Coming in fourth place on "American Idol" isn’t so bad. Chris Daughtry, who was voted off the Fox talent contest’s fifth edition in an elimination round, has signed with music mogul Clive Davis in conjunction with 19 Recordings Unlimited, the label managed by "Idol" creator Simon Fuller, RCA Records announced Monday.
The 26-year-old North Carolina native will form a band "and has already begun to work with A-list collaborators" to write and record material for an album, expected to be released later this year.Daughtry turned down an offer to be lead singer for the band Fuel last month. His raspy vocals can be heard on the "American Idol: Season Five" compilation CD, which features his popular cover of Bon Jovi’s "Wanted Dead or Alive."

I can’t wait to buy this album! Bet you a K-Fed penny that he will sell more albums than Taylor Hicks and McPriss.

Katharine McPhee is working so hard on her debut album that she’ s hurting her voice, and sources tell TMZ that FOX is none too happy about it.
In fact, the "American Idol" runner-up has such severe brochitis and laryngitis that she missed the opening night of the Idols summer tour.Kat has been ordered by her doctor to give her pipes "total voice rest," and has had to give a vow of complete silence until she’s better. FOX sources tell TMZ that McPhee has also been complaining about touring, and wants to focus more on laying tracks down in the studio.
Such a shame straining her voice for an album that will not sell.
