The 19-year-old April Darby was selected from 15,000 candidates for the audition rounds of the American tv show American Idol and has just come through the fourth round with 130 others.

April, who lives in The Hague, was born in America but grew up in the Netherlands, says the Telegraaf.
The show will be broadcast from January 18 2011 on Fox TV and until then she is not allowed to say how much further she got, her mother and manager Lucienne Schouten told the Telegraaf.
