Ruben Studdard To Sing Idol Top 12 Farewell Track

American Idol season two winner Ruben Studdard, who was recently dropped from J Records, but is still affiliated with 19 Entertainment, will sing the farewell track played for each departing contestant during the top 12 portion of the seventh season of Idol. The song is a cover of Kenny Loggins' "Celebrate Me Home," produced by Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. What a cool gig! Just when you thought another one had bitten the dust. Ruben will also be recording for a new album, which is excellent news as well. In related news, I have to share with you all what is hands-down the best performance so far on this seventh season & one of the best in the history of Idol. It is performed by someone who is fast becoming my favorite this season, David Archuleta, & who will most likely be giving more amazing performances similar to & better than this in the coming weeks (song--"Imagine"):
