Rumors are swirling that Ruben has signed with Universal and has a new CD of love song covers coming out at the end of May. Some Lutheresque ballads will suit his voice better than the hip hop stuff he was doing before.
The lead single is supposed to be the exit song he sings on AI7, Celebrate Me Home.
I really hope that that’s true about Ruben.
Thanks Undecided about the information…
Do you know anything about the other two if they will be signed?
Enjoy the season guys this old girl is tired of blog messanging for now.

American Idol sales: Good week helps propel Idol gains
A healthy Easter holiday week, plus possibly the effect of CMT-related promotions on country artists (meaning Carrie), helped boost the sales of all the Idols on the Billboard top 200.
Carrie’s Carnival Ride shot up 33-15, selling 37,000, according to Nielsen SoundScan — a 116% increase. Total is now 1.96 million. Daughtry drops 21-27, but increases sales 18% to 25,000 for a total of 3.91 million.
Jordin is up 32-29 and registers a 35% sales increase to 24,000, bringing her total to 595,000. Carrie’s Some Hearts jumps 57-51 with a 33% increase to 16,000 for a total of 6.34 million.
Finally, the charts giveth and taketh away. Blake falls off the chart this week, but Kellie — aided by an appearance on Idol last week — returns at No. 146 with nearly 6,000 sold, an increase of about 240%. Her total is 734,000.
Idols off the chart follow.
Blake missed the top 200 chart by exactly 36 records, a cruel blow. His rounded total is 4,000, down from 4,300 the previous week, and his total is 282,000.
Kelly’s Breakaway sold 3,500, up from 3,000, for a total of 5.97 million. Her My December sold 1,500, up from 1,300, and totals 758,000.
Bucky sold 1,600, up from 1,400, total 332,000.
Elliott sold 1,500, up from 1,200 and enough to push him over the half-million mark (501,000), a notable achievement for an independent album.
Mandisa sold 600, same as last week, for a total of 75,000.
Fantasia sold 500, down from 600, for a total of 510,000.
Bo also sold 500, no change, total 42,000.
Katharine sold 400, down from 500, for a total of 369,000.
Taylor sold 200, up from 100, for a total of 701,000.
Clay sold 200, down from 300, totaling 524,000.
The 100 club, all of whom sold 100 the previous week as well, stars Ruben (237,000 total), Constantine (25,000), Paris (21,000) and Kimberley (18,000).
A day late but major congrats to Elliott for selling Gold. A notable achievement for an indie artist indeed, Ken. He did it exactly a year after the album was released. As far as I know, the only one off Idol to do this well without Clive or another major behind him.
Maybe a little song on IGB could nudge those sales even higher (fingers crossed).
