For the past six years, Fox has been making stars with the incredibly popular American Idol, awarding the winner each year a million dollar recording contract. For the past two years, they’ve also been making stars of songwriters, giving one promising songwriter a shot, by having their song played as the exit song on the show. The first year it was Daniel Powter’s Bad Day, creating a star, as we were all singing that song by the end of the season. Last year it was Idol’s own fourth place finisher, Daughtry with his hit Home. Not that he needed help hitting the charts at that point, but he got it anyway.
Fox has already picked the song it will use this season, and it will make its debut on Tuesday’s episode where the contestants are narrowed down from that massive bunch that was sent to Hollywood. The song is appropriately called Hollywood’s Not America, and is by singer/songwriter Ferras, who himself has realized making it big isn’t everything. Somewhat ironic, I guess, as this song is about to make him a star, if we look at past history.
Already in the making is a music video for Ferras’ Hollywood’s Not America, with the following video a behind the scenes look.
