Two American Idol contestants that are rumored to make the final 24 of this year’s competition have one thing in common: a background in modeling.

Amy Davis, for example, has appeared in ads for Wild Turkey Liquor, Vonage and an assortment of other companies. As her modeling biography also states, Davis has served as the lead singer for a band called 6th Element, as well as a Pink Floyd tribute band called Echoes of Pompei.

Then there’s JoAnne Borgella.

This plus-sized model actually won the 2005 reality show Mo’Nique’s Fat Chance. She may attract a different sort of audience than Davis, but both contestants will be relying on more than just looks when fans pick up their phones.

They better be able to carry a tune.
