Jessica Reedy  - We first met gospel songstress Jessica Reedy on season two Sunday Best. While she didn't take the crown, she did use the platform to built a wonderful gospel career, proving that one should never give up. Candice Glover also showed that one should never give up when she re-auditioned on season 12 of American Idol, were she was crowned after losing on season nine. (Photo: Michael Buckner/Getty Images For BET)

It wouldn't be long before she had her answer.(Photo: Michael Buckner/Getty Images For BET)
