I like that I stand for something like American Idol which helps musicians and artists get out there. It's important to have shows like Idol because it's so hard to get into the music industry nowadays - nearly impossible.

I know who I am as an artist. I've always known who I am as an artist.

I don't like to have really any expectations for myself.

Melodies are important. I always kind of pride myself on my melodies.

I will always appreciate 'American Idol,' and I never forget about where I come from.

I'm not interested in just putting out one hit.
