A film crew from the popular television show "American Idol" visited Mississippi State on Saturday, filming footage about the background of contestant Jasmine Murray, a Columbus native whose singing abilities earned her a spot in the top 13 list of performers competing for a recording contract and title of "American Idol." Murray visited MSU many times as she attended rehearsals for the Miss Mississippi State University pageant, which included her older sisters as contestants in previous years.
