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

I want to let my fans know that I will not hold myself back anymore. Everybody knows me as "15-Year-Old Little Jessica who was on 'American Idol' and who is this sweet, quiet girl." I am very soft-spoken, but I have gone through numerous experiences, and I want to speak out and tell people what has been going on in my life.

My experience working with a major label was not all bad, I was blessed to go through that experience, and I know what to do during the next time around.

When I found out that I made it to the Season 11 finale, I was so shocked that if you went on YouTube and re-watch the Top 3 Results Show, you will see my face looked like a bus hit it.

When you are in the American Idol bubble, a lot of contestants want to go as far as they can and wish to be on point with ready-to-go songs.

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

I used to have hair so long, my nickname was Pocahontas.
