A lot of people who wanted to audition for Idol have asked me: “What should I do?” or “How to I prepare myself?” I always told them: “Just go in and believe in yourself.”

I really want to show my supporters - -the direction I wish to go into, and my fans know that is what I want to do! They even have recommended songs for me to sing, I love my fans...they are awesome!

“I Don’t Want to Miss A Thing” is a hard song to perform, I was worried that I was not going to reach that significant note that is at the end of the song. Thank god, Steven loved it! He was the nicest and friendliest judge that I have met. He also invited me to chat with him whether I had free time on the Idol set.

The thing that I did not like about being signed to a label was I unable to have control over what I wanted to do.

Do not let anything get in your way of chasing your dreams.

The best part of being signed by a major label was having the support of a big company behind me and the ability to meet new artists and producers.

I love artists that just do what they do with so much passion and emotion.
