Although she was the first semifinalist to be discarded during the seventh season of Idol, Amy Davis took everything in stride and has continued to pursue a career in music.
Even though the former Maxim.com "hometown hottie" was not able to make a memorable mark with her rendition of "Where the Boys Are," Amy is making an impression on fans of Christmas music by contributing her version of "The First Noel" to the Idol compilation American Christmas. The album will be out on Tues., Nov. 25 courtesy of Chenoa Records and EMI/Capitol and is available to pre-order on Amazon.com.
In the meantime, Amy has four covers up on her official music MySpace page including Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" and "Patty Griffin's "Heavenly Day."
On her MySpace she wrote that she is currently working on writing more material and has a video of her performance at Cinescape's "Christmas in August" celebration embedded on the page. Whether or not you liked her on the show, it would serve you well to check out what she's currently up to and how she sounds in the studio.

Keeping up with Alexis Stone Lopez
Idol's first season introduced Americans to many different talents, one of whom was Alexis Lopez, the perky, 17-year-old from Modesto, Calif.
Alexis, who now goes by her full name, Alexis Stone Lopez, has undergone a striking change since her debut in 2002. She now sports a black hairdo and is into rock music, as evidenced by two of her tracks on her iLike profile: "In the Path of the Fire" and "Don't Call It Love."
In June, Alexis recorded music with Season 7 finalist Amy Davis for a segment on the Canadian reality television series Reality Obsessed. The segment was filmed at MetroStudios in Los Angeles, Calif.
Alexis will have two tracks on the upcoming re-release of the Idol compilation album American Christmas. It will be released in stores nationwide on Chenoa Records/EMI Music Publishing on Nov. 25.

Predictable boots make for an uneventful 'Idol'
This season's Idol crew lost four of their own last night, with three of them being completely predictable. Only 18-year-old Colton Berry's departure could be considered somewhat of a remote jolt, but compared to seasons past it should not have come as a shock. Berry's "Suspicious Minds" could not even measure up to season 5's Chris Daughtry, which also resulted in his boot.
As for Amy Davis, Garrett Haley and Joanne Borgella, none of them delivered showstoppers, with Davis being the universally-agreed upon dud of the bunch.
On another note, MSNBC.com's Craig Berman picked up on an interesting trend - the fact that the ages of contestants is a factor in how long they last on Idol, but it is different depending on their sex. Berman said:
"The need to sing well every night and pick songs that aren’t exceptionally dull was the night’s big theme, but the results also conformed to a larger trend that’s been a constant in previous seasons. Older men and younger women tend to be the ones who stick around to the end, while younger men and older women have a harder time sticking around."If you think about, this most definitely holds true. How old were the winners when they all won? Kelly was 20, Ruben 25, Fantasia 19, Carrie 21, Taylor 29 and Jordin 17. Just goes to show Carly Smithson might not make it as far as most assume, though Michael Johns should be encouraged by this
