I believe a great performer is someone who sounds just as great live as they do in the studio and vice versa. They should know how to work the stage.

Performing on stage is what I've done since I was a kid and it's where the passion that has started from the very beginning for me, and that's what I'm going to enjoy.

First thing I did when I found out I made it into the top 13 is I tried not to faint and you know, I took it all in and I really looked at the crowd and said a big 'thank you'.

I'd rather have people really be able to step back and get their money's worth and look at me as a true artist than somebody who is just regurgitating other material.

My parents have basically just taught me the rules of the stage and everything since I was eight.

Music is not just a part of my everday life, I'm surrounded by it every minute.
