I am extremely grateful for my 'American Idol' experience, and I enjoyed every bit of it.

My songs always tend to have a good element to the story. That is who I am - an optimistic person.

Ordering pizza and jamming out with the contestants in our hotels and traveling the country together brought me so much joy.

As long as children are still getting kicked out of their homes by parents, getting bullied, commuting suicide, et cetera. it's definitely still worth talking about.

I was so fortunate to sing and work with so many amazing performers and artists.
