The real results of the American Idol Songwriting contest Season six 2007.
At least 13 different songwriters have had prior working relationships with either American Idol Judge's Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul, American Idol bandleader Rickey Minor, American Idol host Ryan Seacrest, former American Idol finalist or Fox Television. One songwriter (Colin Armstrong), according to his American Idol bio, won the "BE A STAR" contest on L.A. radio station STAR 98.7 FM. Sadly, the bio doesn't mention that Ryan Seacrest was the radio DJ , and that 2 of Colin's Armstrong's co-writers (Mikal Reid and Marti Frederiksen) are credited on Bo Bice's 2005 CD and Clay Aiken's 2006 CD. (Side note, Marti Frederiksen and Clive Davis are producer's on Bo Bice's CD).
Mikal Reid-Colin Armstong's co-writer Mikal Reid-drums on former American Idol finalist Bo Bice's 2005 c.d The real thing
Marti Frederiksen-Colin Armstongs co-writer Marti Frederiksen was the producer and engineer on Clay Aiken's 2006 A thousand different ways
Songwriting finalist (Jennifer Hamady) spent 2 episodes as a backup singer on the 2007 season of American Idol.
Songwriting finalist (Kelly Corsino) has her own music production company and one of her clients is Fox Television. Songwriting finalist (Cal Harris Jr.) (Could be Cal Harris Sr But so what) was an engineer on Paula Abdul's "Head Over Heels" CD. Was also a engineer on Diana Ross's 2006 Blue album Diana Ross was a mentor on season six--2007

Songwriting finalist (Diana Dewitt) She is a well known christian back-up singer And has worked with some of the same people as Scott Krippayne Melinda Doolittle And Jordin Sparks
And if you visit the U.S. copyright website, a quick search shows Scott Krippayne has written songs for several christian artist like Jaci Velasquez, Rebecca Saint James, Kathy Troccoli, Point of Grace and more. And if you check out Scott's Purplehonda myspace page, Scott says he has written 14 number 1 hits and 20 top 10 hits for artist like John Tesh, Ronan Tynan, Saddi Patty and more.
What are the odds that 2007's American Idol winner Jordin Sparks and 2007's American Idol 3rd place finalist Melinda Doolittle would both be singing with AI season 3 finalist George Huff before American Idol season 6 even began? Just so you know...Ryan Seacrest announced on American Idol's final show that over a 100,000 people tried out for the 2007 season. Math was never our subject, but 100,000 to 1 seems close. According to an article from Shoutlife.com christian artist Michael W. Smith's manager Chaz Corzine said "Three years ago I met and became friends with a young girl that possessed about as much talent as I had ever seen in one person. Her name is Jordin Sparks and when I first met her - she was 14 years old. Shortly after I met Jordin she, her mother and her grandmother visited Nashville. I had the opportunity to take them to Michael's house where Jordin and Michael's girls hit it off like they had been best friends all their life! Another unique thing about that visit was that former American Idol contestant, George Huff, was at Smitty's house. As you might imagine - it wasn't long before the three of them (Michael, George and Jordin) wound up around the piano. That is a night I will never forget. Well, it wasn't long before Jordin was on the road with us singing Background Vocal's for Smitty's 2005 Christmas tour. She was a hit - both on stage and off stage. That was the first of two tours Jordin would do with Michael. She also joined him on his 2006 Christmastime Tour." So where does American Idol 3rd place finalist Melinda Doolittle fit in all of this? She's a backup singer on George Huff's 2004 "My Christmas" CD. Also American Idol finalist Melinda Doolittle and American Idol songwriting winner Scott Krippayne both appear on the "Music For The Soul's After The Storm" CD. Scott Krippaye sings lead vocals on the song "Twenty Three" and Melinda Doolittle sings lead vocals on "When The Saints". One last tidbit, Melinda Doolittle and Michael W. Smith both are credited on Rich Mullen's "The Jesus Record" CD.
Scott Krippayne had at least 5 differant connections. To either the show and/or to the contestants. Before the contest.
Here are the facts. Scott Krippayne (Winner AI Songwritng contest) Before the contest. Scott has written with Matthew Ward.
Matthew Ward was the producer of Jordin Sparks's 2003 demo cd
Scott has written with Andy Marvel.
Andy Marvel was one of the co-writers on Jordin Spark's 2003 demo cd
Scott was also on the 2005 cd After the storm As was Melinda Doolittle (3rd place winner AI)
Scott Krippayne wrote title track Wonderful Crazy----Katelyn Tarver's-----Debut-c.d. Katelyn Tarver was a Finalist 2003 Junior Idol
According to Scott's MySpace Bio He has worked with Kari Kemmil Kari Kemmil wrote the song (I Could) for American Idol Kimberley Locke
