American Idol tries their best to squeeze one more tear out of a contestant (or Paula Abdul) as they are booted out of the singing competition by playing a melodramatic song during their farewell video. Last year's photo montages were accompanied by the downer of all downers "Bad Day" (iTunes) by Daniel Powter. The one-hit-wonder milked his fame for all it was worth and even landed a live performance of his song on the American Idol Season 5 Finale show.
This year Daniel Powter has been given the boot in favor of Season 5 loser Chris Daughtry and his own sad song called "Home" (iTunes). "The song had the sentiment to be the perfect ‘Idol’ exit song. It seemed to fit perfectly. That the song also is inside the Idol family — meaning producers profit if it and the album do well — couldn’t have hurt, either." (via Reality Blurred) B000IY04RC
