American Idol Justin Guarini Aims for New Moon Soundtrack

Justin Guarini, who was previously on American Idol, is yet another of the numerous musical acts hoping to get a slice of the New Moon soundtrack pie.

Although Guarini’s “New Moon” fate is still up in the air, he did say that the folks at the Chop Shop, the film’s music supervisors, have told him they’ve given the song a listen and will let him know if he makes the cut as soon as the decision is made.

Check out the song he’s proposing in the video below–do you think it fits with the movie at all?
