Season 9 “American Idol” eliminee Siobhan Magnus has never been shy about the fact that she’s a huge fan of Hanson — yes, the “Mmm-Bop” guys. (You know you loved them.) She’s even got a line from one of their songs tattooed on her wrist.
Apparently, the admiration is mutual. Taylor Hanson invited Magnus to perform with him and his brothers Zac and Isaac at a secret midnight show in Los Angeles. Reality Rocks snuck into the rehearsals, where Siobhan fit in perfectly with the band because she’d “been practicing for 14 years.”
“She showed up ready,” Taylor says, adding that fans on the band’s message board alerted them that Siobhan loved their music.
“Someone had written ‘Did you see the girl with the Hanson sweatshirt at Hollywood week?’” Siobhan says, admitting that she checked out the forums as well. “And then someone posted, ‘Well, if she’s a Hanson fan, I bet she’s reading this and laughing at us,’ and I’m sitting there reading it and laughing.”
“Thankfully she made it easy on us and she agreed to cover some of our own songs,” Zac adds. “So we already knew them.”
Hanson’s latest album, “Shout It Out” was released on June 8. Check out Siobhan’s rehearsal of “Weird” with the Hanson brothers below. Dreams do come true, kids.











Well, the song title is a perfect fit for Siobhan’s stockings!
I think the girl has something special to offer to music lovers of the world. But she was up and down somewhat on the show. It may be a matter of her nerves settling down or she just needs a little more experience to level herself out. I’m not sure what it will take before she comes into her own. But I believe that she will blossom into a beautiful flower that many including myself will enjoy and appreciate.
@ Alan Attebery:
Yeah, buddy. I wanna know when we get some Crystal tracks to listen to. Well, that ain’t soon enough!
@ Alan Attebery:
I really meant that Hansen was in the news. Your favorite group and all…
@ ABB:
If it had been Crystal Bowersox up there, I would have been over the moon with giddiness. But Siobahn Magnus? No thanks.
Good for Siobhan! Hope she is able to make the most of her 15 minutes and parley it into a career. Making contacts like this is perfect.
Alan, you must be over the moon with giddiness.
