The singer who turned a second-place finish into a steady recording career.
If you want to hear where she landed after Idol, try 'Tonight' or 'Gentlemen.' They give you a sense of the sound she's been working on.
She made a real impression on American Idol with that Queen cover, but she's been building her own catalog since. Songs like 'Tonight' and 'Plastic Roses' show her moving into R&B and pop territory. It's the work of someone who's been figuring out her voice away from the competition spotlight.
She came up through church choirs and local shows before that 2012 Idol run. After the show, she put out an EP in 2013 and her first full album, 'Public Service Announcement,' in 2017. There was some legal stuff with a former mentor around that time, but she kept recording.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
