Amanda Overmyer | Indiana American Idol finalist goes home

The final Hoosier leave the stage of American Idol finishing in 11Th place overall. It was a good run for Amanda Overmyer who brought something differ net to the stage of American Idol. We should all learn from her and the other American Idols. If you have a dream or goal, you need to take a chance and go for it. There is nothing worse than looking back in life knowing you didn't take a chance to achieve your dreams. Congratulations Amanda on making it the furthest of all the Indian American Idols. The other remaining American Idols are:
David Archuleta
Brooke White
Ramiele Malubay
Jason Castro
Chikezie Eze
Carly Smithson
Kristy Lee Cook

Amanda Overmyer Makes Final 12 On American Idol

Much as I suspected Amanda Overmyer continued on to make the final 12 American Idol contestants. Unfortunately the other Hoosier, Luke Menard was put back on the bus to Indiana. If you have read my other post this wasn't exactly a shocker. I was surprised to see Asia’h Epperson go home, I thought she was a lock for the top 8. It just goes to show you never know how the voting will go on American Idol. Danny Noriega and Katy Malloy's departure didnt come as much of a surpise to me. Both were just fair performers compared to the others.
Final 12 finalists that move into the next round of American Idol:

Amanda Overmyer - Our last hope for Indiana!!!

Amanda Overmyer Nails It

Simon's reaction to Amanda Overmyer's renditon of Joan Jett's popular song "I Hate Myself For Loving You" was " You nailed It!" all three judges on this weeks American Idol believed it was the type of song she should be singing and she did it well. Finally an Indiana American Idol shines. With that type of performance Amanda Overmyer can overcome the recent scandals with her DUI as well as her unusual hair style. Overall the entire cast of female American Idol finalists did a much better job last night. I personally think they put the men to shame. Brooke White had a second nice performance this week singing "Love Is A Battle Field". The so called ringer Carly Smithson also did a very nice job with her version of "I Drove All Night". In general I feel these were the top 3 from last night but the American Idol voters will let me know for sure tonight. Which American Idol female do you think did the best last night?

American Idol Mens Recap

WHAM!!!! Are you kidding me? Luke what in the world were you thinking. Its sad to say but once again the American Idol judges were not impressed with Luke Menard's song selection. "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go" was Luke's song of choice for the night and might very well be his last. I hate to say it but he will be standing along side David Cook sweating it out come Thursday night's American Idol show.
David Archuleta, Michael Johns, David Hernandez, and Chikeze should all safely continue to be American Idol Finalists in weeks to come. Lets hope Amanda Overmyer can knock the socks off the judges this week or we may be out of Indiana American Idols

Amy Davis Swimsuit Photos And Modeling Career

I have been seeing tons of photos and articles lately on Amy Davis and her swimsuit modeling career. Since this blog is primarily about Indiana American Idol Finalists, I thought I would do a little research on Amy and her swimsuit modeling. I know Amy Davis was eliminated and her voice didn’t stand up to the American Idol voters taste, but she is a fellow Hoosier after all. As I was surfing for more information on modeling career I kept finding the same old photo's that are on everyone’s site these days. That is until I ran across a photographer Greg Reinacker and his blog. Greg evidentially did a photo shoot in St. Thomas over a year ago and Amy Davis was one of his models. Greg very nice work by the way. After viewing his portfolio, I believe we'll be seeing plenty of Amy Davis in the future. Amy might not have made it as an American Idol but she sure has potential as a swimsuit model. THere are some other pictures of American Idol Amy Davis on several sites thoughout the internet

National Enquirer Looking For Amanda Overmyer Nude

Its a shame but recently news about possible mugshot and nude photo's might create issues for Indiana's own American Idol Amanda Overmyer. We hope this isnt true but I have read several blogs discussing similar topics some with actual photo's. Amanda dont let this discourage you it's all part of being in the spot light.

On a brighter note both our Indiana Idols make it past last nights eliminations.
Luke Menard who has been touring in the past with an acapella group did much better this past week. Keep it up Luke. Amanda Overmyer will definately need to rethink her approach to this up coming round of American Idol as judges just were not impressed last week. Hang in there Amanda.

Indiana American Idols Move On

Congrats to both Luke Menard and Amanda Overmyer on avoiding the sharp axe of American Idol voters. Indiana fans are still in the hunt on this one. Alaina Whitaker who Simon Cowell had mentioned as a possible American Idol sleeper was sent packing tears and all. Jason Yeager was another contestant that found his time on American Idol short lived. Best wishes to both these young performers in the future.

As for Amanda Overmyer you better reexamine your song selection and appearance if you expect to make it out of the next round. Were not asking that you change who you are, but the judges attitudes can make or break the American Idol voters response to your performance.

I learned something new about Luke Menard this week that I didn't already know.
He has been performing for some time with an acapella group. Some advice to Luke dont choose Queen songs. Queen has a distinct sound and its hard to ever compare to the original.

Anyway Good Luck to all the remaining contestants.

American Idol Ladies Bomb

Watching last nights American Idol almost made me feel bad. The judges beat up most of the contestants on their song selection. Amanda Overmyer was basically told to completely redo her look. Simon specifially mentioned her "Terrible Hair". Its definately a competition for the men to loose this year in my opinion. We'll find out tonight which two American Idol finalists will go home. lets hope its not Amanda Overmyer or Luke Menard our two remaining hoosier contestants.

Hoosier American Idol | 3 American Idols From Indiana

Hoosiers everywhere have to be overly proud as Indiana has 3 American Idols in the top 24. Season 7 of American Idol kicks off the finals tonight on Fox, and among them are Amy Davis, Amanda Overmyer, and Luke Menard. All three come from home towns right here in Indiana. As a fellow Hoosier I'll watch American Idol with more exictement and anticipation this year.

Amy Davis hails from the small town of Lowell,IN She is a beautiful young 25 year old women pursing a career in modeling and singing.

Amanda Overmyer who calls Mulberry, IN her hometown is age 23 and is considered by many to be one of the top female contenders on this seasons American Idol

Luke Menard is a handsome young man from Crawfordsville,IN. He is 29 yrs old and enjoys lifting weights and riding motorcycles. Luke Menard is one of the lesser known contestants this year. It will be interesting to see how he does.

Hopefully all of the Hoosier American Idols go deep into the competition and represent Indiana in a positive way. Luke will be the first of the three that will perform for us as the men begin on tonights episode.
