Angela Martin Ellen DeGeneres 2/19/10 American Idol Castoff
Ellen Surprises ‘American Idol’ Reject Angela Martin Finally, some good news for American Idol’s most determined and cursed contestant, Angela Martin. As you know, Angela has made it to American Idol’s Hollywood Week during three separate seasons only to have her dreams crushed by inexplicable tragedy and the judges’ denial. For season 9, we were positive Angela would be in the Top 24, as her inspiring story and hard luck was featured heavily. Simon Cowell went as far as saying Angela was “the kind of story this show is all about.” But as you know, it was not meant to be and Angela was told for a third and final time she would not be an American Idol semi-finalist. As Kara Dioguardi tried to soften the brutal blow, she told Angela “don’t worry, there are other ways to succeed.” And it would seem Kara, with the help of fellow Idol judge Ellen DeGeneres are doing all they can to make sure Angela does succeed. Ellen invited Angela on her other show this morning to talk about her time on Idol, her missing mother, and to surprise her with what we hope is Angela’s first big break. Watch the heart-warming video for yourself and maybe have a tissue or two near by.

So, wheres her single? D:
OMG, this is fantastic and very touching. I’m glad this young lady was able to get help after all she’s been through, and I’m glad she’s getting her break. What a great singer!
i can’t believe that they kicked her off of american idol, what a stupid ass cast of people , it should be paula simon, and randy, fuck them new ass douche baga
this is a very beatiful women and im gonna buy her cd when it comes out.
@Azelf3 Oh she already got signed? LOL.
I hope she gets signed.
@SuperPanetone True, didnt think she was gonna win the whole anything anyways. She sings well, but lacks the star power to win it all.
i cannot believe they took ashley rodriguez, janell wheeler, and haeley vaughn over her. it was ridiculous.
she is the best if she made it to the top 24 she has the chance to win…she is better singer to other contestant exccept lee dewyze and crystal bewyrsocs hehehehe
wauw, in the netherlands we don“t even got this kinda singers in the final round
So when does her song come out????
Angela martin May 9th 2010 at the regal thearter in chicago. Come out and see what makes her the star she is ……..
love how she dont have to say a word.. she hugged ellen and it says it all.
I am disappointed that the judges made a mistake and denied Angela Martin a place in the top 24. She should have made the top 24 instead of Haeley Vaughn, who should have waited until season 11. If she made the top 24, I would have pulled for her.
she deserves it i hope they do it fast and have her perform on the finale of AI what would be a big FU
after everything she’s been through, she deserves it!
@arturesteve It does seem a bit off/odd, in all, but in the end, I’m happy for her. As I just said to another poster here, I really wish she was able to get some more exposure first. But we will see! I hope she really takes off!! With that much possible money, she could afford the best care for her daughter at home.
@ PassionSoul – those are my thoughts EXACTLY! I do wish her the best, but I wish she was able to have gotten more exposure first.
I kinda have the feeling that this was all planned. Kara said so many things to her on her judgment in Hollywood, so it didn’t make sense that she was eliminated. She’s an amazing vocalist, but I don’t know if she would’ve won, considering it’s more of a popularity contest once the real show begins…maybe they planned it like this because they took it personal and wanted her to have a deal?
If there won’t be problems?! I mean when she always invite people from american idol , who she likes much, to her show….
