Vocalist Frenchie Davis rose to notoriety (if not quite fame) when she was unceremoniously booted from the #American Idol cast in 2003, having been disqualified after topless photos of her younger self appeared on the Internet. Undaunted, Davis bounced back by refashioning herself as a Broadway star. She joined the cast of +Rent that same year and remained with the show until May 2007, singing the powerful solo during "Seasons of Love" and intermittently playing the role of %Joanne. In 2008, she joined R&B vocalist Ruben Studdard (who won the #American Idol competition from which Davis had been ejected) in a national tour of +Ain't Misbehavin'.
