So, this is sort of like a post season 8 pimpage thread.

I'm wondering about the material that Kris and Adam will have for their albums.

I've read in the past that the labels sometimes take the albums out of the artists hands and just assign them songs that they will sing--songs that may not fit the artist whatsoever and may just be a means of taking care of previous contractual obligations with songwriters. Some examples that come to mind:

Kelly Clarkson was told to record a song that Lindsey Lohan had recorded. (I think she refused to do it, can't recall now).

Bo Bice--how else do you explain his debut album? Still a travesty -- material Clive and the producers saddled Bo with was nothing like the Bo we knew on the show. I think I played that album one time before shaking my head and putting it away, never to be heard again.

Diana DeGarmo said in an interview this year that she had no role in picking out the material for her debut album. They just told her the songs she was to sing, period.

Danny looks to be the most vulnerable so far because he was talking about an R&B album with Latin influences as the album he wanted to create...and it appears he's being steered to Nashville if he wants the 19/Sony album. He did do Rascal Flatts song on the show and there is word is he doing a Rascal Flatts song on tour. He gospel-ized You Are So Beautiful. I can understand the Nashville push for Danny.
