From Homeless To Hollywood: Anderson From ‘American Idol’ Shares His Story – But Anderson’s story serves as a reminder that homelessness doesn’t have to be forever. After moving to New York, the young musician received help from the Covenant House, including his own (and very first!) guitar. He was ready for his “Idol” audition, and the help he received from the Covenant House was highlighted by the show. Now Anderson is getting mega love from Hollywood, and I’m not talking about his own name. The soulful crooner is ready to kick out stereotypes about homelessness and help homeless youth, and he’s also got his eyes on the prize: guest-starring on “The Ellen Show” and singing for the First Family. “I love Ellen, I want to be on ‘Ellen,’” he said. “Also, I want to sing for the Obamas and make Michelle and his daughters cry and say, ‘Hollywood did it.’” People can definitely rise out of homelessness, and they do so every day when they receive the right opportunities and help. – Read more at MTV

Former Idol Star Talks Fear, Fame, and Femininity – On a winter’s night, Jaidah Christina Davila is reflecting on her days as a contestant on TV’s American Idol in 2013. She appeared on season 12 of the singing competition using a masculine first name and a gender-fluid presentation. “I was a force to be reckoned with,” Davila says. Her Idol performance of Adele’s “Rumor Has It” proved that. And as a fan, she says she knew what to expect: “Twelve years of watching the show and seeing how they pull people who look ridiculous and sound ridiculous, well, they were surprised that I could actually sing. – Read more at The Advocate

‘American Idol’ Judge Harry Connick Jr. on Keith Urban and Jennifer Lopez: ‘We All Come From the Same School of Hard Work’ – “We’re all good friends. I’ll stop by Keith’s trailer or say hi to Jen. We go out to dinner. Sometimes in this ­business you show up to work with people and, frankly, it’s a drag. But with them, it’s fun. We all come from the same school of hard work.” – Read more at Billboard
