Lima Ohio teen ‘American Idol’ hopeful

If the source of the Dayton connection to ‘American Idol’ is correct (idolforum.com), Ohio might have another contestant vying for the hit reality TV show’s top spot.

Garrett Haley, a 17 year-old appears to call Lima, Ohio his hometown. Or, at least that is what’s listed on his myspace page, could be in the top 24 this season (before anyone writes me about posting this link - this guy has his profile set to private like all minors should).

This photo appeared in the photos from the San Diego auditions. Unlike Mia Coleman, the Huber Heights resident who remains an unconfirmed contestant, little is known about Haley. I’ll guess we’ll just have to wait until the Hollywood show airs in the coming two weeks.

Tonight’s ‘American Idol’ airs at 8 p.m. on Fox and will feature the Miami, Florida auditions.

While some might disagree (and have done so on this blog), It’s fun to have a local connection to these wildly popular shows!

Update - Hometown could be Elida rather than Lima. A Web site elidadawg blogpost.com claims Haley is a student at Elida High School.
