She just turned 16 and has been singing professionally for 3 years. She made it to the 3rd interview and then the guy told her that she placed in the top 50 out of 10k but he wanted her for "next year".

While I agree that she should wait until next year it makes me question the contestants they let through. Steph didnt even make it in to try out for the real judges. So evidently they allow people into the auditions just to have somebody to make fun of on national TV.

I just hope she puts the next year to good use, She has been doing too many country covers and has developed an awful twang and some other bad habits. She also could stand to lose about 50lbs. But she has a great strong voice and good stage presence.

If youre interested in seeing and hearing her sing and about her experience in Seattle go to the link below and scan down to where it says "American Idol Hopeful Shares Her Experience"

The local news did a couple of nice interviews with her.

Wow it all makes sense now... That's why so many of rejects seem so sure that they will make it. They have already passed 2-3 rounds of judging beforehand so they think they are a shoe in. In reality though the producers let them through to the final round of judging with paula/simon/randy just so they have some material to make fun off when the episode airs. Man that's cruel.
