Su cantante Charles Camino a Hollywood para American Idol

ASPEN, Colorado (defend.ht) - cantante haitiano-estadounidense Do "tal" Charles recibió su boleto de oro de American Idol. Este billete es su pasaporte a Hollywood para competir contra los mejores del país para ser American Idol de este año.

De SuCh's facebook page, she has been singing since she found out she had a voice. "I sang in the Grammy HS Ensemble, toured LA alongside music's luminaries. Came back, was told "Get a degree and a job." 10 yrs later I'm turning a deaf ear and coming back FULL force to my first love. Stay with me!" the description continues.

"As a performer, SuCh has enough energy to power a small city; as a songwriter, she gives new meaning to life's complex twists and turns. She does both with melodies that soar, woven in her clear, soulful voice, spiriting her audiences away to distant lands, forgotten memories, and dreams of a better world."

She is influenced by, Aretha Franklin, Jill Scott, Sarah Vaughan, Lauryn Hill, Chrisette Michele, Ella Fitzgerald, Barbra Streisand, Adele

SuCh is the second Haitian-American to make it to the competitive rounds of American Idol after Joanne Borgella.
