Meet Jurnee, the Milspouse Who’s Got a Real Shot on ‘American Idol’ – My mom actually was the one that always was obsessed with it. I never wanted to watch because it felt like a chore. I wanted to hang out with friends and do whatever and she was like, “No, come watch Idol.” I never really ended up liking it until I was on the show. It’s the funniest thing. My first time really watching it was when I was on it. The last season my mom made me watch with her, I found this singer on there named Jessica Sanchez. I was obsessed with her. When I heard they were doing auditions in Denver, I was like, “Oh, my gosh, I have to go.” I literally need to audition. And it was really Jessica that inspired me to audition in the first place. – Read more at Military.com

David Cook Interview LIVE from HMH Stage 17!

5 Questions With Melinda Doolittle – The world was introduced to your beautiful singing talents when you competed on American Idol Season 6. Do you still have contact with some of the finalists from that season who competed with you? M. DOOLITTLE: Yes, all the time! They’re like family for me. Jordin (Sparks) is having a baby and I was part of planning her baby shower. She still calls me ‘Momma’ and I still call her ‘Baby Girl.’ (she laughs). We’ve remained close for the last eleven years. I enjoy talking with Jordin about some of the stuff that I get to do in my career and she’s like, ‘Hey, I want to do that too’’ And she does the same with me. Gina (Glocksen), who was also from my season, just had her second baby. Whenever I’m in Chicago, I visit her and spend time with her family. I also still stay in touch with Chris Richardson, Lakeisha Jones, and Blake Lewis. These are my people. I love them and we all have just continued to stay in touch over the years since we were all competing together on the show. – Read more at Tribune.com
