2006 is all about getting your house in order and I mean that metaphorically.

Comparing in the past years, Tamyra Gray and everyone else that didn't win but their careers are doing well.

First off, it's wonderful how much people are supporting me and felt I should have stayed in the competition.

I think American Idol is a great career launcher. A blessing for all of us.

I want to get into movies, not just TV series.

I would love to do a Broadway play. I would love to do big screen also, motion picture.

Off camera, I am not so quiet, I have a fun time, relaxed.

People love to see reactions, they love to see emotions that come about.

People want to get to know you. I don't think America got a chance to know me in that short time.

Under so much pressure and the situation that I was in, that was the personality that came across with me.

Actually, 19 is in charge of our career at that point. FOX publicity is in charge of the publicity that we get. I'm fine with it, it is really organized.

I know I'm happy and can't wait to see where my career will go next. This isn't the end for any of us. I can understand why they are upset but I want them to move forward and look for the future.

I think she has more gospel style than I do. I think I'm more, umm, you know mainstream I guess. I don't know if we split the vote. That could be possible but I don't think we are the same at all.

I think what was frustrating to see a lot of good people go. You don't picture it, you don't imagine it, don't think it could happen. When it does, you are puzzled.

I want to tap into different styles. Something definitely mature, sultry, sensual, easy listening that everyone can enjoy. Every one of every race and everyone that likes different styles.

I wanted to bring back that big, ballad type of music that we used to love so much. Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, when they first came out, that's what I grew up singing.

It's funny, we all really, really got along. I don't know how it was in years past but this year, I was really with a good group of people. No one tried to sabotage each other or steal the other ones moments.

Jasmine apologized and said she was sorry and said she loved me, she couldn't believe it and said she thought it would be her. All of them were really, really sorry that it happened to me.

Last I checked, the album was #82 out of the top 200 on the Billboard charts thanks to you all. I pray that keeps moving up and with your help it will.

Let me just worry about me. I'm not worried about anyone else. If you're doing fine, great; if you're struggling, I hope things get better for you. But I've got to be worried about my career.
