careers ideas idols
I always had an idea for what I wanted to do in the future and throughout my career. This wasn't, like, me figuring out what to do after Idol. I've always known the steps in what I had to do to get where I was.
crazy years idols
I was 16-years-old when I appeared on 'American Idol,' and the show was my boot camp. It was a crazy, stressful at times, experience.
crazy struggle writing
I think that I have grown a lot as an artist. I have been writing about my experiences of love and overcoming the struggles that I have faced in the music industry. I have so much more to tell my fans, and I know so much more about myself. It is crazy how much I have grown over these past years.
memories idols stressful
Even though it was a stressful time in my life, I have a lot of good memories from my 'Idol' experience.
song idols wish
When you are in the 'American Idol' bubble, a lot of contestants want to go as far as they can and wish to be on point with ready-to-go songs.
song idols laughing
"I Don't Want to Miss A Thing" is a hard song to perform (Laughs), I was worried that I was not going to reach that significant note that is at the end of the song. Thank god, Steven [Tyler] really loved it! He was the nicest and friendliest judge that I have met. He also invited me to chat with him whether I had free time on the Idol set.
faces watches made
When I found out that I made it to the Season 11 finale, I was so shocked that if you went on YouTube and re-watch the Top 3 Results Show, you will see my face looked like a bus hit it.
inspiration listening singing
When I found out that I was going to be singing with Jennifer Holliday, I literally freaked out! I grew up listening to her, and I was going to cry because I sang with someone who is a huge inspiration to me.
labels wanted
The thing that I did not like about being signed to a label was I unable to have control over what I wanted to do.
artist support labels
The best part of being signed by a major label was having the support of a big company behind me and the ability to meet new artists and producers.
blessed next labels
My experience working with a major label was not all bad, I was blessed to go through that experience, and I know what to do during the next time around.
want release true-to-myself
I want to release music that is true to myself.
girl sweet speaks-out
I want to let my fans know that I will not hold myself back anymore. Everybody knows me as "15-Year-Old Little Jessica who was on 'American Idol' and who is this sweet, quiet girl." I am very soft-spoken, but I have gone through numerous experiences, and I want to speak out and tell people what has been going on in my life.
hair long nicknames
I used to have hair so long, my nickname was Pocahontas.
