Candice Glover

What stays with me about Candice Glover is not that she won American Idol, but that she auditioned three times before they ever put her on the live stage. That kind of stubborn refusal to quit interests me far more than raw talent. Plenty of singers have a great voice; very few keep showing up after being told no, twice. By the time her debut album arrived, you could hear a voice that had earned its place rather than been handed it. I tend to trust performers who were rejected and came back anyway, and Glover is exactly that sort of artist.
