Beautiful, talented, ambitious, interesting - here are the 12 female contestants that made it through the Hollywood stages of season 7 of American Idol:

Kady Malloy

Carly Smithson

Kristy Lee Cook

Asia’h Epperson

Joanne Borgella

Ramiele Malubay

Syesha Mercado



We’ll be adding a poll in the next few days so that you can tell us who your favorite female contestant is - in the mean time, if you have sometime to share, put it in the comments!

Kady Malloy is an incredibly talented singer, with an ability to sound just like Britney Spears!


For a minute it looked like the singer might blow her audition by not sounding original enough (though noone could have denied she obviously has talent…). But that all changed when she did a version of Unchained Melody, and simply blew everyone away!


(Good tip to bear in mind if you’re auditioning that - if you’re asked to sing something as “you”, and you’re a girl, then sing a man’s song (and vice versa…))


Anyway, here’s the clip:

In Dallas 24 contestants were successful in gaining a ticket to the next stages of American Idol, although thousands more were not! (Italian Opera duetting brother-sister duo - I mean, c’mon people!?!)


Although we do not have full details of who made it through, the following people will be seen again:

• Kyle Ensley
• Drew Poppelreiter
• Nina Shaw
• Kady Malloy
• Colton Swon
• Jessica Brown
• Kayla Hatfield
• Pia Easley
• Brandon Green
• Alaina Whitaker

We look forward to seeing a lot more of them in the future, and will be bringing you pics and videos as they come available!
