Joanne Borgella

Beautiful New Jersey native Joanne Borgella began singing when she was just a small child, and turned her interest into a professional pursuit by the time she was 13. She was working as a plus-sized model when season-seven American Idol auditions came through Philadelphia, and Borgella jumped at the chance. She wowed the judges with a stellar audition and not only made it to Hollywood, but to the prestigious top 24. ~ Cammila Albertson, All Movie Guide
