THE SONGWRITING PORTION OF AMERICAN IDOL isn't CLEARY DIFFERENT than the SINGING PORTION OF AMERICAN IDOL.
the singers have all had success
AI is looking for unsigned talent.
AI is looking for available songs

They aren't looking at finding UNDISCOVERED talent. They are looking for currently available talent.

indies can do it!

Regie's music and songwriting are clearly the work of a keen observer of the world who has something to say about it. Combining the beauty, irony, and sometimes even harshness of life, Regie's work has a cinematic quality that leaves the listener with the feeling of an experience they will not soon forget. His critically acclaimed debut solo album, American Dreams (Universal South/Refugee), yielded the Billboard top 15 AC hit "Babies."

As a songwriter, Regie has enjoyed more than 400 cuts -- over 20 of them number one hits -- and he was honored as the "SESAC Songwriter of the Year" in 1995, 1996, 1997 and 2000. He has multiple Grammy and Dove Award nominations as both a producer and writer. He currently writes with, produces and plays in the band "Smokey Lonesome". Their debut record is soon to be released. He continues to play solo dates and is working in the studio on a new solo record.


You see...he has been nominated for GRAMMY'S and DOVE'S. Pretty major stuff. I have come to SERIOUSLY realize and lets get this clear people. THE SONGWRITING PORTION OF AMERICAN IDOL if CLEARY DIFFERENT than the SINGING PORTION OF AMERICAN IDOL. American Idol is looking for undiscovered talent vocal wise. BUT if you are a songwriter you have a BETTER SHOT having some GRAMMY and DOVE nominations. It is NOT a Fair competition when it comes to finding UNDISCOVERED talent. I will NEVER change my mind about that. I call it like I see it. Yes, perhaps a few unknowns got a break and got in there, and to be honest I pray to GOD one of you wins it!! Go all the way with it and prove to us indies that you can do it! Break the code!! Please!! Show me it can be done! I am with you all the way!
