A lot of interesting news bits have been hitting the feeds lately on past American Idol contestants; here are a couple of stories that I felt like sharing.
VH1.com has decided to place odds as to who will win the Grammy Award for Best New Artist. American Idol season four winner Carrie Underwood is at 3:1.

When discussing the fact that he either hears that he was robbed of the win or he should have won he says “I’m just gonna be real: I hate hearing it” then continues to go on to say “Get over it, you know, because I’m doing all right.” All right is right; Daughtry’s “Its Not Over” has climbed to number four on the Billboard Hot 100, up from six last week.
