I looked massive next to Ryan Seacrest! But I was lucky that I've never had anyone say, 'Jordin, you need to lose weight.'

When I was on 'Idol' and 17, everything was so new. Everyone is so nice and wants to see you succeed.

I love berries. Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, black berries, anything with an 'errie' in it!

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.

Any extra free time you have, you are sleeping, or you're trying to sleep

'Sparkle' fell into my lap. I had heard a little bit about it, that it was being redone in early 2011. I was just kind of like, 'Oh, that would be really cool,' and not really thinking too much about it, and then it came through my agency. I read it, I fell in love with the script and I went in to audition.

Being on 'Idol,' you have no choice but to be an open book.
