Lee DeWyze Dropped By RCA Records


There have been American Idol winners who have done way worse than Lee DeWyze who have somehow managed to hang on to their record contracts. I mean the guy sold 168,000 albums which is a bunch these days in a world of free downloads, but it was not good enough as he was dropped by RCA. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter it sounded like RCA took a couple of digs at Lee and maybe that he brought this on himself. Asked about the inconsistencies about Idol winners, the RCA rep said, "Those where the A&R wasn't the best, or they weren't willing to be A&R’d, they didn't last.” I wonder if Lee was being difficult. I know that Kelly Clarkson was on the one album that went nowhere but she seems to be back on board the do whatever they say train. Hopefully Lee will find a new home.
