Jessica Sierra

Everyone knows David Archuleta won Star Search when he was 12. But did you know that he competed against Alexandrea Lushington (yep, the same girl from this year's top 24) on the show and beat her? She was much better than him, but he had been pimped so much by the judges, they let him win. It looks like exactly what's going to happen this year! Not only that, American Idol has always been recycling Star Search contestants for their show. Among the reused contestants from the past are Lisa Tucker from season 5, hot mess Jessica Sierra and fro queen Nadia Turner from season 4's top 12, Joe Murena and Amanda Avila from season 4's top 24, and Tatiana McConnico who had her audition shown from season 6. With all of this lame recycling going on, American Idol should open a plant!

Former Idol Contestant Jessica Sierra Arrested



Season 4 American Idol contestant Jessica Sierra was arrested Sunday on assault and drug charges. She was arrested in Tampa for hitting a guy over the head with a glass, and when she was searched, a police office found cocaine on her. Looks like she was taking after season 4 winner Carrie "Farmbot" Underwood and acting out a real life version of Before He Cheats. Jessica had problems with a creepy guy stalking her in the past, and it seems like this is outside her character, so we'll keep you updated if we find out anything else about this situation.
