Vital Stats:

Name: Giannah Aubrey

The Inside Scoop:

Giannah's passion clearly lies in music. Having competed on American Idol, she's no stranger to testing her vocals against top competition. Giannah in her own words:

 I go to high school, I do sports, but music is where it's at. That's what I do with most of my time. I'll take every opportunity I can to perform for people. It's just what I want to do.

To the country music skeptic:

Country music is in your blood, not your closet. You don't have to like it. The songs are about me.

To potential voters:

This would help with my jump-start. I'm trying to get exposure. Everybody that knows me knows I have a lot to say about everything. I have a lot of stories to tell and I'm ready to make everybody listen whether they like it or not.
