Meet and hear Taylor Makohoniuk of American Idol

1

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.

Taylor is part of a brother-sister team that advanced to Hollywood from the Oklahomas City auditions. His sister, Monet Belle, also earned a golden ticket. Taylor, from Waukee, Iowa, said he felt a mixture of shock, surprise and happiness when the judges put him through. As for what makes him unique, he says he likes songs like “To Make You Feel My Love” by Adele and “Hurt” by Christina Aguilera. “I find the common theme of slower ballad songs,” he says. “I think those songs fit my voice well.” His favorite past Idol contestant is Carrie Underwood. “When you watch her, she makes it seem effortless,” he says. Someday, he’d like to be that polished a performer. As for why he sings, Taylor says “he wants to use the gift I’ve been given to help other people.”
