It's Not Over...

And then, while wiping the sweat off his brow, he adds, “You know, I’m glad. I need the rest.”

That is exactly how I feel about the end of this season of “American Idol”…

I’ll still be here keeping you up-to-date on TV appearances, chart news, release dates, tour information and MUCH more, so I hope you’ll keep checking back…
