Finished: 10th place

With a last name like Tucker, no one realized that this talented young singer from Season 5 is half Belizian. “I’m half Latina and half African American. My mother was born and raised in Belize,” Tucker tells Latina.com. “She came to the States when she was 20 years old…my mother’s side of the family still lives over there. It’s so beautiful,” said Tucker, who adds that people are often surprised to find out she’s Latina. “People look at me and can never quite figure out where I’m from.”
