Idol 'also-rans'

[Shawn]

Mike Bell from the Calgary Sun has a pretty good article here. He reviews some of the cd offerings from the people that didn't win Idol, but thought they should release an album anyway.

excerpt:

You put 'em in the drawer and they multiply.

Not like rabbits -- bunnies are cute. More like cockroaches. Or vermin. Bunny-eating vermin.

But they're worse than that. They're Idol CDs.

If it was only the winners, it might be bearable.

But no. Remember that guy who sang that song on the second episode of season one who was on TV for 13 seconds?

Yup. He's got one.

And he sent it to me.

Here's a look at five of the other discs released during the latest Idol infestation. (Please note: no ratings have been assigned because that would only denigrate the entire system.)
