Pia Toscano from American Idol signs record deal!

The American Idol star Pia Toscano has just signed her first record deal! She didn't win the big US competition herself but it would seem that doesn't matter to Pia!

Interscope Records are the company to take the star-in-the-making on, and we'll be anxiously awaiting her first single. It is surprising that Pia Toscano has landed a deal, considering she only finished 9th in American Idol! Her new single will be called "This Time" and will be released on the 12th of July.
