More American Idol Update!

I was doing research on what the former Idol Contestants are doing now, and let's just say some seasons and people are more successful than others.

Josh Gracin has 18 shows booked between January and September, and there are more dates to be added. For those of you who live in the Northeast and enjoy country music as I do, here are some dates---

Fantasia Barrino has three Grammy nominations, including, Best Female R&B Performance, Best R&B Song, and Best Contemporary R&B Album.

Jennifer Hudson is getting more and more movie deals all the time. She is signed up to be in "Tyler Perry's The Family that Preys" in 2008. She will play the role of Rosaleen in 2009's "The Secret Life of Bees". She may also play the role of Aretha Franklin and Missy Elliott in biopics about both women.
