A little update..

Monday, April 20th, 2009
Hi Guys,
This has been an exciting week!  On Idol, we used our one-time save on Matt Giraud.  It’s an amazing feeling to be a part of giving someone a second chance, which we all need at some point in our lives.  I wouldn’t be where I am today if someone hadn’t believed in me and given me another shot.
I have really been enjoying the weekly segment I do with Access Hollywood, where I get to spend time with the Idols who have been eliminated.  It’s been an eye-opening experience to listen to their stories and get a better understanding of where they are coming from in their lives, which has impacted their music.  The main focus of the segment is to give them advice and guidance that I hope will help them in their post-Idol careers.  The segment airs Mondays at 7:30pm (PST) on NBC (and either 7:00pm/7:30pm (EST) depending on your location). 
Personally, I have been really busy this month in the studio with Cobra Starship, Jason Castro, Cee-Lo, Miley Cyrus and working on the new Camp Rock project.  I also had my first cut with Rascal Flatts on their new album, “Unstoppable”, which went to number one this week on the BB 200 … and the Kelly Clarkson song that I co-wrote  with Katy Perry called ”I Do Not Hook Up” is also starting to heat up.
Thanks for checking in!
