Mishavonna Henson was born on July 25, 2000 and grew up in Texas but is now living in Irvine, California. She is a contestant in the American Idol’s latest season and was chosen to be included as one of the top 36 contestants. She first auditioned in Phoenix, Arizona. People might not be aware and might not remember that Mishavonna also auditioned during the last season of American Idol and even reached Hollywood but was not really able to show everyone her talent. This season, she is looking to overtake what she has achieved last season.

It is nice to know that Mishavonna Henson learned how to sing even before she was really able to talk and converse with other people. She first experienced singing in front of a large crowd in church. It is amazing to note that she is well rounded because aside from dancing, playing the piano and guitar, her list of hobbies also includes acting, and horseback riding. And even though she is regularly engaging herself in these hobbies, she is still able to maintain a good academic life as she is still taking several classes at one junior college. The truth is it would not be a surprise to know that most people are not aware that this young girl is also an actress and that she has appeared in a show in Nickelodeon named Unfabulous. Another one of the shows that she has appeared in is a sitcom in NBC entitled Frasier. Like mentioned above, she is a well-rounded person that she is able to involve herself in different fields and be able to juggle them all at the same time.

But out of all her hobbies, music stands out because for her, music is not just that. For her, music is one of the methods in which she expresses and communicates her feelings. As a matter of fact, even in her music she is proving that she is really well-rounded because she is living music in her life where country and modern tunes are combined. More than that, even her life is actually a mix of two opposite worlds for even if she is living her life under the limelight, she still brings with her and applies all the traditional values that she has acquired through the years.

Mishavonna Henson sang the song “Drops of Jupiter” of Train as her first song in the competition. The song actually is right for the range of her voice but throughout all the jumps of melodies in the song, her voice usually disappears. Although this was the case, it was generally a very strong performance and the problem does not really concern her voice or her manner of singing but on the way she handles the microphone.
Surely, Mishavonna Henson has a lot more to improve in her singing career but we also should not become skeptics. For all we know, this girl is just waiting for the right time to shine and let others know of her capabilities. After all, a girl with such talent and glow will eventually find her way in this industry.
