For The First Few Years

I've Been Asked To Do 'american Idol' And 'x Factor.' I'm An Ed Mcmahon Kind Of Girl. 'star Search?' I'm In, All Day Long. It Felt More Authentic, And The Market Wasn't Oversaturated With Karaoke Contests.

In The Late '90s, R&b Was Dominant In The Radio, And The White Kids Were Taking It Mainstream.

I Know I Should Stop Smoking, But It Scares Me. I Mean, What Would I Turn To Next?

I'm Very Much In The Trenches, And I Don't Live In The Lap Of Luxury. I Come From A Working-class Military Family. We Watch The News And Read The Paper And Vote, So There's Always Something To Be Upset About. I Always Have A Certain Amount Of Angst In My Back Pocket.

But Just Because It Burns Doesn't Mean You're Gonna Die. You've Gotta Get Up And Try, Try, Try.
