Dubbed the ‘rock ‘n roll nurse’ in her early Idol days, Overmyer frequently takes to the stage performing songs from her own idol, Janis Joplin.

Surviving a car crash shortly before Hollywood Week that left her with a handful of broken ribs, the Atlanta auditioner once served as the lead singer for the rock band Steeleto. Pegged as an early favorite, Overmyer has been praised by the judges for her authentic take on her Idol tunes, but Simon Cowell warned early on that she has the potential to become monotonous.
