Where Are They Now?

Season One "America's Got Talent"

Denise
If you've ever wondered what happened to some of the finalists last year in America's Got Talent, here is what they are doing now. There are some finalists not included because I do not know what they are doing now, if anything, so here's what I dug up.

Taylor Marie Ware
Remember the little girl who yodeled? From Tennessee she started performing early in life at the tender age of four. She sang and played violin. When she turned six-years-old she sang to senior citizens in the Adopt-A-Grandparent program. Taylor says she read a book on how to yodel at seven years old after going to a program with a friend of hers.

Taylor won the Yahoo! Yodel challenge in 2003, taking home $10,000! She crushed eight other contestants going for the cash. She was also in a Yahoo commercial, and attempted to surpass a Guiness world record challenge. Taylor was also on the Grand Ole Opry. When she was 11, she entered America's Got Talent. She made it to the top five, but lost the million dollar prize to Bianca Ryan.

In 2004 she released her debut album. This year her second album is out that's titled America's Yodeling Sweetheart. Taylor has also appeared on television in Laguna Beach, playing herself, and opened for LeAnn Rimes at the Liberty Bowl in 2006. Her little brother also sings and yodels. He was at the Tennessee State Fair.

At Last
These guys were super hot! They were a hip hop Capella group, or as they like to call themselves 'hiphopapella'. From Los Angeles, they were first seen on America's Got Talent. Members are Michael H. Lee, Justin Fong, Hans Cho, and DJ Say. Husband and wife team, Ming-Na, actress and Eric Zee, a screenwriter, manage them.

They sang R&B covers, such as "Ain't No Sunshine". Beat boxing is added in, which defines their sound. DJ say left the band and is going after a solo career. The name of the band has changed to Tatum Jones.

Celtic Spring
They are the family that fiddles and dances. From California, the wood family includes the father, Greg Wood who plays bodhran, Mother Mary Wood playing keyboards, and their six kids. They are from oldest to youngest, Elizabeth who is 20, Deirdre who is 18, Sean who is 16, Patrick who is 14, Maire who is 10 and Aidan who is 6.

Before getting on America's Got Talent, they were on Good Morning America, The Steve Harvey Show, Life On The Rock and Nippon TV which is in Japan. They toured Canada in 2005 and did a European tour in 2004. They also completed their first album the same year called At The Source.
