Name: Rodesia Eaves
Season: 1

Rodesia's video package made it look like Idol forced her to choose the song 'Daydream Believer', which it seems she'd never heard before in her life. All I can say is thank you to whoever made that decision, because it led to an unforgettable performance. Before singing, Rodesia promised that she was going to make the song her own, and boy did she.
