I'm planning to be the youngest contestant in the Top 32, and I'm planning to be the youngest person in the Top 10.

At school my nickname is the National Anthem girl.

I have a brother who has been overseas for two tours. I've been very fortunate that he has come home safely. Whether or not you support the war, always support our soldiers.

"American Idol" has done a lot for me. It's a stepping stone in my life.

Because I came in second place, it makes me want to work harder

If you see me, I'm always wearing black and pink. If I don't have it on, I at least have something that's black and pink. For instance, like, a bracelet or something.

I have the easiest job in the world! It's an excuse to get up there, goof around and have fun.
