September is a popular month for American Idol alumni birthdays. Check out the American Idol calendar to view all of the birthdays and events that occur this month.

September 13 is Ejay Day's birthday. Ejay was on the very first season of American Idol, making it to tenth place. He was able to join the semifinals after one contestant was disqualified for lying about his age. The Georgia native has performed for Muhammad Ali on a number of occassions, sang at the 2003 Tournament of Roses parade, and belted the National Anthem for many professional sports teams in Georgia.

September 14 is Melissa McGhee's birthday. The Season 5 contestant made it to 12th place on the show and never fell into the bottom three until her elimination during Stevie Wonder week. Despite forgetting a few lyrics to her Stevie Wonder song, the judges thought it was her best performance yet.

September 15 is Charles Grigsby's birthday. This Season 2 contestant sang his way to 11th place on the show, but he got to join the Season 2 Top 10 on tour when he replaced Corey Clark.

September 16 is Matthew Rogers' birthday. This football player advanced to the Top 11 of Season 3 before his elimination during country week. Matt was back on Idol during Season 7 when he hosted David Archuleta's hometown finale event in Utah. Since his time on American Idol, Matt has hosted and appeared on several sports television shows and just this summer he hosted "There Goes The Neighborhood."

Happy Birthday Ejay, Melissa, Charles, and Matt!
