Keeping up with Chris Richardson

The sixth season's Justin Timberlake lookalike, 24-year old Chris Richardson, has been busy prepping his debut album following the "Idols Live!" tour last year. Chris, who placed fifth, released his single "All Alone" in March to iTunes via Chris Richardson Music/Combustion. The song is available to listen to in full on his official music MySpace page along with a 26-second clip of another track called "Guilty." No word yet on when fans can expect the album to be out.

"All Alone" was featured on the American Idol compilation promotional album Edy's Slow Churned Hot Tracks along with fellow alums like Nadia Turner and Constantine Maroulis.

Chris will next perform at The Canal Club in Richmond, Va., on Nov. 5 at 8 p.m. (fellow season 6 alum Blake Lewis will perform there tomorrow).

Keeping up with Nadia Turner

Nadia Turner may have seen her Idol dreams evaporate three years ago, but she is slowly but surely making progress on the music scene. The fourth season's eighth-place finalist is now serving a greater cause - giving back to the troops. Nadia entertained U.S. servicemen and servicewomen this summer in Afghanistan alongside fellow Idol finalists Gina Glocksen, Justin Guarini and Brandon Rogers.

Last year, Nadia starred in a direct-to-DVD film called Lord Help Us, which premiered at the Pan African Film & Arts Festival.

Aside from contributing to charitable causes, Nadia has been at work in the recording studio, as her single "Standing On Love" appeared on the limited edition "Edy's SlowChurned Hot Tracks" album that featured a host of former Idol finalists. She also released "Love" as part of a double single along with "Beautiful Man."

Both tracks are slated to appear on Nadia's upcoming debut album, which has no release date scheduled at the present time.
