About
This young singer from North Carolina went from unknown teenager to worldwide superstar after winning the third season of Fox TV's American Idol. Sixty-five million people voted for her, leading to her record deal with Clive Davis' J Records. With a diverse vocal style that draws from legendary (Aretha Frankin) and contemporary (Pink) artists alike, Barrino released her first single, "I Believe," in the summer of 2004. Her debut album, Free Yourself, dropped that same year, followed by her self-titled sophomore effort in 2006.
