What's been your toughest obstacle in life?
Overcoming my own internal battles with confidence, always working on it.

Do you think the audition process was fair?
Absolutely, everyone had their moment to sing their lil' hearts out to the judges, everyone - all 100,000 of them.

What has been your favorite "Idol" moment in the past six seasons?
I don't have a favorite, I was always intrigued by Blake's arrangements...quite creative.

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
I wish I wouldn't be such a worrier - I wish I could just let go and relax, yep.

How do you plan on differentiating yourself in the competition?
Just be myself. That sounds cliché, but that's my plan.

What has been your proudest moment in life so far?
Making the Top 24 was pretty cool.

If you couldn't sing, which talent would you most like to have?
I would love to be athletic...not an athletic bone in my body. :-( Or, be good at math!

Who is your favorite judge and why?
I love 'em all, they all said, "YES!"

What would people be surprised to learn about you?
No surprises here. :-(

Do you have any lucky charms?
Not really, but my husband decided that he wasn't gonna cut his hair until I get "cut" - he's got a little "fro" going on. :-)

If you don't make it on American Idol, what will you do?
I'll be a "mom", another dream I look forward to fulfilling some day!

What are your personal goals in life?
Wow...there are many, but my main goals are to raise a happy family and share music with the world - kinda big ones!

What album would your friends be surprised you own?
I don't think my friends would be surprised by anything I listen to. I'm into everything... well almost.

Do you have any rituals or things you do before you perform?
Pray! Drink lots of water... do a little dance. :-)

What is your most embarassing moment?
Yikes, I can't decide on just one.

What other talents do you have?
I'm heavily right-brained, anything "artsy fartsy", drawing, decorating, music, doing hair... beautifying.

Do you have any formal singing training?
A little bit; I'm not the most technical singer.

When did you first start to sing?
Around 15 or 16 years old... high school play.
