Nobody talks much about Nadia Turner’s time on “Idol,” mostly because she arrived about three years too early. But her mix of R&B vocals and genre-blending instincts (she was always a rocker at heart) would have been a perfect fit in the post-Adam Lambert era.

Anyone familiar with the US TV series American Idol will know Nadia Turner, the former beauty queen from St Eustatius whose blistering renditions, big hair, and midriff-baring tank-tops wooed viewers and took her into the final round of eight. A favourite across North America and the Caribbean, she’s generated weblogs in her honour, rallied newspapers to her side, and even impressed the cantankerous judge Simon Cowell, who told her, “in a competition full of hamburgers, you are a steak.”
