All the fans of ABC's 'American Idol' almost wait for a week to witness the next group of singing stars, and pick the faves they want to support till the very end. But, apart from listening to their melodious voice, the audience is also interested to know about the contestants' backgrounds.

'American Idol' Season 20 is back on air. The new season will feature a new group of singing stars who will be coming from different locations. Among these singing stars, a few faces are known and popular, like Emily Faith, but a few contestants are unknowns.
