Keeping up with Nadia Turner

Nadia Turner may have seen her Idol dreams evaporate three years ago, but she is slowly but surely making progress on the music scene. The fourth season's eighth-place finalist is now serving a greater cause - giving back to the troops. Nadia entertained U.S. servicemen and servicewomen this summer in Afghanistan alongside fellow Idol finalists Gina Glocksen, Justin Guarini and Brandon Rogers.

Last year, Nadia starred in a direct-to-DVD film called Lord Help Us, which premiered at the Pan African Film & Arts Festival.

Aside from contributing to charitable causes, Nadia has been at work in the recording studio, as her single "Standing On Love" appeared on the limited edition "Edy's SlowChurned Hot Tracks" album that featured a host of former Idol finalists. She also released "Love" as part of a double single along with "Beautiful Man."

Both tracks are slated to appear on Nadia's upcoming debut album, which has no release date scheduled at the present time.
