One of the younger contestants we met during American Idol’s Milwaukee audition was Thia Megia, she of the movie star name in the words of Jennifer Lopez.
Thia earned a golden ticket to Hollywood by singing Adele’s “Chasing Pavements.”
But her success in the audition shouldn’t have surprised anyone. And here’s betting it didn’t surprise Idol producers.
Thia was a finalist on America’s Got Talent back in season four (2009).
The 15-year-old from California said she decided to audition for Idol as soon as she heard the age limit had been lowered.
So she booked a room in Milwaukee, saying she knew Idol would have auditions in her home state “but I couldn’t summon the patience to wait.”
She expressed a lot more patience on her YouTube channel.
“I’m trying my best with baby steps at a time,” she writes, “until I’m living and breathing my dreams and my destiny.”
If you want to hear more from Thia, here goes …
