Keeping up with Ace Young

Since placing seventh on season five of American Idol, Ace Young has laid the foundations of a musician's career. After releasing his debut single "Scattered" to iTunes in Oct. 2006, Young co-wrote "It's Not Over," the No. 4 debut single of fellow Idol alum Chris Daughtry's band Daughtry. Young was nominated for a Grammy Award for the writing credential.

Young is now assembling his debut album, and he addressed his fans in a vlog late last month on the album's progress, which can be viewed below. A snippet of his new single "Addicted" is now up on his MySpace page.
