The First Three Americal IDOL Finalists

Three American IDOL contestants moved to the Final Twelve last night.
They are:
Michael Sarver



Michael Sarver, 27, an oil-rig worker from Jasper, Texas who is afraid of the economy where job is not assured in this time of high unemployment.

Danny Gokey


Gokey, 28, who lost his wife, Sophia, to a congenital heart defect, said he worries that the audience might grow weary of hearing about his tragedy.

According to him:
“It’s only been seven months since she passed,” Gokey said. “It’s not that I throw it in people’s faces but I get asked about it all the time. ... I apologize to everybody if it feels like it’s shoved down their face, but it’s so fresh in my mind.”

Alexis Grace



Grace, 21, a single mom from Memphis, Tenn., whose image is the issue.

She is petite, barely five feet tall, sweet-faced and was advised to take a "dirty look for the audition. She has a a young daughter who watches her on TV.



“I kind of like the whole ’60s soul, cocktail-dress kind of vibe thing,” said Grace, who admitted reluctantly (“Most girls wouldn’t like this question”) to being just under 5-foot-tall and weighing shy of 100 pounds.
