Let’s start with cutie Kevin Covais, 16, who just got voted off on March 22, 2006.
Covais hometown is Levittown, NY and he auditioned in Boston. Talk about a long
drive! His favorite singer is Kelly Clarkson, former American Idol contestant of
course. Favorite male is Brian McKnight, of ‘I remember you’ fame. Covais started
singing at the ripe old age of 10 and has taken formal private lessons for the past
four years. His other talents include acting and a professional sports geek. Hum,
does that mean he maybe have been voted off American Idol but will we see him up
on the Silver Screen soon. Well.....He did get his wish of being in the top 24 and
now he will return back to high school. Covais’s next goals are to either pursue a
singing/acting or journalism career. I think so! His choice of music is surprising, he
owns Kayne West-The College dropout and considers his dad, his American Idol.
Before each performance, Covais just took it easy. His favorite judge, drum roll....
Please... it's Simon and he doesn’t believe in luck. Covais's toughest obstacle has
been dealing with his diabetes. Can everyone relate to that? I sure can !!!
Although we know Covais wasn’t the most popular contestant on the show you
have to applaud him that he got to the top 12. Way to go Kevin!!!

The next contestant, Elliot Yamin,27, with bad teeth and an excellent voice. Yamin
is a Richmond, Va native and will survive if he dosen’t makes it on American Idol.
He wants to pursue a career in music of course.Yamin’s personal goals are to
educate people in music and diabetes. He would love to meet Magic Johnson. Who
know if he keeps on winning he just might! Yamin likes to listen to George Michael.
His greatest American Idol is his Mom, since she is a very strong willed woman. His
biggest obstacle has been overcoming his diabetes and most people are surprised
he wears an insulin pump. Yamin also likes Simon as a judge and his going on
American Idol validated his singing abilities. His rituals before performing are deep
breaths and praying. By the way, Elliot starting singing when he was five!!!
So get out that phone number of Yamin and make sure he stays in the top.

Let's all give a big yahoo to Elliott Yamin and Kevin Covais! Both of these singers
wear an insulin pump to control their type one diabetes! if anyone knows what kind
of pumps they use, post it here... just out of curiosity!
