Singer Vangelis Dimopoulos is one of 41 contestants to advance
Vangelis Dimopoulos of Scotch Plains received the golden ticket at the New York City American Idol auditions and will be heading to Hollywood for the next round of auditions.

As Clark audiences huddled around the TV this week, Kinnelon native and "American Idol" contestant Elise Testone is safe for another week on the popular FOX singing competition.
