Former resident "American Idol" finalist - maybe

Recently several web sites and blogs that claim to have insider information report that former Grand Prairie resident Jason Yeager is one of the twenty-four finalists in season seven of the Fox Network reality show, “American Idol.”

Yeager, whose parents David and Lisa Creed, reside in Grand Prairie, is a 1997 graduate of South Grand Prairie High where he won All-State honors in choir.  He currently lives in Branson, Missouri. 

Yeager has been singing locally since his teens in church and at Six Flags Over Texas.  Recently he performed with the Country Tonite and Soji Tabuchi shows in Branson. He was in the top 25 finalists on ABC's first season of "Making the Band."

Fox Network was contacted for verification and information concerning Yeager’s status on “American Idol.”  In an email response from the network’s public relations office, Fox refused to release information about his status.

It looks like we have to wait until the February 13 show when “American Idol” announces its twenty-four finalists to learn where Jason ranks.
