Vonroe TN | Monroe County TN | 411 The Show

onight for the Atlanta auditions from Season 9 of American Idol, with guest judge Mary J. Blige.

Vanessa Wolfe,19 year old bridge-jumping from Vonore TN, who came to her audition wearing a dress she tells America she got for $4.50 from the Dollar Store. She’s a simple country girl from smack dab in the middle of nowhere with a heart as big as Texas and a voice fit for country music. Simon said she was “incredibly ill-prepared” for Idol because she was nervous but he really liked her, calling her distinct and authentic. They told her to develop some confidence and get ready for Hollywood. This is the kind of contestant I love - sweet, humble, genuine, and ready for anything. As she said, “What’s life without a risk or two?”
