Meet the Contestants, Part 2

Just in case you need a little refresher course in who these fools are:



Antonella Barba
20, Point Pleasant NJ
The less-objectionable of the Amanda-and-Antonella pair. At least in my opinion, she's been essentially nice and hardworking and in possession of a great voice, but her jackass of a friend kept pulling focus. Her favorite artists include all the usual suspects (Stevie, Justin, Mariah, Whitney, Xtina, Michael Jackson).




Gina Glocksen
22, Naperville IL
Auditioned last year, when she was fronting an all-girl rock band. This year she sounded shakier in auditions but stronger in Hollywood. She's utterly in love with Simon. Favorite artists include Kelly Clarkson, KT Tunstall, Celine Dion, Sheryl Crow.



Brandon Rogers
28, North Hollywood CA
Brandon used to be a backup singer for Anastacia and Christina Aguilera. The judges really flipped over him. Favorite artists: Stevie Wonder, Beyonce.




Chris Richardson
22, Chesepeake VA
Auditioned in New York, and the judges compared him to Justin Timberlake. (Which is a good thing, haters!) He plays guitar and piano, looks forward to thanking GOD when he wins, and enjoys the music of Justin, Michael Jackson, James Brown, and "early '90s Mariah."
