I listen to music when I'm feeling down or just a certain way. I don't know what I'd do without it!

I was 16-years-old when I appeared on 'American Idol,' and the show was my boot camp. It was a crazy, stressful at times, experience.

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

Being hurt by someone you really cared about, it makes me want to make them regret ever hurting my heart. Best way of doing that? Success. Get ready for it.

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.

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.
