Vonzell Solomon

Vonzell Solomon (born 18 March 1984), also known as Baby V, is an American singer, one of the finalists from the fourth season of the reality talent search television show American Idol.

Born in Baxley, Georgia, Solomon's family relocated to Fort Myers, Florida when she was several months old. Solomon attended high school at the Cypress Lake Center for the Arts. She holds a black belt in sembact martial arts; her father is a martial arts instructor. Her parents are Alice and Larry Goethie; Vonzell uses her mother's maiden name professionally. She has one older sister, Zanobra, and two brothers.

In April 2004, Solomon released a demo CD, My Struggle; she has also sung with local bands in southwest Florida. Solomon auditioned for the fourth season of American Idol in Orlando, Florida and was one of 12 finalists who went on to compete during the main competition in 2005. Prior to auditioning for American Idol, Solomon also worked for the United States Postal Service as a mail carrier.

Solomon auditioned for P-Diddy's Making The Band in the second season of the show but was not selected for the group. Diddy himself says that he doesn't remember Solomon and later stated on Live with Regis and Kelly that Solomon was not well suited for a hip-hop group.

On May 18, 2005 Solomon was voted off during choice selections week after her three performances: "I'll Never Love This Way Again" by Dionne Warwick, "Chain of Fools" by Aretha Franklin, and "On the Radio" by Donna Summer. Her elimination left contestants Carrie Underwood and Bo Bice in the Idol finale.
