Michael Lynche sure has something to sing about!

The American Idol season-nine alum confirmed to People that he and wife Christa welcomed their second child—son Kingston Michael—on Tuesday in New York City.

But Kingston's birth was much different than big sister Laila Rose's in 2010...

Dad got to be there!

When Laila Rose was born on Jan. 13, 2010, Lynche, in the midst of Hollywood Week of American Idol, heard the good news over the phone on television.

"[Kingston's birth was a] much different experience than last time," the proud dad said. "No issues at all."

So how has the 28-year-old singer fared since coming in fourth place on Idol? No complaints from him.

"The best part of my life after Idol has been my wife Christa and my baby Leila getting to go everywhere with me," he said. "Now that we're adding a new little one to our family, we couldn't be happier."
