lange would have something to say about that.
As for Bo, I hear he has a new band, and has returned to his musical roots on the new disc, which is called “See The Light“, and it is only available at Wal-Mart and iTunes.
So if you had to choose all over again - who would be your favorite Season Four Idol? If you need a little help deciding, you can watch both new music videos for their latest singles at Yahoo! Music:
