“In This Life” By Elise Testone

Not to discredit or belittle Testone’s experience on “American Idol,” but it would seem she’s a stronger artist for her defiance to the “Idol” system than for her adherence to it. This Coastal Carolina University alum seems to have made it to sixth place on the eleventh season of the reality show by choosing songs to perform that she was passionate about, and then singing the shit out of them.
