Once again there was not a ton of interest in the selection of alums pitted against each other as 9th-place finalists received very few votes in the latest round of IDOL LIVE's 2010 edition of the poll of the week champion series.
Pulling out in front was Season 7's Ramiele Malubay, who nabbed 33% of all 24 votes cast, which came out to eight whole votes for the singer of Filipina descent. These eight votes were enough to put Ramiele comfortably ahead of the next best finisher, as Megan Joy of Season 8 only managed five votes (20%), followed by Mandisa of Season 5 with her four votes (16%).
Other than those mentioned above, there wasn't much else to sing about regarding this week's results. In the next round, readers will be asked which 8th-place finalist is their favorite of all nine seasons. Voting will be open for exactly one week.
Jim Verraros 0 (0%)
Corey Clark 0 (0%)
Camile Velasco 2 (8%)
Nikko Smith 0 (0%)
Mandisa 4 (16%)
Gina Glocksen 2 (8%)
Ramiele Malubay 8 (33%)
Megan Joy 5 (20%)
Andrew Garcia 3 (12%)
Total votes: 24

Flashback: Camile Velasco's "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road"
Back on Idol's third season Camile Velasco took on Jasmine Trias in the "battle of the pretty Hawaian girls," and as Top 9 week demonstrated the competition was only big enough for one of them. As a result, Camile's version of "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" during Elton John week ended up being her swan song while Jasmine narrowly escaped elimination. Watch the performance below:
Camile gave it her best but the song was too much of a storm for her to weather, and Simon's brutal critique was totally appropriate. Still, Camile has the perfect voice for an R&B career, and hopefully she will be able to make it in the industry sometime soon.

Poll of the week: Ramiele takes the 9th-place prize no contest
For the third week in a row, a Season 7 alum has been deemed the winner of the IDOL LIVE poll of the week for its championship series. This comes as a bit of a surprise, especially considering the strength of Megan Joy Corkrey's fan presence in polls held during the most recent season.
Ramiele Malubay led things off with 33 votes, good for 50% of the entire take for this round. Megan was up next with 15 votes (23%), which was a little bit weaker than expected as noted above. The only other alum worth mentioning is Mandisa, whose nine votes earned her 13% of the poll's total.
In the next installment of IDOL LIVE's poll of the week champion series, readers are asked which 8th-place finalist is their favorite of all eight seasons. Voting will be open for exactly one week.
Jim Verraros 0 (0%)

'Idol' odds 'n ends: Davids finish their albums
The following are Idol-related odds and ends that happened this week:
>David Cook (or at least his Web Nerds) put a vlog up on his official site on Wednesday to let fans know that the album, set for a Nov. 18 release, is completed and will be going to press in the next few days. He referenced the backdrop of Times Square in NYC as he reminded fans of his first live performance with his band, which will take place on Saturday Night Live on Nov. 1.
>Not to be outdone, David Archuleta also notified fans of the completion of his debut album, due out Nov. 11, in a blog entry on his official music MySpace page. In the blog entry he also let fans know that he's been eating too much.
>Nikki McKibbin told Us Weekly that Simon drove her to drink and do drugs while on Idol. She told the magazine:
"I had never been told I wasn't good enough. Having to hear it for so many weeks from Simon Cowell killed me inside. I couldn't get the s--t he had said to me out of my head.">Camile Velasco was scheduled to release her new single, "Guava Jelly," to iTunes on Tuesday, but it is still missing. In addition to the non-release, her single is nowhere to be found on her official music MySpace page.
>Idol has now produced 200 #1s on Billboard charts, all beginning with Kelly Clarkson's "A Moment Like This" back in 2002.

Keeping up with Camile Velasco
After covering "Hangin' On" while signed to Universal/Mowtown Records, Camile performed at many west coast events. She left the record label in 2006, but continued to perform and even was featured in the Black Eyed Peas' video for their song "Bebot."
Camile posted a new song on her MySpace one week ago called "Open Up," which is possible a single from her upcoming debut album. She also has started a channel on YouTube called camileTV, and even covered Alicia Keys' "No One" in one of the webisodes, which can be viewed below.
