American Idol Songwriter Isn’t That Undiscovered After All

Back when the American Idol songwriting competition was first announced, producers hyped it as a search for great undiscovered songwriting talent. In fact, American Idol producer Simon Fuller was quoted in a press release as saying “Having an untapped songwriter create the winner's single seemed like a natural next step for our show. Not only do the fans pick their American Idol, but also his or her first single. This show has always been, and will continue to be, all about fulfilling dreams."
