Clay Aiken Lands a New Record Deal with Decca Records

Decca Records recently announced their decision to sign American Idol season 2 runner up, Clay Aiken.

Aiken and his former label, RCA, parted ways a few months ago. Aiken is expected to release a new album with Decca Records in early 2010. There's no word yet on which type of record he will be making, but hopefully it will consist of original songs, not covers.

Signing to Decca Records probably wasn't Aiken's smartest choice. Most of the artists signed to Decca are unknown, with the exception of Boyz II Men and Ladyhawk. It's definitely not as big or as successful as RCA is.

It's good that Aiken will be getting back to making music, but I still think his career is going down the drain.

Clay Aiken is Dropped from Yet Another Organization

Votefortheworst.com is reporting that Clay Aiken's charity, The Bubel/Aiken Foundation has recently chosen to drop Aiken. This sounds ironic since Aiken helped to found the charity, hence the name, but the organization has decided to drop him anyway due to disappointing funds received over the past year. Apparently the organization feels that Aiken's name is hurting the charity more than it is helping. First Aiken was dropped by his record label, then his charity, what's next, is Spamalot going to drop him?
