We didn’t get a chance to meet many of the talented singers who made it to Hollywood on American Idol.

So I’ve compiled a series of blogs about them, based on their Road to Hollywood videos and music they’ve posted.

For a complete look at the contestants we missed, head here.

She’s part of a brother-sister team that earned golden tickets in Oklahoma City and admits she auditioned only because her brother did. “I figured, if you’re driving down to Oklahoma City for nine and a half hours, I might as well go with. And if I’m going all the way down there, I might as well give it a shot.” The risk paid off. As to what makes Monet different? “People say I dance to the beat of my own drum.” She points to what she wore to the audition. The shirt belonged to her dad. Her skirt cost “like a quarter. Some people would say, I can’t wear that. It came from a garage sale. I’ll do what I want. I think that makes me unique,” says the personable young lady from Waukee, Iowa. Her favorite past Idol contestant: Carrie Underwood.

“Piano Man”
