It was Brett Holt's seventh time auditioning for the show.
The 12th (yes, 12th) season of the singing competition show American Idol began airing Wednesday evening. Perhaps that's not very interesting, in and of itself. More interesting, though: among the show's on-air hopefuls this time around was a Brett Holt, a 28-year-old native of Willow Grove. It was Holt's seventh attempt to qualify for the competition.

MakeUsFame.Us just beginning to make a name in music

Board games like Operation, Connect Four and Candyland adorn the tables, and warm spirits and laughter fill the air. It's Game Night, a stark contrast to the desolate snowy tundra outside. This is the venue for MakeUsFame.Us' upcoming January 288 p.m. show. And as I have my first sip of my Captain and Diet to warm my frigid body, they walk in: Lindsey Kulp and Mark Meehan, two members of the band MakeUsFameUs, a four person electro-pop unit on the verge of dropping their first EP.
