I was very vocal about how I wanted to be portrayed on the show, and how I wanted the stage setup to be.

I think that every decision I make in my life is based off of an emotion - and it definitely hurts me in some situations, and helps in some situations, like obviously writing and stuff is my favourite thing to do because I get to use all of my emotions and express them in that way.

If you say something that is a little unsafe to say but you feel strongly and passionate about it, a lot of people can attack you and call you a bad role model just because they don't agree with your views, but in reality we're all different and we're all unique in our own way and we all have different thoughts.

I'm very, very in touch with my emotions.

I think the transition between singing covers on a reality show to being able to do my own thing was really exciting. I'm no longer singing covers every second, and people are actually getting to hear my own original music.

I obviously have a different connection to each song in a different way, and they all mean something different to me.

I definitely have worked trying to create music that inspires girls to feel confident and strong, and feel like they can do anything.
