It wasn't even a contest for the latest round of IDOL LIVE's poll of the week champion series for 2010, as perennial favorite David Archuleta destroyed all eight fellow runners-up for the weeklong voting period.
Arch earned 545 of all 567 votes cast over the week, good for 100% (even though the poll itself says his total stands at 96% - something is obviously awry). Surprisingly, not even Adam Lambert's fans spent time on the poll. Let's see if Arch's fans can repeat in two weeks when he faces off in the champion series final against all other winners from each round.
In the next round (the second-to-last, by the way), readers will be asked which winner is their favorite of all nine seasons. Voting will be open for exactly one week.
Justin Guarini 1 (0%)
Clay Aiken 4 (0%)
Diana DeGarmo 2 (0%)
Bo Bice 2 (0%)
Katharine McPhee 4 (0%)
Blake Lewis 1 (0%)
David Archuleta 545 (96%)
Adam Lambert 4 (0%)
Crystal Bowersox 4 (0%)
Total votes: 567

Adam Lambert's sales in comparison
Now that final first week sales are in for Adam Lambert's debut album, let's take a look at how his numbers stack up against the sales and chart positions on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart of the seven previous runners-up.
First Week Sales - Runners-Up
1) Clay Aiken - Measure of a Man (612,859 - #1)
2) Bo Bice - The Real Thing (226,976 - #4)
3) Adam Lambert - For Your Entertainment (198,466 - #3)
4) David Archuleta - David Archuleta (182,927 - #2)
5) Katharine McPhee - Katharine McPhee (115,761 - #2)
6) Blake Lewis - Audio Day Dream (97,500 - #10)
7) Justin Guarini - Justin Guarini (57,000 - #20)
8) Diana DeGarmo - Blue Skies (46,795 - #52)
So when it comes to first week sales, Adam is far and away much better off than the majority of runners-up. When it comes to total sales, though, he has some large shoes to fill but he is also already ahead of where some debut albums from runners-up have placed to date, as evidenced below:
Total Sales - Runners-Up
1) Clay Aiken - Measure of a Man (2.8 million)
2) David Archuleta - David Archuleta (735k)
3) Bo Bice - The Real Thing (672k)
4) Katharine McPhee - Katharine McPhee (378k)
5) Blake Lewis - Audio Day Dream (309k)
6) Adam Lambert - For Your Entertainment (198,466 - #3)
7) Diana DeGarmo - Blue Skies (167k)
8) Justin Guarini - Justin Guarini (143k)
It is a good bet that For Your Entertainment will surpass the total sales of Katharine McPhee and Audio Day Dream by Christmas.

Poll of the week: 'David Archuleta' still favorite runner-up album
It was a wash in the most recent edition of IDOL LIVE's poll of the week, as readers far and away selected David Archuleta's debut album as the best among Idol runners-up.
David Archuleta stole the competition with 915 votes, or an astounding 93% of all votes cast. This was easily enought to claim the crown over second-place finisher For Your Entertainment by Adam Lambert (39 votes, 3%).
Sadly, three albums by runners-up did not receive a single vote. The other three didn't receive enough votes to warrant a mention.
In this week's edition of the poll of the week, readers are asked which post-Idol debut album from a fourth-place finalist is their favorite. Voting will be open for exactly one week.
'Justin Guarini' (Justin Guarini) 0 (0%)
'Measure of a Man' (Clay Aiken) 13 (1%)
'Blue Skies' (Diana DeGarmo) 0 (0%)
'The Real Thing' (Bo Bice) 9 (0%)
'Katharine McPhee' (Katharine McPhee) 6 (0%)
'Audio Day Dream' (Blake Lewis) 0 (0%)
'David Archuleta' (David Archuleta) 915 (93%)
'For Your Entertainment' (Adam Lambert) 39 (3%)
Votes so far: 982

Poll of the week: Arch has fave album art among runners-up
In the battle between favorite post-Idol debut album cover art from a runner-up, one alum's artwork stood out above the rest.
Leading the way with 420 votes was David Archuleta's debut album, taking in 87% of the total votes cast over the course of the past week.
Far back in second place surprisingly was the cover art for Bo Bice's The Real Thing, which netted just 26 votes (5%). No other voting option was able to attain more than 5% of the total vote.
In this week's edition of the poll of the week, readers are asked which Idol album release they are most looking forward to this holiday season. Voting will be open for exactly one week.
Justin Guarini (Justin Guarini) 1 (0%)
Measure of a Man (Clay Aiken) 6 (1%)

The wedding will take place at a private estate along the Delaware River tomorrow (Sat., Sept. 26).
>Melinda Doolittle and her friend Kelley Norris recorded a "happy birthday" vlog for Ross Matthews of Inside Dish with Ross Matthews, which was embedded on Melinda's official Web site yesterday. Watch the clip below:
Portions of the vlog were incorporated into Matthews' webisode that aired yesterday, where it played alongside birthday messages from people including Perez Hilton and Lydia Tavera of Big Brother fame.
>Some interesting numbers came in for the 2009 "Idols Live!" tour courtesy of alt.tv-americanidol, showing that it grossed a mammoth $30.1 million in total revenue. Other interesting tidbits:
Total Attendance: 483,512It was also interesting to see that the last five cities were sold out (Bridgeport, Portland, Providence, Syracuse, Manchester) and the city with the worst attendance was Vancouver (8,203 of 12,533 [65%]).

Poll of the week: Arch is the #1 No. 2
Keeping with the theme of Season 7's domination, David Archuleta's fans propelled him to a victory in IDOL LIVE's poll of the week champion series for the runner-up portion of the competition.
In fact, "competition" is not the right word to describe this week's voting round, as Arch netted 421 votes, or 89% of all votes cast in the poll. This figure was a little unexpected, and puts the 22 measly votes (4%) Adam Lambert received in the "whimpy" category.
No other contestant deserves a mention in looking at the results, as three took in 1% each and three failed to garner more than four votes. It is worth mentioning, however, that Arch will make one more appearance in the champion poll series of 2009, as he will be back in the finals beginning next Wednesday when we decide who will be the champion of all Idol finalists for the year.
In the last week before the final round of the champion series poll begins, the next installment asks readers which winner is their favorite of all eight seasons. Voting will be open for exactly one week.
Justin Guarini 3 (0%)
Clay Aiken 5 (1%)
Diana DeGarmo 3 (0%)
Bo Bice 4 (0%)
Katharine McPhee 9 (1%)
Blake Lewis 6 (1%)
David Archuleta 421 (89%)
Adam Lambert 22 (4%)
Total votes: 473

'Idol' odds 'n ends: 'Idol' scores two Emmy noms
The following are Idol-related odds and ends that happened this week:
>The nominations for the 61st Emmy Awards were yesterday morning announced in Los Angeles, and Idol once again was nominated in the "Outstanding Reality-Competition Program" category alongside Dancing with the Stars, Top Chef and, of course, The Amazing Race. This is the series' seventh nomination since the category was introduced in 2003.
Ryan Seacrest also received a nom for "Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality-Competition Program." The category is in its second year after being awarded to Survivor's Jeff Probst last year. The Emmys will air at 8 p.m. ET on CBS on Sun., Sept. 20.
>Melinda Doolittle saw her exclusive dance remix EP of her single "It's Your Love" quietly released to iTunes on Tuesday, as it was overshadowed by major Idol releases from Daughtry and Brooke White. Per Melinda's official newsletter that alerted fans to the news:The soulful and moving song "It's Your Love" gets reworked by some of the hottest remixers/DJs in the world, including Jason Nevins, Mike Rizzo, and Smashmode, to create a pulsating rendition of the song that will be sure to get everyone out of their seats. The EP features three club versions of each track, as well as two radio remixes and a free bonus copy of the original music video for the song.
The newsletter also stated that the radio remix done by Jason Nevins will be sent to Top 40 radio at the end of July.
>Playbill.com announced that Diana DeGarmo will be joining the cast of the off-Broadway musical The Toxic Avenger on Fri., Aug. 14. In a statement, Diana said the following of the show:"I am so excited to be coming back to New York to join the cast of The Toxic Avenger. When I saw the show, I laughed my head off. I can’t wait to start rehearsal – and to be blonde again!"
Diana will star as Sarah, a "sexy blind librarian" for at least three months. The show plays at New World Stages in Manhattan.
>SketchedOutTV.com, the ridiculous brainchild of Justin Guarini and Shaun Ingram, had its latest vlog posted yesterday. The vlog, titled "Sketchy Blog #3," features Justin and Shaun talking about putting our fires and something about a fish. Watch the vlog below:
A GIF of a pad of paper tackling a pair of scissors talking to two girls titled "Pad's Revenge!" was also posted. Who needs to sing for a living when you can post this kind of stuff on the net?
>Kris Allen will no longer be performing his atrocious "corny-n"ation song "No Boundaries" on the "Idols Live!" tour. According to an article posted on LATimesBlogs.com's "'Idol' Tracker":
Reviews of Season 8's finale show widely trashed the victory number and the chilly reception has followed "Boundaries" onto the road. In reviews of the tour, "Boundaries" has been singled out as a misstep, generating a tepid crowd response compared with the other numbers.The song that Kris has chosen to replace "No Boundaries" is The Killers' "All These Things That I've Done," which he premiered at the Sacramento show on Fri., July 10. Watch the performance below:
The tour's producers have been listening to the sound of few hands clapping. Starting tonight in Sacramento, "No Boundaries" will be disappear from Allen's set, according to sources with the production.
The tour will next stop in Ontario, Canada, where the Top 10 finalists will perform at the Citizens Business Bank Arena.

Justin Guarini writes song for 'New Moon' soundtrack
Justin Guarini has thrown his hat into the ring for landing an original song on the soundtrack of the upcoming Twilight: New Moon, the sequel to the mega successful box office smash based on the series by Stephenie Meyer. The song he wrote is called "I Can't Live" and was co-written by Nashville's Tammy Hyler and Shaye Smith. Listen to the song below:
It certainly sounds like something that would appear on the first soundtrack, so that increases its chances of making the cut for the second one. Justin is not the only artist to be pumped about possibly having a song on the soundtrack, as artists like Selena Gomez and Madonna have been asked about recording original material for it.
To add to it all, Justin's chief rival on the first season of the show, Kelly Clarkson, was asked by fans about wanting to have a song on the soundtrack while she was in Holland, and she actually said "Cry" could work well on the soundtrack.
Wouldn't it be something if both of them could claim a track on the soundtrack?

Newsflash: 'Idol' group performances really are lipped
It was revealed today by a spokesman for Idol that (brace yourselves) *gasp* the group performances on the results shows use a pre-recorded track and requires the finalists to lip-synch. This confirms what many fans have suspected beginning a few weeks back. Per an article that was published on FOXNews.com, the spokesman said:
“Due to extensive choreography and to balance their voices with open mics against a screaming audience, the Idols do sing along to their own prerecorded vocal track during the group performances only," a rep for the show told "The New York Times," reiterating that all of the solo performances were 100 percent live.
This makes Justin Guarini look especially good, because the TV Guide Channel host is the person closest to the show that first pointed it out publicly when he told his Idol Wrap co-host Kimberly Caldwell:
"Every single year, we cannot stand the group performances. I know they can't stand it either. And I think what makes [the group performances] even worse now is that they're lip-synced. They're really prerecorded now."
So what's the story here? That Idol lied by trying to cover up the obvious? Big deal, very little about this show is "real" anymore. Each year it becomes more professional and loses its luster, and this season is no different.

Arista Nashville KO's KLC
In what has to be one of the quickest turnarounds for an Idol alum to be signed and dropped, Kristy Lee Cook has been shown the door at Arista Nashville for the second time.
After being signed in June, Kristy Lee released a second album (she had previously been signed before her time on Idol) with the label's "help" but it never really caught on, and her single "15 Minutes of Shame" barely registered any airplay. Five-and-a-half months later, it looks like she might have to pursue another line of work unless a competing label wants to go out on a limb and pick her up. But in the current music climate, that appears unlikely.
Some other quick Idol drops are as follows (specific dates are when the news of a signing/dropping was made public):
>Blake Lewis: signed Aug. 24, 2007, dropped June 2008 (9.5 months)
>Phil Stacey: signed Oct. 2007, dropped Nov. 21, 2008 (11 months)
>Justin Guarini: signed Oct. 9 2002, dropped Dec. 3, 2003 (14 months)
>Katharine McPhee: signed June 6, 2006, dropped Jan. 11, 2008 (16 months)
>Taylor Hicks: signed May 31, 2006, dropped Jan. 11, 2008 (16.5 months)
Hopefully this is the last drop for a while, but IDOL LIVE is willing to bet Fantasia will be the next to lose her deal.
Kristy Lee's 5.5 months takes the cake in terms of brevity of calling a record label home, and it looks like it may be a while before someone else steals that title away from her.

'Idol' odds 'n ends: Cook stars in Season 8 ad
The following are Idol-related odds and ends that happened this week:
>FOX launched a one-minute ad on television promoting the eighth season of Idol, which began running yesterday. The ad features David Cook and his "sweet dreams" of victory in addition to including a clip of "Light On" playing in the background.
>Four Idol alums will perform on the CBS Saturday Early Show tomorrow morning at 8 a.m. Chikezie, David Hernandez, Diana DeGarmo and Kimberley Locke will perform a song from their Christmas concert that kicked off today in Milwaukee.
>Eight Idol alums will band together to tour the nation in the IDOL Mania Live concert series. The tour kicks off Sat., Dec. 6 at the Ed Smith Stadium in Sarasota, Fla. On the tour will be: Blake Lewis, Gina Glocksen, Justin Guarini, LaKisha Jones, Melissa McGhee, Mikalah Gordon, Rickey Smith and Vonzell Solomon.
>David Archuleta's AOL Sessions were added to AOL Music on Wednesday. In his sessions he performs "Crush," "A Little Too Not Over You," "Touch My Hand," "My Hands" and You Can."
>Clay Aiken appeared on Rosie O'Donnell's new variety show Rosie Live on Wednesday, when it premiered with a less-than-stellar audience of five million viewers. In their segment they discussed "things they had in common."

Arch's sales in comparison
Now that final first week sales are in for David Archuleta's debut album, let's take a look at how his numbers stack up against the sales and chart positions on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart of the six previous runners-up.
First Week Sales - Runners-Up
1) Clay Aiken - Measure of a Man (612,859 - #1)
2) Bo Bice - The Real Thing (226,976 - #4)
3) David Archuleta - David Archuleta (182,927 - #2)
4) Katharine McPhee - Katharine McPhee (115,761 - #2)
5) Blake Lewis - Audio Day Dream (97,500 - #10)
6) Justin Guarini - Justin Guarini (57,000 - #20)
7) Diana DeGarmo - Blue Skies (46,795 - #52)
So when it comes to first week sales, Arch is sitting in pretty good company especially considering the current state of the economy and the trend in declining album sales.
Total Sales - Runners-Up
1) Clay Aiken - Measure of a Man (2.8 million)
2) Bo Bice - The Real Thing (688k)
3) Katharine McPhee - Katharine McPhee (375k)
4) Blake Lewis - Audio Day Dream (304k)
5) David Archuleta - David Archuleta (183k)
6) Diana DeGarmo - Blue Skies (167k)
7) Justin Guarini - Justin Guarini (143k)
Again, Arch's debut is already off to a good start, as it should easily pass the totals of Audio Day Dream and Katharine McPhee by Christmas.

'Idol' odds 'n ends: Diana, Eric the Midget & Stern unite!
The following are Idol-related odds and ends that happened this week:
>It was a grand ol' time when Diana DeGarmo, Eric the Midget and Howard Stern all met together in Stern's studio on his Sirius satellite radio program on Mon., Nov. 3. This was the first meeting of the three all in person, and the first time Diana was able to respond to the incessant talk about her between Eric and Stern and his crew that has carried on for the past two years. Watch a clip of the exchange on HowardTV.
>It was announced this week that the two-hour premiere of the eighth season of Idol (already?) will be Tues., Jan 13 at 8 p.m. ET. Can't wait.
>Carrie Underwood made the cover of Elle magazine for the Dec. 2008 issue. In the issue, Carrie apologizes for the comments she made about ex-boyfriend Tony Romo, saying she's "just not about drama...at all." Not to be outdone, Carly Smithson and Michael Johns had a photo shoot in the same issue.
>Justin Guarini will fulfill the token Idol alum on the third season of CMT's Gone Country. Following the shadow of Diana DeGarmo (Season 1) and Mikalah Gordon (Season 2), Justin will appear with such has-beens as Taylor Dayne, former Miss USA Tara Connor and George Clinton. The season premieres in January 2009.
>Chris Daughtry will be one of many celebrities to appear at Alicia Keys' annual Black Ball fund-raiser in New York City on Thurs., Nov. 13. The benefit will raise money for the Keep a Child Alive foundation.

'Idol' odds 'n ends: LaKisha to wed
The following are Idol-related odds and ends that happened this week:
>Following on the heels of Jennifer Hudson, LaKisha Jones will wed her fiance, Larry Davis, on Sun., Oct. 5 in Beverly Hills, Calif. Fellow Season 6 alums Melinda Doolittle and Gina Glocksen will also attend.
>Carrie Underwood will co-host the 42nd annual CMA Awards on Wed., Nov. 12, with Brad Paisley. Carrie will perform and is nominated for Female Vocalist of the Year while her album Carnival Ride is nominated for Album of the Year. The awards will air on ABC at 8 p.m.

>The third season of American Idol Rewind premiered last Saturday with Season 3's New York auditions. This season of Rewind combines the third and fourth seasons of Idol.
>Justin Guarini announced on his weekly online radio show that he got engaged to his girlfriend, Reina Capodici, at Walt Disney World. They are planning a June 2009 wedding.
RCA pulling out all the stops for "Light On"
It would appear that the RCA Records of old has died and returned as a Jive Records clone, or at least a less-experienced, more clumsy version of the fellow Sony BMG label. RCA, which has been responsible for three Justin Guarini's for every Kelly Clarkson, is determined to have David Cook succeed, and so it is stopping at nothing to get his lead single, "Light On," good press.
Starting two days ago, the front page ad for Nickelback's new single "Gotta Be Somebody" was inexplicably replaced with an ad for "Light On," which comes in addition to a large banner ad and a thumbnail ad on the Pop section's main page. Also on the iTunes front, a mass e-mail was sent out yesterday to all purchasers of Cook's "The Time of My Life" single as a recommendation to purchase "Light On" among other things. And the label's final iTunes tactic comes in the form of a blog post on Cook's official site giving explicit instructions on how to gift the track to other users in order to increase sales.
Similarly on Amazon.com, an e-mail was sent out to the retailer's customers that have purchased downloads on its mp3 store by other Idol alums like Jordin Sparks and Daughtry encouraging them to buy "Light On."
Now, there is nothing wrong with a label trying to promote its artists and their material, especially during its first week of release. But RCA's actions are very inconsistent with what they have been known to do in the past. It is not even a disappointment considering "Light On" is currently #4 on the Top 100 overall songs chart on iTunes considering the amount of competition that was released on the same day. But for some reason, RCA is coming off a bit desperate at this point and there is no real valid reason for it.
Regardless of how many downloads "Light On" sells this week, the single should still have a good shot at longevity considering it has yet to even be sent to radio. It is just interesting to see this new side of RCA. Where was it for Diana DeGarmo, Bo Bice and Katharine McPhee?

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.

Blake Lewis dropped by label
Idol's track record for churning out success stories is slowly skewing more negative than positive, and now Blake Lewis is the latest casualty. Blake, who was runner-up on Season 6, announced in an interview with internet radio show Maximum Threshold that he was let go by his label, Arista Records, two days ago. Blake is now the fastest Idol alum to be let go from his contract, as he was signed only last August. Season 1's runner-up Justin Guarini was at least able to last more than one year with his contract. Blake joins other alums recently let go like Taylor Hicks, Katharine McPhee and Ruben Studdard.
