Denise Jackson - american Idol 6

Sixteen year old Denise Jackson was the first singer to make it through to Hollywood on the American Idol 6 premiere. Denise was from Madison, Wisconsin, and she revealed an inspiring background story. Denise said that she had been born a crack baby and was going to be sent to a foster home, but her grandmother came and rescued her.

Denise said, “Knowing that I was born that way, I thank God, you know because many people have disabilities from these things, and there’s nothing wrong with me, I was actually born with a gift, you know a wonderful gift, I can sing.”

Denise Jackson sang Billie Holiday’s “You’re Gonna Love Me.” After her audition, Paula Abdul said “Pretty powerful, pretty powerful, pretty adorable.” Simon Cowell said “Well, you did everything right. You’ve got two minutes to audition, you came in, belted it out, proved at sixteen you can do that, good on you. I think you’re a very good singer potentially.” All four judges agreed on putting Denise through to Hollywood.
