Meet your American Idol<\/em> semifinalists. The nation’s favorite TV talent show unveiled the 24 aspiring crooners who will be singing their hearts out for America next week. However, at least two standouts were among the vocalists left standing on the sidelines. Thaddeus Johnson — the 17-year-old who impressed at Hollywood Week with his \u201cMan In The Mirror\u201d performance — and Chicago native Angela Martin. Angela, a two-time Idol<\/em> contestant, competed in Hollywood Week this year, despite the fact that her mother has been missing since Christmas. Angela Martin? Really?! They rejected her? This is the woman whose dad was killed before she could take advantage of her Golden Ticket the first year she auditioned, and was in jail for unpaid traffic tickets she couldn’t afford to take care of despite her invitation to Hollywood the second year.<\/p>\n
