Nicole Tieri
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nicole Lavana Tieri (born 1980) is an American singer and actress who was a contestant on American Idol in 2004. Tieri is a native of Grand Rapids, Michigan but moved to New York City in the late 90's. She is nicknamed "Scooter Girl" because she showed up to auditions on a scooter. While she made it to Hollywood, she was cut from the competition and didn't make it to the "Top 32". Tieri is also a vegetarian[1] .
Before her American Idol appearance, she had voiced the role of Akane Aikawa in the English dub of the anime series Magic User's Club (for NYAV Post, 2001-2002). Tieri voiced her in the OVA series and the first half of the TV series, though she was replaced in the second half by Stacey Williams.
Tieri was also offered an endorsement deal from Razor Scooters and the part of Maureen in the Broadway musical RENT, but could not do either because of her American Idol contract. This was revealed on VH1's Reality TV Secrets Revealed 2.
Nicole is now performing at Sight and Sound in Lancaster PA. She auditioned on October 3rd 2005 after appearing at the Annapolis Octoberfest on the 2nd of October 2005 where she distributed CDS and signed autographs.
Her album, Tales From Magnolia Drive, is scheduled for a September release.
