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

Sometimes you have to lose to win again.

Have a little faith. Don't give up.

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 like to play dress up, I'm in love with fashion.

I want to do all types of music, music for all people. I want my music to be encouraging, to help people.

I knew exactly what I was doing. You can't accidentally take a whole bottle of pills.
