American Idol

Watching American Idol is sometimes like taking a walk down memory lane. Current contestants sing the hits of former contestants. Judges compare the singers to those that came before. Sometimes former winners make special appearances to present their newest hit song. Now that your finals are ending, you might enjoy the performances of the Final Five this month, leading to the grand finale.  These CDs from the Music Collection feature American Idol alums:

  1. Okay, I was nervous to hear this album. I LOVED her debut and I love So Small but sometimes artists just fail on Sophomore albums. Okay, that is so not the case here. She is amazing! She knows just the right songs that suit her. If you are a fan of Carrie my biggest recommendation is to go get this album. Easily one of my favorites. Every song is amazing and it showcases her voice perfectly.
