Ricky Braddy is one of the luckiest people who got into the Top 36 contestants who will move on to the next round in Hollywood out of all the millions who tried their luck and auditioned. This 25-year old guy auditioned in Louisville at Kentucky. Ricky Braddy was one of the first 12 contestants who performed and unfortunately, he did not garner a lot of votes that will make it enough for him to move on to the next round and become one of the 12 finalists.
He earned his Commercial Vocal Performance degree from the Belmont University in Nashville at Tennessee. His love for music really rooted from childhood because Ricky Braddy started to learn how to sing when he was just 4 years of age because of his participation in the church choir. Right now, Ricky Braddy is currently living in Nashville in Tennessee, but he really grew up in North Carolina in Elizabeth City.
When his batch performed, he sang the song “A Song for You” by Leon Russell and the judges felt that there was something missing about his performance. Maybe the song was not right for him since the judges gave him a different comment when he was still auditioning. As a matter of fact, Paula Abdul even gave him a standing ovation when he auditioned in Louisville.
Who would have thought that this guy actually as a fan site called “The Braddy Bunch” and was technically started by his parents because every single time that he joined a contest, his parents always make it a point to wear shirts with the text “The Braddy Bunch” printed on it; and of course, this eventually where the name of Ricky’s fan club came from. Recently though, this specific fan site of Ricky Braddy has been threatened to be shut down because it accused the site of giving Ricky unnecessary and unfair exposure. This was after her parents mentioned the name of this fan site on national television. But word has it that The Braddy Bunch Online is already backed up and running again for all the supporters of Ricky!
Although many people are really supporting the talents and capabilities of Ricky, it still was not enough to put him and let him enter the next round and be part of those who will be included in the slots of the 12 finalists. Of course, others are agreeing with this outcome of the competition while others are not happy with it because they feel that Ricky deserves more time to show other people and the world what he’s got. There are also other people who are hoping that Ricky can have another chance in the competition through the wild card process. But even if Ricky does not get another chance in the competition everyone knows, not only his supporters, that this is not the end of his singing career; rather, it is just the start because for sure, many doors will open up for him in the future.
So it is just right for everyone, most especially his supporters, to continue watching out for the things that he has to offer for everyone.

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.
