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.
Jacob Abello
Jacob says a friend pushed him into auditioning and adds he was “really stunned” to get a unanimous vote through to Hollywood. “I really didn’t think my audition went that well,” he confesses. Jacob says he’s inspired by the likes of Queen, David Bowie and early Madonna, “anything performance art wise.” That’s partly because the young man from Norman, Okla., says he considers himself “a performer, not just a singer.” “For a long time I didn’t feel American Idol was a good fit for me,” Jacob admits, before noting that the show is a reflection of pop culture and pop culture is changing. “I’m a progressive artist that stands out and is different and I think America is ready to have me as their next American Idol.”
