Season six Idols begin recording debut albums - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

American Idol's season six winner Jordin Sparks and first runner-up Blake Lewis are hitting the studios to record their individual debut albums. With possible release dates as early as Thanksgiving, America will learn soon enough if the latest batch of Idols are "turkeys" or not.

Jordin said, "I'm trying to mix everything together. I'm loving all the songs I'm recording, so hopefully that will come off the album when you listen to it and you'll be able to feel the emotion."
Blake described his album, Audio Daydream (ADD), as "your favourite 80s mix tape - very inspired by Michael Jackson, Prince, Erasure, Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, the Cure. It's all over the map, really - very influenced by 80s hip-hop, old school breaks, whatever."

Both Jordin and Blake were automatically signed with Sony BMG when they placed in the final two of this year's Idol. The remaining season six finalists -- Melinda Doolittle, LaKisha Jones, Chris Richardson, Phil Stacey, Sanjaya Malakar, Haley Scarnato, Gina Glocksen, Chris Sligh, Stephanie Edwards, and Brandon Rogers -- are still waiting to learn if they'll be signed to recording deals.

As reported earlier here, semifinalists Sundance Head and Sabrina Sloan signed a contract with Universal Motown and are recording a CD of duets together which also should be available in late November.

Jordin's getting signed to Jive Records, which is a first for any Idol contestant, and Blake's being signed to Arista. I hope Chris Richardson, Melinda, Gina, and Phil get record deals, but I wanna see everyone from this season succeed. Can't wait for Jordin and Blake's CDs to get out.

i didnt really like it at first, but i listened to it a few more times and now i think its fun and catchy. its not AMAZINGLY written but it's good for a debut single and it's a fun little catchy pop song.

I can't wait to hear Blake's debut single.
