Seeming to take a breather this week was Adam Lambert, whose "If I Had You" held steady at #32 for the second week in a row. Carrie Underwood's "Undo It" continued its downward trend, however, as it was off five spots to #61.
Fantasia's "Bittersweet" started to make more headway after falling back a few spots last week, advancing #82-74. And Daughtry's "September" moved ahead five spots to #80.

'Idol' odds 'n ends: Fantasia dishes on suicide attempt on 'GMA'
The following are Idol-related odds and ends that happened this week:
>For the first time since her botched suicide attempt, Fantasia spoke out about the ordeal when she appeared on Good Morning America on Tuesday to promote the release of her latest album, Back to Me. In her interview with Robin Roberts, Fantasia said she "just wanted to be away from the noise." Watch the interview below:

Daughtry also performed "Feels Like Tonight" for the television audience during the set.
>Kelly Clarkson recently teased about a big duet with an act people have been wanting her to record with for ages, but for now fans will just have to settle for her being featured on a track with Jason Aldean. Per USAToday.com's "Idol Chatter":
The new album from country singer Jason Aldean will feature a duet with Kelly Clarkson called Don't You Wanna Stay.Don't You Wanna Stay is due out Nov. 2, which more than likely will be before Kelly's latest disc hits retail and digital outlets.

Adam Lambert's latest single "If I Had You" finally surpassed Carrie Underwood's leggy "Undo It," as the former rose 12 spots to #42 while the latter slid nine spots to #45. This is the first time since the week of June 12 that "Undo It" has not led artists from the franchise.
Continuing to make strides thanks to recent publicity was Fantasia's "Bittersweet," which was up #90-79 ahead of her album release today. And Daughtry's latest single "September" was up three spots to #91.

'Idol' Hot 100: Carrie Underwood's "Undo It" #36 (8/21/10)
It was no surprise that Carrie Underwood once again led the charge, with her single "Undo It" sliding 10 spots to #36.
The single that looks to be the heir apparent of "Undo It," Adam Lambert's "If I Had You," inched ahead two spots to #54. Fantasia also saw her current single make headway up the chart, possibly due to her OD controversy last week. "Bittersweet" was up #94-90.
To add to things, Daughtry's "September" debuted on the Hot 100 at #94.

Carrie Underwood's "Undo It" finally cooled off this week as evidenced but the track's two-spot drop to #26. Adam Lambert, on the other hand, saw his "If I Had You" spurt ahead 13 spots to #56 on the heels of increased airplay.
Fantasia's "Bittersweet" seems to be following in the footsteps of Kelly Clarkson's "All I Ever Wanted," as the former rose just one spot to #94 on the chart. Expect it to start going backwards relatively soon.
On the Bubbling Under chart, however, Daughtry held on with an 11-spot jump to #2 for latest single "September." Expect a debut on the main chart by this time next week.

Sony Music Group responds to the end of its relationship with 'Idol'
With all the hullabaloo going on around the judges that will be pulling up a chair at the table next beginning at auditions this month, many have been overlooking the developments on the music release and distribution front, which for Sony Music Group ended abruptly following an eight-year relationship.
After letting Simon Fuller and 19 Entertainment do most of the talking on the issue, Sony had the following to say:
"After enjoying a successful relationship, Sony Music Entertainment wishes Simon Fuller and 19 Entertainment well in this transitional period for the 'American Idol' franchise. We look forward to continuing our relationships with the many artists on the Sony Music roster who have graduated from the 'American Idol' system, including Kelly Clarkson, Daughtry, Carrie Underwood, Fantasia, David Cook, Adam Lambert, Kellie Pickler, Jordin Sparks and David Archuleta among others and we are excited for the upcoming albums later this fall from Season 9's winner and runner-up Lee DeWyze and Crystal Bowersox."
I guess Kris Allen and Allison Iraheta were either dropped or they're covered under "among others." It's not surprising the quote didn't name Blake Lewis, Bo Bice, Clay Aiken, Diana DeGarmo, Justin Guarini and Katharine McPhee and Taylor Hicks.
As for the beneficiary of SMG's demise, Universal Music Group, they understandably seem to be singing a happier tune at the moment:
"We like delivering hits and new artists...UMG and 'American Idol' is the right combination at the right time. Pairing the renowned expertise of Simon [Fuller] and Jimmy in developing and marketing musical talent creates a truly winning combination that will allow 'Idol's' artists to realize their fullest potential."
But is this a good bet on Fuller/19E's part? True, it's probably a cheaper deal for them in the long run, but Geffen, Interscope and A&M, while each having their own heavyweights, haven't always been at the forefront of major releases. Time will tell if this deal works in favor of next year's Lee or Crystal.

Chris Daughtry and Kelly Clarkson duet on "Fast Car"
Daughtry fans got a nice surprise Sunday night when Chris brought fellow Idol alum Kelly Clarkson onstage during the band's set at its concert at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena. Watch the two duet on Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car" below:
Daughtry's 18-song set list featured guest appearances by 3 Doors Down's Brad Arnold (on "Whipping Post") and Lifehouse's Jason Wade (on "Home"). I think it would be fair to say that Chris and Kelly are two of the three biggest talent scores that show has and will ever produce.

Tonight's results show proves to be one of the most anticlimactic in recent memory (like on the same level of Season 7).

Everywhere cheer with me now...

Last night showed us that in an overwhelmingly bad season, there are still instances when good vocals shine through. Tonight, however, one finalist must say goodbye. But hey, at least we get to be treated to performances from Daughtry, Bon Jovi and Fantasia (obviously I'm joking about the last one).

IDOL LIVE Blog - Top 4 Perform (5/11/10)
It seems that Season 9 has dragged on for ages by now, but at long last were are down to the Top 4 finalists. They may not necessarily be the best vocalists, but they have earned their spots due to appealing to the widest audience possible. Tonight we see how actor and sometimes singer Jamie Foxx helped the remaining contestant tackle their choices for songs of the cinema.
Plus, we get the bonus of seeing the contenders duet for the first time this season, and predictably, Crystal and Lee will pair up while Mike and Casey will be forced to perform with one another. Grab the popcorn because it's gonna be a fun ride!
As always, please feel free to add your two cents throughout the one-hour blogcast, with coverage starting just prior to 8 p.m. ET.
Tonight's blogcast features the music of Bo Bice, Daughtry, Diana DeGarmo, Kellie Pickler and Michael Johns.

IDOL LIVE Blog - Top 6 Results (4/28/10)
Last night was nice mostly because it didn't run over, but there were also a few decent performances. Maybe it's because we're getting down to the wire and the majority of the cannon fodder are gone? Or maybe it's just the standards have been lowered so much that they have nowhere to go but up? Either way, I'll refrain from complaining.
Tonight we surprisingly cannot expect a performance from this week's mentor, Shania Twain, however Lady Antebellum, Rascal Flatts and...Shakira...will all be there to perform. To see who I predict will be leaving tonight, see here.
Please feel free to add your two cents throughout the one-hour blogcast, with coverage starting just prior to 9 p.m. ET.

'Idol' Hot 100: Adam Lambert's "Whataya Want From Me" #10 (5/1/10)
The single rocketed #23-10 on the chart on the heels of a big Idol week, where Adam served as mentor and musical performer. This is, of course, Adam's first Top 10 hit in addition to being the first Top 10 single by a Season 8 alum.
Up next was Kris Allen's "Live Like We're Dying," which held steady at #30 for the second straight week. Daughtry saw its current release "Life After You" drop 10 spots to #61, which suggest it might depart the chart entirely sooner than later.
It was Carrie Underwood, however, who saw her single suffer the largest drop, as "Temporary Home" was off 18 spots to #73. And then there was Kelly Clarkson, whose "All I Ever Wanted" inched ahead three spots to #96, which could either be the beginning of a lengthy run or a brief appearance.
Full chart positions courtesy of Billboard are posted below:
Hot 100
10 23 Adam Lambert, "Whataya Want From Me"
30 30 Kris Allen, "Live Like We're Dying"

'Idol' Hot 100: Adam Lambert's "Whataya Want From Me" #23 (4/24/10)
Holding at #23 for the second straight week was Adam Lambert's "Whataya Want From." The single will likely see a new peak by this time next week thanks to a big performance on last night's Idol results show.
Falling four spots on the latest chart was Kris Allen's "Live Like We Were Dying," was it landed at #30 on the dot in this go 'round. Also down this week was Daughtry's "Life After You," although it was off a heftier five spots to #51.
Although Carrie Underwood's single "Temporary Home" didn't suffer as steep of a decline this week as it did the previous week, it was still down #52-55. But Kelly Clarkson made things a little bit more exciting, as her latest release "All I Ever Wanted" debuted at #99.

Rickey Minor to announce his departure as 'Idol' band leader tomorrow
But he hadn't received too much screen time this season compared to previous seasons, so it was interesting to see him mentioned tonight. The news that he will be departing at the end of the season, however, helps put this into perspective. It was reported by TMZ earlier today that Rickey will be taking over for Kevin Eubanks as band leader over on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno beginning in June. According to "Ministry of Gossip" over at LATimes.com:
Eubanks told Leno during the taping of Monday night's show that, after 18 years, he was definitely moving on. Conan O'Brien compadre Max Weinberg's name had come up in speculation about who'd get the gig, but Team Leno and Team Coco won't mix that way after all. TMZ says the announcement will be made Wednesday on "Idol."Now the question remains, who will replace Rickey on Idol? Hopefully no one, since that will mean the show will be over and done with. But in all seriousness, I'm willing to bet that former member of Daughtry could give anyone a run for their money.

Fellow country artist Danny Gokey saw his album My Best Days add 9.9k to its total thanks to only 17 more copies than it accrued in the previous week (which explains the 0% increase). It fell #50-61 but has now sold 121k to date.

'Idol' Hot 100: Adam Lambert's "Whataya Want From Me" #23 (4/17/10)
After cracking the Top 20 on last week's chart, Adam Lambert's "Whataya Want From Me" was off three spots to #23. It will probably be back on a positive track following his mentoring sessions and performance her shown on next week's episodes of Idol.
Kris Allen followed suit, as his sole charting song "Live Like We're Dying" was also off three spots to #26. Daughtry's single suffered the second-worst decline, though, as its "Life After You" decreased nine spots to #46.
But it was Carrie Underwood who saw her entry crumble the most, as "Temporary Home" became only her second official single to miss the Top 40. It went backwards #41-52, signaling what is very likely the end of small positive movements on the chart.
Full chart positions courtesy of Billboard are posted below:
Hot 100
23 20 Adam Lambert, "Whataya Want From Me"
26 23 Kris Allen, "Live Like We're Dying"
46 37 Daughtry, "Life After You"
52 41 Carrie Underwood, "Temporary Home"
