Jenny Beth Willis

Cross this one off the bucket list!  Yesterday, Jenny Beth Willis of Owensboro had the incredible opportunity to perform the National Anthem at KFC Yum! Center.  According to Jenny Beth, it's something that she has wanted to do since she was a little girl.  And, as her mom accurately described it, her performance was a "slam dunk"!  Watch!

In 2013, two former Battle for The Big O finalists made it deep into American Idol.  Owensboro's Jenny Beth Willis was one of the show's Top 20 girls.  And Paul Jolley, who was a finalist in our competition two years ago, made it all the way to the Idol Top 10 and spent the summer on tour with his fellow finalists.  This season, yet another contestant with ties to our annual talent competition is

Owensboro's Jenny Beth Willis, fresh off her national television appearance on American Idol, has her sights set on a new competition.  And last week at O'Bryan's Bar and Grill, she took on the song "Up To The Mountain" and blasted her way into the finals of WBKR's Battle for the Big O.  Check out her performance.  It was amazing!

The Lanham Brothers, Randy and Barry, likely never dreamed the words American Idol would appear on their posters for the Lanham Brothers Jamboree.  But, this month, they are!  Jenny Beth Willis, who was one of the Top 20 girls on the most recent season of Idol, is set to headline the June edition of the Jamboree.  In fact, in April, she made a surprise appearance on the show and sang an amazing du

We all watched our hometown girl Jenny Beth Willis sing her heart out on American Idol over the past few weeks. And, we were all sad when she got sent home last week. This morning, she was set to return to the real world of a high school student at Owensboro Catholic High. When the school contacted us about helping out her "Welcome Back" party, we were more than happy to join in the fun!

We didn't get a chance to talk about this last week because of our 2-day St. Jude Radiothon, but it is definitely worth revisiting.  Check out Jenny Beth Willis' performance of "Heaven, Heartache and the Power of Love" from American Idol's "Sudden Death" round in Las Vegas!

This is unbelievably exciting.  17-year-old Jenny Beth Willis of Owensboro has made the Top 40 of American Idol!  Last night, the Top 20 guys and the Top 20 girls were revealed and Jenny Beth is still in the mix.  I had a chance to chat with her about her whirlwind Idol experience and what's next for the remaining Idol hopefuls.  Check out my exclusive interview with Jenny Beth arranged courtesy o

Owensboro's Jenny Beth Willis is just one song away from American Idol's Top 40!  Last night, Jenny Beth survived two rounds in Hollywood.  She survived the initial cut with her rendition of "How Do I Live," then escaped the group round with a group of gals named Raisin' Kane!  Watch Jenny Beth and her partners tear through "Sin Wagon" by the Dixie Chicks!

Last week, the boys stepped to the plate during Hollywood Week on American Idol.  When the smoke cleared, just  28 of them remained, including former WBKR Battle for the Big O finalist Paul Jolley.  Now, tonight, all the girls who made it through Idol's initial audition rounds arrive for the dreaded Hollywood week.  Among them, Owensboro's Jenny Beth Willis.  Can she survive the drama and make the

Hundreds survived American Idol's auditions and made it to Hollywood.  Now, only a handful will survive to compete for a chance to perform on the live shows.  American Idol is on tonight and two contestants with WBKR ties are in the hunt!  Can they survive the drama that is Hollywood week?

Owensboro singer Jenny Beth Willis has made it the Hollywood rounds of American Idol and is already learning what kind of fame and notoriety that show can bring.  When the Baton Rouge auditions aired on WEVV Fox 44, Jenny Beth's audition wasn't even broadcast.  However, she has already earned the adoration of a couple of guys from YouTube (i.e. the really creepy guy staring in the bottom right-han
