Since its debut, it's a show that has won countless fans and spawned some spinoffs, yet there's a lot that even hardcore viewers may not realize about this popular reality hit. Here's the untold truth of Little Women: LA.

Jasmine Arteaga Sorge has become a fan favorite on Little Women: LA, but when she was just 18 years old she had different aspirations when she stepped in front of Randy Jackson and Simon Cowell to audition for the third season of American Idol. As a video of her audition demonstrates, she appeared a bit nervous in front of the judges, but her diminutive size belied a powerful set of pipes that she put to good use on Christina Aguilera's "I Turn To You." Her performance is halted after about 30 seconds, however, when Cowell holds his hand up motioning for her to stop singing.

As Monsters & Critics recalled, both Cowell and Jackson (judge Paula Abdul was apparently MIA for the audition) liked what they'd heard, and sent her through to the Hollywood rounds. While she made it to the top 100, she was ultimately sent home in the group round of eliminations. Keep watching to learn The Untold Truth Of Little Women: LA!
