This comes hot on the heels of fellow Idol winner Rubben Studdard being dropped by J too.
Who's the next to be dropped????
Our money's on Fantasia or the Gayken!

too bad he is still a cutie!
Is he related to George Clooney???
I would go with Clay because he does not seem to be actively trying to put his music out.
FB is having a baby, so there could be source material waiting to heppen, plus she put out a cd/videos that charted.. but she screwed over Oprah by not showing up to her play.. so it might be her too.

fantasias head is abnormally large…first??
He looks pretty lusterous to me. Things are tough with the music biz, there are gonna be cuts.
Well, him resembling an old man doesn't help either, and I mean he was pretty talent-less, talk about the pity vote!
Hi Andrea!

From q8 (kuwait) 1st Bitches
yeah
It's about time, seriously. They haven't done anything for J Records. They're saving themselves some money and after they drop Clay Aiken, of course, then they can start to sign some good singers who actually deserve a record label.
Not surprised..
FIRST!
FIRST U FAT FUCK !!!!!!! TEAM BRITNEY !!!!!!!!

first!!!
FIRST
Gayken's next!

This is a good thing for Taylor. American Idol never understood him, and never knew what they had in their hands. They insist America made a mistake when they voted for Taylor, which is clearly an admission that their show doesn't work the way they want it to, meaning, THEY are the ones who want to choose to win, not the public.
Thank God, Taylor is free because now he can finally do music the way he wants to, and not the way he is dictated to. And I just can't wait what he's going to do.
firstt:D
He always looked like a GREY OLD fart to me….FIRST!

For someone who has such a popular blog such as yours your pretty unprofessional. The name is Clay Aiken and mark my words HE WILL NEVER BE DROPPED.

Taylor's all right, record deal or not. We was the winner … that's all that counts.
Spelling lesson: boys - fiance. Girls: fiancee. Are you picking this up yet?

Miss Trashahassee
I never thought he was any good to begin with…a legend in his own mind.
kelly, and carrie and the only good/successful oness.
but i really like jordin's album alsoooo
I HATE JENNiFER HUDSUN.
Soooo ugly.
Taylor, meh.
I mean, who really cared for him anyway ?
um..
That Fantasia is next.
Color Purple what ?
who cares ?!
no tits (female ya'll) no ass to speak of and no female genitalia (although most will disagree in defending Clay) AMERICAN IDOL WINNERS WITHOUT VAGINAS = a public that does not care. Exception Daughtry who had a tight band before he was made. You guys catch Blake Lewis on Late Night, what in the fuck was that nonsense????!!!????
hahaha good.
BRITNEY BRITNEY BRITNEY BRITNEY BRITNEY BRITNEY BRITNEY BRITNEY
(((((( SHE IS A QUEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!))))))))))) GIMMIE GIMMIE MORE!!!!!
He was entertaining on Idol but just listening to him "sing" wouldn't do it for me either. His style of music has a narrow market I guess. So, I'm not surprised. When we voted for him to win, noi so sure it was necessarily for him as it was against McPhee.
two words: good riddance
Getting dropped by a major record label is not good, spin all you want. Taylor will probably go the way of Bo Bice, from selling 700k, to scraping by on a new label at 36k. McPhee sold really pitifully as well. Just goes to prove sex doesn't always sell — sex, faux-r&b, and autotune… ugh.
aiken will get dropped, the fact he isn't is because he can get the old fat ladies to buy 20 copies of his CD and make some money for the company. However, he can't get air play and is basically considered a non entity as well as a joke in the music industry.
I'd love to kick this Taylor guy in the nuts.
He should have never won. Remember, his season was the one with Daughtry.
Re: FUCKYOUPEREZI – totally not gay but I would suck on Perez til his dick went soft, lol. Not really gay but WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH YOU QUEENS HATING ON THE MAN, shit this is gossip internet. You can't get all Jerry Springer in this realm its all fucking gossip what do you really want Christ Crocker??!??! FUck that retard tried to milk his 15 about 14 minutes too soon and still is an 07 afterthought. Its all to funny………………am I still late to be a FIRST poster, what the fuck lol.
if you only knew how much money clay aiken is making off of his concerts and fans and everything. it will deff. be fantasia. too many people like clay aiken
He was too self serving. Talyor only played the music he wanted to hear. He would jam on stage and forget anyone was even there. SPAZ
His concert sucked huckleberry hound dog.
They say Kellie Pickler will bypass Taylor Hicks in sales next week. I believe Kellie finished in seventh place, ouch. And Kellie has already more than doubled Katharine McPhee's sales, especially embarrassing when you consider how Katharine questioned Kellie's singing ability. Even Elliott Yamin (a third place finisher) has outsold McPhee, and he's on an independent label.
And over at Jive, Unfitney will be dropped next!
Taylor Hicks makes me wish I was deaf too.
Why no "DOUCHE" across his face?!?!?
TAYLOR WE'LL BUY WHATEVER ALBUM YOU PUT OUT … THIS IS YOUR CHANCE! FIND A RECORD COMPANY THAT UNDERSTANDS YOU WITH PR PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY RESPOND TO WRITERS (YOURS NEVER DID) AND YOU'LL DO GREAT!
I doubt fantasia will be dropped, her second CD so far has scanned just over 500,000 and her second single 'When I see you' was a number 1 on billboard RnB charts and radio for several weeks. It's a shame that song never crossed over to the pop radio stations. It's a great song and her delivery is flawless. Gayken on the other hand decided to release an album of covers for his second CD, who greenlighted that idea? Maybe he'll call JR Rotem and say I'll blow you for a hit song just like Lilo and brit brit.
We'd be very surprised if Clay Aiken was dropped, he's still a cash cow for them.
Fantasia will not be dropped anytime soon…here in NYC…her record "When I See You" was the #1 record of the year at 105.1…that's right…ahead of Kanye, Fitty, and Beyonce!!!
Fantasia will not be dropped because she CURRENTLY has 2 singles in rotation on R&B/Urban radio. Do Your Research Perez!! Who else is getting radio play? Clay, Katherine McBoring, Jordon???
Hey guys this is so not cool. I'm making my next album on my own so I can make it more of my own. and Perez I don't drool, maybe you should put a picture of yourself on here and then make drool marks on it I think that would be a little more accurate. -Taylor
Re: Taylor Hicks – suck donkey kong…just like your last album….
He's too old anyways. Or old looking.
THIS
IS
EXACTLY
WHY I AM ______________________________NOT____________________________
AN AMERICAN IDOL FAN!
I mean yes, these people do have major talent and work extra hard to get on the show and win the title…but they are no where near good enough to actually keep their record deal and become a super star.
Hicks and McPhee appear on the most popular show in the history of American television and still can't crack Platinum. That's the bottom line. If I'm a record exec, I drop em too.
And anybody cares?

Hey Taylor!
Come over and bring Meth and Fraps, y'all! I'm home from my adventure!
BRITNEY
Perez, Dahling, I would hope you, being as celeb-smart as you are, would know that Clay Aiken isn't with J Records.
Perez when will someone drop your fat azz?
I was shocked the other day when one of the shows (Extra? ET? Access Hollywood?) actually gave Hicks some airtime by asking him some questions "backstage".
i dont think clay would b dropped either, he has had two successful cd's in total he has sold over 5 million cds and he is with rca not j records.. my money is on jordin or katharine mcphee
THE OLD GRAY GOOSE IS DEAD!
Thank God, now Taylor is free from the clutches of Clive. They never promoted Taylor, he couldn't and wouldn't be molded and wouldn't sell out.
Over 800,000 sales worldwide aint bad, especially without radio play. Clive saved his payola for the pimped Daughtry…. his boy toy.
Taylor didn't sell up to industry standards and somehow it's Clive's fault? Yet Daughtry sells in the millions on the same label due to payola? Talk about sour grapes. I hear Taylor already has a deal lined up with Anonymity Records. Enjoy. And spare us the misery.
No way Gayken! He has way too many fans. It will more than likely be Blake Lewis or Kat McPhee. Gayken or Fantasia would have been dumped by now.
Taylor who? The only man in show business who was a has-been the moment he won.
