I wouldn't trade this experience for the world, and I hope I get to be a part of 'The Voice' for as long as I can.
When she started crying in my rehearsal, I felt so badly because I was like, 'I'm making Kelly Clarkson cry right now,' but it also felt really good because I thought, 'If she is feeling this, hopefully, America will feel this, too.'
I am a very driven and hardworking person, and I am independent, and I feel that I have really good instincts.
I want to be my own artist and reflect my creativity.. I don't want to be turned into a pop princess; that's not who I am.
I want to start recording and writing as soon as I can and get music that I love out as soon as possible.
Work hard, because it's obviously not always going to be easy. It's a really hard industry. Put yourself out there and put videos online, because that, honestly, is what changed my life.
If everyone loves you for the person you are, let alone your music is incredible, I think that's a really great place to be.
It's so important to just be nice to everyone and be respectful.
I want to do a darker, pop soul kind of feel.
I want to go to college if I can. That's really important to me, and I really hope that I get that opportunity to do so.
Doing a song that's sassy but kind of has that little flair to it, it's very me.
Being on 'The Voice,' I have a voice. I'm speaking for my generation, and that's huge.
Everyone deserves love.
I'm just really excited to get music out there that's not from the show, because it's cool to be able to break out and have my own stuff under my own name.
I feel that I am more aware of my artistry.
I have met friends that I will stay connected to for the rest of my life.
I could not be more thankful to those who voted me through and believed in me.
I want to make music that people will hear.
The support from back home has been more than I ever expected. They always knew me as the lacrosse player or the girl playing field hockey. Now they're seeing me on national TV, and they've been so supportive.
I wasn't sure what would happen to me after 'The Voice.' I was just excited to make music.
