NADIA TURNER: SHOE ARE YOU? ©
Nadia Turner, former Dolphins cheerleader, singer, songwriter, actress and radio/TV personality is perhaps better known as the talented and diverse artist with the big hair, and the great set of pipes who wowed millions of viewers around the world with her beautiful, sultry voice, and unique sense of style on American Idol's 4th Season.
Named after Nadia Comaneci, and born and raised in Miami with American, Caribbean and European roots, Nadia's amazing blend of funk, rock and soul and fantastic personality has earned her legions of fans as well as guest host duties on The View, appearances on every talk show from Ellen to Jay Leno and a 43 city tour.
I met Nadia on FOX just days after her American Idol performance and she rocked her Stilettos something fierce. She took a few minutes out of her preparations for her upcoming album release this Spring to answer Miss Meg all the questions you love to read.
