ORLANDO, Fla. (KTIV) -

Siouxland's singing McDonald's worker didn't make it to the final four, but his vocals did get him into the sweet 16.

Kendall Titiml, a student at Wayne State College and McDonald's employee in Wayne, was competing to become the next voice of McDonalds.

He did win a VIP tour of American Idol, a trip to Nashville and a private audition for executives at Disney studios.

The contest is a way the fast food chain recognizes and rewards the talents of its employees.
