Brandon Rogers is an American singer who has worked as a professional backup vocalist, and who was the 12th place finalist on the sixth season of American Idol. As a professional backup vocalist, Rogers performed on Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera's 2003 Justified and Stripped Tour and Anastacia's 2005 Encore Tour. Rogers has also worked as a voice coach and wedding singer.
Rogers auditioned for American Idol in Los Angeles, where the judges (including guest judge Olivia Newton-John) were impressed with his vocals. Judge Simon Cowell later mentioned he was the best who auditioned from Los Angeles. He got through the subsequent Hollywood, cut-down, and semi-final rounds to make the Top 12 finals round. However, in his initial performance he forgot the words to several bars of "You Can't Hurry Love", and was the first finalist eliminated from the show on March 14, 2007. Neither Rogers nor 11th place finisher Stephanie Edwards were invited to perform on the American Idol annual summer tour. On May 12, 2008 Rogers guest starred on the crime drama Bones on FOX.[citation needed]. He will appear as a recurring character on a web-oriented series "Valley Peaks". Authentik Artists will release his new single, "Broken".
In June 2008 Brandon starred as one of the headliners for a live music show in Branson, MO, named "America's Favorite Finalists". The show featured 6 top 12 American Idol Finalists performing their own music, cover songs and group numbers. The show ran at the Grand Palace and was produced by Steve Drummond, America's Favorite Finanlists.
