The two competitors have a history together, competing at another local singing competition. "We've gone at it before at Westown," said Dodd, "but I like this competition more. I like that it's a cumulative score, and the better atmosphere."
The atmosphere is a welcoming one, as newcomer Janie Dore found out when the judges were all compliments after her performance very first impressive performance. "Travis, you better watch out!" said Idol Judge Joey Atchinson, "You've got some pretty good competition!"
