Jessica Sierra | Unknown

Before she became one of the most prominent American Idol contestants, Jessica Sierra used to be part of Star Search. The degree of her singing talent helped secure her a spot in the fourth season of American Idol but she was eliminated during their 1990s-themed week. For the episode, she sang LeAnn Rhimes’ On the Side of Angels which left fans bewildered. Her poor performance didn’t sit well with Simon Cowell, who thought her to be among the strongest female singers within the competition. After her brief appearance on the show, the singer continued to perform in concerts and private events.

Along the way, she realized that singing was not for her. After a series of unfortunate circumstances, where the former singer encountered legal troubles, she ended up working  odd jobs just to make ends meet. Not much is known about her current status, but it has been reported that she is sober and continuing her recovery.
