Season 6's Top 20 semifinalist Alaina Alexander was never able to stand out amongst a crowded field back in 2007, but she is taking her subsequent career one step at a time.
In addition to manning her own official music MySpace page, Alaina also has a YouTube account where she features intimate performances of original songs like "Sunday Afternoon" and "Sunshine."
Alaina has been out performing in more places than just her bedroom. She has appeared at Los Angeles-area club venues to perform with fellow Idol semifinalist Amanda Avila (Season 3) such as the song "Ode to LA."
On the recording front, Alaina has three songs including "Bad Name," "Believe" and "How I Feel," featured on the second volume of Curtain Call - New Songs from Past American Idol Finalists, which is available on iTunes.

Keeping up with Jon Peter Lewis
Jon Peter Lewis, the eighth-place finisher on American Idol: Season 3, has accomplished quite a bit since his run on the show ended in April 2004. Famously referred to as having the look of a "pen salesman" and "the personality of a mouse" by judge Simon Cowell, JPL released his debut album Stories from Hollywood on Nov. 7, 2006 on indie label Authentic Records. Although the album struggled to reach 1,000 copies sold, JPL will release a follow-up this spring produced by Chris Garcia (Santana, Jewel).
Three of JPL's tracks from Hollywood ("Boy Next Door," "Gypsy Queen" and "Man from Amsterdam") were featured on Audio Bee's Curtain Call: New Songs from Past American Idol Finalists, Vol. 1 compilation, which was released to iTunes on Feb. 5, 2008.
JPL now has his new single "Breaking the Silence" up on his MySpace page.
