Season 3 Miss American Idol winner, Fantasia, has been doing very well lately with her latest album, Back To Me, getting some of her best sales ever. She's also back on the radio with Bittersweet recently peaking at #7 on the Billboard R&B chart and her next single, I'm Doing Me, steadily climbing that chart as we speak.

But during all of this Fantasia has had to deal with some very unhappy times with a relationship falling apart, lawsuits, and a serious suicide attempt.

She is now in the second season of her VH1 reality show, Fantasia For Real, and she has not been shy about letting her fans see every detail of what's going on in her life, the good and the bad. In a recent episode she simply sat with the camera pointing at her and described her thoughts leading up to the overdose. It was very emotional, and honest and reality TV just doesn't get more REAL than this.

In other news, the season 9 Miss American Idol winner, Lee DeWyze, has released his first single called Sweet Serendipity and the complete album titled, Live it Up! will be released on Nov. 16th. So far it has not made a ripple on the airplay or the sales charts. We'll just have to wait and see what happens.....
