Scott Savol never went looking for fame. He simply wanted to do what he loved most — sing and perform. As a shy three year old, compelled to share his voice with others, he sang while sitting under the kitchen table where no one could watch him. Two decades later, the television phenomenon called American Idol has cured Savol of any remaining fears of public performance, gave him a worldwide platform to perform, and brought him instant notoriety. Ohio native Scott Savol became a household name in 2005 when he finished in the top five of American Idol Season 4. This season was touted as having the highest ratings and the best singers of any past Idol season, and Savol was adored by the Idol audience and judges alike. One of the most talked about and memorable of the Season 4 finalists, Scott Savol is the uncommon star that has endeared himself to Idol fans by being downto- earth, soft spoken, humble and deeply spiritual. Fans seem to gravitate toward this "everyday guy," and his lack of "showbiz polish" seems to be part of his appeal.
