 Canadian Idol’s Billy Klippert Scores Record Deal
Klippert — the blonde rocker who captured many a teenybopper’s heart during his run on CI — has just signed with the Orange record label, a relatively new indie label that’s distributed by Universal Music.
After Klippert got booted from CI (following his misguided choice of singing a Stone Temple Pilots song on an Idol show), many fans speculated that the Calgarian would put a disc out with his existing band, Kovered In Lies.
Klippert’s album is expected to hit stores in May. A single should appear on radio as early as next month.

 Billy Klippert... what else is there to say?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Klippert — thanks to a rendition of Elton John’s Levon that couldn’t have been better received if it had come with a leopard-print furcoat and giant pink sunglasses — is just three weeks away from becoming the country’s first Canadian Idol.
Jim, who spent three weeks with Billy and brother Benjamin in Toronto but is back home now, was there last week when his son selected Levon over Rocket Man (which was subsequently butchered by freshly-ousted crooner from Mars, Jenny Gear) to perform.
That probably also describes the emotional state of the Klippert clan as they watch every week to see if Billy stays or goes.

There are a few people who feel that Billy's grunge-style song choice ‘Plush’ by the Stone Temple Pilots which he sang for his final performance was too risky and might have hurt his chance at winning the title.
