Who is Kia Thortnon?

Aside from seeing the very talented Kia Thornton audition on American Idol this season, I've never heard of her before. However, apparently she was once famous and had some hit songs which is causing a stir among American Idol fans. How many of you remember the group, Divine, that she was in? Do you remember the songs from way back in 1998? I certainly DO NOT.

I was reading Idol Chatter today when I came across this latest development and wanted to see what everyone thought of it here but first I'll share my quick and to the point thoughts. I see no problem with her being on American Idol. A few others in similar situations have been on the show before. Besides, she is working for a cell phone company for crying out loud (atleast for now...don't know how long that will last). So, give her a chance.

On to my readers, should she have been allowed to audition for American Idol? Isn't American Idol for amateurs? What's your take?

And, if you don't want to see any spoilers then don' t continue reading....

Unfortunately, Kia Thorton doesn't make it past the Hollywood round. You can read the whole story here. It doesn't say exactly why but it MAY have something to do with that original record deal and very brief hit songs.
