Biography |
Jessica Ann Sierra (born November 11, 1985 in Tampa,
Florida) is an American singer and was the tenth-place
finalist on the fourth season of American Idol. She was the
third finalist eliminated, on March 30, 2005.
Sierra is from Tampa, Florida, and auditioned in Orlando.
She was also a contestant on Star Search before auditioning
for Idol, and was a nanny. Sierra started singing in church
at the age of 3. As a teenager, she performed for Presidents
Bill Clinton and George W. Bush in singing and dancing
ensembles. She first auditioned for Idol in the second
season, but was rejected.
She was eliminated on March 30, during 1990s music week,
after she sang LeAnn Rimes' "On the Side of Angels",
surprising some fans since Simon Cowell had previously
stated that she was one of the strongest female vocalists in
the competition.
Sierra dated fellow American Idol 4 contestant, Nikko Smith
for several months. In an April 2006 article in the
Tennessean, Sierra confirmed the relationship but said the
two broke up shortly after New Year's. |
