Danny Noriega

Danny Noriega began singing when he was just a child, and by the time he was 16, he was ready for the next stop. He auditioned for season six of American Idol but didn't make the cut. Undeterred, Noriega tried again for season seven and blew the judges away not only with his refined vocal performance, but with his effervescent personality. He was sent on to Hollywood, where he survived the cuts and earned a spot in the top 24. ~ Cammila Albertson, All Movie Guide
