Muskego Idol Final Packs 'Em In

The final six contestants in Muskego's Teen Idol competition each performed two songs for a panel of three judges Saturday night, and at the end of the evening, the votes were tallied, and the winner of the competition was Jessie West. She receives a $300 award for her efforts, and received an ovation from the  big crowd that sat in rapt attention for about two hours waiting for the results.

"It's an event that has gotten so popular at the festival, that we may need to consider a bigger tent next year," said Rob Lucas emcee of Muskego's Teen Idol and owner of Music 2 Move You.

Lucas has been the show's emcee since its beginning about six years ago, and said the talent and appeal for Muskego's Teen Idol has grown "by leaps and bounds."

West's song choices were "More Like Her," by Miranda Lambert, and the Beatles' "Come Together."

First runner up was Maks Prykhodko, who sang "I felt Free" by Circa Survive and an original song called "I Love You." 

Gabbie Steidl took the second runner up position, singing "Mean" by Taylor Swift and "Forget About the Boy" from the play "Thoroughly Modern Millie."
