Most Embarrassing Moment

We were putting on a little swing concert for our parents. So me and my partner decided to go for the gold and do the flip. Well, my hands were totally in the wrong places and she ended up on her butt on the floor in front of EVERYONE.

Why Do You Want To Be An AMERICAN IDOL

Because I want the other aspiring singers/actors/dancers to know that it's very possible for someone who's had a dream all of their lives to make it in the business.

If you couldn't sing, what talent would you want?

Okay, so don't laugh, but I would really like to juggle.

Favorite Judge? Why?

I'd have to say it would be Paula Abdul. She's been nothing but supportive of EVERYONE in this competition and maintains a certain professionalism about her.

Least Favorite Judge? Why?

You have to keep thinking that they're honest and they do know what they're talking about.

Anything You Would Not Change To Become The American Idol

Ask me to stop hanging out with my friends or being close with my family? You've got another thing coming.

What are you going to call your first CD?
