Harvard Alum Molly Swenson Sings on American Idol

Posted by on January 27, 2011 at 1:54 pm

The judges of American Idol have seen a lot of talent since the show started. They listen to applicants from all corners of the nation and all walks of life. But were they prepared for a talented blonde bombshell from Harvard to show up and blow them away? Probably not.

Check her out!

Meet Molly Swenson. A class of 2010 graduate of Harvard and former Winthropian, Molly sang with The Opportunes during her time at Harvard; check out her a capella on Youtube!

Molly’s currently an intern at the White House for the Obama administration, but it looks like she’ll have to ask for some vacation, because she’s off to Hollywood.

She sang, she rocked it, the judges loved it and she received the golden ticket to Hollywood. Way to go Molly! Now we all have an excuse to watch American Idol this season. It’s not just reality TV anymore. We’ve got to support one of our own.
