On Friday night Asia'h Epperson will kick off the festivities at Hammons Field by singing the national anthem before the game between the Spingfield Cardinals and the St. Louis Cardinals.

She is excited about performing live in front of the community.

Asia'h Epperson was a contestant on season seven, currently in progress, of American Idol. She was eliminated on and did not make it to the final twelve.

While on the show, she was know for tackling power ballads and not shying away from songs previously made famous by divas such as Whitney Houston and Celine Dion. Asia'h Epperson grew up and currently lives in Joplin.

Is Asia'h Epperson Going Back to American Idol

The internet is abuzz with rumors and speculation that this blog's favorite contestant may be given an American Idol second chance.

It has been suggested that Ryan Seacrest will announce the there will be a wild card spot on the American Idol tour given to one of the contestants who wasn't successful in making the top 10.

While it wouldn't mean that Asia'h Epperson will comeback to compete for the top prize, it would be nice for her to get the additional exposure that a place on the tour provides. We wish her all the best.

Maybe Asia'h didn't get kicked off for good; we can only hope.

Asia'h Epperson Got Kicked off American Idol

The results are in and Asia'h Epperson lost American Idol.

The contestant Entertainment Weekly called a shoo-in for the Top 12 was sent home. Singing Whitney Houston's, "I Wanna Dance With Somebody", Asia'h Epperson was the first to go up and that might have been her ultimate undoing. With seven women performing after her and vying for the six spots, she may have been forgotten by the voters by the end of the show.

Asia'h didn't make the contest an easier for herself either, by repeated tackling tough songs as further illustrated by performing Celine Dion's version of "All By Myself" the week before.

Who else got kick off?

The multiple elimination show also saw Kady Malloy, Luke Menard and Danny Noriega get cut. The tension was intensified by American Idol's customary practice of drawing out the results. In the end I agree that Kady, Luke and Danny were the right choices to go home this week, but I am truly disappointed that we are saying goodbye to Asia'h Epperson.

She dealt with a great personal tragedy when her father was killed in an automobile accident just two days before the Atlanta American Idol auditions. She must have drawn tremendous strength from that because from day one, she has consistently given it her all.
