I love being able to sing for my job. I am blessed beyond words and I hope my fans can feel that while I'm on stage!

Not yet, but I do wanna work with Leona Lewis. I love her, she's so sweet! I think she's working on her album as well so I'd love to do a nice powerful female duet with her. I think our voices would blend really well. There's a couple of other people I'd love to work with - like Fergie, Justin Timberlake and Alicia Keys.

With my schedule being so crazy, I can't call every day or hang out with my friends like I used to and that's definitely sad.

With the '60s era and Motown, my grandparents actually introduced us to that when I was younger, so I grew up listening to the Jackson Five, Aretha Franklin, The Temptations, The Supremes and Diana Ross' solo stuff. I just loved it.

I played softball and basketball growing up. I really wanted to play football but both parents said no. I was mad for a second, then got over it. Now, just because I'm tall doesn't mean I can play basketball. I was waaaaay better at swinging a bat.

I like the way my heart beats, I like the way I think; I don't need or want anything to change that.

Hollywood large is so different than real-life large.
