Acting and singing are actually very similar because they're both telling a story.

I still have my school friends who are actually friends. It's nice that they don't think much about my singing career. They think it is cool, and they are happy for me, but they don't really bother me about it. To them, I'm still just the schoolgirl from next door.

It's good to kind of get away from the star treatment.

Anything that I can do with my voice thats good, Ill try to do.

Yes, my parents are strict about me having a childhood. I go ice skating and sledding, and swimming in the summer.

I look up to Andrea Boccelli and Sarah Brightman. The best part about 'America's Got Talent' was performing with her!

I normally wear Stuart Weitzman or Kors Michael Kors.
