Being too thin. Being bigger. I've been criticized for being on both sides of the scale.

When you're seventeen years old, green and inexperienced, you're grateful for any guidance and direction you can get.

I'm very eclectic in what I like and what I listen to. But my favorite musical ever is "The Sound of Music." That was actually one that inspired me to sing.

I want a bad boy in public, and a pussy cat at home!

I still have my eyes on the prize: I want to be that old lady onstage shaking her hips and singing her greatest hits.

For me the visual is just as important as the music.

The blind audition process can be nerve-wracking.
