“I grew up always wanting to be a part of 'Idol,' and I never thought I would make it as far as I did. I was really lucky, and it's given me the opportunities that I have now.”
“I always make a wish at 11:11, even if it's something cheesy.”
“On 'Idol,' I understood that everyone wanted to hear my vocals, so I stuck with the ballads.”
“My friends are mostly familiar with music that plays on the mainstream radio.”
“I play volleyball on the beach. It's a great way to work out and have fun.”
“On 'Idol,' you have to show off your vocal abilities, so I stuck to the ballads, so I'm glad my first single is 'Tonight' so I can show off my fun, young side, and what I want to do as an artist.”
“Every single year, I tell myself I am going to drive. It never happens. I don't know how to drive. I am already 20. This needs to happen.”
“I've been watching 'American Idol' since I was five years old.”
“I'm playing a powerhouse singer who is big competition, but she's also really down to earth and sweet. But the whole sweet thing goes away when she's in competition mode. I love the show, so I'm very excited to be a part of it. I'm going to kill it on 'Glee!'”
“I feel like artists and their lyrics are something that people can relate to when it comes to love and break-ups. I really want people to know how I felt when I went through a break up, when I really felt alive, and everything in between.”
“It was crazy... working with Ne-Yo. Everything was such a blur, and I was just a fangirl the whole time.”
“Christmas is my favorite holiday because you spend time with family. I love the decorations, the music, and buying gifts for people. Everything about Christmas is the best.”
“I'm very blessed and appreciative of everything that's happened, and I'm just working hard for more opportunities to come.”
“I love artists that just do what they do with so much passion and emotion.”
“Before I was on 'Idol,' I just sat at home and played video games all day long. Now I get to travel and work towards my dream. It's the best feeling ever.”
“I don't want people to just hand me music and be like, 'Here, you sound good on this. Sing it.' I want to be able to say, 'This is me.'”
“I do sing ballads, but I'm not a balladeer. I'm not the next Celine Dion.”
“I was born in America, but I consider myself a Filipino.”
“I grew up singing ballads, but what I really wanted to get into was the mainstream music on the radio because I really love the beats and everything.”
“I listen to music when I'm feeling down or just a certain way. I don't know what I'd do without it!”
