Alex Lambert

One of last season's most adorable American Idol contestants hasn't exactly struck it big since the show concluded.

Alex Lambert, who appeared on the Internet reality show "If I Can Dream," went off on Twitter Monday night, stating that he lacks a consistent roof over his head. He wrote:

I've been kinda homeless! Sleepin on the street and behind buildings. I have a choice to stay and pursue my career or go back to texas and not do music! I'm usually a strong person but I can't take it anymore. I've been goin to coffee shops and other stores so I can tweet to my snaf! Because to be honest! You guys are all I really have!

Alex Lambert - I Didn't Know

In response, a spokesperson for production company 19 Entertainment felt a need to clarify Lambert's situation, saying:

"He's not homeless... He's on a retainer, and he's getting money every month. He's working on demos. He's with writers, he's working on music... He's not homeless. How could he be texting? How could he be going into [the] recording studio and sleeping on the streets? There's no record deal yet, but hopefully something could come from [these demos]."

Ratings for American Idol have dropped this season and many viewers aren't thrilled with the remaining contestants.

THG thinks we know why: the early elimination of Alex Lambert. Just as this adorable singer was feeling comfortable on stage, fans voted him off.

So, where can you catch the young crooner now? Online. Lambert has signed on for If I Can Dream, the Web reality series that follows six people - including Miley Cyrus' ex, Justin Gaston - attempting to succeed in Hollywood.

In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, Alex discusses the show, his future and other topics. A few excerpts are below...

What is the show?: They’re going to follow me while I pursue my career. They’re going to hook me up with vocal coaches and co-writers to help me co-write my songs. They’re pretty much going to do everything they can to help me take my music to the next level. There’s five other people in the house, and it’s just showing us pursuing our dreams.

Why is he doing it? It’s like the perfect thing I could do right now. I went back home to Texas... I didn’t know what to do with like press, publicity, and all that stuff. So this is perfect. They’re hooking me up with the perfect people.

On his popularity: I think the reason that a lot of people like me is [that I'm] something unique that people haven’t really heard on Idol before. There’s never been someone who sounded like me on Idol ever. I guess everyone was like, ”This is cool.” I think I have a unique style, but people realize I’m a beginner.

After asking American Idol semifinalists to take down their MySpace, YouTube and Facebook pages, it looks like Fox has lightened up a bit.

In the video below, Andrew Garcia, Alex Lambert and Lee Dewyze thank fans for all their love and support, while also giving out the contestants' updated addresses on the aforementioned social networks, along with Twitter.

Enjoy the gracious-filled greetings below and sound off on which male you want to see in the finals:

Might the name Lambert get lucky two years in a row on American Idol?

As fans know, Adam Lambert made it all the way to the final two on season eight of the country's most-watched program.

Now, an upstart named Alex Lambert is hoping to follow in that singer's talented footsteps.

According to various sources, Alex has earned a spot in the show's top 24. Not much is known about this Texas native, except that he loves to wear goofy glasses and strum the guitar.

To wit, check out the singer's rendition of the Jason Mraz classic "I'm Yours."
