Status: Partially Found

After placing seventh on the first season of American Idol, Ryan Starr (real name Tiffany Montgomery) pursued a career as a rock artist and released a single, "My Religion," in 2004. "My Religion" reached the top of Billboard's Hot Digital Songs chart.[1] According to a 2007 article by MTV, the song "was released to iTunes only to capitalize on (Starr's) appearance on VH1's The Surreal Life and "ended up making the Guinness Book of World Records for the most exclusive single downloads in iTunes history".[2]

Starr never released any further singles, but around the time of "My Religion"'s release, she uploaded six original songs to her MySpace page.

Although these songs are still listed on Starr's MySpace page, they can no longer be heard there,[3] as all music files uploaded to MySpace before 2015 have become unplayable.[4]

Two of these songs, "Blue" and "Broken" were included with "My Religion" on the 2008 compilation album Curtain Call: New Songs from Past American Idol Finalists.[5][6][7][8][9] While "My Religion" can be found on YouTube, Neither "Blue" nor "Broken" is available anywhere online.

Of the four songs Starr released exclusively through MySpace, only "7am" is still available online. It was uploaded to YouTube in 2021.

Heavy metal artist Sully Erna's 2010 album Avalon includes a song titled "Eyes of a Child", which is stylistically similar to the songs released by Starr. Erna's official YouTube channel includes a video of his song by this title, which credits Ryan Starr as a composer. The video description says "Auto-generated by YouTube" though, so it's unclear whether these credits are accurate or not. Although unconfirmed, it seems likely that Erna's "Eyes of a Child" is a cover of the song first released by Starr. The version on Starr's MySpace page was uploaded in 2006, four years before Erna's version was released. Starr's version of the song remains lost.
