"I'm goooooing baaack to New Orleans"
But not to wear a ball and chain, at least. Just for a visit, and also to visit friends at OU. Then I'll be back in LA, staying at Kimberley Locke's place and being a catsitter with Jennifer.
Huge heartfelt thank yous to everyone associated with American Idol, all the staff, crew, producers, Ryan, Paula, Randy, Simon; to everyone here in LJland who gave me support, encouragement, votes, and came to the show; and to my fellow contestants. Jasmine, I'll miss your sweetness and your beautiful smile that lights up a room. Diana, you are a true Southern Steel Magnolia and I'll miss your energy and spunk. La Toya, you are the epitome of grace and elegance, I admire you so much. Tasia, crazy girl, I'll miss you most of all, Scarecrow. You girls be good, hear?
Fans, fans, fans! You're who I do it for. I'm glad I can bring a little light and sound into your lives. Thank you for bringing me so very far.
God, thank you for the talent you've given me and the opportunities to use it.
