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.

In regards to my artistry, I've learned the importance of being vulnerable.

I always love to support my friends and how they choose to express themselves creatively.

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

There's so much good you can do with your voice - always remember that.

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

I focused more on sharing my gift and performing than worrying about it being a competition.
