As a singer and songwriter, I have great admiration for many of the budding stars who come to try their hand at performing and can relate to the hopes and aspirations of all the contestants, no matter how good or bad.

Eddie and I are overwhelmed by the amount of lovely well wishes. We are blessed and.... I'm Mrs. Cibrian!

I believe for everyone who goes astray, someone will come to show the way.

I don't earn my money from trying to hurt people or get in the tabloids.

Keep your sense of self; don't get caught up in what people want you to be.

Being where I'm at, standing in these shoes, it feels amazing. It feels like a weight has been lifted.

Like mercy from heaven's gate, there's a freedom in your arms that carries me through. I need you.
