I'm excited about the new judges on 'American Idol.' Jennifer Lopez was a real mentor to me my season and I admire her so much. And I kind of have a crush on Steven Tyler. It's going to be interesting to see is one person going to stand out among the judges or if everyone will sort of be equal.
Being on 'Idol,' you have no choice but to be an open book.
When I was on 'Idol' and 17, everything was so new. Everyone is so nice and wants to see you succeed.
