Yamin finished third of the fifth season and since then, he’s released three albums. He’s a spokesperson for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). In his fall 2007 concert tour, Yamin announced that 100% of the proceeds from the sale of designated T-shirts and pins would go to the Life for a Child Program, which provides insulin, as well as diabetes-related care and supplies, for children in developing countries.

Our fourth place finisher of season seven is a little cutie. His rendition of ‘Hallelujah’ still gives me goosebumps to this day, it was one of his best performances hands down. He did release a few albums and he also starred on some TV shows. However in 2014, he experienced a symbolic spiritual reawakening and cut his dreadlocks, since then he’s worn his hair much shorter. He married his high school best friend Mandy Mayhall, the pair have two kids together.
