Mesa, AZ Native Named to Final 12

By Judy Hedding, About.com

Five people with Arizona ties made it to the Hollywood Auditions for American Idol's 7th season. Vakira Cramer of Gilbert, Ashley Robinette of Scottsdale and Perrie Cataldo of Phoenix didn't get the green light to move forward, but Brooke White, originally from Mesa, Arizona, made it to the coveted top 12 list (female) for American Idol 7. David Hernandez from Glendale will be one of the 12 male finalists.

The 2008 competition will again feature the best 12 men and 12 women from thousands that auditioned in various cities across the country.
