Colton Dixon  said he was definitely going the Christian route with his music. He has been in talks but nothing has been decided yet, as far as a record deal. He has written over 11 songs since the show ended. He has three solos. One popular one from the show (he asked fans which was their favorite, my money is on “Piano Man”), one rock song that wasn’t done on the show but everyone should know it, and one song we have never heard. I asked if it was an original and he could neither confirm not deny. No duets for him, he seemed relieved.  But he’s looking forward to the group songs! ‘They are so much fun.”  He’s really into the cheese!

Also, Colton mentions that each of the Top 10 will design their own piece of jewelry for merch, with proceeds going to a charity of the Idol’s choice.

Skylar Laine has two solos, both upbeat. I believe she said they were both from the show. I asked about the trio, with Jessica and Hollie. that was talked about online. It ended up becoming a duet between her and one of those other girls (she would not name which) because it was not working out. She’s been writing and will be recording some demos to “shop around.” Poor girl had been up since 1:30am, she was exhausted.  After the tour, she wants to take a relaxing vacation. She plans to take her guitar and her phone on tour. She won’t be playing guitar in concert, but does plan to take some lesson’s with the band’s guitarist!

    It sounds like my girl Skylar is not getting signed. Such bullshit, she is more likely to be a star than anybody else in the top ten. I am the most curious about her career next to Josh and Jess, so I’m really hoping things work out for her.

    Good to hear Skylar’s hustling to write and demo songs to shop around. I’d love to hear some originals from her one way or the other and hope 19 at least picks up an option to release an EP from her.

    I’ll put money both of these two get some kind of deal. Period.

    is this show shorter than usual or something? seems like 5th place should get more than two solos

    If I remember correctly, 5th place last year just got 2 solos. I’m petty sure 4th place got 2 solos. 3rd and 6th places got 2 solos and a duet. 7th place got one solo. 8th and 9th – well, I’m not going there. :)

    Ooh, do you have a link?  That’s sounds about right to me.  I think 19R is taking those 4 on and are lining up label deals for them

    And Colton has a demo today – so I’m super excited! Even though there isn’t a duet with Colton and Skylar on Tour, I do think they sounded great together and wished there was.
