Why Do You Want To Be An AMERICAN IDOL

Being on a stage in front of millions is the biggest rush for me. It's like I'm kind of nervous at first, but once I get out there I never want to leave the stage. I also think that the industry could use a little class.

If you couldn't sing, what talent would you want?

I've always wanted to pick up the guitar. I just think it's the coolest instrument.

Favorite Judge? Why?

I like them all, but if I had to pick a favorite, it would probably be Paula simply because I am more familiar with her.

Least Favorite Judge? Why?

To be perfectly honest, I like them all.

Anything You Would Not Change To Become The American Idol?

I'm happy with myself. Of course, there are little things here and there that I wish were smaller and bigger, but I don't know one person who is perfectly satisfied with their physical appearance.
