Siobhan Magnus Continues in the Top Seven on American Idol!
photo by Michael Becker / FOX | On Tuesday's FOX network's season nine hit show, American Idol, Siobhan sang Suspicious Minds, by Elvis Presley. Siobhan is a true Elvis fan who credited her parents for turning her on to Elvis. Her performance was well thought out and heartfelt. After the judges' mixed reviews she stated "If I can't even label myself, I don't think it's necessary to be labeled. I just love to sing." Simon Cowell nodded his head in agreement.
Adam Lambart who was this weeks guest mentor said he thought Siobhan was "...a free spirit. She's definitely a dynamic singer and she takes risks."
Join the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod in supporting the very talented Siobhan Magnus by voting for her each week!
