About

Real name: Adam Sanders

Adam Sanders, better known as his drag persona, Ada Vox, is an accomplished vocalist, songwriter, and drag queen who found success and pushed boundaries as a contestant on the hit singing competition series American Idol.

12 auditions in 2012, Adam auditioned with "I'd Rather Go Blind" by Etta James. All four judges said "yes,” and Adam moved on to the next round of the competition. Although he was eliminated before the semifinals, this was just the start for Adam. Adam later made his thirteenth attempt auditioning in 2017, this time in drag. As Ada Vox, she sang "House of the Rising Sun,” making it to Hollywood for Season 16 of the show, earning a “yes” from all three judges. Ada was the first drag performer to advance to the show’s finals, making the Top 10 of her season. Ada’s remarkable performances weren’t the only factors of her legacy on Idol—her voice for LGBTQ+ representation in media reverberates to this day. Joining the ranks of queer Idol contestants before her, Ada’s uniquely glittery, dynamic presence sparked conversations about American households’ readiness to see a drag performer on a mainstream television program. After making the Top 10, Ada told NewNowNext, “I know that I am here standing for something that is so much bigger than just myself.” Throughout her season, Ada sang renditions of Queen, Nina Simone, Elton John, and Idina Menzel hits, returning for a finale performance of “Lady Marmalade” with Patti LaBelle.
