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!

Music has always been a huge part of my life.

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.

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 always had an idea for what I wanted to do in the future and throughout my career. This wasn't, like, me figuring out what to do after Idol. I've always known the steps in what I had to do to get where I was.

Even though it was a stressful time in my life, I have a lot of good memories from my Idol experience.
