On that very first day, when I queued up, in the thousands, I never expected to get very far

There's lots of R&B blogs that I like going on and it basically just names new music that isn't out and won't be out for a long time and stuff. It just gives you an insight on what's coming up next and finding out about new artists.

If people want me to be their role-model, it would be nice.

I'll always stand by my Gypsy roots, and I'll always help out one of my own.

Sometimes I just like to listen to unknown people, that can be really, really cool. I like going on blogs and stuff.

When you see the mega-stars doing really, really well, it gives you hope that you could probably do that too.

When you sing live, you cannot expect any artist, except for the amazing Beyonce or GaGa, to get it right every time.
