"In the past, the show has called on an industry songwriter or producer to write an original song for each of the two finalists, with the new "idol" or even the runner-up consistently scoring best-selling records with the tunes.
This past season's winner, Taylor Hicks, is on the charts with "Do I Make You Proud," which he performed on the finale.
The songwriting contest is aimed at getting numbers that might be better matches for the contestants, Fuller told the Los Angeles Times.
Details of the new competition were not available, Fuller spokesman Eric Green said Monday. "
Anything can be better than:

But the only question with me now
Is do I make you proud?
Stronger than I've ever been now
Never been afraid of standing out
But do I make you proud?
Look at that. About/now, now/out, proud/proud. I'm sure someone here could beat that.
