Poll of the week: Chikezie is easily favorite 10th-place finalist

Flashback: Julia DeMato's "Breathe"
Julia DeMato had a storied journey on Season 2 of Idol before she was eliminated prematurely in 10th place, but it was good that she went out on a positive note with her rendition of Faith Hill's "Breathe." Watch the performance below:
Julia earned praise for her performance, especially considering how far she came from some of her earlier efforts on the show. And even her one time rival Kimberly Caldwell shed some tears after her friend was eliminated. Even though it wouldn't stand up to many performances that would come in subsequent seasons, Julia did well for herself here.

Keeping up with RJ Helton
Although it's hard to believe now, RJ Helton was just four places away from being named the first ever winner of American Idol back in 2002, as he placed fifth.
He started out recording inspirational music, as he released a Contemporary Christian album called Real Life in 2004, which sold roughly 20k copies and featured songs like "Even If," "Secrets" and "Come On Over," the latter two of which are currently on his official music MySpace page.
Back in October 2006, RJ came out to a SIRIUS radio station's morning show, saying he was no longer performing inspirational music because
"I can have a faith but can't be who I want to be. So a lot of it was just personal things I needed to overcome and just be proud of who I was. … Just because I am gay does not mean I can't love God."
RJ has most recently been participating in small Idol shows, as he performed at the Razz Room in San Francisco, Calif., back in August 2008 with fellow alums Trenyce and Julia DeMato, among others.

Please note: IDOL LIVE's "keeping up with" weekly series will be put on hiatus beginning next week until further notice. Another series, called "flashback," will be installed in its place.
