Jared Yates
Do you guys remember Jared Yates? He made it to the final 24 and I can't remember how much farther he made it. Anyway, he's from Danville, IL, which is 20 miles from where I live. He held a concert at my daughters elementary school on Monday, and Olivia was excited because she loves American Idol. She got his autograph, and he drew a heart on it so now she says she's going to marry him. LOL. Anyway, just an update on an old contestant and what he's up to now-a-days.

Re: Jared Yates
Even after viewing a photo of Jared from the American Idol website, I still don't remember him at all. :shock:

He didnt make it past the top 24, and for good reason. But its good that your daughter was so excited :grin:

Yea, I had to look up his picture, also. Liv came home and said that Jared from American Idol was going to come and sing at her school. I had to search to remind me who he was. I know back when he was on the show, there was a lot of hype from it, and his family go to the same church as my brother does, but after he got booted from the show, I hadn't heard anything else about it. But yes, Liv was very excited about it...but she is only 7, lol.
