![Bobbi Kristina Hospitalized -- Whitney Houston's Daughter Rushed to the Hospital [UPDATE]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/13/0213-whitney-hero-2-248x127.jpg)
Bo Bice shot to stardom singing other people's tune's on "American Idol," but apparently fans have had enough.
TMZ has obtained a petition begging Bice's record label to green light more music written by the "American Idol" runner-up himself. The petition, which speaks directly to RCA chief Clive Davis, scoffs at the fact that his first album is written almost exclusively by other people, including the smash hit "Real Thing." Bice did pen three songs on the album.
The petition reads:
To: Mr. Clive Davis of RCA records
Bo Bice's first CD was made up of songs almost exclusively written by other artists and songwriters. When the CD was released, many of Bo's fans found they preferred his original songs, and would like RCA to support his aspiration to become an original recording artist.
We, the undersigned, want Bo Bice's original music to make up the majority of songs on his next CD.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned
At this point, the petition has over 1400 signatures and can be viewed and signed by online vote at www.jointhepetition.com.

This guy should have won American Idol, its about time a rocker takes it just like Chris should have taken it, but Simon apparently doesnt like rock!
I signed this and hope more people will support him. I think he is amazing and is great live and doing his own stuff is even hotter! Lovin Bo Bice and agree with the petition...hope it helps him out! :)
I saw him live a couple of months ago and he was incredible! He tries so hard to give everyone what they want. I came away lovin him more than ever!! He is skinnier in person though!
If you can sign the petition more than once just like you can vote on American Idol I am not impressed. It is kinda ridiculous anyway. He was allowed 3 on his first cd...that was good actually. It just means on his second he would be allowed more probably anyway. The petition will not do anything to change what Clive Davis has in mind.
Actually Bo sounds like alot of rockers out there....he has alot of competition. Seems on TV like a likeable person but just doesn't have anything different than what you hear in loud bars.
I love Bo, I became a huge fan when he was on idol. I have the cd from his old band, SugarMoney, and its awesome. I admit I was a little disappointed with the way The Real Thing sounded, it's not enough his style. It hasn't done well on radio, either. I would love to hear an album of all originals by him.
BTW, I met him in person back in May, and he is as sweet as you imagine he would be! He's little, too, not much taller than myself! Really adorable.
I think that this is a good idea--I would have liked some more songs that Bo Bice wrote on his first album. But the album is heavily dominated by songs by John Shanks, Marti Fredriksen, Max Martin, Cliff Magness and others. It sounds close to something Nickelback and the now defunct Creed would do. They didn't want to release it the same time as Nickelback's All The Right Reasons just to avoid identical songs and sounds. But it's a good first effort--I wish that Idol's handlers should keep their formulaic pop stuff to themselves and let the singers write their own songs. Bice's songwriting needs to be exposed more to the public and not let outsiders dominate his sound.
I have been a fan of Bo's since day & will always be a fan. He has a wonderful voice & is an amazing person. He has alot of love for everyonen & I don't understand why anyone want to put him down. They need to get to know Bo & the person that he is. Bo, your peep's LOVE YOU. Rock on BO!!!!!
