American Idol Season 13 Contestant Jessica Meuse Working Hard To Stay In The Game!

meu

What is the one thing you remember most about top five finalist Jessica Meuse? Most likely her hometown of Slapout, Alabama. With a population of just over 4,000, Jessica’s success on the show (still watched by millions) was a huge deal for the small town. And after spending several months living in Hollywood and touring the country with her Idol family, Jessica Meuse recently returned home to Slapout.

And while she is glad to be home, she is more than ready to get back to California. The 24-year-old singer will be returning to Los Angeles for the first time in months to perform in The E. Spot Lounge at Vitello’s. Her first-ever live gig in Los Angeles is set for Feb. 14.

Meuse told The Hollywood Reporter the following…

I love Los Angeles and the people in it. I’m thankful I have this opportunity and that I get to perform outside of my region, especially when the place where I’m performing is like a second home.

So, what has Jessica been doing since the Idol tour? Hiding out in Slapout? Applying for a job at the local diner in town? No way. She is a musician, and she is still living the dream.

I’ve been performing, writing and keeping the creative energy going. I’ve played a range of shows from Alabama to Georgia and I’m booking several festivals for the summer. I’m staying as busy as possible, while working on new material and finding management.

That’s really great to hear. She certainly didn’t start off season 13 as the most likeable contestant, but I found myself rooting for her a few weeks before she was voted off.

Hopefully she has a long and successful career in the business. Don’t settle for Slapout, Jessica!
