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.
Oscar Chatman
Oscar hails from Gary, Ind., and says he tried out for Idol because he believes he’s an “awesome” singer and making a living at it is his lifelong dream. He says he draws much of his inspiration from his family because “they’ve been there through the tough times. They really have always encouraged me to keep moving forward, even when I couldn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel.” In his Road to Hollywood video, Oscar mentions that he works hours a day as a street performer, but also attends school where he works on his piano skills and trains with a voice instructor. His favorite past Idols are Kris Allen and Ruben Studdard. He says he can still recall buying Ruben’s first two albums back when he was 16 or 17 and recalls how inspirational they were as well.
