Artist:Bucky Covington
Song:A Different World
Album:Bucky Covington
Bucky Covington placed eighth on season five of American Idol. He scored a top five country hit with the 2007 single A Different World. He still performs but he doesn't have a record deal right now. He was born Nov. 8, 1977 in Rockingham, NC. His twin brother Rocky plays drums in his band. They both auditioned for American Idol. Bucky made the final twelve and finished eighth. He then signed with Disney owned Lyric Street Records. Covington recorded his debut album Bucky Covington with former Sawyer Brown lead singer Mark Miller producing. A Different World reached #6 on the Country Singles chart. The song was written by Jennifer Hanson, Tony Martin and Mark Nesler. Martin has been a successful songwriter since the 80s. That's Covington's biggest hit to date. It's not unusual for American Idol contestants to have success right after the show and then go nowhere. Covington's problem was Disney closed Lyric Street in 2010. They promised he would be moved to another Disney label. But that didn't happen and his 2012 album Good Guys was released on E1 Music. Covington self released an EP in 2015 and he still performs. But currently he has no record deal. That's why I always say that American Idol is a double edged sword. Many contestants suffer the same fate as Bucky Covington. Here's the video for A Different World by Bucky Covington.
