American Idol can catapult contestants to Country superstardom (see:Carrie Underwood), but success on the TV show is no guarantee of a long career. Just as with the UK's X Factor and Pop Idol, winners can quickly disappear from sight, despite their moment of competition glory.
American Idol finalist Phil Stacey had one single and one album released by Nashville's Lyric Street Records before being shown the door. Now, Phil is back in the spotlight with a new recording contract with Reunion Records. The label, which deals in contemporary Christian music, expects to have an album from Phil for summer release.
