Local ‘American Idol’ contestant talks
The local ‘American Idol’ contestant shared her experience on the local Fox affiliate last night (Feb. 13).
Unlike some of the stories we hear about high school students, Mia Coleman’s, a Wayne High School senior, story is a good one. Coleman appears to be an outstanding student who is “involved in everything.” Coleman tells the Fox 45 reporter that her goal is to have a career in singing to “inspire people” and “to sing and reach out to people.”
Coleman said it was her “dad (who) actually wanted her to audition for American Idol.”
“I never really watched it and I really was never into it,” she continued.
Some of Coleman’s teachers at Wayne High School called the teen, ” a lovely student,” and “an all-around high achiever.”
“We were all taken by her voice,” Coleman’s principal swooned.
In the interview that aired after the show, Coleman said she started singing in about the sixth grade. She went on to say Simon was actually nice to her - the other two were on the fence for her.
Coleman said she’s looking to get more experience under her belt and then maybe go back (to Idol) and try again. Her plans after graduation include college, where she hopes to major in vocal performance.
I say congrats Mia!

It’s sad… but, no, Mia Coleman did not make the top 24.
Josiah Leming (myspace page link) was a personal disappointment - I thought he might make it through… I loved his energy - oh well. Clearly his exit was one of the longest, weepy moments of the night.
Next week we finally get down to the action… Did your favorite make it through?
