Husky-voiced American Idol singing sensation Harold "Bo" Bice was runner-up to corn silk Oklahoman Carrie Underwood. The following summer, Bice participated in the usual post-Idol tour with his fellow contestants; he also endured the traditional pry into his past life, which had evidently included brushes with drug possession. In the meantime, the release date of his debut album was pushed back. Real Thing eventually arrived in December 2005. Produced by Clive Davis, it featured collaborations with rockers Chad Kroeger (Nickelback) and Richie Sambora, as well as songwriting pros John Shanks and Max Martin. ~ Johnny Loftus
