An American Idol is someone that has all the qualities that America thinks is positive, attractive and alluring.

Everything is falling into place.

I can dance, act, beatbox and whistle very well.

I don't think it's by any means an end to my career.

I had to focus on some personal areas in my life with the little bit of privacy that I have.

I love the sounds of Latin jazz, R&B, hip-hop, alternative, all that stuff. I'm a radio kid.

I will always be singing.

I'd like to know how to play the guitar.

I'm excited and blessed.

It is a reality show... this show is never without drama.

It was an amazing experience to work with Michael Jackson, who is a legend.

It's surreal to know my dreams are coming true.

My gut and intuition told me it wasn't time to do this.

You can't go wrong with love.

In all honesty, I'm not able to talk about contracts. It's nothing with 'American Idol' in particular, it's just things I really need to take care of in my life.
