American Idol 5 champ Taylor Hicks once again will face off against runner-up Katharine McPhee — as well as Kellie Pickler — when all three singers’ albums go on sale Nov. 14, Variety reports. Not only is this the first time Idol finalists have shared a release date, but all three involved are crooning for RCA Music Group. For McPhee fans, mid-November may be the next chance they get to hear her sing, seeing as that pesky laryngitis/bronchitis still has her sitting out the American Idols Live summer tour. Kat went online (at KatharineFans.com) to try to dispel talk that she’s missing the entire circuit, writing, "I can assure you that [rumor] is completely false. I am looking to join the tour around [July] 21st."

I say Taylor will sell the most followed closely behind by Kellie and no where in sight will be McPriss.
But all I want to know is when will Chris’ album come out?
UPDATE:
This fall will be full of Idol-related releases. So far, we have:
- Sept. 12, Mario Vazquez (first album) fail
- Sept. 19, Clay Aiken (third album) hit
- Sept. 26, Ruben Studdard (third album) fail
- Oct. 17, Fantasia (second album) fail
- Nov. 14, Taylor Hicks, Katharine McPhee, Kellie Pickler (first albums) hit, fail, hit
- early 2007, Kelly Clarkson (third album) hit
Reality Blurred
I added my predictions. Why would any label want to release either Fantasia or Ruben, both are so destined to do nothing.
