American
Idol's Ruben Studdard Dropped by Label
12/20/07
Former American Idol winner Ruben Studdard has been dropped from his
record label.
Studdard was released from J Records earlier this week (begs17Dec07)
after failing to match the success of his debut album, 2003's Soulful,
with his latest works, including last year's (06) The Return - which
barely sold 235,000 copies.
But Studdard is not letting his label news upset him - he's keeping
busy with plans to play jazz great Fats Waller in a theatre tour of Ain't
Misbehavin'.
He is also scheduled to make an appearance in his hometown Birmingham,
Alabama this weekend (22Dec07) with his old band Just a Few Cats at the
WorkPlay soundstage.
