Idol Chatter & Voice Views

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.

Devan Jones

A year ago, Aubrey Cleland, Johnny Keyser, Cortex Shaw and Devan performed together on group night in Vegas. They’re all back for Season 12, hoping to go farther. Devan was cut after that group performance, but thinks his musical versatility will serve him well. “I’m kind of fried chicken and baked chicken at the same time,” says the guy from Aurora, Colorado. “So, if you like chicken, you like chicken. I think I’m all kinds of chicken.” His favorite past contestant is Carrie Underwood, who worked hard and became a star thanks to Idol. “I don’t think people are born stars,” Devan adds. “You can become one, if you believe in yourself.”
