Trenyce

Trenyce, Season 2

Season 2 of "“Idol"” gave us a crowded field of talent —-- Clay Aiken, Ruben Studdard, even Josh Gracin. But perhaps the most talented female performer was the big-voiced Trenyce (center). America didn’'t recoil with horror when she was booted off the show five “Idols” from the end, but they weren'’t happy about it either.
