Constantine creeps back out.

Does the sight of current American Idol contestant Ace Young make you long for the days of Constantine Maroulis? While it certainly doesn’t for me, I know it does for Paula Abdul and many others, which is why they’ll be relieved to hear that Constantine will soon croon again. A report on www.mtvnews.com says you can look forward to his solo debut this September and, in what we’ve come to expect from the singer, Constantine promises, “The album is going to be super-sexy.”

Of course it will be – Constantine says so. A super-sexy album from a super-sketchy singer. I know I’m in the minority here, but Constantine always reminded me of that guy who hangs out in the corner of the bar, waiting for you to turn your back so he can slip a roofie in your drink. Not quite the kind of guy you’d bring home to your parents, unless, of course your mom was Paula, who wept uncontrollably when he was voted off the show. But I digress…

Despite his “rocker” reputation,” Constantine warns that this album is probably not what fans will be expecting. “It’s a little more pop, and there’s definitely rock, but it also touches on the adult-contemporary side, too…Basically, it’ll have a little bit of everything.” Funny, I thought a little bit of everything from Constantine’s Idol season had already been released, given Carrie Underwood and Bo Bice have been promoting their albums for months. But Constantine’s been much busier than they’ve been – in addition to his solo effort, he’s been part of the Idols Live tour, played with his original band, Pray for the Soul of Betty, and started working on a sitcom based on what we he says has been his very interesting life. Can America vote on that?
