A New England Patriots Cheerleader from West Bridgewater is hoping that the 13th season of “American Idol” will bring her luck.
Stephanie Petronelli, 22, of West Bridgewater is going to be trying to earn a spot on the show with her singing.
Petronelli was in the Middle East along with some other New England Patriots squad members in 2011 singing for the U.S. soldiers. Petronelli was voted as the prom queen of the West Bridgewater High School in 2008. She has also attended Bridgewater State University, according to a media spokesperson for the school.
The two-night premiere of “Idol” begins in Boston as the judges search for the best talent in the country. Hosted by Ryan Seacrest, the new judging panel includes Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban and Harry Connick, Jr. along with in-house mentor Randy Jackson.
You can watch the season premieres of “American Idol” on Wednesday and Thursday night at 8 p.m. on FOX.
