Michael Sarver

Jeremy Michael Sarver is a 28-year old man from Texas. He got picked to be part of the 36 contestants who were selected to battle for the title of being the American Idol. He eventually got included in the top 12 spots of the reality show’s eighth season. Michael, as what he is more popularly regarded nowadays, first tried his luck in Arizona and there, he sang for his audition the song “Thank You” of the band Boyz II Men. That really must be his lucky day since all the four judges agreed to give him the chance to go to Hollywood. During the actual competition, Michael belonged to the first batch of the 12 out of the 36 contestants. But even though he was included in the first batch, it seemed like he did not feel nervous at all for everyone loved his performance that he became one of the three contestants that garnered the most votes which in turn guaranteed him as one of the 12 contestants who will become a finalist.
As far as his personal life is concerned, he is a married man with two very adorable children. Before he joined American Idol 8, he worked at an oil rig as a roughneck, which is considered as one of the most dangerous jobs in this world. Even though he has this job, Michael Sarver has always dreamed of being a singer and/or songwriter. And it can really be seen that he is truly inclined to music because aside from being a singer and songwriter, he is also fond of playing instruments like drums, guitar and piano.
Most people do not know that during his audition in Arizona, he had Paula grooving to the song he sang. On the other hand, Kara said that he is a “sweet roughneck;” Simon said that he had something in him that makes it easy for people to like him. Meanwhile, during his first performance when he sang the song “I Don’t Want to Be” of Gavin de Graw, he did not exactly rocked the crowd. Even the judges were not that psyched about the way he performed. Randy Jackson said that it is already given that he can definitely sing and that he has a voice, but with regard to the song, he started out kind of rough with his pitch. The second judge, Kara, said that she knows that Michael can do better than his performance. Simon Cowell’s comment is neutral because he said that he is just glad that the show is giving people like Michael a chance to express themselves and that they all have heard and seen worse. On the other hand, among all of them, Paula has the nicest comment and said that she is very certain that he made Gavin very proud of his performance.
For sure, Michael Sarver is one of the contestants that people should watch out for as the show progresses. It is very evident that this guy is just waiting to be seen and has a lot more to offer.
