(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)

Heather Todd is an indie singer who released an album on iTunes this year. She actually has a really good voice for recorded music and her songs sound well mixed for being done on a small label. Many of her songs could already be played on pop/rock radio (except the cliche "Nothing But the Blood (Of Jesus)", and one already has been. Her song "Over My Head" was picked up by about a dozen small radio stations in 2008. So she has that going for her. Despite her mainstream vocals, she's a bit of an oddball appearance wise. So will we like her or will the producers craft her into a plant? We'll see soon enough.
