中文名：蒂迪·波納米

生日： October 25, 1986

年齡：26

家鄉(xiāng)： Knoxville, TN

居住城市：Los Angeles, CA

Didi Benami沉浸在爵士樂(lè)、布魯斯、南方搖滾、民謠、鄉(xiāng)村、藍(lán)調(diào)和流行音樂(lè)之中。在貝爾蒙特大學(xué)，她遇到人生中最好的知己 Rebecca Joy Lear。她倆的相遇真是上帝的安排。盡管 Didi 很想追求音樂(lè)，但她在貝爾蒙特大學(xué)時(shí)并沒(méi)有這么做。Rebecca 是一位來(lái)自來(lái)自堪薩斯州威奇托的歌手，她開(kāi)始幫助 Didi 掌握并提高歌唱的能力，同時(shí)把歌唱表達(dá)和音樂(lè)寫(xiě)作結(jié)合起來(lái)。Rebecca 重新點(diǎn)燃了 Didi 追求音樂(lè)事業(yè)的愿望，希望與她對(duì)自己最熱愛(ài)的事情堅(jiān)持到底。沒(méi)過(guò)多久她們意識(shí)到彼此是知心姐妹。于是她們一致決定堅(jiān)持下去，繼續(xù)從事音樂(lè)。

可悲的是，2005年12月圣誕前不久，Rebecca 因車禍喪生。這讓 Didi 意識(shí)到生命太過(guò)短暫，不能浪費(fèi)自己喜歡做音樂(lè)的機(jī)會(huì)。意外失去 Rebecca 的 Didi 決定搬到 LA ，繼續(xù)追求自己的音樂(lè)夢(mèng)想。

"音樂(lè)是如此美麗，歌詞是如此讓人心醉。Rebecca 是一位了不起、令人難以置信的作曲家。如此年輕的她就這樣帶著自己的音樂(lè)離開(kāi)了這世界。如果這是我做的最后一件事，那么我希望幫她完成她的音樂(lè)夢(mèng)想。"

Didi Benami 進(jìn)入 24 強(qiáng)。

2010年2月23日 周二 24 進(jìn) 20

表演曲目： " The Way I Am " (Ingrid Michaelson)

Simon： I think you are a good singer. My problem tonight is too many people try to sound likeAdeleorDuffy. The song was dreary. What I am missing is a spark -- something that excites me. In the real world, that was quite dull. Take that to one side. I do like you and think you have a good voice.

Kara: I agree and disagree with him. I think the song is a good song because it is a singer/songwriter thing. You at least made some changes to the original recording that shows you are creative. You are showing another level than just trying to sound like someone else.

Randy: Where is the star factor? I see no outward oomph. The song is cool. I love the song. You sounded great, but it was so sleepy.

Ellen: I think if you were doing a show and it was one song in a set, but for the first night to reach out to a million people, for that first impression it was low key.

表演曲目： " Lean On Me " (Bill Withers)

Randy: I would not have chosen a deep-rooted soul song for you. It showed your imperfections more than it heightened what you do.

Ellen: First of all, I love your voice. You have a great voice. I wish it woud’ve be Withers’ "Lovely Day" .I don’t know that was a great song choice.Hopefully, people will see through the song and vote for you.

Kara: It really wasn’t good. You said you are a singer/songwriter and wanted to do something different. It felt like a karaoke bar. We lost the uniqueness of your voice and vocal stylings that got you to this point. I am still a fan of yours even though this wasn’t good.

Simon: It was all over the place. It was screechy. It is frustrating because you get this fantastic opportunity to sing in front of millions and then you do something generic -- a wasted opportunity.
