I've been wanting to sing for a long time. I've been singing all my life, and I've tried different record companies, but it seemed like - it was such a struggle and so hard to get out there. So, I said, 'I'm gonna go on American Idol and see how far it takes me.'

I want people to just to see, all you got to do is have a little faith.

I caught a lot of flak for being a young mama.

My lips are big, but my talent is bigger.

Have a little faith. Don't give up.

I been through some things but I worked hard to get to where I'm at.

I'm very soulful. I grew up singing in church. When I sing a song, I like to feel what I'm singing.
