IN EXCERPT

Siobhan Magnus has said she doesn’t want to trade her own artistic style to achieve stardom.

But listening to her perform Thursday night at the Cape Cod Melody Tent makes you understand why people become huge stars. You suddenly get why radio stations play the same songs over and over again.

Magnus, 22, a Barnstable native and ninth-season contestant on TV’s “American Idol,” possesses that kind of talent.

Her voice defies human frailty. It’s so big, so beautiful. It hits you in your solar plexus. It can take your breath away.
