Ypsi: American Idol

By

The Detroit News runs a profile on Matt Giraud, an American Idol contestant who grew up in Ypsilanti. The article quotes Karen Nevins, his music teacher at Lincoln High School: ”I haven’t had another student who was like him. He came into my classroom every day for lunch, and he was frustrated having to leave to go to class. The music was, ultimately, the most important thing to him.” [Source]
