Diana Degarmo

She is one of the most recognized teenagers in America, but she's not just well-known. She is also a positive role model, a perfect example of achieving a dream while dealing with life's ups and downs. She is 17-year-old Diana DeGarmo, and her life hasn't been the same since she competed on the third season of "American Idol," finishing in the top two. Now, her debut album is on the charts. Reviewing the CD, Billboard raved that "Idol" fans will "find their heroine in Diana DeGarmo's trustworthy debut, 'Blue Skies,'" and called the album "radically refreshing" and filled with "timeless pop melodies that display a voice we've come to love."
