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

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

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

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

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've been doing this sort of thing my entire life. It's my love, it's my passion, it's what I do day in and day out. I eat, sleep, and breathe music and singing.

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.
