Q. What is the best advice you received during the “American Idol” experience?

A. It would have to be from Adam Levine from Maroon 5. He played on the show one time. He said that you are going to be sick and tired. That you are going to wake up and think that you hate it. But just remember you love it. I thought it was the best advice that I could get because it does wear you out sometimes, just like everything else. But you have to remember why you love it, and that was just really encouraging.
