amanda overmyer: token rocker grrl


Name: Amanda Overmyer

Age: 23

Audition city: Atlanta

Distinguishing characteristics: She's a biker nurse who's known to pull out a pretty mean take on Janis Joplin.

Skeletons in the closet: None yet...she seems like one of the few contestants who hasn't dabbled much in the professional world.

Sounds like: Every season's token rocker chick -- think Nikki McKibbin and Gina Glocksen

Chances of winning: With the exception of McKibbin, whose third-place finish was widely criticized as a undeserved fluke, most rocker grrls don't advance too far. Still, Overmyer has promise, and a camera-friendly attitude that's likely to hook a solid base of fans.
