DIANA DEGARMO

Season 3 Runner-Up
Second to Fantasia Barrino in 2004, Diana DeGarmo released her debut album (Blue Skies) at only 17, but she's found her footing in musical theater. "It's led me ... where I want to be, a singer for the people," she told the Dallas Morning News in July. DeGarmo, 19, nabbed raves last year as nerdy Penny Pingleton in Broadway's Hairspray, and is back with the show after doing a summer tour with Brooklyn the Musical.
