Billboard:
ARTIST: JORDIN SPARKS/BLAKE LEWIS,
SINGLE: THIS IS MY NOW
The retail universe has dramatically changed from one year ago, where "American Idol" victory songs were carefully controlled by physical release -- all but ensuring their debut at the top of The Billboard Hot 100. Because of hastily recorded studio versions of weekly performances this year, all tracks are available for download, including "This Is My Now," the chosen melodic champ for winner Jordin Sparks and runner-up Blake Lewis, which bows on the Hot 100 at Nos. 15 and 18, respectively. While mainstream press reviews for the melodramatic ballad have been unkind -- and so far, airplay seems scant -- Sparks soars like an eagle with a consummate performance, while Lewis flaps his wings hard with an admittedly misfit tune. Meanwhile, the intriguing historic query remains to be seen: Do radio and a weary audience care about propelling TV's No. 1 reality pageant into another chart-topper?

Legend in his own mind Blake Lewis is a major celeb — in his own mind. The “American Idol” runner-up was at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas on June 7 when he was approached by four elderly ladies who politely asked him if he was the guy from the hit television series, according to the National Enquirer. Lewis curtly insisted that he wasn’t. “My, my, young man, you look so much like him,” one disappointed woman reportedly said. Although no one else seemed to recognize Lewis, he whipped out his cell phone, called someone, and complained about being mobbed by fans, according to the tab. “Hurry up and get down here fast!” an observer heard him grouse. “You wouldn’t believe all the people bothering me here!” www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19079610/
