(Beat starts slow)
Last dance, last chance for love
This is my last chance for romance tonight
OOh I need you, by me besideme to guide
To hold me to scold me but when I'm bad I'm so so so bad
(Beat gets faster)
So come on baby dance that dance tonight
Last dance, last chance for love (oh yeah)
This is my last chance for romance tonight
Ooh I need you by me, beside me to guide me
To hold me To scold me but when I'm bad, I'm so so so bad
So come on baby dance that dance




Come on baby dance that dance
Come on baby dance that tonight

I loved her when I was a kid watching this and I still love it now

@Raiders-wm5kb

How far did she make it? I know her from Surreal life never watched American Idol.

@sarahubbert3978

she was gorgeous in a unique kind of way. wonder where she is now...

@alexandraletzt5469

I read on her wikipedia page that she lived in Bali and France and just recently moved back to LA .

I had such a crush on this woman back in the day and was following her for a while. In the days of Britney Spears and Jessica/Ashlee Simpson I think she could have had a career. But she refused to sign with a label, instead choosing to go independent. She kept saying an album was being made right after American Idol, and for the next several years. She acted in a movie, then she went on a bunch of reality shows like The Surreal Life, Gimme My Reality Show, and did some modelling. Haven't heard from her in many years.

Jolly I just followed her on Instagram. Still super pretty. She seems very happy. In fact she just posted on her story a day ago a bunch of season 1 singers did a zoom call reunion.

This Was One Of Her Best Performances..... Its A Shame She Went Home This Week.... She Was One Of My Favs

@lonellfletcher

She said in interviews after that she wasn’t able to show who she was because the song selections were so limited.

@maxinemorris6927

I remember watching this and wanting to be her! I would get in my room and reenact her performances from the night before ... And then on result night I would get dolled up and watch it with my friends it was during the summer so I didn't have school it was a lot of fun.

@JiaPia3

Ryan has an incredible voice! Wow. Standards have really been lowered for these new incarnations of American Idol.
