Judd Harris – Eliminated!

I was very pissed off when I saw that Judd was being kicked off..he was awesome...is awesome!!!

wow judd harris is one fine fellow....and hes so talented!! why the crap did he get voted off?? i just love the song he performed, only he could do that good of a job with it. you havent seen the last of judd, and if he doesnt audition for american idol next year, you'll definitely see him somewhere else in the future!! you go judd!! im rootin 4 ya!!!

AHHH! I WANTED TO SCREAM! Judd was one of the best guys there!...even though Travis is SO effing cute, he should have gone before Judd! and Judd's quite cute himself :)

My name is Thomas Saunders. I played guitar in one of Judd Harris' former bands titled "Velvet Soul".

Judd is one of the most talent musicians I've ever worked with! I remember when we first auditioned him at Ultra Sound Studios in NYC. We knew right away that he was the front man for the band.

Judd has a broad range of singing abilities. He can do R&B, Blues, Rock-n-Roll, Pop, you name it.

It was truly a pleasure working with Judd. We played many various venues in NYC such as The Elbow Room, The Bitter End, The Izzy Bar, Acme Underground, etc.

I always said Judd would make it one day and being on American Idol only confirms this belief. Believe when I tell you, "You haven't heard the last of Judd Harris". I'm so proud of you Judd. Just like Chuck Berry said, "Maybe one day your name will be in lights". Take it all the way Judd!

some AI facts:

· Amanda Avila, 23, from Rowland Heights, California, sung, and lost, on a January 2003 episode of CBS' now defunct Star Search revival. She's also a onetime backup singer for Smokey Robinson (which her Fox bio notes) and a pal of Josh Groban (which her Fox bio doesn't note).

· Another Star Search vet is Nadia Turner, 28, from Miami. She appeared on the show in January 2004, winning a preliminary round before losing to the season's eventual champ--a turn of events not noted in the Fox release. The network says she most recently drew a paycheck as a bartender/waitress.

· In 2000, Celena Rae, now 29, of Fort Worth, Texas, was crowned winner of the syndicated show Your Big Break, which encouraged contestants to mimic singers more famous than themselves. (Rae did Martina McBride, which Fox won't tell you, but an Internet search will.) A contract with Hollywood Records supposedly was part of the winner's lot. But like all good aspiring Idols, Rae is not currently on the label's artist roster.

· Nikko Smith, 22, of St. Louis, is the contestant formerly known as Osbourne Smith II, aka the son of St. Louis Cardinals baseball great Ozzie Smith.

· Touted on Idol as the rock guy (or one of them, anyway), Constantine Maroulis, 29, of New York City, also is a working actor. He's toured the world in Rent--the Las Vegas Review-Journal last year said the production was "greatly hurt" by his "bland performance"--and appeared in productions of Hedwig & the Angry Inch and Macbeth.

· Bo Bice, 29, from Alabama, Idol's other rock guy, has opened for Warrant, and performed and recorded with Allman Brothers Band keyboardist Johnny Neal.

· Joseph Murina, 26, from Smithtown, New York, was crowned "Long Island Idol" by a Long Island radio station in 2003. He's also done Showtime at the Apollo, and the 1st District Court in New York's Suffolk County, where he works.

· Vonzell Solomon, 20, of Fort Myers, Florida, presumably has braved snow, sleet and hail as a carrier for the U.S. Postal Service (although maybe not so much of the snow, being based in the South and all). Last year, she released her first album/demo, My Struggle, which, in an cringe-worthy coincidence, bears the same title as Hitler's autobiography/screed.

· Mario Vasquez, 27, of New York City, starred in From Justin to Kelly--sorry, that was Justin Guarini. Vasquez, who could pass for the Idol alum, currently, in the words of the most nebulous-sounding of the Fox bios, "works with emerging artists within the New York music world." (One previously emerged artist he's worked with: Michael Jackson.)

Idol producers this season raised the upper age limit to 28, thereby inviting more seasoned performers to audition. (As an FYI, hopefuls merely have to be 28 when they audition, explaining how a trio of rickety 29-year-olds wound up in the semifinals.)
Experience is not against Idol rules. Contestants can be veterans of record and management contracts, as long as they're unsigned when they present themselves to Simon Cowell and company.

so you wont feel too bad here's his band's website www.visiblefromspace.com some audio clips for you to enjoy.

I agree... that did suck. I thought he was really good personally. oh well.

Hi. I'm just wondering. Are you Martha or Matthew? Do you catch my drift?
