(None of these contestants are 100% confirmed in Hollywood, but we have sources that suggest they've made it to Hollywood for season 9 of American Idol)
Jeffrey David Goldford attended the University of Kansas and played in bands that opened for Blues Traveler and G Love and the Special Sauce. His band Everyday People also had their EP "Complicated" played on MTV's The Real World in April 2005. David then moved to Chicago and is a part of the music scene there. This guy's inclusion in Idol isn't shocking. He's basically the same thing we see every year but with a different name. Is he fodder?
ouch. He's bad.... he probably made it after they saw a bunch of rejects. He won't get past the first round in Hollywood I predict. The guy has less than one octave range.
I think he sounds like Gokey too. Which is why I'm predisposed to not liking him currently. I doubt he has a dead wife though, so he then earns some points back.
This guy used to sing/ play with a band in Austin, Texas. Ive seen him live and he is awesome! Very fun show, and his voice really is amazing. I hope he makes it! That would be so great!
This guy is fantastic. Trust me, I used to go watch him sing with The Everyday People in Austin. A great band, with some great original songs and a good live performance. Look then up on iTunes or on their website. I think you'll be impressed.
